Name

[edit]

The name of this club in French is Red Star not Etoile Rouge http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Rs-fcg.jpg 90.198.51.232 (talk) 11:57, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it is isn't. The translation was simply the translation of the club's name to the French language. — JSRant Away 12:00, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

[edit]

@Ywwuyi: @Fenix down: This article has moved from Red Star F.C. to Red Star F.C. (France) and back. The talk page has moved to (France) but not moved back. Can we agree where these should live and make things consistent? Redirect FC Red Star Saint-Ouen has lots of incoming links. I've retargeted it to Red Star F.C. for now, but please feel free to revert if necessary once the dust settles. Thanks, Certes (talk) 01:27, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for moving the talk page back. I think I've sorted out the 407 articles which were left with misdirected wikilinks after these moves. Please could you check that I've not missed any? Certes (talk) 12:04, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semiprofessional status

[edit]

The club is described as experiencing a prolonged period with semiprofessional status where as it was actually last classed a professional up until 2021 (last period of profession status 2015-2021) French Language Red Star FC wiki page. The description needs to be updated reflect this. SteadyJames (talk) 12:10, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Average attendance

[edit]

Average attendance for the last to seasons has been well above 3000. This needs to be changed [1]https://www.worldfootball.net/attendance/fra-national-2022-2023/3/ SteadyJames (talk) 12:19, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Red Star F.C. → Red Star FC – The club itself does not use the dots in the FC, neither on the logo or on its official pages (like Instagram or the official website). Basically just no one uses the dots apart from this Wikipedia article. There is no consensus to use a particular version in France: it widely varies (from FC Villefranche Beaujolais to Stade Rennais F.C.). Paul Vaurie (talk) 16:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GiantSnowman: That should take place on WP:WPF. Here in this specific case, because there is no existing consensus for French clubs (yet), and there is a clear preference for not using the dots for this particular club, it seems inconvenient to not make this move. I say we should make this move and then have that broader discussion. What are your thoughts? Paul Vaurie (talk) 07:38, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We need consistency across the country, so the wider discussion first would be more sensible in my view. GiantSnowman 17:39, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: I would argue that consistency is not a necessity, as each title can be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by analyzing what sources use. However, if you believe that a wider discussion is necessary, I would encourage you to initiate such discussion. Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:13, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, we need standards. GiantSnowman 15:13, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: Alright, but please initiate the discussion and ping me where you start it. Paul Vaurie (talk) 21:41, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Govvy: With all due respect, I think that >99% of people would assume that two capitalized letters next to each other, especially the letters "FC", are shortened words. It's pretty standard now to not use dots for shortened words (as you said it, it's modern English). Example, JD Vance or HSBC. So, I don't really see what your argument is— unless you're suggesting that we always use the dots everywhere, because you think it's more clear. Which in my opinion is a bogus argument. Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:27, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Paul Vaurie: Umm, did you not read what I wrote? I clearly said it's traditional English vs Modern English and what I preferred to see. That is all I wrote. Not once did I write what I feel other people should see or think. Calling my opinion bogus is also uncalled for. You really need to choose your words carefully. Govvy (talk) 09:22, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Govvy: You need to learn not to put words in people's mouths. I didn't say your opinion is bogus, I said that the argument of saying that dots should be used everywhere, all the time is bogus. I didn't even say you made that argument; I asked a rhetorical question if that was your argument. Anything that says that absolutely everything should be uniform is bogus, in my opinion.
Now what you're saying is that you just "prefer to see" the dots? So your argument is "I like it more"?
But going back to your original comment, I was saying that "without the dots you're not showing it's a shortened word" is false, since the overwhelming majority (>99%) of people don't need the dots to recognize what it is. Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:59, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Paul Vaurie: We have J. K. Rowling, J. R. R. Tolkien, Liverpool F.C., we also have HMS Victory and U.S.A. redirects to United States. We do use the dots in many places on wikipedia when shortening names or words and we also don't. There is no consistency, there is modern vs traditional. What do you want has no policy to apply the rule. COMMONNAME is out the window here, you have a choice, I told you what my choice is. So what ever you want to say to me won't work. I work one way, that is pretty much a conservative English structure. The way I have learned to write and the way I was brought up, I've applied that here also. So... What I like, also shows that other people like that too, including the writers like Rowling and Tolkien. Govvy (talk) 20:09, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Govvy: If you're arguing the "I like this better" argument, you should probably take into account that Red Star FC itself prefers without the dots. Paul Vaurie (talk) 00:24, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild support per nom. I just got here after clicking around from Sol Bamba, and I feel like no matter which one's the real page and which one's the redirect, I would have found this page either way, even if I had gone looking for it. I also mildly disagree with Govvy's assessment, as it feels too prescriptivist. Highresheadphones (talk) 18:57, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. We're standardising pretty much all the European leagues on the "FC" format now, e.g. FC Barcelona, FC Bayern Munich etc and there's no particular reason not to do so here, or to delay the move pending a nebulous discussion at the WikiProject that will just chew time for no particular value. I feel like we're well on the way to doing this across the board now, and hopefully before too long we'll get consensus even for English clubs. "F.C." looks like an anachronism given the overwhelming usage of "FC" in sources in this day and age.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:48, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
