Please merge the PCC and CCL webpage

Hi! I don't know much how to edit here in wikipedia but can you please merge the Philippine Collegiate Championship and Collegiate Champions League? The official website itself which is at: http://www.collegiatechampionsleague.net/index.html acknowledges the previous CCL seasons anyway. You can just make a statement like "PCC was previously known as CCL." Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.185.184.42 (talk) 12:47, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi again! Thank you for merging the PCC and CCL pages. I think there's something wrong with the 2004-05 CCL season bracket, where there is University of mindanao. Hope you also fix that. Thanks again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.78.85.130 (talk) 05:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Comment

You really are a dodgy and laughable character, you know that! Just because you're all decorated with all these barnstars, you think you're some top wikipedian who's better than others. Before, you would say/ask one thing and even before you'd get a response you just go ahead do it anyway. You even try to be some smart ass with things like "Breaking news..... all nicknames are unofficial". Yet here you are now you with "it's sorta semiofficial......." What a big farce! I hope you're proud of yourself and your little barnstars of yours. Go ahead and bask in your glory, those are probably the only achievements/awards you've got going for yourself. It would explain you thinking you're some top dog that's better than others on here. Banana Fingers (talk) 13:45, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Philippines national football team

RP XI

2004
2008, 2010
Manila Standard - April 15, 1987 p. 12 - "China Wallops RP XI"

RP Booters

2007
2010
Manila Standard - June 13, 1993 p. 24- "RP booters eliminated..."

I could go on and on, but bottom line is, they're more commonly known as "RP XI" and "RP Booters" as they've been referred by those names for quite some time already. Those are just a few examples each that I was able to get rather easily. You'd get a sense of that if you had actually read the 'names' sub-section under the 'team image'. What do you know anyway? You're just a bandwagoner that likes to think you know a lot or you know it all. The Philippines reaches the semi-finals of the ASEAN championship for the first time and you're all of a sudden an expert? By no means am I saying I'm one myself but at the very least I definitely know more than you! It also shows that I am right in what I've said to you before, you think you're some big shot that's better than others and you always want to be the one that's right. Well, for once stop being the big headed person you are and quit mucking around as if you know it all. Banana Fingers (talk) 15:00, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

"PH XI" is now currently being used and "RP XI" is being phased out. Take notice that most references for "RP XI/Booters" was before the DFA ordered its phase out. I'll work out something. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 15:04, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
