Re:2026 FIFA World Cup

Thanks a lot for the link to the source for the 2026 China stuff. Having read it, it does not change my opinion of the 2026 article. The FIFA vice-president mentioned is clearly talking in a hypothetical; he will probably not even be in FIFA when the decision is made. Accordingly, I have decided not to remove the PROD notice; if you wish to, that is your right and I will take it to AfD instead. With regards to 2022, I am deciding whether or not to keep it; for the moment, I will not PROD it, but if 2026 gets deleted easily I might nominate it.

Christian Vandevelde

According to his Team CSC profile, the correct form is Christian Vande Velde. It is the most autoritative source I have found.--Per Abrahamsen 20:21, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I must admit that I have not found the exact correct spelling myself. Three things make me conclude the spelling is probably without the space:

Most official sites mention his name without a space, as for instance letour.fr
Google, which automatically searches for errors in queries, always ends up saying: Did you mean: Christian Vandevelde? when I type Vande Velde. This means that Christian Vandevelde is far more used than Christian Vande Velde on the internet.
Last but not least, Vandevelde comes undoubtedly from Dutch, if he was Dutch or Flemish, the spelling of his name would be Vandevelde or Van De Velde. Both meaning 'From the fields'. Vande Velde is however an unexistent name as Vande is not a word in Dutch and to put the space there is unnatural.

But all in all, I have no watertight proof that one or the other writing is the correct one. --Pelotas^talk 20:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be "van de Velde" in Dutch (small caps), I don't see that as an argument that the name is has been Americanized one way or the other. If you quote the name, Google has 60k for "Christian Vande velde" and 100k for "Christian Vandevelde", not exactly decisive. So with regard to the last point, authoritative sources, I'd put his employer at the top of the list of those I have seen. They write his paycheck :-) --Per Abrahamsen 13:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, but also no certainty there, the one 'writing' the paycheck is most of the times not the webmaster and typing errors in foreign names are easily made. For now, I can only say that also the German and Dutch wiki use Vandevelde, not Vande Velde. I'll keep searching for sources. --Pelotas^talk 13:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mmm... thanks...

...for the cupcakes! Never feel like you have angered anyone by disagreeing with the rest of the people on an AfD. And even if someone was mad, who cares? It's an AfD, not a life-or-death situation -- no one will die because 2022 FIFA World Cup will get deleted, despite a few people objecting. I was really suprised to find the cupcakes on my user page, but thanks anyway! Keep up the good work, and continue to speak up for what you believe in.

good work on belgian football. Keep it up, Julien Tuerlinckx 12:19, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

bribing scandal

Hi, I've just read a bit of the article which seems nice at first sight though if i would have a comment it would be that the article seems to go to deep in the details. Actually I'm not quite sure this topic deserves a full article. Maybe including it into a broader "Bribery in Belgian football" could be an idea. It's been a long time i wanted to write stuff about "what's wrong in Belgian football" (bribery, the weak FA which takes suspicious and weak decisions, the lack of money and modern infrastructures, etc) but right now i think making an article on bribery in belgian football is a good compromise. I'll try to help you on that in the future if you think it's a good idea. Julien Tuerlinckx 22:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was originally just thinking of translating (from the Dutch wikipedia) the final paragraph I haven't done yet and that was it. I have not thought of the 'deepness' of the article or the fact if the topic deserves a full article, but maybe you're right. However, I don't really know a lot about other facets of gambling and bribing in belgian soccer. --Pelotas^talk 23:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Cool Cat/In many languages...

Thank you for the Dutch literal translation --Cat out 00:44, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No Problem, I'm not sure if it is entirely right though, the translation I made from Dutch back to English is correct, but I'm not sure about the original English to Dutch. "Cool" does not in any way resemble "Tight". --Pelotas^talk 12:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help editing pages, please

Hi

I am Oliviu. Can you please tell me how can I "close" my page (User: Oliviu), so that nobody can edit it but me, just like it's yours? Or at least I would like this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Oliviu&action=edit) to be replaced by this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Oliviu) when someone clicks on it.

Thanks.

