- Perhaps worth posting on WP:ANI --SuperJew (talk) 07:54, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- SuperJew: Step 1 is for one or more editors who know football to comment on whether the IP editor's contributions are in any way helpful or not. I believe ANI should wait until then. I intentionally did not indent my second posting here because I considered it a continuation of my first post. —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Ummmm… the squad section? REDMAN 2019 (talk) 21:52, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Deleted. Apart from anything it was out of date and having a picture of every player is more suited to a club website than WP ColchesterSid (talk) 14:21, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Current Squad: Unattached / Free Agent
Hey all,
In a national team's Current Squad, do we think it's best practice to show a player without a club as:
1)
No. | Pos. | Player | Date of birth (age) | Caps | Goals | Club |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
DF | Joshewa Frederick-Charlery | 24 January 1997 | 21 | 0 | Free agent |
2)
No. | Pos. | Player | Date of birth (age) | Caps | Goals | Club |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
DF | Joshewa Frederick-Charlery | 24 January 1997 | 21 | 0 | Unattached |
3)
No. | Pos. | Player | Date of birth (age) | Caps | Goals | Club |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
DF | Joshewa Frederick-Charlery | 24 January 1997 | 21 | 0 | Unattached |
4)
No. | Pos. | Player | Date of birth (age) | Caps | Goals | Club |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
DF | Joshewa Frederick-Charlery | 24 January 1997 | 21 | 0 |
I'd personally usually use number 3 but just seeing whether a general consensus exists. Felixsv7 (talk) 09:54, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Agree with Option 3. Kante4 (talk) 10:28, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- I would say Option 3 or 4, but probably 3 just to alleviate the unknown. Chris1834 Talk 13:37, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Definitely not 4, that just looks like somebody has forgotten to add the information. No real preference beyond that -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- I prefer option 3 also, there are enough links on a page, so no need to put links to basic terms. Govvy (talk) 14:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Use WP:ENGVAR. I'd have to revert to "free agent" in articles such as Philippines national football team. Unattached sounds like their limbs have been dismembered. Howard the Duck (talk) 00:45, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- Option 3 is best (no link) - and fine to use 'Free agent' for some countries per DATEVAR. GiantSnowman 07:49, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Liam Dulson DOB
Liam Dulson - Soccerway says born November 1999, putting him at 24, but this says he was 18 in 2020 and that he turns 23 in January 2025, putting DOB as January 2002... which is correct? I am inclined to go with the detailed source rather than the database. GiantSnowman 19:52, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- I would also go with the article, which states he will turn 23 this coming January. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 21:34, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
