Copy-edit

 Done

Template:LOCEcopy

I have just completed a copy-edit of this article. My main changes were to tenses in some sections where in English the present perfect tense is more appropriate. One comment - the article uses a couple of different styles for tables, some with grid lines visible and shaded backgrounds, whereas the "current squad" table uses no grid lines and no shading in the main part of the table. Perhaps the tables should all use the same format for internal consistency. – ukexpat (talk) 20:37, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again for the copy-editing this article. Regarding the tables, I'm not sure if the squad table should really be changed, because the currently used template seems to be the default style for football squads. EnemyOfTheState (talk) 19:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

FAC

I have removed the {{fac}} template that was added here today, as the nomination was incomplete. If the intent is to submit the article as a FAC candidate, please re-add {{fac}}, follow the links in the template to initiate the nomination, and add it at WP:FAC. Thank you.

Why the title change?

Why did the title get changed from "Germany" to "German"? EVERY OTHER national team article in the sport is at "(Country name) women's national football team", not "(Adjective) women's national football team"! Although the USA and Canada articles use "soccer" and the Australia article uses "football (soccer)", you'll find them under "United States", "Canada", and "Australia", not "American", "Canadian", and "Australian". In fact, it doesn't even match the MEN'S team, for crying out loud... see Germany national football team. — Dale Arnett (talk) 20:44, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

The article was moved during its FAC because the old title was considered by some as awkward English and as an incorrect translation of the topic's actual German name. The men's article was also moved briefly, but has been moved back by members of the WikiProject Football apparently. EnemyOfTheState_|talk 09:03, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

The team play under "Germany" right? Not "German". (In the German-language of course) I think the article needs to be moved back. —Borgarde 13:14, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what that has to do with the name of this article. Apparently, the men's article also recognizes that "Germany national team" is bad English, since despite it's page name, the bolded title says "German national football team". EnemyOfTheState_|talk 11:58, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