Regards Oliviu Hirjan

You can ask for protection of a page but I believe a request for that will probably not be given. Don't worry about other people editing your page, you can always go back through the history to your own version, check out "How to revert a page to an earlier version". Mine is not protected in any way, everyone can edit it.--Pelotas^talk 14:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pelotas, Welcome, but how come that you are working on the lux Wiki? -- Myriam

Well, I'm not planning on editing much on the lux wiki but I will probably have to add some links to pages in other languages which is why I created an account. Although I know French, German and Dutch, I dont speak the luxembourgish languagemix so probably I will not be creating and major pages soon. --Pelotas^talk 23:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well thanks! I do have some problems, I'll mention them on your talkpage there. --Pelotas^talk 09:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we have many problems with the vandalism of the America pages and the Peru/Chile pages for some reason. This is why they are protected. But they should only be semi-protected, that is protected to unregistered users, or new users. You should be able to edit it within a day or two. As far as links go, if you see any other wiki, please change the link to Civitates Foederatae Americae, as this is the proper latin name for the US. Anything else?--Ioshus 17:40, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Icons

Second yellow - see {{yel}}.
Penalty goal - adding (pen) is standard on most sports websites - the goal is counted as a normal goal, so the icon need not be differnt.
Missed penalty - these are not included in most match summaries.

As for the alternating grey layout - iut is only your opinion that it looks crappy now, but it is not set to white - it is set to transparent. We shouldn't hard-code background colours outisde of the stylesheet. ed g2s • talk 12:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC) ed g2s • talk 12:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

True if you are viewing the article on the Wikipedia website using the default skin. If someone else runs a mirror with a different background - or you customise your skin to use a different background, then there is a big difference between white and transparent. ed g2s • talk 12:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I can agree that it is just my opinion, but still between white and transparent is not much difference is there? ;) Thanks for the icons, too bad about the missed penalties. :s --Pelotas^talk 14:37, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted images cannot be used deocratively, see WP:FUC. Team logos need only be used on an article about the club. We try to keep Fair Use to a minimum. ed g2s • talk 13:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Because this is the English Wikipedia. ed g2s • talk 10:42, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, calm down.. I thought you were talking about this edit. The capitalisation of "results" is simply wrong. The hyphen is open to debate but article titles tend not to use them. "(... August 2006)" or "August 2006 ..." are much more common ways of date grouping (see here for examples). ed g2s • talk 12:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Pelotas, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

Belgian names

Thanks for your info. Honestly I do not know for sure if Belgian names always capitalize "Van" or "De". It just appears to me that they are almost always capitalized from the Belgian names I see. I know that it's different from the Dutch, which always use lowercase "van" and "de". As for why I left the comment, this is in response to the previous edits of Stephan Van Der Heyden and Jelle Van Damme. The editors moved the pages from capital to lowercase letters, and left the comments Interjectives should be written without capitals and 'van' in between names needs to be written small, which are certainly incorrect for Belgian names. I guess the editors confused them with Dutch names. As I'm also not 100% correct, I apologize. But it's much more likely that the capitalized "Van" are used in the two names, so I moved them back to its original pages. If there are evidence that the two people use lowercase "van", sure we should move them back. But there aren't, unless we get to see their identity cards, as you suggest. Chanheigeorge 00:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologise, at least you care! And indeed it is hard to be sure, one can only hope that the names are correctly spelled in the media and work from there, in this case I can say that I don't really know about Van Der Heyden, but Van Damme is commonly spelled with capital letters as part of Anderlecht and the Red Devils. --P e lotas^talk 09:03, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!

Hi

Hi Pelotas,

Please don't take my user page seriously. I don't really care about those things that much, but I find it a lot better to argue about silly things like soccer and the metric systems than war or terrorism or abortion or other things that people get really upset about. If it offends you, I'll take it down. But since you're a Simpsons fan: Can you tell me where I got the title: "These things I believe?" -- Mwalcoff 00:08, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nono, leave it, doesn't offend me I just found it quite harsh/bold overall. I totally agree that all in all these are just silly things. About the simpsons thinghy, it's when Homer has the right answer to a radio show question. Is it not the title of a Rory Calhoun (?) album? --P e lotas^talk 00:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Belgian League Results

Hi Pelotas. I see you're an ardent supporter of Belgian football and have put a fair bit of work on the league here. Just to say that we are using a different template for Serie A results if you want to have a look at it. The 16 team version is being used for Portugese league.

