Hey! Why did you remove Scotland from the list of countries? It has had a Parliament since 1999 and should be in the list. I've re-added it. Thanks. Iainmacl 16:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

FIFA World Cup

Hello. The section you've written, FIFA World Cup#Selection of hosts, is quite informative (and I just like it). But if we are going to make it a featured article, references will be required. Do you have a couple of links at hand that could be cited? Conscious 16:21, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, I've come up with some links. Don't know if the sources are really credible, though. Conscious 20:14, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Flag of Mexico.svg

You should not convert the file Flag_of_Mexico.png to a .svg file without asking for the permission of the author of the flag, which is Juan Manuel Gabino. Please do not use the .svg file until you get that permission.

AlexCovarrubias 09:33, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Hey I got the authorization of Juan Manuel Gabino to convert the PNG file of the Flag of Mexico to an SVG file. The bad new is that I don't know how to do it and you converted file was excellent. Can you please send it to me? Or upload it again? I would appreciate it a lot. My e-mail is soygris@hotmail.com thanks a lot.

Hi. I'm doing a survey of Wikipedia editors as part of a class research project. It's quick, anonymous, and the data will be made available to the Wikipedia community later this month. Would you like to take part? More info here. Thanks! Nonplus 23:44, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

UN map

I have made the changes you asked to Image:United Nations member countries world map.PNG. I separated montenegro but left it grey since it isnt UN yet - that can be updated when it is officialy accepted. --Astrokey44 04:38, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

No worries, I make changes like this to these maps all the time so I am ready to do them pretty fast! --Astrokey44 09:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

ok, thanks for fixing taiwan. it does look neater without the dependencies. --Astrokey44 23:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I awarded you this. Feel free to move it to a better place if you like. --Guinnog 21:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Football (soccer) barnstar

For your continued good work on football articles. I actually designed this with you in mind. Keep up the good work! Guinnog 10:14, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I felt bad giving you a generic sports barnstar, so I designed and got approval for a special football one. Enjoy! --Guinnog 01:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

László Kiss

Hey. I noticed you have been fixing the links to László Kiss (footballer) contained here, and just realized you have created the article. Guess what: The official FIFA match report says he was a starter! This throws out the main thing for which he is famous (besides fastest hat trick). I know he was a substitute and that the FIFA report is fucked up, but it will be a problem when citing the official source is needed. What are your thoughts? --ChaChaFut 01:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind. I found a FIFA article with the correct info. --ChaChaFut 01:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

ISO 3166-1 alpha-3

I think the question to ask is: why doesn't {{USA}} 'n friends not use the ISO name when they are named after the ISO code? Fix the problem, not the usage, is what I'm really suggesting. Cburnett 19:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Not putting any blame here, but you didn't drop me a question on my talk page (specifically me because I was the sole editor who switched to the flag templates) so I didn't see your comment nor your revision until I went to reference the list today, ergo my question here and now. Which ones were incorrect? I'd hate to see my work reverted because of a few out of the many that were incorrect. Cburnett 19:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Enlargement of the United Nations

Good job! This is a very fine and much-needed article. Thanks for adding it. As a sidenote, I changed it to keep in line with other such articles (e.g. Enlargement of the European Union.) Keep up the good work. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 20:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

User:SndrAndrss

Hi again. Rather an unusual request; the above named user has edited quite a few articles that you and I are intrerested in. He also edits articles on athletics. Most of his edits are beneficial or harmless, but he has also attracted a few warnings, recently from me, for vandalism, or, let's be charitable and say very careless edits. Will you keep an eye on him (or conceivably her), and let me know if anything looks funny? I don't want to have to block him, and he seems to be doing better, but he is completely non-communicative with other editors, which makes it very hard to gauge his intentions. Thanks. --Guinnog 00:29, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

link to Bundesliga

Hello, when you want to link to the article about the Bundesliga, please do not link to Bundesliga, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as Bundesliga (football) by writing out [[Bundesliga (football)|Budesliga]]. Regards, Jeff3000 05:56, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Belgian names

After noticing some of your edits on articles I'm watching, I also noticed you sometimes edit articles with the comment: Belgian names capitalize "Van". Could you please give me the source of that knowledge, since it is wrong and should be corrected. The rules are actually as follows in Belgium: the last name of a person is written in the way it appears on their identity card. If that card says George Van Somewhere, then "Van" is always with a capital V, however if it says George van Somewhere, then the v is never capitalized. In the Netherlands, a neighbour country of Belgium, Dutch is also the official language but the rules there are different, there the name is always written with a small v when the first name is mentioned, as in George van Somewhere and G. van Somewhere. However if the first name is not mentioned, then the last name always starts with a capital V, as in Mister Van Somewhere or Dr. Van Somewhere.

An exception to this rule is the french version of "Van" (which actually means "From" in English), which is "De or D'". In Belgium the passport is always checked for the correct spelling, just like the normal case, but in the Netherlands it is always spelled with a small d, even when the first name is not mentioned: Sir de Something or Mr. de Something. The dutch wiki has an article about this, so should you understand it, have a peek here. --P e lotas^talk 23:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Brilliant! Keep up the good work. --Guinnog 00:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC) [2]

FIFA World Cup Referees

Hi, I've added a list of guys who have officiated at World Cup Finals at FIFA World Cup Final match officials and am just adding to it as I go. If you've got any info on the different chaps who been selected to represent their nation at the event can you add stuff there. --Steve bloomer --

Thanks for the Radulescu stuff - have you anything AT ALL on Georges Balway / Balvay or Thomas Balway / Balvay? He's the only Frenchman who refereed at the 1930 World Cup.

