Talk:2006–07 DFB-Pokal

message: Do we know the possible match ups for the Semi Finals? I'm working on a Bracket for it. Kingjeff 22:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Just providing a reference point for future reverts. Kingjeff's reasonings in favour of the former have gone from "DFB actually calls it the 3rd Round" to "My preference is 3rd Round" to "Why don't you try this on UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup articles?". Then, when I enlightened him to the fact that the 2006-07 UEFA Cup article uses "Round of 16", he tries again with "That's not the point. The point is that the governing bodies (in this case DFB) calls it the 3rd Round." - Dudesleeper · Talk 17:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: They call it the 3rd Round. - Dudesleeper · Talk 18:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly. That's justification right there to call it the 3rd Round. Kingjeff 18:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hrm. How does the DFB justify what should go in the English Wikipedia? - Dudesleeper · Talk 18:09, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

text: The DFB doesn't call it the 3rd Round.  The company they hired to translate their webpage called it the 3rd Round. Johnn 7 03:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And what Justification does Wikipedia have in naming a portion of a DFB event? Kingjeff 18:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The justification was that it's more user-friendly. Sich erinnern? - Dudesleeper · Talk 18:21, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think this adds to user friendliness at all. Kingjeff 19:10, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It provides the reader with the number of teams remaining in the competition. How is that not helpful to the user? Should quarter-finals and semi-finals be renamed 8th Round and 9th Round, etc.? - Dudesleeper · Talk 19:24, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But that's not the name of those rounds. This wouldn't happen in any other article. Why should it happen in this paticular article? Kingjeff 19:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what you're basing your naming of rounds on; there's no written rule. Rounds should be numbered from 1 to x, but we change the names to make it easier to understand, which is the part you're not getting. - Dudesleeper · Talk 19:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How does it make it easier to understand? I think 3rd Round is pretty simple to grasp. Kingjeff 17:29, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So if I tell you it's the third round of the (fictional, before you go looking) African Tea Cup tonight, how many teams are still in it? - Dudesleeper · Talk 17:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Annnnyway. I'll let you keep it as 3rd Round because I know you prefer to have control over articles you've either started or have put time into. That's the reason I didn't even respond to your invitation to join your Football League: Season-by-season WikiProject. - Dudesleeper · Talk 17:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not controling this article. Consensus says I'm right and you're wrong. The fact you didn't respond shows that you are a very rude person. Kingjeff 18:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I have no idea what you're talking about. Kingjeff 16:11, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You can't understand English? I don't think the English wiki is the right place for you then, my friend Sinfony81 16:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "3rd Round"  versus "Last 16"/"Round of 16" 

message: Why don't these articles display the final rounds with something like this?
It's a little fiddly getting the order right, but it still looks clearer than using the tables. - 52 Pickup 10:36, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
