List of players by club

Standard naming for this is List of X F.C. players - apart from in USA, where it's All-time X FC roster, see Category:Lists of soccer players by club in the United States. Is there any reason for this, or why the USA should not match the rest of the world? GiantSnowman 12:49, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

I am not aware of the reason these lists were named as an "All-time" roster, however that phrasing suggests to me that it is a list of every player under contract. I think the phrasing "List of" players is more accurate, as these lists ought to have specific inclusion criteria. Jogurney (talk) 17:49, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Korede Adedoyin name

This player has always been known as 'Korede Adedoyin' - except when he signed for Raith Rovers, he was suddenly known as 'Cody David'. Can anybody find a source explaining the change? GiantSnowman 13:50, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Youth title in Olympiacos honor section

Hey there! Why is the uefa youth league title that Olympiacos F.C. Youth Academy won, shown on the senior team Olympiacos F.C.? Shouldn't it be removed and kept on the youth article, because they were the ones who won it, not the senior team? Speun (talk) 21:19, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Agreed, it's not a 'honour' for the (senior) team. GiantSnowman 22:38, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi again GS! So it should just be removed? or do we need more people to agree? Idk how it works tbh. Speun (talk) 18:47, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Agree that it should be removed. Kante4 (talk) 18:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes, remove it. GiantSnowman 19:04, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you both for your replies! I removed it! :-) Speun (talk) 19:59, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Image query

Hello all. I currently have Teddy Wynyard (Old Carthusians 1881 FA Cup winner) at FAC. A reviewer is wondering when/where the following picture was published. Would anyone have any ideas, perhaps a book?

AA (talk) 22:30, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

That picture is on page 25 (and the front cover) of “The Early FA Cup Finals” by Keith Warsop, published by SoccerData 2004 Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 10:37, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

ISBN: 9781899468782 ColchesterSid (talk) 10:49, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

The book is one of the sources cited in the article. Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 11:01, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

I believe the question that AssociateAffiliate is really asking is where it was first published. If it was never published anywhere prior to 2004 then it isn't necessarily copyright-free and potentially can't be used in the article in question...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:38, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

In the Acknowledgements section of the book, the author says that the picture is used “by kind permission of the Governing Body of Charterhouse” so it looks like the Copyright belongs to them. Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 17:13, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Cheers, thanks for finding this. I will try and find an email and see if they will give permission for us to use it. AA (talk) 17:29, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

I've seen this credited to Epilogue to "The Old Vale and Its Memories", published in 1929. Hack (talk) 02:59, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

That book is not available through archive.org but there's links to downloads of it (in various formats) here however they don't seem to work. Might be worth contacting the site (contact details here).......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Cieran Slicker edits be User GiantSnowman

I've made well intended edits to Cieran Slicker. User:GiantSnowman seems determined to demonise the edits, twice so far (and 3rd time ready to happen at any moment), labelling the edits as unconstructive and vandalism. Constructive critique is one thing, why GiantSnowman is driven to take such a negative attitude to this I am unable to comprehend. I know anyone can have a bad day, the persistence of the negativity suggests though GiantSnowman is having more than just a bad day. The edits I added are more informative and use less verbose language.

If this is the life of a wikpedia editor, you can keep it. Whatever you decide among you, adios amigos and all the best to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.200.192.109 (talk) 02:44, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

GiantSnowman’s wording is inline with the article standards for football players across Wikipedia to be fair.

Reverting the article to the wording used by GiantSnowman would be done by most associated with WikiProject Football.

Your Edit:

Cieran Peter Slicker (born 15 September 2002) is a professional football goalkeeper. He is contracted to Premier League club Ipswich Town until 2028.

GiantSnowman’s Edit:

Cieran Peter Slicker (born 15 September 2002) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Ipswich Town. Josh (talk) 05:18, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

I have explained the reasons for reverting the changes on my talk page. The IP reverting against MOS and accusing me of vandalism is concerning. GiantSnowman 07:30, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

The initial edit was not vandalism though, which is how you labelled it. Spike 'em (talk) 08:34, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Fair point, apologies to the IP for that. GiantSnowman 08:39, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
