Re:2026 FIFA World Cup

Thanks a lot for the link to the source for the 2026 China stuff. Having read it, it does not change my opinion of the 2026 article. The FIFA vice-president mentioned is clearly talking in a hypothetical; he will probably not even be in FIFA when the decision is made. Accordingly, I have decided not to remove the PROD notice; if you wish to, that is your right and I will take it to AfD instead. With regards to 2022, I am deciding whether or not to keep it; for the moment, I will not PROD it, but if 2026 gets deleted easily I might nominate it.

Christian Vandevelde

According to his Team CSC profile, the correct form is Christian Vande Velde. It is the most autoritative source I have found.--Per Abrahamsen 20:21, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I must admit that I have not found the exact correct spelling myself. Three things make me conclude the spelling is probably without the space:
  • Most official sites mention his name without a space, as for instance letour.fr
  • Google, which automatically searches for errors in queries, always ends up saying: Did you mean: Christian Vandevelde? when I type Vande Velde. This means that Christian Vandevelde is far more used than Christian Vande Velde on the internet.
  • Last but not least, Vandevelde comes undoubtedly from Dutch, if he was Dutch or Flemish, the spelling of his name would be Vandevelde or Van De Velde. Both meaning 'From the fields'. Vande Velde is however an unexistent name as Vande is not a word in Dutch and to put the space there is unnatural.

But all in all, I have no watertight proof that one or the other writing is the correct one. --Pelotastalk 20:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be "van de Velde" in Dutch (small caps), I don't see that as an argument that the name is has been Americanized one way or the other. If you quote the name, Google has 60k for "Christian Vande velde" and 100k for "Christian Vandevelde", not exactly decisive. So with regard to the last point, authoritative sources, I'd put his employer at the top of the list of those I have seen. They write his paycheck :-) --Per Abrahamsen 13:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, but also no certainty there, the one 'writing' the paycheck is most of the times not the webmaster and typing errors in foreign names are easily made. For now, I can only say that also the German and Dutch wiki use Vandevelde, not Vande Velde. I'll keep searching for sources. --Pelotastalk 13:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mmm... thanks...

...for the cupcakes! Never feel like you have angered anyone by disagreeing with the rest of the people on an AfD. And even if someone was mad, who cares? It's an AfD, not a life-or-death situation -- no one will die because 2022 FIFA World Cup will get deleted, despite a few people objecting. I was really suprised to find the cupcakes on my user page, but thanks anyway! Keep up the good work, and continue to speak up for what you believe in.

bribing scandal

Hi, I've just read a bit of the article which seems nice at first sight though if i would have a comment it would be that the article seems to go to deep in the details. Actually I'm not quite sure this topic deserves a full article. Maybe including it into a broader "Bribery in Belgian football" could be an idea. It's been a long time i wanted to write stuff about "what's wrong in Belgian football" (bribery, the weak FA which takes suspicious and weak decisions, the lack of money and modern infrastructures, etc) but right now i think making an article on bribery in belgian football is a good compromise. I'll try to help you on that in the future if you think it's a good idea. Julien Tuerlinckx 22:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was originally just thinking of translating (from the Dutch wikipedia) the final paragraph I haven't done yet and that was it. I have not thought of the 'deepness' of the article or the fact if the topic deserves a full article, but maybe you're right. However, I don't really know a lot about other facets of gambling and bribing in belgian soccer. --Pelotastalk 23:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the Dutch literal translation --Cat out 00:44, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No Problem, I'm not sure if it is entirely right though, the translation I made from Dutch back to English is correct, but I'm not sure about the original English to Dutch. "Cool" does not in any way resemble "Tight". --Pelotastalk 12:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pelotas, Welcome, but how come that you are working on the lux Wiki? -- Myriam

Well, I'm not planning on editing much on the lux wiki but I will probably have to add some links to pages in other languages which is why I created an account.

