WPS 2008-09 Season

Thank you for updating the page more (Bes2224 (talk) 00:33, 26 November 2008 (UTC))

No problem! Glad to help. =-) (CyMoahk (talk) 17:58, 28 November 2008 (UTC))

Hey, thanks for the appreciation of the cleanup. I did remove some stuff, so I just wanted to explain the justification for some of the changes I made.

1. The all-star game is not a sure thing yet, and even if it was there are no details about it whatsoever. I just don't think it is noteworthy to say, "There may or may not be an all-star game this season. It will be played either in the middle or the end of the season. It will be played in a stadium that has yet to be announced." Does that make sense?
2. Attendance is a statistic that gets us into a lot of trouble. Here, here, and here are articles talking about how dubious attendance is as a statistic. There is even a lot of doubt as to whether stadium capacities are accurate. As this is the case I have a problem devoting two sections of the article to attendance. I understand the league is heavily invested in showing how many people showed up for the inaugural season, as it will likely be the peak attendance for the first several years, but that doesn't mean we have to be as well.
3. Scoring should wait until the season starts, and depending on whether they care about assists, we can include those as well. Also, we should wait to see if WPS, like MLS, awards some sort of weekly awards for player/goal of the week. If so, we can include those lists as well.
4. Playoff brackets and whatnot can be handled when they start to crystalize. I would advocate making a seperate article for the playoffs that is linked to this one, with more detail obviously. I would just put the bracket (and yes, I will work on getting one for this system) on the season article and put the footballboxes and whatnot in that other article.
5. Season awards and all the rest of it should also wait until they are announced after the season to go in.

So, yeah, I look forward to working on the article with you over the course of the season. I do a lot of work with MLS and U.S. Soccer articles so I can give you any help you need. Always happy to help. Have a good one. -- Grant.Alpaugh 02:32, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

WPS Drafts

Yeah, hopefully I'll get around to them. Not sure when, maybe in the next few weeks. Hopefully before the season kicks off. After they start playing, we should really start upgrading a lot of these girls' bios. GauchoDude (talk) 18:10, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Athletica All-Time Roster

No problem, man. Just don't fuck with the stats. As WPS has it right now, when a player moves teams they don't attribute the stats to the old team. Hence, for Kerri Hanks (and others), if you look at her Sky Blue stats you will notice it has her Athletica stats embedded. If a player moved, it was a lot to go through all the box scores to find the stats for one team as compared to the other. GauchoDude (talk) 21:32, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Washington Freemdom, Boston Breakers

Just as Atlanta Beat has been split between WUSA and WPS (and just as the same has been done on the men's side, most notably teams from USL jumping to MLS), I think we should split these articles into two separate ones per team. Obviously this poses a problem as Washington Freedom have played in 3 different leagues, but clearly, even if under the same ownership, they are separate teams and their articles should reflect as such. Let me know what you think. GauchoDude (talk) 17:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

• This may be the case, however I believe the president for Wikipedia is that the articles are split up just by looking at some other examples. See Seattle Sounders, Portland Timbers, and Vancouver Whitecaps. All of these are USL teams stepping up (or attempting to) whose articles are split into their time in the USL and MLS. This would be, more or less, the same situation that Boston and Washington encounter. Boston played in the WUSA (2001 to 2003), folded, then played in the WPS (2009 and on). Washington played in the WUSA (2001 to 2003), didn't even play in a league for two years while doing "exhibition games", played in the W-League (USL equivalent) for 3 more years, then finally jumped back to the WPS. Despite playing in the WPS, they STILL have a team playing in the W-League which is obviously a separate team. Just my two cents. GauchoDude (talk) 21:30, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
  • I'm fine to have it open for other people to chime in. I think Boston is a definite break-up article. I think Washington should be a partial break up. Obviously the team has been run continuously which is in favor of keeping them together, but now they have two separate teams in two separate leagues competing simultaneously which is in favor of a break-up. I think there should be a "WUSA/WPS" one and a "W-League" one, making note that since the creating of the WPS, the W-League team is now a "minor league" or "second tier" team. GauchoDude (talk) 22:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