Here's a blank 18 team version of the template

}}

Just to say aswell, that we have it setup on the Serie A page so that if you click on a result in the table you get taken directly to result on the detailed results page. Handy for picking out one result in particular instead of trawling through pages and pages. Niall123 18:27, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I've noticed it already, but I believe that the table can be too wide for the people with smaller screens. I would like to see each teamname in the top bar shortened to three letters max. But good work nonetheless, making the results clickable however is a very good idea. I've already copied the idea of a clickable number of goals per team in the standings table. --P e lotas^talk 21:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing that you're using Firefox. If you look at the table using IE, the names of the clubs along the top are shown as vertical. I've had this discussion already with another person. Here's a screen shot as how it looks on my screen using IE. Screen Shot. Hopefully they'll sort out firefox to fix this. Niall123 21:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Albanians and Kosovo

My own beliefs on Kosovo and Albania really have very little to do with what I am doing. I am stub sorting. Because of the Albanian nationality law, any ethnic Albanian from any country can be a citizen of the Republic of Albania. However, it is clear from his birth that he is a Kosovar Albanian. The Albania-bio-stub is for people from the Republic of Albania, not any ethnic Albanian person.--Thomas.macmillan 18:19, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Albanian bio stub is for Albanian or Albanian Related football, which this clearly is. Since he is an Albanian Citizen, he should be in the "Albanian footballers" catergory too then. --P e lotas^talk 19:12, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Jackson_Stewart.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Jackson_Stewart.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 22:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Jupiler League.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jupiler League.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Age tag for the the fb in, fb si and fb out templates

I'm not sure what you mean by extra tag, but in the bottom of the squad information and players in / out tables there are explanation about the age: end of the season for squad information and signing day for players in / out. So, for example, if you take a look at Arsenal_F.C._season_2007-08#In code, you'll see something like this age={{age|1985|4|18|2007|5|25}}. I hope that's a solution. If you have a better solution, please lets discuss it. Regards. --ClaudioMB (talk) 16:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If we could specify a date for all players just once, that would be great for Squad information table (for player in / out is better use the day of the signing). I don't know how to do it, if you know it, please, could you do it for Arsenal_F.C._season_2007-08#Squad_information. I guess the date should be the date of last match of the season (11 May 2008). --ClaudioMB (talk) 14:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edit marking

Hi - maybe you don't realise you need to change your preferences ... Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Regards --Matilda ^talk 01:28, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

okidoki... i just have a different idea of minor. I've always used it except when I added at least 5 lines of meaningful text. --Pelotas^talk 03:20, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User page help

Dear Pelotas...I see that you have requested help in getting your user page in order and am willing to help you. My suggestions will not be full of a lot of flashy formatting. In my opinion, the less a user page looks like a Wikipedia page, the harder it is to read and navigate. You can go to my user page to see how an infobox can handle most of the routine information which you can expand upon if you so desire in the body of your user page.

To keep this conversation all in one place, you can respond on your talk page here. However, I ask that you put {{Talkback|Pelotas|User page help}} on my talk page to alert me to your response. Either way, I would like to hear back from you.

Have a nice day! - LA @ 02:21, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that's nice, but Fi nns already offered to renew my page here. However, that was in April/May 2008 and I haven't heard from him/her since. :s About your ideas, I like having a user page which does not look like a traditional wikipedia article at all, just to show the difference. Your page does look nice though, maybe if I write more about myself I could make it look better too. But I would at first thought choose a user page like this or this. --Pelotas^talk 17:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pelotas, I am adamantly against such pages. To me they are an eyesore. I prefer going with the K.I.S.S. principle when designing a user page. Many of the flashy user pages have so many redundancies that they become insulting. I know where the links to the user's talk page, contributions, and e-mail are. (Talk page link on top, the latter two in the toolbox.) You are invited to check out this template to help get you started. I wish you the best of luck, but I will not design such pages.

