Talk:List of 2006 FIFA World Cup matches

message: Dear contributors, How you consider how much we are needed in the paragraph Game calendar? As on me it simply duplicates the information going below and litters this article. SteveGOLD 10:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I partly agree. Though it repeats the information from a following section, I think that this is more relevant to me since the information displayed is chronologically arranged, rather than arranged by the World Cup groupings, which is probably more important for those following this event on television. However, the problem of this section lies in its general appearance. One look at it and I already has a headache--it is certainly a feast for the eyes--lots of information, with flags, time, groupings, place, etc.--but the presentation of the information is not up to standards. Why not move this to a separate article (just leave a link for this section), and rearrange the information by row, instead of by column. One column each for the date, grouping, match, time, place, etc. And it is arranged chronologically from top to bottom. In that way, the information on this site won't be duplicated by another section, but at the same time, a new section/link can give another view/presentation/organization of the information provided here.

replies: text: I created the page 2006 FIFA World Cup calendar and linked to it from the 2006 FIFA World Cup page for exactly these reasons! In my opinion it should be kept seperate with a link from the main page. — Dan1980 10:35, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, please keep this separate! I just wanted to print out the calendar and was pretty dismayed to find the page to be merged into the huge main article. 84.144.121.21 10:39, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Game Calendar 

message: A recent edit was made to add lines to the calendar, but it was reverted: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2006_FIFA_World_Cup_calendar&oldid=59267091
The problem with the lines is that they are identical to the ones separating the calendar days. Maybe if a very light shade of gray was used then the lines would be fine Dav2008 15:22, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

The calendar looks and works much nicer for the intended purpose of this page Dav2008 14:37, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Calendar vs. Chart

message: This article's format has changed greatly.  It now reads more like a list and is no longer really a calendar, but more of a schedule.  So I am proposing a name change to either: 2006 FIFA World Cup schedule or List of 2006 FIFA World Cup matches.  PaulC/T+ 20:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm proposing we revert to the calendar format. It was easy to read and you didn't have to scan your eyes across the table to try to figure out what time a game was being played Dav2008 23:04, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
