Flags in football players' infoboxes

Flags in football players' infoboxes Please stop adding flag icons to football players' infoboxes. This is against consensus, see WP:MOSICON#Use_of_flags_for_sportspeople. --Jaellee (talk) 22:14, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

No, it isn't. This has been discussed over and over again at WT:FOOTY, see for example here or look at the whole search results. Please discuss this at WT:FOOTY if you feel you have to before adding flags again. Thanks --Jaellee (talk) 22:46, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

And I forgot: Using flags besides club names is discouraged by MOS:FLAG, see MOS:FLAG#Accompany flags with country names. --Jaellee (talk) 22:52, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Re:2010 RPL player statistics

Hello. :-) As I can see that you are a new editor (at least under registered terms), I'll try to explain my changes.

The reason why the two sections are usually presented separately is that in most cases a good scorer is not a good assistant and vice versa. If all the information would be included in a single table, there would be one large table with easily twenty, if not thirty entries, and thus a little hard to be read and understood instantly (see also WP:KISS). Since Wikipedia is also not intended to be an indiscriminate stats collection, the split into two sections has definitely to be preferred here. This is also the consensus for all league season articles.

Regarding the layout, it is pretty irrelevant if goalscorers et al are formatted as a list or as a table. I personally prefer a list as these are easier to edit than a table, plus the information displayed is very simple in nature. The format is also used by the Fußball-Bundesliga and Serie A season articles. The Premier League and La Liga articles, on the other hand, use a simple non-sortable wikitable which provides a slightly cleaner format, but is harder to edit, especially for unexperienced users. If you prefer these, no problem.

In any case, consensus is that only the best ten goalscorers/assistants should be displayed in these tables. Players level with the tenth-best scorer/assistant may be included as well, but only if there are not too many of them. For example it would be completely nuts to include all twenty players who currently have two assists.

If you have further questions about the formatting of league articles, try to read through the very first section of the season article task force talk page (there are quite a few best practices mentioned) or ask one of the more experienced editors if unsure. In any case, welcome to Wikipedia, and enjoy your time here! :-) --Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 19:55, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Transfers

Hello! I appreciate your work there, but may I ask you to delay adding info about a transfer before the deal is done and announced officially. This is the case with Bukharov, let's wait, nothing is signed at the moment. Cheers, Barocci (talk) 11:07, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Do not revert my edits without cause

The overwhelming opinion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Baseball#Infobox_statistics that we only include triple crown stats, unless there is a good reason to include other stats, based on the player. Telling readers that Pedro Alvarez (baseball) has zero stolen bases is useless. --Muboshgu (talk) 16:21, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the sentiment expressed there that there is no such overwhelming opinion. And that's without Laser even having added his view. Which I invite him to do -- given his interest in the subject, and the fact that it is not reflected there, here.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:15, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