Re: Belgian First Division 2008-09 results table

I made the change because of the following reasons:

Better access to a certain result, in correspondance to the unwritten "create easy access to every fact" rule
Alphabetical sorting is broad consensus in almost all UEFA season articles for this season, especially in the top leagues

However, it would be okay if the edit would be reverted, provided that there is consensus (either already reached or to be built in the future) on sorting the results by last year's position. Hockey-holic (talk) 15:51, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality of Oleg Iachtchouk

Listen, the thing is that Oleh, I suspect, was not fully aware of citizenship laws of Ukraine and I think that people who let him to obtain a dual-citizenship was under-quilified as they failed to warn him about this issue. In Ukraine recently a newly naturalized Serbian Marco Devic had to give up his previous citizenship in order to play for Ukraine. It's a big issue as one needs to think not twice, but make a final decision whether it is worth to give up one's citizenship for the other country's. Him thinking that he has a dual citizenship would that truly be correct? His dual citizenship does not hold any ground as it is not recognized by his native country. Putting a Ukrainian flag only adds a confusion to that issue. Yes, he is truly a native Ukrainian and his last name can not get any more Ukrainian. However, he is a naturalized Belgian citizen and at his age there is no really a reason for him to change it back. Therefore consider him as Ukrainian somewhat discrimatory as by law he is an accepted Belgian citizen. On personal note, I feel bad that he was not given a single chance to play on the international level as he truly desrves it. And, in my opinion, Ukraine national really needs such players. Pelotas, do not take my message personally as I try to make a point. Yaschuk could easily play for Belgian national, but he is being a stuborn jackass. In his situation that would be the way show his skills. But if he prefers his pricipals over his career or a chance to make a national team then it's his personal issue.

Source for goalscorers (Jupiler League 2008-09) needed

Hi Pelotas,

first of all, thanks a lot for your work on Belgian First Division 2008–09, especially with all those goalscorers. However, there is a minor issue existing. Is there a reliable source for the complete list? I'm asking this because there has been some trouble lately over at the Serbian Superliga 2008–09 article. A couple of anon editors were edit warring about details in a list similar to the one on the Belgian article, but with one fundemental difference - there exists no source at all. As a result, the number of goals in the table (307) is not in tune with the number of goals credited for all scorers (304), so I had to issue a warning on the talk page about WP:V and its consequences. All of this would certainly not have happened if there had been a reliable source.

So, in order to prevent those... I don't know how to call them... from arguing "But there is also a unsourced list of scorers on the Belgian article, yet it goes unsanctioned" - could you please add a source to your list? Ideally, it should be something similar to this (German Bundesliga) from either the Belgian association or another reliable source.

Once again, keep up the good work! Cheers, Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 20:33, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Although I'll be honest, I just added the three most used sites by myself when I want to look up any information about the league, instead of veryfying the wikipedia content with those three sites. I do not use them to update the goal scorer list, because if you investigate those closely, then different sites will always give different results. So how do I know it is right? Well, I have a huge excel sheet in which I add each and every goal scorer in each match played. Once you have the list it's no so much work to update it every week, I even have more trouble with keeping the length of the columns the same ;) --Pelotas^talk 20:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks! By the way, it doesn't matter how it's done as long as the sources are good to go... :-) --Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 21:24, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion welcomed

Soccer-holic and I are trying to improve league articles in general, especially when talking about colors used in league standings. We are thinking that codes (colors) should be unified and used in the same way in all articles. So take a look at this Soccer-holic's subpage: User:Soccer-holic/League season article, which explains parts which every league articles should consist of, as well as using the colors in the right order and code. Please leave your comments and improvements (if needed) so we can take the final proposal to the community on Wikipedia:WikiProject Football. SonjiCeli (talk) 15:18, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can see where this unified color scheme would be useful indeed, maybe we should make a standard template which explains the colors, as they did for formula 1 here (It is added as a key for instance here). Also, in the standings by round we should create unified templates there also, as for instance the color scheme for the Spainish league (here) is completely different from the standard one here and the colours should probably be linked to the ones chosen before... --Pelotas^talk 15:38, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

World Cup qualification template

There was no reason to revert my edit, especially as it was correct. Kostja (talk) 18:05, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have not looked at it again, but I'm quite sure it was wrong or at least incomplete. It is mentioned clearly that the results of the last team are not counted in this ranking.

Re: 2009-10 Belgian Division

Sorry, my bad. I simply overlooked the update date.