Yes, we have many problems with the vandalism of the America pages and the Peru/Chile pages for some reason. This is why they are protected. But they should only be semi-protected, that is protected to unregistered users, or new users. You should be able to edit it within a day or two. As far as links go, if you see any other wiki, please change the link to Civitates Foederatae Americae, as this is the proper latin name for the US. Anything else?--Ioshus 17:40, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Icons

  1. Second yellow - see {{
    yel
    }}.
  2. Penalty goal - adding (pen) is standard on most sports websites - the goal is counted as a normal goal, so the icon need not be differnt.
  3. Missed penalty - these are not included in most match summaries.

As for the alternating grey layout - iut is only your opinion that it looks crappy now, but it is not set to white - it is set to transparent. We shouldn't hard-code background colours outisde of the stylesheet. ed g2stalk 12:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC) ed g2stalk 12:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

True if you are viewing the article on the Wikipedia website using the default skin. If someone else runs a mirror with a different background - or you customise your skin to use a different background, then there is a big difference between white and transparent. ed g2stalk 12:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I can agree that it is just my opinion, but still between white and transparent is not much difference is there? ;) Thanks for the icons, too bad about the missed penalties. :s --Pelotastalk 14:37, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, calm down.. I thought you were talking about this edit. The capitalisation of "results" is simply wrong. The hyphen is open to debate but article titles tend not to use them. "(... August 2006)" or "August 2006 ..." are much more common ways of date grouping (see here for examples). ed g2stalk 12:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Belgian names

Thanks for your info. Honestly I do not know for sure if Belgian names always capitalize "Van" or "De". It just appears to me that they are almost always capitalized from the Belgian names I see. I know that it's different from the Dutch, which always use lowercase "van" and "de". As for why I left the comment, this is in response to the previous edits of Stephan Van Der Heyden and Jelle Van Damme. The editors moved the pages from capital to lowercase letters, and left the comments Interjectives should be written without capitals and 'van' in between names needs to be written small, which are certainly incorrect for Belgian names. I guess the editors confused them with Dutch names. As I'm also not 100% correct, I apologize. But it's much more likely that the capitalized "Van" are used in the two names, so I moved them back to its original pages. If there are evidence that the two people use lowercase "van", sure we should move them back. But there aren't, unless we get to see their identity cards, as you suggest. Chanheigeorge 00:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologise, at least you care! And indeed it is hard to be sure, one can only hope that the names are correctly spelled in the media and work from there, in this case I can say that I don't really know about Van Der Heyden, but Van Damme is commonly spelled with capital letters as part of Anderlecht and the Red Devils. --Pelotastalk 09:03, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature:
Barnstar Brigade
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!

Hi

Hi Pelotas,

Please don't take my user page seriously. I don't really care about those things that much, but I find it a lot better to argue about silly things like soccer and the metric systems than war or terrorism or abortion or other things that people get really upset about. If it offends you, I'll take it down. But since you're a Simpsons fan: Can you tell me where I got the title: "These things I believe?" -- Mwalcoff 00:08, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nono, leave it, doesn't offend me I just found it quite harsh/bold overall. I totally agree that all in all these are just silly things. About the simpsons thinghy, it's when Homer has the right answer to a radio show question. Is it not the title of a Rory Calhoun (?) album? --Pelotastalk 00:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Belgian League Results

Hi Pelotas. I see you're an ardent supporter of Belgian football and have put a fair bit of work on the league here. Just to say that we are using a different template for Serie A results if you want to have a look at it. The 16 team version is being used for Portugese league.

Here's a blank 18 team version of the template

{{Football (soccer) table results 18 teams|

}}

Just to say aswell, that we have it setup on the Serie A page so that if you click on a result in the table you get taken directly to result on the detailed results page. Handy for picking out one result in particular instead of trawling through pages and pages. Niall123 18:27, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I've noticed it already, but I believe that the table can be too wide for the people with smaller screens. I would like to see each teamname in the top bar shortened to three letters max. But good work nonetheless, making the results clickable however is a very good idea. I've already copied the idea of a clickable number of goals per team in the standings table. --Pelotastalk 21:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing that you're using Firefox. If you look at the table using IE, the names of the clubs along the top are shown as vertical. I've had this discussion already with another person. Here's a screen shot as how it looks on my screen using IE. Screen Shot. Hopefully they'll sort out firefox to fix this. Niall123 21:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Age tag for the the fb in, fb si and fb out templates