Hi. I'm having real difficulties with the reference to Thomas Balway the referee. I have linked it via the entry for Jean Langenus, but it appears that the above-named was actually a person called John Balway. I don't know how to change the initial entry : it reads Thomas Balway. Can you help?

Cheers, Steve bloomer.

1954 World Cup Final

Not quite sure why the format I typed in that included all of the information regarding the match (i.e. match stats) was converted to what we have now.

I have edited others on the Football (soccer) matches link and would have thought that the format should be uniform on all of them for the purposes of information transfer. Any ideas?

Why do the accents need to be dropped for category indexes? Kingjeff 02:17, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't see where it is. I think it's just pretty stupid making a minor change like it and it's incorrect too. Anyways, I'm not going to make a bid deal about it. Kingjeff 02:29, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Akoto in WC squad 2006

Dear Sir,

I have edited "Éric Akoto" in "WC squads 2006" from "Admira/Wacker" to "no club". Some time later you have edited back.

I am from Austria and I know, that the contract between Akoto and Admira/Wacker ended before Christmas 2005. So he hasn't played a single game for Admira/Wacker in 2006.

Akoto was allowed to train with the Austrian club SV Schwechat (play in third highest class), but was not allow to play for them!

In July 2006 he find a new club with Grazer AK.

Thank you and best regards!

1954 FIFA World Cup squads#Scotland

Hi there. According to John Rafferty's 100 Years of Scottish Football (Pan, 1973) only 13 players actually travelled to Switzerland in the Scotland squad: Martin, Cunningham, Aird, Docherty, Davidson, Cowie, McKenzie, Fernie, Mochan, Brown, Ormond, Hamilton and Anderson. I wasn't sure what the best way include this information was - to include without a reference, or to input a traditional book reference which might ruin the appearance of the page. Any thoughts? Caledonian Place 13:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Well it doesn't look as awkward as I thought it might but feel free to adapt it. Caledonian Place 22:31, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Right, this could be tricky. Obviously the eleven who played in both games traveled, while both John Rafferty (who was a journalist at The Scotsman at the time} and Jim Brown agree that Hamilton replaced Johnstone and both also agree that 13 traveled.

Rafferty's book states " (manager) Beattie would only take 13 players to the finals and two of them were goalkeepers." Interestingly, Rafferty doesn't actually state Anderson went; I assumed that from his 2 goalkeepers statement, which may make Brown appear more accurate.

However, Brown states "Players such as George Young were ruled out as Rangers refused permission for any of their players to go to Switzerland as they were required for a club tour of the USA" while Rafferty states that the reason for his non-inclusion was that he was unfit at the original time of selection and that the selectors had decided to stick to one original squad. There are quotations from chief selector Tom Reid, although not specifically about Young, which may suggest Rafferty has greater detail, and as a result, greater knowledge.

It also seams strange that such an experienced player as Bobby Evans would travel and not get a game ahead of relatively inexperienced player like Jimmy Davidson or Doug Cowie, especially after a defeat in the first game.

To be honest, its difficult to tell and probably needs a third source to arbitrate. I will try asking at Scottishleague.net, a great Scottish football historians site. Caledonian Place 13:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Brown is right and Rafferty wrong. See here. The user "Scottish" is David Ross, a respected and published Scottish football historian. Will change the article and include the link to the Evening Telegraph. Caledonian Place 14:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

FRY

Thanks for expanding the note on Yugoslavia at List of United Nations member states! The book I read only said the FR of Yugoslavia was expelled, but provided no more details than that. - Thanks, Hoshie 05:42, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

1950 Sweden squad

Hi. I noticed that back in September you removed Sven Jonasson and Bengt Berndtsson from the Swedish team. I was wondering what sources you have from which you were able to determine their removal. I cannot seem to find this information. Libro0 21:47, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. The reason I left in a lot of names in for the early World Cups was because I was actually doing the reverse, that is looking for a reason/source that they should not be listed. I was trying to make sure that even though a player did not play or even get on the final squad that he was not an alternate or pre-selected and then dropped for some reason. As for the Hungarian player Somlay, User Gabute is tracking down his first name. So that may be a few days. Libro0 00:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your work cleaning up Pablo Bengoechea. You did an excellent job.

Francisco Carrasco

You recently placed a prod tag on the above whilst also creating the entry on AfD. I replaced the prod tag with the appropriate afd tag, assuming that is what you intended. Now, those arriving at the article will be led to the relevant discussion on AfD by clicking on the link shown.

Please note that PROD and AFD are independent processes for deleting an article, kindly refer to the links for further information. Ohconfucius 09:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Ignacio Tréllez (Trelles?)

Hey Chanheigeorge. Great work as usual. I have a question: What prompted you to move this page to the spelling with the accent and "z" at the end? Although I personally agree with it and I think that it is the correct spelling of that name (having Spanish as my first language), his surname is Trelles as far as FIFA and the FEMEXFUT are concerned. Whatever is correct, I feel tempted to include a note in the article about the wrong version being also used. Thanks in advance for your response. --ChaChaFut 03:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