New footballer articles

Hello. I've noticed that you are creating new articles about living persons but are not including references. While I appreciate your efforts to improve Wikipedia's coverage of football, articles need to have references so the information can be verified and to establish the notability of the subject of the article. I expect that you are using some type of reference (such as www.vi.nl, www.playerhistory or guardian.touch-line.com) to create the article, so please just add it. You can check how I did it on the Denis Odoi article, or feel free to ask me questions if you need help. Best regards. Jogurney (talk) 13:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Former World Cup matches

Hello. My name is Edson Ortolan (from Brazil). Another day I suggested to add in some place (new article or new entry in another page) the former matches between the teams of the Fifa World Cup 10. I listed all plays until Group D. The reference is the Wikipedia. I don't know how the Wikipedia works to these contribuitions. I didn't know about signature, address and other things. Example: must I let my email in the message ? Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.0.123.234 (talk) 15:17, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Edson, I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but in theory you could just ask what you want on each page. If it's correct meaningful information, somewhat structured and in theory following the wikipedia guidelines, then you cannot do anything wrong. If you do, someone will correct it anyway. In this case, you could for instance add the info on pages 2010 FIFA World Cup Group A through 2010 FIFA World Cup Group H, as a section at the top, or for each match individually within the article. Anyone can edit wikipedia, that's the basic idea! :) So you do not need do put your address or email anywhere. If you create a (free) account however, then you avoid problems with blocked pages (Sometimes this happens because many unregistered users try to ruin pages). Now whether you create an account or not, when posting on talk pages, you should sign your comment by putting ~~~~, this automatically changes into your ip address (or nickname) and adds the time of posting. If you have more questions, feel free to ask! Pelotas^talk 16:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I understand. I was curious for search the results between the teams of the 2010 World Cup, because Brazil played against Portugal in 1966 World Cup (Portugal 3 X 1 Brazil) in Round 1 and I rememberd that Portugal beat Korea DPR (5 X 3) in Quarters. So I found all results of the other plays and I wrote one list with them. My question is: is there the possibility to put it in any place (new article, new topic)? Do you want to see the list ? Thanks.201.0.123.234 (talk) 17:39, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I like the idea, but it's too much detail to put it on the main article page. So maybe you should add the information at the individual match paragraphs, so at 2010 FIFA World Cup Group G#Portugal v Korea DPR for instance for the 5-3 result of 1966.

Probably too much side information without sticking to the core of the article. You can ask on the discussion page and maybe it can be put back on.

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:00, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2010-11 BFD Positions by round

Since the new season of Belgian First Division introduces new relegation play-off, I wanted to ask you if you could modify the Round-by-round template(s) so the table can display a lighter shade of red for both 15th and 16th place. I would do it myself but I really don't know how. Also, while making these changes (assuming they're possible, of course), it would be great to somehow make a difference between this season's and the previous season's templates so that the 2009-10 RbR table could still keep the darker shade for the 16th position.

Finnish League and Cup articles

Hi Pelotas. I am making contact with those Editors that take an active interest in Finnish football on English Wikipedia.

For a long time I have been happy to work on Finnish football on Wikipedia without making contact with other Finnish football enthusiasts - basically I like preparing articles / undertaking tasks that interest me and contact with others has not been important. However recently some of my work was changed by a Wikipedia Reviewer and this has led me to question what approach I should be following and indeed what approach would other Finnish football enthusiasts wish to adopt?

The current issue I face is the naming of Finnish Football League and Cup pages. I have adopted the approach that we should always be using the Finnish name in the title, for example 2007 Ykkönen and 2001 Veikkausliiga. However, I am aware that words like Mestaruussarja mean very little to most English speaking Wikipedia users. I therefore have included the English name in the title as well in recent pages, for example, 1936 Mestaruussarja – Finnish League Championship, 1938 Suomensarja – Finnish League Division 2 and 2000 Kakkonen – Finnish League Division 2. I thought that this approach might be a suitable naming convention until the Reviewer changed "2012 Suomen Cup - Finnish Cup" back to 2012 Finnish Cup.

The basic question I am asking is whether Finnish League and Cup articles should have a Finnish or English title or some form of hybrid?

