I think this is not reasonable, at least in not Spanish version, due to the ignorance in relation to spanish regional flags, I would choose to use national flags, and regional only in the article of players and Spanish article.

message: I think their is plenty of club history in this article as it is. It is comparable in length to the history section of the FC Barcelona official website and covers all the main events in the clubs history. Describing the history section here as measely is a bit inconsiderate to say the least. It is a vast improvement on what was here before I started contributing.
The problem with these History of... pages is that their length becomes excessive and the articles just repeat sections of the main article. Some fans find it difficult to remain objective and fill the articles with trivia and facts only of interest to the hardcore fans of the club. As a result these articles are poor in standard and become almost unreadable for non-fans. I have already started an FC Barcelona in Europe and this article has room for more history. There is also a  which has links to other articles and further history can be added here where necessary e.g. Camp Nou. Djln--Djln 21:26, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Over the past six months or so I have regularly edited the FC Barcelona article. While I look forward to reading good edits, it is very frustrating to come back and find the page radically altered for the worse without any discussion. It is also annoying when contributors refuse to enter into discussion and just delete edits without assessing their merits. I think the following issues need to be clarified.   
                      
*FC Barcelona is a sports club, not just a football club, and in the opening paragraph all sports should be treated equally. To have in the first line best known as football club does not seem right. 
*The club is only really regarded as an institution in modern Catalonia and this status does not stretch as far as Valencia.
*FC Barcelona has never won the UEFA Cup and reference to this competition should not be included in the major trophies section. They have however won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup on three occasions. 
*There are separate articles about the Supporters of FC Barcelona and FC Barcelona in Europe and these can be expanded. Excessive info/stats  about these subjects does not need to be here as they only make the page exceed article size. 
*As far as I am aware the club fields a team in the Copa Catalunya 
*Is it really necessary to list website links to every fansite in the world ? I think these are better placed at Supporters of FC Barcelona. Djln --Djln 22:58, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree the colour should be a darker shade of blue but with the .png not being changeable (well at least I don't know how to preserve the transparency) I cannot do it so I use that shade of blue for the rest of the kit and it was not acceptable.

message: I would like to request that 83.1992.2006 be banned from editing the FC Barcelona article and that the article be given extra protection against him. He has behaved like a vandal, continuously adding incorrect and inaccurate info to the article. His edits fail to recognise the following facts.
*FC Barcelona has never won the UEFA Cup and reference to this competition should not be included in the major trophies section. They have however won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, a precursor competition, on three occasions. 
*There are separate articles about the Supporters of FC Barcelona and FC Barcelona in Europe and these can be expanded. Excessive info/stats and external links about these subjects does not need to be here as they only make the page exceed article size.
*The following statement cannot be substantiated. "In May 2006 the number of club members (socis in catalan language) surpassed 140,000 making the club third worldwide only to Manchester United and Benfica." I'm not sure it is possible to accurately measure how many supporters actually support any particular club, so statements like this should go. 
While inserting these edits over and over again, 83.1992.2006 shows no regard for other edits from genuine editors. Edits have to be reinserted constantly or they become lost.  Despite several requests from myself and other editors, he refuses to discuss anything on Talk: FC Barcelona and he also uses a misleading User ID. At least two other editors, Yonatanh and Bcnviajero  have expressed concern about his edits.

