List of Real madrid players

Hi, wish I could help, but I have no idea, most of my edits on this article are reverting vandalism, sorry. Regards --Bocafan76 (talk) 17:30, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Henry

Hi, it wasn't me or my idea to do a whole lot of write up on Henry's endorsements, but the fact remains that considerable coverage is given in the body about that aspect of his life. A line in the lead is commensurate with its importance and coverage. Chensiyuan (talk) 19:11, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sandman, can you revisit this FLRC and confirm that all of your concerns have been addressed? Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 23:18, 12 March 2010 (UTC)


Replaceable fair use File:CesarRodriguez.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:CesarRodriguez.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 06:38, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Legends at Barcelona.com

Hey, I believe it's a consensus from everyone involved with FC Barcelona. The players statistical numbers plus the love shown by the fans most often than not determines whether they've become legends. Examples are: Xavi, Messi, Puyol & Iniesta. When they hang it up, they will be added to that list of Barcelona greats. Lafuzion (talk) 23:31, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I have no source and it was an educated guess. But try to contact someone at their website to see what they say. That's the best I can do for now. I'll try to do some research to help you out. Let me know if you come up with something else. Lafuzion (talk) 23:50, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

See hectorthebat for unreferenced BLPs or 3AChinaRailwayENGED for unreferenced articles generally. References should be marked as references; the point of referencing is verifiability. If you stick them under "external links which you might find interesting", how the heck are people meant to easily identify them as sources? Use proper references, and preferably inline citations.

List of FC Barcelona seasons

No problem, mate. Glad to help. – PeeJay 08:50, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

What's the source for the top scorers for each season? It seems to be unsourced at the moment. That will certainly need to be fixed..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:27, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
it's the LFP site (list of barcelona seasons). It's the ref incl. in the note besides the top-scorer heading Sandman888 (talk) 17:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Cool, cheers. Three of the top scorers' names, Barrios, Oscar Garcia and Ramón, link to disambiguation pages, not articles. Do these players actually have articles..........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:02, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
I've searched and it seems they don't. Suggest delinking Sandman888 (talk) 06:34, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Barca seasons - wartime

Hi there

I notice that you put down that no football was played during the Civil War, but RSSSF says that the regional championships continued. Are these regarded as unofficial, in the same way as the leagues played in England during the Second World War are not considered official? Also, RSSSF says that Barca qualified for the 1937 Liga Mediterranea, which is not included on the list. I've never heard of this competition, do you know anything about it......?

Cheers, ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:03, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hiya. On liga mediterranea: Yes I have noticed this before and the Liga Mediterranea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_League) (I just got a mac and can't find hard brackets) is the same as the Campionat in effect (plus some more teams), but was designed to be a national league. Due to the undue disruption the war had on the games played back then, I would be hesitant about including it. It is not considered official by LFP as far as i can tell (the website is, as you probably know by now, user-hostile beyond description), and was not recognized as a La Liga title. Ipso facto, I'd suggest we don't include Liga Mediterranea.

Regional championsships: I'll have a look in the burns book, I think he mentions it. Sandman888 (talk) 10:19, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

After I wrote my comments above, I found a news article about how the LFP refused to recognise Barca's Liga Med. win, so I think that is OK to leave out as it is clearly considered an unofficial competition. It might be worth mentioning in a footnote..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:24, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

If we seperate regional championships from the proffessional era, and just include it in the amatour table, I'd suggest including the regional games played under the civil war. Good/bad idea?

Hi, can you revisit this FLC? Salavat has significantly reduced the proportion of redlinks. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 00:12, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Can you revisit again? I believe your comment is mistaken as the list uses asterisks in addition to color to denote winners. Sorry for bothering you if you're already watching that FLC. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:37, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Barca managers

I'd say that if the managers managed Barca in the Cat.Champ. as well as La Liga, then you need to include both, otherwise you are distorting the stats of the 1930s manager(s)..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:23, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Arthurwitty.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Arthurwitty.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:41, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

List of Nintendo 64 games

I'm curious to know if your thoughts on the sorting tables were about games like "The Legend of Zelda" being sorted by 'T' when the sort button was used. I think I got those problems fixed but wasn't sure if you noticed any others that might be messing up the way the list is set up now. (Floppydog66 (talk) 04:58, 23 May 2010 (UTC))

Hi Sandman, I've restarted this FLRC to which you contributed, it was becoming far TLDR. I'd appreciate your input back there if you can. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:00, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