I'm not sure what you mean by extra tag, but in the bottom of the squad information and players in / out tables there are explanation about the age: end of the season for squad information and signing day for players in / out. So, for example, if you take a look at
Arsenal_F.C._season_2007-08#In code, you'll see something like this age={{age|1985|4|18|2007|5|25}}. I hope that's a solution. If you have a better solution, please lets discuss it. Regards. --ClaudioMB (talk) 16:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply

Minor edit marking

Hi - maybe you don't realise you need to change your preferences ... Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Regards --Matilda talk 01:28, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User page help

Dear Pelotas...I see that you have requested help in getting your user page in order and am willing to help you. My suggestions will not be full of a lot of flashy formatting. In my opinion, the less a user page looks like a Wikipedia page, the harder it is to read and navigate. You can go to my user page to see how an infobox can handle most of the routine information which you can expand upon if you so desire in the body of your user page.

To keep this conversation all in one place, you can respond on your talk page here. However, I ask that you put {{Talkback|Pelotas|User page help}} on my talk page to alert me to your response. Either way, I would like to hear back from you.

Pelotas, I am adamantly against such pages. To me they are an eyesore. I prefer going with the

Re:

results table

I made the change because of the following reasons:

  1. Better access to a certain result, in correspondance to the unwritten "create easy access to every fact" rule
  2. Alphabetical sorting is broad consensus in almost all UEFA season articles for this season, especially in the top leagues

However, it would be okay if the edit would be reverted, provided that there is consensus (either already reached or to be built in the future) on sorting the results by last year's position.

Nationality of
Oleg Iachtchouk

Listen, the thing is that Oleh, I suspect, was not fully aware of citizenship laws of Ukraine and I think that people who let him to obtain a dual-citizenship was under-quilified as they failed to warn him about this issue. In Ukraine recently a newly naturalized Serbian Marco Devic had to give up his previous citizenship in order to play for

Ukraine. It's a big issue as one needs to think not twice, but make a final decision whether it is worth to give up one's citizenship for the other country's. Him thinking that he has a dual citizenship would that truly be correct? His dual citizenship does not hold any ground as it is not recognized by his native country. Putting a Ukrainian flag only adds a confusion to that issue. Yes, he is truly a native Ukrainian and his last name can not get any more Ukrainian. However, he is a naturalized Belgian citizen and at his age there is no really a reason for him to change it back. Therefore consider him as Ukrainian somewhat discrimatory as by law he is an accepted Belgian citizen. On personal note, I feel bad that he was not given a single chance to play on the international level as he truly desrves it. And, in my opinion, Ukraine national really needs such players. Pelotas, do not take my message personally as I try to make a point. Yaschuk could easily play for Belgian national, but he is being a stuborn jackass. In his situation that would be the way show his skills. But if he prefers his pricipals over his career or a chance to make a national team then it's his personal issue.

Source for goalscorers (Jupiler League 2008-09) needed

Hi Pelotas,

first of all, thanks a lot for your work on

WP:V
and its consequences. All of this would certainly not have happened if there had been a reliable source.

So, in order to prevent those... I don't know how to call them... from arguing "But there is also a unsourced list of scorers on the Belgian article, yet it goes unsanctioned" - could you please add a source to your list? Ideally, it should be something similar to this (German Bundesliga) from either the Belgian association or another reliable source.

