Casillas

As far as the Polish Wikipedia is concerned, the article has been moved. Thank you. Sir Wolf of Poland 14:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. :-) Kooma 14:53, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Had no idea

Sorry, I had no idea that the band was both names at one time. I thought someone was messing around with it. FireCrystal (talk) 20:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Kooma (di algo) 20:28, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Real Madrid roster

Yes, definitely. I found it earlier by my old computer using Firefox 2.0.0.19. I could cite it later as I failed to open the whole site by the latest Firefox in my new computer. Raymond Giggs 17:38, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Found, here. Raymond Giggs 17:41, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, the official website roster cannot be regarded as a reliable source ironically. Because the number of Wesley Sneijder is the most exciting number I have ever seen. Number 23! The number of 2007-08! That list should have some problem. Raymond Giggs 17:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh. If the Spanish version is correct, could you change the reference in the article for me please? I cannot find that webpage. Raymond Giggs 18:15, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Real Madrid captains

This means that Míchel Salgado should had been listed as a captain last term! Is this a new tradition to name four captains? Did you see the photos? I didn't see Casillas but I think he was standing in the backgroung in the last photo. Good work Raul17 (talk) 19:56, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I remembered the article, but it wasn't translated into English which I guess isn't official. Just like this article wasn't translated completely into English. The number one reason I don't read the English version of the site!!! Raul17 (talk) 20:33, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

SPL Saimaan piiri

Well done!

Just a quick word to say well done in putting the SPL Saimaan piiri page together. Thanks also for details on the Terijoen Urheilijat and ”Terijoen sk:n jalkapallojoukkue” teams. One day I would like to greatly improve the Terijoki page and can also refer to the old football clubs.

Finnish League and Cup articles

Hi Kooma - it is me again!

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.

It is more fleshed out and lacks nothing the former has. How to proceed? I reckon the Blasin article needs to be deleted?