I provide examples below:

Finnish Title	English Title	Hybrid Title
2012 Veikkausliiga	2012 Finnish Championship	2012 Finnish Veikkausliiga
2012 Kolmonen	2012 Finnish Division 3	2012 Finnish Kolmonen
2012 Suomen Cup	2012 Finnish Cup	2012 Finnish Suomen Cup
2012 Suomen Liigacup	2012 Finnish League Cup	2012 Finnish Liigacup
1938 Maakuntasarja	1938 Finnish Division 3	1938 Finnish Maakuntasarja
1954 Suomensarja	1954 Finnish Division 2	1954 Finnish Suomensarja
1970 II divisioona	1970 Finnish Division 2	1970 Finnish II divisioona
1986 III divisioona	1986 Finnish Division 3	1986 Finnish III divisioona
1997 Ykkönen	1997 Finnish Division 1	1997 Finnish Ykkönen

I have read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) and Wikipedia:Article titles but have not reached a firm conclusion yet on the best way forward in establishing a consistent approach. The issue does matter with respect to the corrections I must make to existing pages and the tens of pages yet to be prepared. It could also carry implications for some of the articles that you currently contribute to.

I think that the matter would best be addressed on a proper basis and encourage that the issue is considered on the Talk Page of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Finland task force. If the matter is of concern to you as well, please add your name to the list of participants on the main page.

You may also wish to comment on the project structure that I have prepared.

Kind regards - (Finnish Gas (Finnish Gas 13:08, 23 February 2012 (UTC)).[reply]

2012–13 Belgian Pro League

Hi,

just wanted to give you a heads up that I have added content for said article. Feel free to expand.

In relation to the creation of new season articles, I would like to ask you to use the {{fb cl2 team}} and {{fb cl3 qr}} series for league tables, plain wikitables for the optional position-by-round tables and a yet to be created template for results boxes. The reason behind this is the consensus to abolish the fb team and fb competition templates at some future point as these provide too much unnecessary clutter to the database; see also WT:FOOTY#"fb" template system for the full discussion. Please amend the other season articles to be created accordingly; however, you do not need to take care of any already existing articles for now, as these are planned to be changed by a bot.

Belgian national football team - phew

Hello,

Since you will understand my Flemish English: by this I give the pipe to Maarten! :) I think there is few I can still adapt or add in the main article from the Belgian national football team. Maybe I will be able to upload a couple of pictures I would really want to upload for this page (depends on copyright), but we will see that later. I have never been uploading, maybe I will ask for help.

True, I could adapt the history (can be extended a lot) or work on some of the "loose ends" you proposed. For me it is fine to put some energy in listing up the matches every now and then, so we could make appointments about who would enlist which period. But the upcoming days, I will leave the Red Devils page like it is (or pages related to it) - I satisfied my edit hunger and hopefully also the curiosity of people who want to know something more about the reviving Belgian squad!

As you see I am able to write something, but I wouldn't know how to comment on those results (as you proposed). Simply indicating if it went well or wrong with the Belgian team, and memorable matches to indicate? Purely results discussion seems a bit boring to me, but often in football it is all you can do if you have no background.

I am not worrying (yet) about matches that count or not. There is no discussion that international friendlies, qualifiers and tournament matches always count, but what with matches against teams that are not countries or not official countries, play-off matches, matches from de jaren stillekes with very few info, ... ? In upcoming weeks I will make sure to make myself a user page like you did, and we can see how we proceed.

Hey! Yeah, I added Šabala to List of Belgian football transfers winter 2013–14, because he was transferred to Club Brugge officially on 29 January. This was confirmed by Skonto FC director and the player himself that day and a day later also by Club Brugge. Although, it was stated that Šabala would be loaned to his former club Skonto till July 1, 2014. I think that the correct way would be to add him to the Belgian winter transfers in the IN section of Club Brugge and then in the OUT section that he is currently on loan to Skonto FC. I similarly did in List of Latvian football transfers winter 2013-14.

Here are the sources you asked for:

http://sportacentrs.com/futbols/legionari/29012014-sabala_parakstijis_ligumu_ar_belgijas_clu?is_mobile=0 (Latvian) - Šabala has signed a contract with Belgian "Club Brugge"
http://sportacentrs.com/futbols/virsliga/29012014-sabala_lai_belgija_uzreiz_tiktu_pie_spele (Latvian) - interview with Šabala after joining
http://skontofc.com/?zina=491 (Latvian) - Skonto FC webpage (the underlined phrase states that the contract is signed till 30 June 2018, but till 1 July 2014 he will be on loan to Skonto FC).

change over from Di Rupo to Michel government

with regards to Template:Belgian federal government: Currently it's still the Di Rupo government as the new Michel government has not taken the oath yet. Therefore I have returned the content to the Di Rupo government but have placed the Michel government as a hidden text. Only when the government officially has taken the oath, then Di Rupo part should be deleted and the hidden text be made visible. But you can update the hidden text of course, as soon as further names and departments for the Michel government are announced. -- fdewaele, 10 October 2014.