Once again, keep up the good work! Cheers, Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 20:33, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Although I'll be honest, I just added the three most used sites by myself when I want to look up any information about the league, instead of veryfying the wikipedia content with those three sites. I do not use them to update the goal scorer list, because if you investigate those closely, then different sites will always give different results. So how do I know it is right? Well, I have a huge excel sheet in which I add each and every goal scorer in each match played. Once you have the list it's no so much work to update it every week, I even have more trouble with keeping the length of the columns the same ;) --Pelotastalk 20:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks! By the way, it doesn't matter how it's done as long as the sources are good to go... :-) --Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 21:24, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion welcomed

Soccer-holic and I are trying to improve league articles in general, especially when talking about colors used in league standings. We are thinking that codes (colors) should be unified and used in the same way in all articles. So take a look at this Soccer-holic's subpage: User:Soccer-holic/League season article, which explains parts which every league articles should consist of, as well as using the colors in the right order and code. Please leave your comments and improvements (if needed) so we can take the final proposal to the community on Wikipedia:WikiProject Football. SonjiCeli (talk) 15:18, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can see where this unified color scheme would be useful indeed, maybe we should make a standard template which explains the colors, as they did for formula 1
here and the colours should probably be linked to the ones chosen before... --Pelotastalk 15:38, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply

New footballer articles

Hello. I've noticed that you are creating new articles about living persons but are not including references. While I appreciate your efforts to improve Wikipedia's coverage of football, articles need to have references so the information can be verified and to establish the notability of the subject of the article. I expect that you are using some type of reference (such as www.vi.nl, www.playerhistory or guardian.touch-line.com) to create the article, so please just add it. You can check how I did it on the Denis Odoi article, or feel free to ask me questions if you need help. Best regards. Jogurney (talk) 13:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Former World Cup matches

Hello. My name is Edson Ortolan (from Brazil). Another day I suggested to add in some place (new article or new entry in another page) the former matches between the teams of the Fifa World Cup 10. I listed all plays until Group D. The reference is the Wikipedia. I don't know how the Wikipedia works to these contribuitions. I didn't know about signature, address and other things. Example: must I let my email in the message ? Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.0.123.234 (talk) 15:17, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Edson, I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but in theory you could just ask what you want on each page. If it's correct meaningful information, somewhat structured and in theory following the wikipedia guidelines, then you cannot do anything wrong. If you do, someone will correct it anyway. In this case, you could for instance add the info on pages 2010 FIFA World Cup Group A through 2010 FIFA World Cup Group H, as a section at the top, or for each match individually within the article. Anyone can edit wikipedia, that's the basic idea! :) So you do not need do put your address or email anywhere. If you create a (free) account however, then you avoid problems with blocked pages (Sometimes this happens because many unregistered users try to ruin pages). Now whether you create an account or not, when posting on talk pages, you should sign your comment by putting ~~~~, this automatically changes into your ip address (or nickname) and adds the time of posting.

I was curious for search the results between the teams of the 2010 World Cup, because Brazil played against Portugal in 1966 World Cup (Portugal 3 X 1 Brazil) in Round 1 and I rememberd that Portugal beat Korea DPR (5 X 3) in Quarters.

2010-11 BFD Positions by round

Since the new season of Belgian First Division introduces new relegation play-off, I wanted to ask you if you could modify the Round-by-round template(s) so the table can display a lighter shade of red for both 15th and 16th place. I would do it myself but I really don't know how. Also, while making these changes (assuming they're possible, of course), it would be great to somehow make a difference between this season's and the previous season's templates so that the 2009-10 RbR table could still keep the darker shade for the 16th position.

Neat idea

for the team season template. Why not include the Pro Continental teams? Just do whatever teams we've got articles for. Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 02:00, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for 2010–11 Belgian Second Division

Well... that's it. Thank you for the correction. I know comments are for the talk page. I am pissed off with WP and acted in a rush and foolishly. My apologies to you, I didn't mean to disrespect your efforts. BTW, I wrote a few lines about that at the Village Pump, in case you'd like to understand why. - 2.82.175.120 (talk) 13:13, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok

Ok geen probleem, ik zie dat je een vlaming ben dus antwoord ik even in het Nederlands.

Ivm uitgeleende spelers van het voorbije seizoen, mag ik die toevoegen of moet ik wachten tot 1 juli want ik weet niet precies wanneer die uitleencontracten aflopen.

