Language
Can only English be used on the English Wikipedia? TeaLover1996 Talk to me ☏ 06:53, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: Yes, all articles and all communication between users should be in English. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:55, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
- However, I have seen references in another language, that is okay right? Vaselineeeeeeee (talk) 03:10, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Vaselineeeeeeee: Yes that is okay. English references are the best but if no good english references exists, then a reference in an other language are okay. Also in Champions League were I do much work, reference from an other langauge can be good for example if the official national football association makes a statement about a participating club.

Trolls
What does it mean to troll someone on Wikipedia? TeaLover1996 Talk to me ☏ 12:17, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: What is a troll?. In general someone that disrupts editors from making constructive work. This could for example by continous off topic discussion (sorry but you have actually been on the borderline) or someone making disruptive edits on articles to get attention. I have not read about myself, but it might be a good read. Qed237 (talk) 13:02, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- To clarify I dont think you are a troll (at least not on purpose) but asking about favourite football teams and such questions are off topic. Qed237 (talk) 13:03, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
Re: Champions League and Europa League
I have not started working on them. So go ahead and create the pages. I will edit if there are any issues, but I trust you can do a good job. :-) Chanheigeorge (talk) 13:35, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
Thomas Vermaelen
I just saw you have removed earlier his honor , I know you are frustrated about Danny Welbeck thing. and I really understand. but the difference is barca officially saying he got the medal. while Arsenal said nothing about it. do I think Danny didn't win it? no I don't think this a player has played 3 games should be considered a winner of it,but does my opinion matter ? No It doesn't it is irrelevant to be honest. because neither the player or Arsenal has said something about if he won it or not. but and since there is no source for him to support this and it seems people have a strong opinion about Danny's not winning it they removed it . if you have a question please let me know :) read the talk page and see the sources i have provided please. thank you ! Adnan (talk) 15:50, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
Watching
Hi, I was on someones user page not long ago and there is a userbox saying, this user is watched by 38 other editors, does that mean 38 other editors have him on their watchlist? Regards TeaLover1996 Talk to me ☏ 18:26, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: probably. Qed237 (talk) 18:34, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)@TeaLover1996: I guess so. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:43, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
Bot Archive
Could you check why the bot isn't working on my talk page? --TeaLover1996 Talk to me ☏ 21:48, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: made a small edit, lets see if it works. Qed237 (talk) 22:34, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thank You TeaLover1996 ☏ 22:39, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
AGF
If someone repeatedly doesn't assume good faith does that mean they shouldn't be here? TeaLover1996 ☏ 10:07, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: In dont know, that not my cup of tea. Focus on editing not people is my general thought. Qed237 (talk) 14:36, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
Speedy
Is a speedy keep the opposite of a speedy delete? TeaLover1996 ☏ 18:54, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: As it sounds, yes. Did you really have to ask that? You asked about trolling, this could be considered trolling. Qed237 (talk) 18:57, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- No I'd never troll you, or anyone, I was only wondering and you have confirmed what I thought, to add the bot archived some talk page messages and comments earlier, your edit worked Thanks and happy editing TeaLover1996 ☏ 19:02, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
U'haching Players
You deleted all my content which is totally accurate. Why? Terrible waste of my time and total bullying. I believe it was an attack. Where may I report such things? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6020:13B:59CF:327C:9730:8AC4 (talk) 22:53, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- I am sorry but you need to be more precise, what article? You were most likely reverted because you did not provide any source. Qed237 (talk) 00:06, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
All the players on U'Haching - Koepke, Erb, et al. Why not look to see if there is any validity to the correction instead of wantonly deleting things??? Wouldn't that make more sense? Again, I believe this to be an act of bullying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6020:13B:59CF:327C:9730:8AC4 (talk) 16:52, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Why was a lot of players removed? If a players contract expires, they are still at the club officially until 30 June. Qed237 (talk) 16:58, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Disrupt
