The career span is taken from a source that includes matches that aren't considered full international matches. This needs to be corrected or explained. Hack (talk) 03:00, 27 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
- Good point. Only that column seems to cover A & B Internationals where as all the other information contains just A Internationals which is consistent the Men's list. I think the options are to either delete the career span or correct it. Clifton9 (talk) 10:55, 27 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
- I would've created this list a while back but trying to work out the A international spans seemed like hard work. Hack (talk) 08:56, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
- You're right of course. But does this division into A + B international matches seem arbitrary to anyone else? I might be skirting WP:OR territory here (and I realise we are very lucky to lean on a solid WP:RS like this Howe fellow, who clearly knows his onions). But the '78 teams, for example, were picked by the old Women's Soccer Association and were certainly sent to play as Australia. I know they have to draw the line somewhere but from the outside looking in, it seems a bit like somebody came along MUCH later, wielded a red pen and started retrospectively branding certain national teams and matches "unofficial". The pretext seems to be that players from all states weren't involved - but I don't think that washes when the 87 Taiwan Tournament team ("official") was bereft of its half-a-dozen NSW players who'd pulled out amidst a squabble. I've also seen match length mentioned as a reason but that's another red herring, given that 90-minute matches were not standard until the 1990s! I won't make any nuisance over this and will be happy to go along with whatever you guys decide. These remarks were just prompted by my looking into what you were discussing and happening upon what looked (to me) like something of a grey area.
