Talk:Vitória F.C.

Kit colours and pattern

These current home colours have been the colours of Vitória in all its life, with this very pattern, and though some stylish variations may appear from time to time, this is the official kit. The only variable kit is the away kit, which features purple and white colours this year, based in the city's colours. --Richard George 21:14, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Names and conventions

Sporting C.P. and Milošević are the correct Wikipedia spellings. --Richard George 21:14, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Sporting CP is meaningless to people outside Portugal. Use Sporting, Sporting Lisbon, Sporting Clube de Portugal is better.

Milošević is the Serbian surname correct spelling, bur per the club official website, and the squad list of inter-national event, it links to Milojević instead of s.Matthew_hk tc 04:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Sporting is not a club or team founded by people far away outside of Portugal, «Sporting CP» follows the european convention for the sake of naming teams. Don't spend much time editing articles which you know little more than nothing. I've lived all my life near these two teams, no matter how hard you dedicate your life to Wikipedia you won't know more about them than people who are inside the clubs. Cheers. --Richard George 22:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Seasonal transfers

I propose to keep the yearly informations mentioning which team the player came from. It is elucidative for the visitors. If the player remains more than one season in Vitória, information will be removed. Wikipedians agree? --Richard George 21:14, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

The new squad list by winter transfer is per official site. Matthew_hk tc 04:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Sport season date format

Hey Mareklug, what you are doing with the dates and figures is converting them to an absolutely weird way of spelling sports seasons. I've never seen that in my all life, and I think you'd better start correcting hundreds of teams around Wikipedia. Thousands of teams if you count other sports. Good luck :\ Richard George.ć

• Richard, I changed "1975/6" to 1975-1976 (by way of an example) to enable wikification of the dates. Do you really think this is unreasonable? If so, I'll change them back, but I'd like to see the links on dates preserved. How do you suggest it be done? -- Mareklug ^talk 05:04, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Ok. I changed them to this format: 1975/76. Hope this is acceptable. -- Mareklug ^talk 05:20, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Major page degrade from May 9th through July (2008)

I'm shocked to see how since edition by 92.3.181.88 (Talk) at 13:43, 9 May 2008 one of the best Wikipedia football club pages has gone down, down, down the drain. User 92.3.181.88 and user Pararubbas have made bad taste changes to the page. The History and News section has gone inferior, totally vandalized with no remorse. It looks vulgar now.

Me and some other careful editors have made this a pleasant page and we are not going to tolerate this bad taste editions, and we are to going to close watch this page and if bad taste persist, we are to submit this page to admnistrators for appreciation since this has become an utter crap, and bad taste seems to be frequent. --Richard George (talk) 00:56, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Since these users don't even care to have talk pages or engage in debates, the History and News setionc of the main article will be recovered imediately.

--Richard George (talk) 00:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I've removed or trimmed several POV statements that appeared to overtly praise the club, such as the "remarkable" "golden age" seasons and "european shock". There are still several statements in the text that I tagged as requiring citations, such as the Euro 2004 stadium attribution and the shaky financial situation. --Pc13 (talk) 17:21, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