Belgium NFT

Hello Pelotas, I would like to get back to following comments of yours more than two years ago now. It was good that you gave me a push and ideas; I simply wanted to mention where we stand now.

Great job on the article so far! :)

I already thanked for that, but never totally ceased working at the main article and side articles. For the main page, at the moment a GA review is ongoing. May I introduce you to Sygmoral? He is a specialist in layouts and wikipedia coding. Also the insights given by the current GA reviewer, MarshalN20 (a triple FA editor) have been very welcome to move the article forward. All help is still welcome, I invite you to take a look for suggestions.

But just to inform you, I have some more ideas and there are still a lot of stuff to do regarding the team:

* Belgium national football team results needs more text.

A couple of sentences have been added, it still could use more.

* The equivalents of Belgium national football team results (1904–1909) still need to be created for all the other decades, plus it might use some text.

Five more decade pages have been created, two of them not totally complete yet. On top of that I created a page for the unofficial matches.

* I'm currently working on this: User:Pelotas/List of Belgium international footballers, to create pages like List of Scotland international footballers and List of Scotland international footballers (5 – 19 caps) (maybe 5-24)

A great article it is. Sygmoral now often keeps an eye on it, you still do that as well?

Also, an important remark: I initially used to look at the info available on the rsssf website which seems complete, but recently the kbvb has presented a list of all red devils (http://www.belgianfootball.be/nl/alle-rode-duivels), where it seems they are NOT counting the matches at the 1920, 1924 and 1928 olympics. I've sent them a question why, as fifa counts these as full internationals. I did count these matches when creating List of Belgium national football team hat-tricks and Progression of Belgium association football goalscoring record. How will we proceed with this as long as the kbvb does not count these matches? :s

Have you had any response yet? I find this also a bit of a burden, besides, the RBFA does recognise matches that were not official according to FIFA in last years...

Finally, an easier one, we also need a template such as Template:England national football team to link al these pages together and maybe sort out all the categories too.

Good that you started it - I kept it updated, have a look.

Anyway, if you're interested, pick some loose end to work from and enjoy! :) --Pelotas^talk^|^contribs 10:11, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I sure do! Belgium NFT and it related articles are a never finished matter, from which strangely enough it feels like we did already most of the work! :) You too, have fun in the articles you are busy with. Kareldorado (talk) 09:29, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Country letters

Hi, just asking, why would you want to change ROU to ROM like you did here? Qed237 (talk) 21:31, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Qed237: I mistakenly thought that was the official code since there is no "u" in Romania, not when written in English nor Romanian. However since you asked I went looking around and on Comparison of IOC, FIFA, and ISO 3166 country codes I can also see that ROU is the official one... I don't see any reason to use the French name abbeviation but hey what am I going to do about it. I also always change "NLD" to "NED" and "DEU" to "GER" but those seem ok in IOC/FIFA context. Slovenia seems questionable too, I use "SLO" but "SVN" is FIFA style... oh well. Pelotas^talk^|^contribs 22:04, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If I understand it correctly, this would mean that Italy (women) and New Zealand (men) take the vacated spot if it becomes available. --Pelotas^talk^|^contribs 14:00, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the next best placed team. So, you remove the info again? Kante4 (talk) 14:13, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kante4: Adapted. Still a bit uncertain for me as the rules also state "If a team does not enter its Continental Championships, it will forfeit its qualification for the 2018 Hockey World Cup" and Italy is not participating in the 2017 Women's EuroHockey Nations Championship. But I guess since they are at the second level of the EuroHockey Nations Challenge and probably taking part there, it will count as "entering the championship". --Pelotas^talk^|^contribs 14:25, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the info at times is a bit headscratching. Kante4 (talk) 14:26, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

summer transfers Belgium

Hello Pelotas!

Ik zie dat jij de updates doet van de zomertransfers in de Belgische competitie. Geweldig werk! Ik maak vaak gebruik van deze pagina. Ze is jammer genoeg al een hele tijd niet ge-updatet (vandaag wel de transfers van OHL erbij gekomen). Keep up the good work!! Is vast niet evident om telkens een speler bij te voegen, ik kan het alvast niet, respect!