WPS Map

Re: [1], I assume you just wanted the Athletica dot moved into Missouri and for the state to be filled in. I've gone ahead and done that. Let me know if that will work or if more changes are needed. --SkotyWA^Talk|_Contribs 03:53, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I took another stab at it. Does this work better? --SkotyWA^Talk|_Contribs 04:31, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Improving WPS Articles

Hey man, me again. I was looking through the WPS pages to see how everything is coming along and it pretty much looks like it's just you and me that are doing this. I figured we should collaborate amongst each other in order to plan how to attack this beast. I noticed you've done great work with the infoboxes and individual articles and team seasons, etc. I'd love if you could extend what you've done with the Saint Louis Athletica to the other teams. As for me right now, I'm going through and creating massive amounts of player articles as well as all time rosters and wikifying some team pages (most notably I just did Sky Blue FC, which didn't look like anyone had worked on it since the initial drafts!). Let me know what you think. GauchoDude (talk) 06:24, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

TOA League

Hey, sorry if I stepped on your toes there. The reason I think we should wait is because there's going to be a press release next week from the TOA folks revealing the name... although the word on the grapevine is that they're going to resurrect the North American Soccer League name and be a new NASL! If I might make a suggestion: keep a copy of the code in your sandbox, and then when TOA make the formal announcement next week we can just tweak your original code as appropriate, create a new article with the proper name, and add a re-direct to the page you just created. That way we're not losing your excellent work, but also not jumping the gun! --JonBroxton (talk) 04:40, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

BARNSTAR!

		A million thanks for starting an entry for the new North American Soccer League. As a diehard Crystal Palace Baltimore fan, it's always great to know other contributors who love The Beautiful Game. Keep up the outstanding work. The Ink Daddy! (talk) 21:15, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

NASL

Why should I see Major Indoor Soccer League, Boston Breakers, and Seattle Sounders? They have nothing to do with North American Soccer League (2010)? I suggest you look at [[WP:D]. Please undo your own edit until you understand how it's supposed to work instead of how others use it. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:47, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

2009 WPS Allstars

Hello, I came from Japanese Wikipedia. I am planning to add the information about the starting members of WPS All-Stars in the Japanese article of WPS All-Star 2009.

It seems to me that the order of the players is: (upper, from left) Ellertson, Formiga, Lilly, LeBlanc, Chalupny, Rapinoe (lower, from left) Marta, Boxx, LePeilbet, Miyama, Rampone.

Is it correct? If there are mistakes, please point out. --Ohtani tanya (talk) 02:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your massage. I cannot distinguish Rapinoe and LePeilbet, but the order I wrote could be write if you say so. I'll leave the same question in the talk page of English article in case the order have some mistakes. Thank you again and best regards. --Ohtani tanya (talk) 10:10, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Interested in tackling the Boston Breakers page?

Similar to the Chicago Red Stars, the Boston Breakers (WPSL Elite) needs help! :) I would like to rename/move the page to Boston Breakers (dropping the WPSL Elite). I noticed that your username appears on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MovePage/Boston_Breakers, so wanted to see what you thought. We could build the Boston Breakers page to be one page for WPS, WPSL Elite, and NWSL as it is for the Chicago Red Stars and Sky Blue FC. I would like to begin work on cleaning up those team pages over the next couple months. Any thoughts?

The Breakers are definitely an interesting case, especially with the old American Football team involved in the disambiguation.... I agree the (WPSL Elite) needs to be dropped from the current team's title, but otherwise I don't think anything needs to be changed on that page? (Aside from any future content additions from NWSL, of course.) CyMoahk (talk) 00:06, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I take back the "no change" statement - the silly "Future" section needs to be better incorporated. ^.^' CyMoahk (talk) 00:08, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chicago Eclipse Select, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Oak Brook and Alex Scott (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
