Professional leagues in England
At this AfD [1] you stated that Aldershot Town F.C. football team is or was semi-pro. The main article for this team says it is professional in the lede section, see: Aldershot Town F.C.. This is confusing.
However, I am trying to understand what constitutes a professional league in England. It seems they are everywhere in that country - see:English Football League. Is it possible for you to explain what constitutes an English professional team that would merit notability on Wikipedia? Is notability mostly based on independent coverage in reliable sources? If this is more than you have time for then no problem. Steve Quinn (talk) 04:37, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Steve Quinn: Consensus is that a fully professiona league is one where the players are compensated enough that they do not need supplemental income, and that season articles are only appropriate for teams in those leagues. Team articles are appropriate for leagues at lower levels, and important statistics can be included in the team articles.
- I'm actually out of town, so feel free to ask any additional questions at WT:FOOTY. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 16:32, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Jkudlick: This helps clear things up - I'll be looking around to see what else I can discover. Thanks for pointing me to WT:FOOTY, this is very helpful. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:45, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF)
Hi. About your revert based on consistency, how about if I do two columns for own goals at all articles related to the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification?. Thanks in advance. The Replicator (talk) 17:09, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
- @The Replicator: There are three columns for goal scorers in all the articles. To have two columns for own goals makes no sense as it introduces inconsistent formatting into the article. Right now the consensus at WP:FOOTY is to have three columns for goal scorers, including own goals. If I hadn't made the change, someone else would have. You are free to introduce your idea at WT:FOOTY if you wish. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 17:18, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Nonsense warning
If you do not have the courtesy to start a discussion, templating me for vandalism is certainly out of the question. The Banner talk 17:40, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
substituting Template:nfa
Can you help me with your recent edits to 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC Third Round. Is there something wrong with using the Template:nfa that it needs reverting to original text ? Isnt that the whole point of a template to make things easier and more efficient ? Matilda Maniac (talk) 23:37, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Matilda Maniac: The text of the template documentation had read "This template is intended to be substituted," akin to {{nft}} and {{nwft}}. I altered the documentation to include {{subst only}} to make it more clear that the intent is for it to be substituted. It is true that the intent of a template is to make repetitive tasks simpler, as it is far easier to type
{{subst:nfa|USA}}than it is to type[[United States Soccer Federation|United States]]. All I did in the article was to addsubst:to the template calls as directed in the template documentation. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 10:24, 17 September 2016 (UTC)- my apologies. I hadnt realised that using subst causes the wikitext saved as a result of the edit to differ from the text which the user actually entered in the edit window. It just appeared to me that you were typing in the longhand version. I will still use nfa|AUS or equivalent for (Australia) in football boxes - as its easier for me - knowing that at some point these can all get substituted by an editor or a bot at a later time. Cheers. Matilda Maniac (talk) 03:34, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Should the women's football task force become WikiProject: WOSO? |
 According to an op-ed in the recent Signpost, some editors think task forces and subgroups are dying in 2017. What do you think about forming our own WikiProject separate from WP:FOOTY? There's an on-going discussion of the potential pros and cons on the task force talk page. Input is welcome. |
New initiatives have been created for:
While WP:FPL lists only two women's top-division leagues as notable due to its "fully professional" criteria, did you know you can create an article on any player in any league as long as the references meet WP:GNG guidelines? Make sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}. Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page if you'd like and other editors may be able to help. Need tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? Leave a message on the task force talk page. |

Nwft template
Hi!
Your edit to the Nwft template and maybe others has broken several articles because that template was often used without the subst: and with the 3-letter code instead of the full country name. Granted, those occurences should have used subst:, but some articles didn't (such as Belgium women's national football team), and AnomieBOT has afterwards subst'ed these but only after your edit to the template, which has resulted in the bot creating constructs such as MEX.
Why did you so drastistically simplify the Nwft template? It makes it less consistent with related templates such as Template:Nfa. The point of these templates is to speed up typing anyway (as established in this discussion), e.g. CZE is quicker (and safer) to type than Czech Republic. So I'm curious what was wrong with the previous code, as your edit only commented "updating code". Sygmoral (talk) 16:31, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello WOSO editors! A few initiatives have been started with an emphasis on making more WOSO links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles. If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, take a look at the initiatives listed in the box below. Sign up at the bottom of an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles ... or create your own initiative.
WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in 1 active women's league)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. For more information, see WP:WOSO#Notability and be sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}

SVG question
First of all I would like to thank you for creating SVG ribbons for the administrative service awards. I would also like to ask how you created the ribbons. - ZLEA T\C 23:19, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
Question regarding your work on the service awards
Hi, quick question for you... when you were creating the new ribbons for all the service awards, how were you doing it? I am getting ready to update a number of military awards, including fixing their ribbons. Right now I'm looking at doing it in photoshop, but I recall once seeing a tool online for quickly creating ribbons. just curious if you had any insight since your ribbons are excellent looking. thanks! Will (talk) 02:23, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Wegates: Thanks for the compliment! I actually just use a text editor, like Notepad, to edit the SVG code and view the results in a web browser. I experiment with colors using MSPaint and get the RGB values from the color select menu. A lot of it is trial and error trying to get the colors right or the shapes in just the right places. Getting the stars right was the trickiest part since I needed to use trigonometry to figure out where the star points needed to be. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 04:39, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
- I never thought of doing them with direct svg code! that makes total sense. I'm not too worried about doing things like stars and weird shapes for what I'm working on, as I'm doing US military ribbons and they are all vertical stripes. Thanks for the help! Will (talk) 11:14, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!
