Redirect / Flagicon

Hi. Your edits such as this one are considered disruptive by a number of users. Changing a link from Everton F.C. to Everton FC is pointless when the article is located at Everton F.C. - anything else requires a redirect. Also, the issue of whether or not to use national flags in infoboxes is unresolved, but for certain readers, their use can mean that the clubs column becomes taller than the apps and years columns.  Sʟυмgυм • т • c  20:25, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Flag icons are bad in infoboxes

Flag icons can be formatted to work in Mozilla, or Internet Explorer, but not both at the same time. I suggest you take any grievances to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football, but first have a read through the talk archives - we have discussed this a few times before. Cheers, aLii 22:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I think Alii has already explained the issue. Plus, as Kevin McE told you, it is not for anyone to try to dictate what browser we all use. Regards. —Lesfer ^(t/c/@) 22:48, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Here's some examples that show the problem; example1 and example2. example1 doesn't work in Firefox and example2 doesn't work in IE. Some further information about infobox formatting can be found at Template talk:Infobox Football biography. aLii 22:59, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, can I ask you where did you get this info from? (It could be useful for future plans; the original numbers were taken from official website, by the way) Also, can you help me fill the rest of the statistics? Thanks in advance, HaGamal 22:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Assistance with Catalan language sources

Hi. I am not that familiar with Catalan language newspapers and my reading comprehension is less not as good as it is with Spanish. Could you please assist me in identifying sources for Oriol Sellarès Martínez in Catalan newspapers and magazines? --LauraHale (talk) 17:25, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Catalan culture challenge

I've seen on your userpage that you speak Catalan: From March 16 to April 15 we will be organising the Catalan Culture Challenge, a Wikipedia editing contest in which victory will go to those who start and improve the greatest number of articles about 50 key figures of Catalan culture. You can take part by creating or expanding articles on these people in your native language (or any other one you speak). I've seen you edit about sports, there are some people on the list that where sports people, like Ramallets. We look forward to seeing you!

Andreu Fontàs - Reply

Hi there ZIGURAT, AL from Portugal here,

yes, indeed it seems bizarre, but i have heard that players like him or Oier Olazábal received medals for that edition of the Champions League without playing a minute, like Gabriel Milito who was out injured. However, i have no reliable source for this, it was a fellow user "specialized" in FC Barcelona who told me this, and since neither him or me are reliable sources that we know of, we must remove this you are 100% correct.

Sorry if my summary seemed exaggerated, i have already removed the contents in honours. Happy editing (i am leaving forever at the end of the week after eight years, but feel free to ask me anytime during that timeframe). --AL (talk) 13:40, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

• Tambien me cae muy bien el Barcelona, pero creo que Luis Enrique está más por la labor de contratar extranjeros, con los resultados increíbles que ha dado la cantera (cierto que Xavi ya se ha acabado), el único equipo del que yo sería capaz de ser seguidor sin "barreras" es el Athletic Bilbao (ni siquiera en Portugal soy aficionado de ningun club, ni siquiera de la selección, otro club ni más ni menos), los demás solo gastar, gastar y gastar, cada cual dentro de sus posibilidades pero lo mismo (algunas excepciones en tu país, como UD Las Palmas por poner un ejemplo), y así en España, Portugal, Inglaterra, Italia y el resto. Pero bueno, mientras no gane el club del engreído, por mi contento. Y si, soy portugués, pero no tonto.

Fijate el nivel de basura del periodismo televisivo de mi país: hoy ha muerto Alfredo Di Stéfano - en paz descanse el señor, se le veía ya muy de vuelta de todo - a la cadena SIC no se le ha ocurrido otra cosa que decir "Muchos futbolistas han mostrado su pesar por lo sucedido, entre los cuales..." pues eso. Aprovechan la MUERTE de una persona para hablar del hombre del que hablan más todos los días por encima de cualquier topico u persona (puedo dar fe de ello, es verdad), para que quede como qué? El que mas ha llorado la muerte de Di Stéfano, o el único que lo ha sentido?! Y en este caso, Ronaldo no tiene culpa ninguna, la culpa es de los "periodistas", pura basura.

