Talk:UEFA Euro 1968

message: :Image:UEFA Euro 1968.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: The official programme for the Euro 68 finals didn't feature an official logo for the tournament at all, as this picture shows: http://deutschefussballcollection.com/programs/Euro%201968%20Finals%20Official%20Programme.htm
In fact, judging by pictures of other programmes from the European Championship tournaments prior to 1980 (on that same site), it doesn't appear as if any of them had an official logo of some sort. Bluebird207 (talk) 22:40, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on UEFA Euro 1968. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

message: Stylizing the European Championship as "Euro" was something that started much later. It's anachronistic to call the 1968 tournament Euro, because that isn't want it was called at the time. In short, the title of this article is wrong. Instant Comma (talk) 16:52, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The names of the European Championship tournaments have been changed retroactively by UEFA, and many people would know this one as Euro 1968 or Euro 68 these days. It's not wrong, it's just probably not what it was called at the time. – PeeJay 17:49, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough, but I would argue that UEFA doesn't have the power to rewrite history. Instant Comma (talk) 19:06, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it is their competition, so they can refer to it by whatever name they like. What name would you suggest for this article? – PeeJay 21:13, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

text: And they did refer to it by the name they chose: "UEFA European Football Championship." I'm saying that UEFA can't rewrite history, even its own history. Wikipedia should be faithful to the historical facts in what is a historical article. Instant Comma (talk) 13:54, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No one is saying they're rewriting history, this is just the name they refer to the competition as nowadays, and the one that most people would know it by (which satisfies WP:COMMONNAME). – PeeJay 16:03, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: But that is what they're doing. As you put it, they've retroactively changed the name. By definition, that's rewriting history. Instant Comma (talk) 16:56, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Changing the way something is referred to nowadays is not the same as changing history. – PeeJay 06:52, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt any historian would agree with that. Names matter, and historians know that. Instant Comma (talk) 18:12, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you a historian? The article is correctly titled using the name that most people would know it by, and the opening sentence uses your suggested name. I really don’t see the problem here. – PeeJay 01:35, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
