Talk:NK Maribor

message: Maribor did not play Champions League all those years. I think it was only one year. Listing all those years is very missleading. Please someone confirm and correct the article.

message: Hi, I've rated this article C-Class. One of the guidelines for an article attaining B-Class is the use of reference to verify the reliability of the material. Currently this article has no references but other than that it meets all the criteria for a B-Class article.
Well done to all the editors who have contributed to this article. I'll keep a watch on it  and look forward to upgrading it to B-Class in the near future. DarthJoeyJoJo (talk) 20:50, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Club seasons and European record look great, but should probably be split into separate articles. This is the usual practice and the article is becoming a bit unwieldy with all that information crammed into it. I've created the club template and a few club-related categories. Also, a list of managers might be a good addition. I haven't explored the subject in detail but this is what I've pieced together so far from other wiki articles:
*Bojan Prašnikar (1996–2000)
*Ivo Šušak (2000–2001)
*Bojan Prašnikar (2001–2002)
*Matjaž Kek (2000–2006)* (the article on Kek says he led the club from 2000 to 2006 although this may be incorrect)
*Darko Milanič (2008–present)
Here's a few suggestions:
*History section could use some subsections to divide it into periods, maybe the Yugoslav era (1960-1991) and modern Slovenia (1991-present).
*The section about the two rivalries with Mura and Olimpija should be shortened since there are separate articles which deal with them in more detail.
*Maybe the Honours section could list best European results and/or best Yugoslav era results? 
*The part in the Players section detailing players wit most apps, various award winners and/or internationals could also be split into a separate article dedicated to player records.
*The Club Officials section does not need individual references per every person listed, especialy if the references all come from the club's official website.
Other than these minor issues the article looks great and seems to me it might be ready for a GA nomination soon.

replies: text: Thanks for your contributions. Obviously there are plans for other articles about the club (List of NK Maribor seasons, NK Maribor in European competitions etc.), but I am currently working on the primary one. It already underwent a recent Peer review and soon it will be put on the GA nomination list. The same will then happened with History of NK Maribor and so on. Also, please don't shorten any of the current stuff in the article since the other articles aren't referenced and weren't recently updated like the main one. As I said, I was primarily working on the main article and didn't had the time to update the rest. I will do that, however, when this one will be completed. About the honours section, I don't agree that anything else then first or second place should be considered. That said I will probably add first and second places of the club in Yugoslav era (third and second division).Ratipok (talk) 01:10, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As you wish. As for the minor fixes in this edit, keep in mind that the article lead usually opens with the article's title (which is NK Maribor) and exlanations of what it stands for and what it means in native language usually come afterwards. Also, clubs are either referred to in third person singular (e.g. "Maribor is/has" - which is more dominant in American English) or third person plural (e.g. "Maribor are/have" - which is more common in British English). You can choose either but the article should be consistent throughout. It is not necessary to use the lang template each time a Slovenian phrase is mentioned because once it has been established that we are talking about Slovenia the reader will assume that all other foreign phrases mentioned in brackets are Slovenian as well. As for Honours, the list oddly does not include the 2006 Intertoto Cup win. Also, there should be a good reason to call Lower Styria "Štajerska". If it has a name in English than that name should be used on English Wikipedia. Cheers. Timbouctou (talk) 16:58, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi. That is your opinion, to which you are off course entitled to. This article follows good article criteria and is listed as Good Article. This means its quality is very high and the lead was pretty much the same when the article was assessed and approved for GA, by the Wikipedia Community.

replies: text: Not correct, when the article was reviewed and listed, it looked like this LINK, as you can see the lead was almost 30% shorter than it is today 86.58.36.235 (talk) 19:10, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