I've also restarted the list Barca players. It was long overdue to be moved on, but since so much good work has been done, I'm hoping that you'll get the support you need this time round. Feel free to contact previous reviewers to let them know the situation. I hope you understand I'm trying to help rather than just fail the nomination, fingers crossed it'll get more support this time round? Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:07, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
I think I understand what you're saying, so yes, let the past be in the past and let only matters of content divide us. :) Sandman888 (talk) 18:07, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Cool. I think there's been a massive improvement to the players list, so that's why I relisted it and hope you can get enough support. I've left it as a "list needing urgent review" and hopefully, if you leave a note for everyone that reviewed the previous nomination, it should easily pass promotion. Good luck. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:10, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Editors of both FLC's have been notified. Hopefully that'll be enough. On another note, has the article naming circus ended in consensus, regarding single lists, in your opinion? It's been a week w/o reply now. How should I proceed if not. Sandman888 (talk) 18:33, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Looks a little like there's no really clear consensus for one specific solution. Which, unfortunately, seems to be the case each and every time we've discussed this. Right now I'd wait to see if any comments about inclusion criteria or names of lists come up, if so then we'll have to do the whole things one more time....! The Rambling Man (talk) 18:37, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

"Translations"

Hi there SANDMAN, VASCO from Portugal here,

Just a quick note: please, in English, Real Sociedad is not ROYAL SOCIETY, RCD Español is not RCD SPANISH, etc...Also, please don't copy wikilinks from ES.WIKI when creating the article to EN.WIKI, wikilinks sometimes are 100% different.

All for the moment, happy editing - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 23:38, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Thank you very much for the compliment. The very first edit there has your name, and the very first edit (creation) has links copied exactly as they are from ES.WIKI (for example Primera División de España 1974/75), which creates wrong links, and some stuff (as club names) are unduly translated. Of course, with the level of vandalism we have on WP, someone could maybe have accessed your account and done that, i am not saying you did it (and Óscar Vales, and Carlos Ruiz Herrero and Andoni Lakabeg) but if you did, i would like to know what is your approach.

Keep up the good work, regards - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 21:19, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

BARCELONA/ATHLETIC

Hi there SANDMAN, VASCO here, sorry i took so long to reply,

Great job on the list of players for these two clubs (i made some adjustments at the list of Bilbao, namely fixing redirects)! Regarding your question, i'll have to tell you i am not very good at understanding the difference between "good article" and "featured article", nor when an article deserves to reach one status or the other.

I do agree with your commentary that the FC BARCELONA PLAYERS list should only include players with 100 matches or more; however, the legend part is a little more "fuzzy", a good source for debate. I have left a note at the "place" at you request.

Cheers, keep up the great work, from Portugal - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 01:39, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Could you indicate whether you oppose, are neutral or support the list? It's been going for 31 days now, wd like to get an end to it. Sandman888 (talk) 08:03, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

CANITO(s)

Hi there SANDMAN, VASCO here again,

Please undo your move in the list of Athletic Bilbao players, i have just now created the article on CANITO (a nickname); since there are two CANITO players (both Spanish) i inserted the "SPANISH FOOTBALLER BORN x-year" to avoid disambiguation. Still tonight, i will work on their biographies, promise.

Also, why did you write NICANOR SAGARDUY for the Athletic player? His real name was NICANOR TRAPERO GONZALO...Cheers - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 20:59, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:03, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Did you have any other concerns besides the symbol issue? Thought I'd check since the discussion fizzled out and I wasn't sure if that was because you were okay with it or you forgot about the list. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 00:01, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Best way to cap

I noticed at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Washington Capitals seasons/archive1 that you wanted to know whether a capping script existed. To my knowledge the answer is no, but there is a relatively simple method to cap comments. This involves placing comments that have been addressed inside this template; the documentation gives examples of how to use it. Not sure if you already knew about this, but if not the template will hopefully be useful. It's the most user-friendly capping method I've come across. Also, make sure you don't cap any comments you've resolved yourself in your nominations, as that should be left to the original reviewer. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:27, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

BDFUTBOL

Hi there SANDMAN, VASCO here,

Regarding your input here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Marvin_Morgan), i think this site (http://www.bdfutbol.com), although its reliability may not be "top of the game", it's VERY complete - if it fails on one or two games/goals per season, that's it.

Also, if you read the total discussion (my input, that is), you would know that the most reliable source (at least match-by-match) for Spanish players, WWW.LPF.ES, has crashed, so what do we insert for Spanish players? NOTHING? When we have a complete site with season-by-season stats, picture(s) and honours? I find it very strange indeed...

Cheers - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 17:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Hi Vasco, LFP has changed and its irritating. However you can still use it to reference what you find on BDFutbol.com . If you like, I think you should ask at the WP:Village Pump or wherever is appropriate to get some more input on whether bdfutbol can be considered reliable. But as it is now, it is not considered reliable (although I think it shd be). All the best Sandman888 (talk) 18:33, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