Un abrazo, a tu disposición hasta el día 13 de Julio, moltes gracies --AL (talk) 22:01, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

• Aquí AL, mi cuenta ha desaparecido a mi petición después de un desentendimiento con un gamberro importante. Pero no consigo dejar de editar apesar de que quedé muy "tocado" (un hijo de su grandísima madre aficionado del S.L. Benfica que quería escribir todo lo que le daba la gana, insultos incluidos, en las páginas de jugadores, clubes y dirigentes, después de que su equipo perdiera la 2014 UEFA Europa League Final) y quise dejarlo, a lo mejor estoy enganchado :(

Bueno, cosas técnicas ahora: porqué estas cambiando la categoría SPORTSPEOPLE FROM BARCELONA para FOOTBALLERS FROM BARCELONA? Lá última se parece sospechosamente con una ya existente, CATALAN FOOTBALLERS.

Qué te parece? Un saludo, buen fin de semana --84.90.219.128 (talk) 13:34, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

• Además, no cambies por favor el "defaultsort" (en ciertos casos claro, como el de Nakor Bueno Gómez, el es conocido como NAKOR, no BUENO). Gracias --84.90.219.128 (talk) 13:38, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Respecto a tu razonamiento de las categorías, OK lo comprendo ahora. Respondiendo a tu pregunta al final, la política nacional, regional u mundial me trae sin cuidado, juegos de niños que ya no son tan niños... --84.90.219.128 (talk) 21:56, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Iniesta's Goals

On the official website of the Spanish national team, he appears with 12 goals (1). Also see this articles: List of Spain international footballers and es:Anexo:Futbolistas de la selección de fútbol de España SoulGooner (talk) 19:43, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

• Estoy de acuerdo con lo que comentas en mi página de discusión, en principio ese gol era de Xavi pero en la federación española se lo adjudican a Iniesta y en la wiki en español basandose en eso se lo suman a Iniesta, por lo que decidí que era mejor que en ambas wikis (Español) y (English) apareciese el mismo número para que no fuese diferente. por mi parte no hay ningún problema en tomar como referencia estadísticas UEFA o RFEF, pero debería existir el mismo criterio para todos.

Partick / Glasgow

Technically Partick is correct, since it was not incorporated into Glasgow until about 1910 (nearly 40 years after the match). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 09:25, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Claudio Bravo (footballer), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Salutacions!

Hey there, glad to see you support Barça instead of Espanyol :D and my opinion on Mourinho's work at United is a positive one, as a manager he is really experienced and he should know how to reign in England with the talent United has, unlike LVG who was also a wise coach but mostly focused on youth talents such as Rashford, Tuanzebe, Borthwick-Jackson, Januzaj, Fosu-Mensah and Goss who couldn't really get the right results at some times.

List of foreign La Liga players

Hi Zigurat, It's me again. I have come up with a new idea to remodel the aforementioned article, I have noticed the list of players looks kinda messy and I would like to fix that by adding a table and a flag icon to the club's autonomous community, sort of like this:

Player	Club(s)	Year
Manucho	Valladolid	2009–2010
	Rayo Vallecano	2012–2016
Quinzinho	Rayo Vallecano	1999–2000

In case of a note, I would locate it next to the player's name. If you approve, disapprove or want to slightly change my idea, please let me know at my talk page, Best of wishes. TheSoccerBoy (talk) 03:30, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Barcelona youth players

Hello. Sorry I undid your last addition to Jon Toral with the comment "no such category". At the time you added it, there was no such category, but I see you've created it since. It has for a long time been the case that youth players are included in the main club category and we don't have separate categories for youth players. I've raised the general question of separate youth player categories at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#Youth player club categories, to see if that's still a consensus view. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:21, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
