Talk:FC Dallas

message: Hey, as a Timbers' fan. Before I leave Wikipedia, I would like to know if it should be a good idea for FC Dallas' page having a chart of it's homegrown players making it unique to FC Dallas, since the franchise does value their talent from their academies and so forth unlike LA Galaxy who depends on old players whose names are already known.  Should include name, nationality, and year of signing. Any comments or concerns?
There previously was such a page, but it and several other MLS academy pages were deleted. See [] --Lhts120 (talk) 23:47, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

message: When Dr31 "moved" this page from FC Dallas (MLS) to here, it wasn't actually moved.  Everything was simply copied and pasted to here.  That lost all the edit history to the page.  That edit history is still sitting over there at the (MLS) one.  Can someone fix this?  Metros232 13:10, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, my bad. I just requested the move at Wikipedia:Requested moves DR31 (talk) 15:29, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've tagged this for a fix by the guidelines on WP:SPLICE.  This will have an admin delete this page, move the FC Dallas (MLS) page to here.  The admin should probably also combine the histories of these two pages since a couple of edits have been made since its move to here.  Metros232 15:38, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the Brimstone Cup was included among the "Honors."  Should 2-club contests really be included with true competition awards? Other club pages omit them under their "Honers."  Would it be better to note it in its own section? -- Quinn 33 11:10, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

message: How about adding GM's? arthur 23:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There was a GM section but all the guys on the list were redlinked so I removed the section. In truth, MLS GMs are rather non-notable and somewhat excessive information. м info 17:54, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I just saw GM sections with other MLS teams and thought it would be good for Dallas to also have one, especially since they were ownerless for a long time, and the President/GMs played a bigger role than with most other teams. arthur 15:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I think it is more reasonable to use "football (soccer)" as opposed to "football" or "soccer" for a couple of reasons:
1. While this is an article based on a North American team, the bottom line is that the official team name incorporates FC in its name. Whether or not this is an attempt to be trendy, the fact of the matter is that FC stands for Football Club. The term soccer is directly taken from association football so as to discern between it and (most notably in the UK) rugby football. If the team didn't have the FC attached to it, it would be a different story in that respect.
2. This article, as part of a greater body of articles on the game and clubs that play it, should adhere to certain naming conventions. The game is called football by a good 95% of the world's population, and while this is a North American based article, viewable by everyone, thus it should, to be consistent and fair, adhere to those same conventions. A compromise, since this team is based in North America where 'football' means something the Cowboys and Steelers play, is for soccer to appear in parentheses  as it does in the actual article about the game.

message: The picture of the home/away shirts, while much prettier than the hodgepodge approximations we have usually on team's websites, they are eggregiously outdated and are in serious need of update.  Can someone with a little more technical skill work on this?  --  Grant.Alpaugh 15:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Getting a picture of the team is not likely to happen outside of an official team photo, and therefore probably copyright to the team.  I'm removing the photo request as it would require us to violate wikipedia policies. Hasteur (talk) 12:55, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

message: There was a discussion about the new roster format and we have had a trial at both the Timbers and Whitecaps articles and recently Cascadia Cup rival Sounders have converted. The idea is to move all club articles on Wikipedia to the new format as is discussed in the original discussion and more recently at the football project.
My suggestion is to complete the MLS team articles first, so if you could respond at this discussion, that would be ideal. In short, the new layout is slightly taller and less wide, but it correctly impliments WP:MOSFLAG and is better for visually impared users of Wikipedia and others who use readers. I plan to implement the change to this article by the weekend of January 20-22, however other editors could make the change sooner. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :FC Dallas's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
