Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 16:37, 3 February 2006

• ]

This week's football improvement drive is part of the WikiProject on Football and is a weekly collaboration to improve football (soccer) articles to featured article status. Past collaborations are found on the history page, while removed nominations may be found on the removed nominations page.

Nomination and voting

Articles to be improved can be nominated by registered users in the "nominations" section below, with an explanation of what work is needed. To nominate an article, you can copy the template that you will below. Please do not nominate articles involved in edit wars. Each Sunday, the article with the most support votes is chosen. Opposing votes are not counted, the nomination is an approval voting. In case of a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins. Articles need two votes per week to stay on the list. You can vote for as many articles as you like.

Renominating

An article that is removed from the nominations list for failing to receive the required number of votes by the stipulated date cannot be renominated till one month after the date it is moved to the removed nominations page.

Template:FootballAID

Considerations for nominations

• Giving reasons as to why an article should become the Football AID may convince others to cast their vote.
• Can the wider football community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?

Nominations

The next project article is to be selected on Sunday 5 February.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

Norway national football team

Nominated January 17 2006; needs at least 8 votes by February 14 2006

Reason: After getting featured article status on the Norwegian Misplaced Pages, great portions of this article were translated to expand our article. It's quite detailed now. Perhaps with some work this could be a featured article in the future? Punkmorten 16

Comments:

• I wonder what kind of work it would need. Punkmorten, don't you want to indicate your support for this article? Conscious 20:12, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• First and foremost I think it needs more pictures. The ones on the Norwegian page are not 100% clear on copyrights... NuclearFunk 17:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• Maybe a bit too many dead article links, allthough i understand that a lot of the names mentioned in the article are quite unimportant people, but some of them (like Tore André Dahlum, Ingvar Stadheim, Arne Larsen Økland, Tor Røste Fossen, F.K. Ørn-Horten, Mercantile F.K.) should be made articles of. Arnemann 21:08, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Of course, being the main author of the article, I'm a bit biased... ;-) --Badmotorfinger 19:52, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Bayern Munich

Nominated January 18 2006; needs at least 12 votes by February 28 2006

Reason: Lacking in information for such an important team. Many other Bundesliga teams have substantially longer articles which is odd given that Bayern Munich is by far the most successful and most internationally known team in the league. The German article has much more information which could be easily incorporated into this article.

Comments:

I've been grinding my way through the German clubs alphabetically, using the available club list, and doing what I can to flesh out the articles for each team with re-writes, additional info, logos, that sort of thing. Done about three dozen sides so far – into the G's – but have only touched on a couple of the big clubs to date. Werder and Alemannia, I think. Freshened up the article on the Bundesliga, too. On a first pass through, I've been focusing on basic historical profiles and on incorporating whatever useful stuff might already be on the page, or in the German language page for the team. Its been quite interesting. Wiggy! 03:21, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

It's in a pretty awful state as is, with no history section and bulky tables. I'ld be happy to put my meagre German skills to the test, or assist in some other way. Poulsen 23:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

The article really is in desperate need of some attention, I agree. Although as a 1. FC Kaiserslautern fan, I will strongly promote a negative POV when editing ;) j/k Onomatopoeia 15:17, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I jumoed the gun and just inserted LOADS of info. Onomatopoeia 17:04, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Tons of trivial information not relevant for the environment. Language often too informal, often too enthusiatic: this is not supposed to be another fan page! A major cleanup, focussing more on the major facts and less on story telling and nitty gritty, ist still needed.

La Liga

Nominated January 24 2006; needs at least 6 votes by February 14 2006

Reason: Currently this article is little more than a list of previous winners, current clubs, and basic rules. Surely there must be so much more to be said about this topic. Jacoplane 04

1. Hargreavesfan 22:11, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

• Perhaps this page should be exclusively on Primera División, and information on league system should be moved elsewhere. Conscious 12:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

• I've made a start on improving page as suggested. Hope this helps.

I agree with above comment about page only been about the Primera Division, with links to articles on other divisions.Djln--Djln 22:56, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Galatasaray

Nominated January 25 2006; needs at least 4 votes by February 8 2006

Reason: it has won UEFA Cup and European Super Cup, but the page is not far from stub. There is not much information except players, presidents and managers names.--Ugur Basak 03

1. Jack O Lantern 17:30, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

• Deserves to be improved--Ugur Basak 03:55, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• I agree - one of the best Turkish sides ever and a frequent European participant, they definately need a history section at the very least. Starfighter Pilot 12:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• One of the best football teams of the eastern countries. It has many supporters beyond the Turkey like in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan.. Deserves to be improved. Jack O Lantern 17:30, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Jack O Lantern, don't forget supporters in European countries especially in Germany.--Ugur Basak 16:16, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Huge support base in Bosnia+Herzegovina should also be mentioned when considering European countries. Maybe a sub- article on the significance of ultrAslan as well should be included. And a subsection maybe on the violence between Galatasaray fans and Leeds fans etc- many people see this event as an example of Turkish hooliganism, maybe an objective article providing various perspectives, similar to those on Turkey's accession into the European Union for example? melis3514

Bayern Munich (womens' section)

Nominated January 28, 2006; needs at least 2 votes by February 4, 2006

Reason:

It's a new article that could easily be expanded into a good article.

1. Hargreavesfan 22:09, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

• Yes it does need its own page. Anything less would just be a stub. and yes, I have renominated it.

Football (soccer)

Nominated January 28, 2006; needs at least 8 votes by February 25, 2006

Reason:

The root article of all articles in this WikiProject. Needs references, and some of the language could be simplified, as the article should serve as an introduction to those unfamiliar with the sport. Cricket is a good example of how to do this well. A productive AID could see this article ready for peer review.

Comments:

• This one must really be made into a featured article. -- Elisson • Talk 00:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• What more could be added to it?Hargreavesfan 22:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • It lacks the common tactics section, for example. (See basketball.) Also, I think it emphasizes too much on the laws of the game. Conscious 07:20, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • The Laws of the Game are complicated and should have a much more detailed section.Kingjeff 16:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Better to shorten it down somewhat, this article should cover all aspects a little, if you want more info, the "main article" links are there for you. -- Elisson • Talk 18:19, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Maybe 1 or 2 sentences for each law of the game?Kingjeff 23:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
• This is the main article for football; it had better be the best we can make it. howcheng {chat} 17:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Owen Hargreaves

Nominated January 30, 2006; needs at least 2 votes by February 6, 2006

Reason: For the greatest Canadian born soccer player ever, it should have more. Support:

2. Hargreavesfan 22:19, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

• Greatest soccer player from Canada. Deserves to have more.

F.C. United of Manchester

Nominated January 30, 2006; needs at least 2 votes by February 6, 2006

Reason:

• Roster needs to be put into table format.

Support:

1. Kingjeff 22:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

• The "roster" is fine as it is. Are there any other changes that you'd suggest? File:Yemen flag large.png CTOAGN (talk) 23:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• It is just that team rosters are in a table format. I have no problem with the information. But can't we put it into a table format? Kingjeff 01:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

When I really look at it closely, all that info can go into their wikipedia page about the player. Kingjeff 01:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

FC Dynamo Kyiv

Nominated February 3 2006; needs at least 2 votes by February 10 2006

Reason:

The article is very incomplete for a highly publicized and renowned team like Dynamo Kyiv. It is the most dominant team in Ukrainian football as well as in the former Soviet Union. It won many championships and deserves more than just that tiny article.