Actually many websites are saying he spent some time at Vendsyssel. See transfermarkt for instance: https://www.transfermarkt.com/gary-martin/profil/spieler/142513. Just try googling for Gary Martin & Vendsyssel. --Pelotas^talk^|^contribs 12:36, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lyra

Lierse will merge with Oosterzonen not with Lyra. So the name change of the latter is not yet 100% certain. I know they are stating that the name will change, but it is not 100% certain until the paperwork is finished so I think you are being a bit too hasty? I have kept the name for the moment, as you mentioned it, however I think it is still too fast since the official documents have not yet been taken care of (even if Lyra itself mentions it on their website). I'll edit the page a bit more but it might be possible you have to revert the changed name. Garnhami (talk) 17:49, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How was he NOT in the squad for Latvia and Slovenia when he even PLAYED against Latvia. Are you comprehending that this is the squad for the BOTH matches, not for Slovenia only!? Otherwise correct the "squad called up for the qualifying games against Latvia and Slovenia" part and just say that's the squad for Slovenia.

And the difference between him and Trichkovski and Spirovski is that they weren't in the squad at either match. Is it so hard to comprehend?

Belgian First Division A format

Hello, I noticed you contribute to quite a few Belgian football articles, and was wondering if you could help with some confusion I've had regarding the Belgian First Division A format. For play-offs II, what is the format of this season? The article currently says 7th to 16th will be split into 4 groups of 4, with the 4 group winners advancing to the semi-finals. However, I noticed here it is mentioned that play-offs II will be split into 2 groups of 6, with the 2 group winners advancing to a playoff to determine who will compete against the play-off I team. Do you know which is correct? Also, is it correct that the Europa League third qualifying round spot goes to the winner of the regular season by default (unless they qualify for the Champions League or EL group stage as cup winners)? Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 23:39, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Website is outdated, rules have changed this season. This website (in dutch) has the updated info: https://www.voetbalexpress.be/seizoen2019-2020/playoffs2020.html. You're correct about the Europa League spot, that remains valid. It was instated to make sure the regular season winner gets at least something even if they collapse in the playoffs. Pelotas^talk^|^contribs 11:22, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks! S.A. Julio (talk) 11:46, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the playoffs! :) Just one question, imho it's more clear to use "Championship Playoffs" and "Europa League Playoffs" rather than "I" and "II". In any case if you insist on I and II then the relegation playoffs in division 1B should be changed to III as well. Pelotas^talk^|^contribs 15:08, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I don't mind it being changed back, I just had seen the numbering used frequently. Also "Europa League play-offs" seemed a bit confusing since there are two parts, the playoff tournament of 16 teams, and then the actual decisive match against a play-off I team for a Europa League spot. S.A. Julio (talk) 15:44, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point. Most people seem to refer to it as playoffs I, II and III as well. So there's some arguments to keep it like that, I don't mind.Pelotas ^talk^|^contribs 22:24, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Message in plain text

Hi, I do apologize for using plain text insertions. I found it is the best way like : trigger an alarm bell. This in order to provoke a good correction... from a really English spoken contributor. Take note that new trends in Belgian football is to "buy" a club and then move it on a new location. Federation puts new rule: no more than 30 km between the two concerned stadiums ! Be care also that Belgian Federation authorises some clubs to apply older registred number (exemple OH Louvain and the number 18 former "Stade Louvain" - only one year in higher division). It is very better to maintain differents pages. Friendly. Shanon11 Shanon11 (talk) 13:04, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info Shanon11. So, as I see it, R.A.E.C. Mons (1910) is the old, former, now defunct club from Mons, with matricule 44. R.A.E.C. Mons (2015) is the new, current, active club with matricule 4194 (which will try to buy back the matricule 44 from 2026). Definitely these are distinct clubs and the structure should remain, not merging them. Your example of OH Leuven is totally the same. Oud-Heverlee Leuven indeed took over again matricule 18 (instead of 6142 of F.C. Zwarte Duivels Oud-Heverlee), but it is still not the same as Stade Leuven (the former matricule 18). Not sure where the 30km comes in because Mons, Genvy & Quevy all close to each other, within 30km at least. Pelotas^talk^|^contribs 11:05, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
