Welcome!
The templates
[edit]- 2009–10 Elitserien season. Just so you know, the minor templates, are designed to make less typing. /Heymid (talk) 13:14, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- Also, what do you say about the edit I made? The background is white now. /Heymid (talk) 13:17, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hi. How does the Hovet-template reduce typing? It's better now, but I still think we should aim for this design. Maybe skip the goal scorers like the current design, but at least remove the colours that doesn't provide information for the reader. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 21:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- I am so sorry, but I am also working on the swedish Wikipedia, so I don't really have time to redesign and start all over. Sorry, but if you have time, you can do it instead. /Heymid (talk) 20:15, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
- And the {{Hovet}} template: I thought it was named "Johanneshovs Isstadion", which is the name on the swedish Wikipedia. But now I know that the name is "Hovet", so I only have to write "[[Hovet]]". /Heymid (talk) 20:15, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
It will not work
[edit]I am sorry to say, but to use the Template:NHLPlayoffs will not work, because NHL has a static home-and-away-team system: the home team plays the first 2 games, the away team then plays home the next 2 games, then the home team 1 game, then the away team 1 game, then the home team 1 game. /Heymid (talk) 14:23, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
[edit]Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:33, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Team infoboxes
[edit]Did you change the design? They look much better now. —Krm500 (Communicate!) 20:04, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- If you're refering to these edits, then thanks! I thought "Conference Championships" was a bit misleading for Elitserien teams. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 22:11, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi! Please see my comment at the AFD for Niklas Lundström. The reason to why I created the article, was that he is currently in the elite team's roster. What is your opinion? Should it be deleted anyway?
WP:Athlete#Ice_hockey cites "played one or more games" in "an existing or defunct top professional league" or "amateur league" (see number 1 and 2, for respective citation). Therefore, the J20 SuperElit, is it considered an amateur league?
Also, FYI: I have backed up the article for recreation, when he has played a game in a professional league (in this case Elitserien), if the article is deleted. /HeyMid (contributions) 12:49, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- You missed the next few words in that sentence "through lack of a professional league, the highest level of competition extant" which means the amateur level is only applicable if there was no professional league available at the time. In Sweden there currently is a professional league, The Elitserien. Therefore the J20 SuperElit is not the highest level of hockey available. Secondly there is no point backing up the article as when it is deleted the source is still there you just can't see it. But an admin can restore it. Also be aware that meeting WP:NHOCKEY doesn't guarantee an article is notable, it just means that sources are likely to exist to make it notable. You still need to find multiple reliable independant references to pass WP:GNG or it can still be deleted. -DJSasso (talk) 13:27, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) DJSasso, then it would probably take some time before the admin sees my request and restores it (maybe up to an hour or more?).
- Also, please remember to mark your comments with
{{TPS}}
when you reply to a message on someone else's user talk page than your's. /HeyMid (contributions) 13:35, 2 September 2010 (UTC)- Um no, TPS is not a requirement and pretty much no one uses it. Its been used less than 500 times in total. Secondly its against policy to edit someone elses comments, please stop doing so, and thirdly recreating a deleted page without an admin restoring it is grounds for speedy deletion. -DJSasso (talk) 13:36, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) What I mean is that if the article is recreated by someone (which means not restored by an admin) with the same material, when the article is notable (in this case, when the goaltender in question has played one or more games in a professional game, which, in this case is Elitserien), can it be marked for speedy deletion anyway? All that I know is that admins can write in the edit summary "recreation of deleted material" or something like that when they delete an article (think it is a Swedish translation by myself). If that is true, does that mean I have to be nice and ask an admin to restore the article, if it is deleted (in this case, the AFD)?

Football taskforce proposal
[edit]I've created a proposal for a Sweden taskforce under Wikipedia:Football, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/WikiProject Football/Sweden task force and support and join if you are interested. --Reckless182 (talk) 19:54, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- Hello Tooga , thanks for your support. Could you please specify if you are interested to join the taskforce or not should it be created beside your signature under "Support". Thanks! --Reckless182 (talk) 14:02, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- Done! Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 18:04, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Thanks! Hopefully I'll insipire others to do the same. Swedish football isn't exactly the best covered subject on the English Wikipedia. --Reckless182 (talk) 15:38, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
2011 Allsvenskan
[edit]Hi! Thanks for your suggestions! I agree, the prose could surely be improved a lot.
The return to starting in April rather than March should be mentioned somewhere, most likely in the lead. Perhaps we could add a paragraph concerning the preseason in the "Teams" section. Referees should be added, but maybe a section in Allsvenskan would be better? I've created two Swedish referee articles lately but I believe we are lacking a large number of Allsvenskan referee articles (See http://svenskfotboll.se/domare/elitdomare/presentation/fifa-herr/ for a complete list). Do you know of any monthly "Player of the month" or "Manager of the month" in Allsvenskan, I don't think there are any?
Finally, defining the criteria for "notable young talents" would be quite problematic I think, maybe this is something for the individual club season articles, regrettably it seems like its only you, me and User:Halmstad (For Halmstads BK) who are bothered with writing these. Since there are only three individual club season articles maybe we should add a section in this article with a summary of the season as it progresses? Usually this is done in the club articles.