  • Voor aflopende contracten lijkt het mij logisch dat ze bij End of 2010-11 season komen. Voor nieuwe loan deals normaal op de afgesloten datum, is de datum onduidelijk, dan kan het msschn best ook bij End of 2010-11 season. Zie bvb Gertjan De Mets, loan einde staat bij "end of season", terwijl hij ook op 14 maart staat wegens dan nieuw contact getekend. Dit is hoe ik het oorspronkelijk heb opgesteld, maar als je een beter en overzichtelijker idee hebt, stel gerust voor he... Pelotastalk 14:51, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dutch Governments

Do you have a reference for "Always a I nowadays, even if there is no II (yet)" for "moved Di Rupo Government to Di Rupo I Government over redirect"? And does the Always refer to Wikipedia custom or custom in Belgium?Naraht (talk) 15:34, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand http://www.belgium.be/nl/over_belgie/overheid/federale_overheid/federale_regering/samenstelling_regering/ says "Hieronder vindt u de samenstelling van de regering Di Rupo." without the I.Naraht (talk) 18:02, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Without consistency, it probably shouldn't be moved, but what's done is done. We have a redirect and when (and if) it there is a standard reference, we'll deal with it then I guess. The German, French and Dutch pages are without the I. However the German and Dutch pages appear to have redirects from pages *with* the I...

Finnish League and Cup articles

Hi Pelotas. I am making contact with those Editors that take an active interest in Finnish football on English Wikipedia.

For a long time I have been happy to work on Finnish football on Wikipedia without making contact with other Finnish football enthusiasts - basically I like preparing articles / undertaking tasks that interest me and contact with others has not been important. However recently some of my work was changed by a Wikipedia Reviewer and this has led me to question what approach I should be following and indeed what approach would other Finnish football enthusiasts wish to adopt?

The current issue I face is the naming of Finnish Football League and Cup pages. I have adopted the approach that we should always be using the Finnish name in the title, for example 2007 Ykkönen and 2001 Veikkausliiga. However, I am aware that words like Mestaruussarja mean very little to most English speaking Wikipedia users. I therefore have included the English name in the title as well in recent pages, for example, 1936 Mestaruussarja – Finnish League Championship, 1938 Suomensarja – Finnish League Division 2 and 2000 Kakkonen – Finnish League Division 2. I thought that this approach might be a suitable naming convention until the Reviewer changed "2012 Suomen Cup - Finnish Cup" back to 2012 Finnish Cup.

The basic question I am asking is whether Finnish League and Cup articles should have a Finnish or English title or some form of hybrid?

I provide examples below:

Finnish Title English Title Hybrid Title
2012 Veikkausliiga 2012 Finnish Championship 2012 Finnish Veikkausliiga
2012 Kolmonen 2012 Finnish Division 3 2012 Finnish Kolmonen
2012 Suomen Cup 2012 Finnish Cup 2012 Finnish Suomen Cup
2012 Suomen Liigacup 2012 Finnish League Cup 2012 Finnish Liigacup
1938 Maakuntasarja 1938 Finnish Division 3 1938 Finnish Maakuntasarja
1954 Suomensarja 1954 Finnish Division 2 1954 Finnish Suomensarja
1970 II divisioona 1970 Finnish Division 2 1970 Finnish II divisioona
1986 III divisioona 1986 Finnish Division 3 1986 Finnish III divisioona
1997 Ykkönen 1997 Finnish Division 1 1997 Finnish Ykkönen

I have read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) and Wikipedia:Article titles but have not reached a firm conclusion yet on the best way forward in establishing a consistent approach. The issue does matter with respect to the corrections I must make to existing pages and the tens of pages yet to be prepared. It could also carry implications for some of the articles that you currently contribute to.

I think that the matter would best be addressed on a proper basis and encourage that the issue is considered on the Talk Page of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Finland task force. If the matter is of concern to you as well, please add your name to the list of participants on the main page.

You may also wish to comment on the project structure that I have prepared.

Kind regards - (