*Congrats on finding this page. Its about time. With the greatest respect, your edits are far from spotless and your general behaviour has been childish to say the least. Dream Team nickname only referrs to the FCB team during the 1990s. I have never seen it used to referr to any FCB team before or since. I also have reservations about the Laporta Years but I think Recent Events should be confined to the most recent season. Laporta has been president since 2003! Unless anyone  can think of better title, I think this should stay. The FCB website does not claim the club won the UEFA Cup. To include this is just inaccurate and misleading. Manchester United do not have members, so where are you getting these figures from? Maybe there is room to include, the two links you referr to above. However the others are OTT and have been included at Supporters of FC Barcelona anyway. Djln--Djln 17:24, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I have done some concessions in fans & socis, "laporta years", links ... 
Dream team nick (still used), fans & socis new version, additional info in 1992 and 2006 champions league finals, fairs cup/uefa cup thing and new links INALIENABLE.
Thanks, good night and good luck all.
It is good to see that a debate has started. Congrats to those taking part. I have already outlined my views several times on this page. Here is what I think might be fair compromise.
*Only the FCB team of the 1990s was referred to by nickname "Dream Team".  This is already acknowledged in "The Cruyff Years". If it is still used in reference to the handball team, then it should be cited in the more relevant article, FC Barcelona-Cifec.             
*Bcnviajero makes very good defence of "The Laporta Years". Laporta appointed/hired the others named. 
*I would be willing to compromise and include Champions League dates but the reference to UEFA Cup has to go. The club itself makes no claim to having won  this trophy and only referrs to the Fairs Cup . The 1971/72 season  saw the competition taken over by UEFA and relaunched, with a new trophy, as the UEFA Cup. By replacing the trophy, renaming the competition and revising the entry regulations, UEFA effectively ended the Fairs Cup. 
* The section on fans/socios is very POV. It contains info that cannot be backed up or accurately measured. I included the number of fans in the intro but this was the only part of this section was worth including. Plus the Supporters of FC Barcelona is better place for this.
*I have no strong opinion either way about the picture.
*The links ARE a part of the article and take up valuable space that could be better used. Three links is about right. Plus links to foreign fansites have been included on Supporters of FC Barcelona anyway. 
*In addition, Cruyff is the most common spelling used of this name. Can we keep this spelling please. Djln--Djln 22:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

-About fans & socis, if some information mentioned here is at the beginning of the article is becasue someone took them from Fans & Socis and put it there. 20% information is reliable. Im gonna keep this section unless its info be included in intro.
- Socis elect the president, not directors neither staff. That's presidents work. 
83.1992.2006
OK, personally I am fine with saying "predecessor" as you have written.  Anyone else got an opinion, though?
I have put the relevant information from the "fans and socis" in the introduction so, as you state, the paragraph is not necessary.  The only part which is not now there is the 20% because there is no evidence provided.  If you can find a link to this, then let's have a conversation about if that is useful and where it can go.  Until then, it should not be there.
You are right on the election.  I will make the change.
Assuming others are OK with the "predecessor" bit and you agree on the 20% (which is really non-negotiable in the absence of evidence), I think we have a consensus.  Everyone OK?

For future reference, 83.1992.2006, your manner of dealing with this has been very negative, hostile and damaging, and not at all in the spirit of Wikipedia.

message: I think there is no point in defining FC Barcelona as a "Catalan sports club", and not a Spanish club, just like the rest of teams from Spain -- which are not defined by their region. Wikipedia should be coherent in definitions, Barsa is in the same cathegory as all the Spanish clubs and should be described as such.
The current definition could be misunderstood by any person who does not know much about sports, specially those from outside Spain -- this is the English page. FC Barcelona professional teams take part mainly in national tournaments, Catalan tournaments being the main competitions only for its amateur teams. Notice the table at the right, where it says Barcelona football team (the most important inside the club) takes part in 'La Liga' (the Spanish League)
The articles about Barcelona B and Winterthur FCB are a good example for this little problem. The former is defined as a "Catalan football team", the latter as a "Spanish basketball team", but both belong to the same club and depend on the Football and Basketball Spanish Federations. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.194.178.151 (talk) 15:11, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: What's your comment about the new squad table format? Do you have any suggestion to improve it? Keep this new table format or go to the old one?--ClaudioMB 05:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone did a similar thing with the Fulham squad and me and WATP agreed that it is best to keep the old format because what are you going to do with  the likes of Workington where contract and apperance data is hard to come by and another point was it is barely relevant to the main club article. Discuss here if you agree/disagree. Kingjamie 17:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