When the season starts I think we should add a "Season statistics" section like in 2010-11 Premier League, which is a good example on a well written league season article. Feel free to hit me back if you come up with anything more! --Reckless182 (talk) 23:53, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- Great stuff! I have created a draft for a referee section in my sandbox at User:Reckless182/Sandbox, take a look and tell me what you think. Also I've done some research about the notability of referees and found Wikipedia:NFOOTBALL which describes notability for people involved in football. Refs are only mentioned in this sentence as notable: "Players, managers and referees who have represented their country in any officially sanctioned senior international competition". However this also says: "Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully-professional league (as detailed Wikipedia:FPL), will generally be regarded as notable." My guess is that this sentence would probably include referees as well as long as they have refereed matches in Allsvenskan, which is considered a fully-professional league per previous wikilink. I'll look further into this later when I have the time.
- The link you provided could provide a steady ground for the awards. My only worry here is the nature of the article which seems to be written as a column. This adds a couple of problems. Are the views in the article reliable? The fact that article is published by the Swedish Football Association would probably tell us that it is indeed reliable. However can we trust that features like "Årets lag" are objective facts and not only the opinions of the article editor (Stefan Thylin)? Maybe we can find a better source for this, perhaps a summary from Fotbollsgalan or alike. Keep up the good work! --Reckless182 (talk) 09:36, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- By the way, something entirely different that crossed my mind. I've wanted to create articles for Svenska Cupen finals for some time. I have searched for sources but I can't seem to find anything good. I'm looking for stuff like lineups, match reports and alike, the online archive of the Swedish Football Association only stretches as far back as 2000/2001. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks man! --Reckless182 (talk) 10:17, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, the ref section is now up on the Allsvenskan article with an added picture of Martin Hansson.
- Regarding Stefan Thylin, this is what Wikipedia:SPS has to say on the matter: "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications." Here we should be able to call Stefan Thylin an "established expert" since he obviously has a lot of knowledge about the subject and has written columns like this quite frequently, also the Swedish Football Association is a "reliable third-party". I think what you're proposing would be OK according to WP:SPS. Good luck finding pre-season sources, what about this one? It's only results but maybe you could use it to base some conclusions.
- Thanks for the suggestions about Svenska Cupen finals, I'll continue searching. --Reckless182 (talk) 07:17, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Looks good! Where in the article are you thinking about adding the section? --Reckless182 (talk) 10:14, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- Great, I did some minor copyediting. I try to update the infobox and season statistics as much as possible. Do you think there is anything missing from the article? --Reckless182 (talk) 09:55, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Cheers! I'll try to create articles for the redlink captains as well sometime soon. --Reckless182 (talk) 23:27, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Josefson
[edit]The article looks pretty good, I will take a look in the next couple of days. Canada Hky (talk) 22:34, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- I am going through and doing some copyedits. Here are a few suggestions for things you might want to take a look at. I didn't make all of these changes, because I am not sure about the correct leagues and everything in Swedish hockey, but most of this stuff is just minor tweaks, rather than major readjustments. It's a really good article.
- Always try to state the league that a team is in the first time you mention it. Its not necessary as much for the minor hockey teams, but when he is bouncing around J-20, SEL, etc, it will make things clearer.
- Define abbreviations the first time you use them in a section, something like this: National Hockey League (NHL).
- I edited the part out about attending rookie camp with Tedenby. If they were teammates on their club team, it could be re-added, but otherwise it is just mentioning another player from Sweden who happened to be a Devils prospect, not necessarily relevant info. I could be missing another link there, though.
- There is some inconsistency in date formatting, 20 October vs April 27.
- "Josefson missed six rounds of Elitserien due to the World Junior Hockey Championship" do rounds = games?
- In the international play section, what team were Brodin, Kruger and Josefson on together? Its not clear from the sentence.
- As I said - a good article. I will have a run through and finish copyediting, but there isn't a whole lot to do. Drop me a note if any of this is unclear. Canada Hky (talk) 23:58, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
re: Patrick Antwi
[edit]Hello and thank you for the notice on my talk page about this article. As you may have noticed, another editor contested the deletion (and I agree). We've added a few sources that show this person has played in a FIFA "A" international match for Ghana, which I believe makes him notable. It might be a bit of a borderline case (and I apologize for not doing more with that article over the years), so please feel free to nominate it for deletion through the AfD process and we can get more editor's input. Best regards. Jogurney (talk) 17:07, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Hello! I recently did some work on Stefan Hammarén because I came across it as part of the Wikipedia:Unreferenced BLP Rescue project. Though I was able to add sources with the help of Google translate, I was left wondering if Hammarén is really a pen name, and whether there is some mystery behind this author. Any thoughts? cheers.--Milowent • talkblp-r 14:47, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, the source I added was the only one I found to reliable. There are many blogs and smaller websites mentioning him, and while those might be reliable, I haven't found anything that points to his name being a pen name. Sorry that I can't be of more assistance. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 16:07, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
refs
[edit]When an article has an equivalent in another language Wikipedia , and there are refs there, they shoud be translarted or copied over BLPPROD is not reall the best course in such cases. DGG ( talk ) 18:32, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
- I checked the Swedish wiki before nominating and my points in the PROD-nomination still stands. I fail to see how he fulfills WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. Just being a member of a political party does not make him notable. Tooga - BØRK! 21:27, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Just one note on Daniel Nannskog, which you've assessed as low-importance; his article list 7 caps for Sweden, doesn't that make his football-importance Mid, since the Importance Scale states "Players or managers that have participated at international level or in a top-level league."?

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:51, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Invite to the African Destubathon
[edit]Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!
