message: If a nomination doesn't get 3 votes in a week, is it deleted from the list? The Bayern Munich Junior/women have been there two days after they needed the three votes, so should I just delete them? Kingfisherswift 10:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject Biography 

message: There has been a general decline in the number of editors working on the current AID each week, and I don't think it is attracting enough attention to justify making a new selection each week. Currently we only have two nominations, of which the leader has only 2 votes, and the current selection has only been worked on by 3 editors thus far. Perhaps the selection should be made fortnightly rather than weekly, thoughts? Oldelpaso 16:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Should give it a couple of weeks to see if the drought continues, or it could cause some bother if there are a lot of nominations with a fortnightly cleanup. That or all the football articles are now perfect ;). Archibald99 01:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Change to fortnightly?

message: On the face of it Tobias Linderoth is due to be selected, but User:Dk-fck's only contribution is to make that vote, which strikes me as weird. Removing that vote would result in Tottenham Hotspur F.C. being selected. Oldelpaso 10:39, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I figured I'd solve the situation by voting for one of the articles myself. Spurs are likely to be a topic of interest to more editors than Linderoth (biographies tend to attract less attention when selected than clubs, unless its someone iconic like Pele), so I voted for Spurs.

thread_title: Football Stadiums

message: Just curious: the articles on Volkswagen Arena, Weserstadion, Åge Hareide, and Michel Platini were nominated on the same week. On their second week, the former three need at least 2 more votes, but the latter, which was nominated after the former three, needs 3 more. Why is this? T.I.A. --ChaChaFut 02:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The date is extended by a week for every 3 votes.  When Platini got three votes the date was extended, so it will be up for two weeks, whereas the others will be removed after a week if they do not get more votes, note the dates. There's probably a far clearer explanation somwhere else, try the archive. Oldelpaso 19:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of votes needed 

message: It's a shame that the stadium articles I've nominated didn't get enough votes since those are the soccer articles that really need a lot of work on. Kingjeff 19:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, I am beginning the process of expanding the Intertoto Cup. This is arguably the fourth most important tournament in European football, but very little information in contained in Wikipedia (and almost none before UEFA took over in 1995). My name is initially to complete every year 1961-present with introductions and relevant info, group tables, and scores from the knock-out rounds. I have also done a small amount of correction and addition to the Intertoto Cup page, and set up some key redirects that were not in existence previously. Hopefully by the time this season's tournament ends (in late July) I will have completed this process for all 47 seasons. This is rather fitting, as the Intertoto is being abolished after this year.
My 2 main sources are the RSSSF, and a private page of results (which you can find linked from the RSSSF). Plus my own records and, from 1995, UEFA records. There are far too many uncertainties and errors in the group-stage scores at the moment to include a grid with the scores in beside the tables - also, I feel this if pretty ineffective unless you can provide dates and venues for the games alongside (as happens post-1995). For this reason, I am only including the tables on their own currently.
Once all the seasons are finished, I will create some supplementary pages like 'List of clubs by appearances in the Intertoto Cup', 'Records and Firsts in the Intertoto Cup' and a page on changing formats. All advice to me is very much appreciated. HibeeJibee (talk) 15:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Intertoto Cup]] expansion 

message: I'm usually quite a fast learner when it comes to contributing to Wikipedia, but with this one, I'm stuck. I really have no clue how to create kit designs on the article and I was wondering if someone could change the Histon home kit. The home kit looks like this, , and was released today in the local newspaper. As far as I know, the shorts and socks are still the same colour, but could someone change the Histon kit to stripes as in the picture on the page? Thanks. Jazza5 (talk) 17:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll tell you how I'd do it... If you click on the existing football kit you go to here, which, in the yellow box, has a link to here. This not only tells you what to do, but also has a list of kits. Choose either a kit with red stripes or black stripes and use the reverse colour as the shirt colour background. _blackstripescollar looks as near as you'd get, from the existing list.  slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 23:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