Is repeatedly adding un–sourced content to an article disruptive? TeaLover1996 ☏ 10:08, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes...as is repeatedly asking questions you know the answers to. Theroadislong (talk) 10:22, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Theroadislong: If I knew the answer I wouldnt be asking TeaLover1996 ☏ 10:25, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: The policies are available for you to read. Why don't you? And then you will cease to give the impression of intentional disruption. Which incidentally is synonymous for trolling... which also answers another pointless question you previously asked. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 11:08, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: I am not trolling, focus on editing not attacking other editors, you have already been warned before TeaLover1996 ☏ 12:27, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Nonsense. Your repeated asking of easily answered questions smacks of low-level trolling designed to interrupt the usual flow of the 'paedia and keep yourself in constant eye-line. And repeating what other people have told you just because you think it sounds good is worthless- and obviously worthless- if you clearly do not understand what those words actually mean. If you actually listened to other editors instead of ignoring them, you would not- as you have been warned before- be the focus of so much deserved criticism. Know what I mean son? Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 12:36, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996 and Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: Both of you, calm down. Yes, TeaLover1996 should learn to be more independent and read the guidelines, but at the same time there is no need to "attack" him so strongly. There is something called "dont feed the troll" and if you get so upset with the questions you dont have to answer him at my talkpage, just leave it. Also the warnings on eachothers talkpage are just silly (in my mind), TeaLover1996 the "attack" against you is not that strong just leave it. And Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi you say do him not to revert your edits on your talkpage, while you at the same time restore a warning he removed on his talkpage? Seems a bit strange and label a header as trolling is no good either. If I were you, stop arguing and just remove the warnings on both talkpages. Qed237 (talk) 13:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, it would be nice if people could be sensible (BTW I didn't 'restore' the warning- it was two warnings for two instances of trolling). I did say I would stretch GF with him the other day- but that is a quid pro quo, of course, for his change of behaviour (when it happens). Cheers! As you say, it certainly livens up the talkpage Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 13:26, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- What do you mean stretch good faith there is no limit or extention to someone agf, you have to agf its not something that runs out TeaLover1996 ☏ 14:19, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Germany FC
Hi, someone has ruined the infobox at the article Germany national football team and I can't seem to find out how to fix it, can you help? TeaLover1996 ☏ 16:32, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: Thanks for letting me know, this was a good use of talkpage. It was a bracket error, when someone tried to change the team captain. Qed237 (talk) 16:36, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Great Thanks for the help. TeaLover1996 ☏ 16:37, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
WP:Twinkle
When an editor is viewing the history of an article, and at above the current version is, Rollback (AGF) Rollback and Rollback (VANDAL) is that because the user has enabled Twinkle in their preferences or does it appear their for all users? Regards --TeaLover1996 ☏ 16:45, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

British or American
Does Wikipedia mostly use American English on its articles TeaLover1996 (talk) 18:24, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- It depends. For guidance, read MOS:ENGVAR. Liz Read! Talk! 19:11, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: For most football articles (which seems to be where you do lots of editing), they're in British English, except for ones about American/Canadian teams, which are in American English, and Australian teams, which are in Australian English (I don't know the difference between British and Australian English). Joseph2302 (talk) 19:15, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Reverting entries
Hello my friend... Regarding 2015 Copa América Group C editions and reversions. The group's positions cannot be defined yet. Either the possibility of advance is shared among the 4 teams or not shown at all. 2 of them (maybe the third) will move on, we still don't know yet which. I want to be fair with all teams so I'm putting all 4 teams in blue and you keep reverting my editions, we should reach an agreement otherwise we will be doing this all day :P Krosto (talk) 20:03, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Krosto: I suggest you look at many other articles and how the module works. In the qualification column we display what happens on those positions and then the teams get statusletters if they have qualified or if they are eliminated. Look for example at UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group G, 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL), 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and many other pages. Also many editors have reverted your table edits, not only me. Qed237 (talk) 20:11, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Qed237: Yes, I've seen this before and I believe the module is not showing the data fairly when the event is in progress. It works fine when the info is final. Please check the current information, including the official source (Conmebol Standings) and verify that we can't assure the positions right now. With this in mind either we putting all 4 teams in blue (possibility to qualify) or no color code at all. Krosto (talk) 20:34, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Many Thanks
I've been on Wikipedia 8 - 9 months now, you have helped me whenever I have asked any questions, you have also notified me of mistakes I have made when asking questions or editing articles, and I'd like to say a big thank you, not only for being a good friend, but always remaining civil even when letting me know I have I done wrong and also helping me to the best of your ability. So thank you so much. . Thanks again TeaLover1996 (talk) 22:37, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Euro U21s
Very disturbed by your revert. Why on earth did you not just look it up yourself if you were concerned the numbers were fake? Please don't revert constructive edits unless you have a good reason, thanks. Number 57 22:57, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Number 57: It is not my job to go around and look for source for you and you know that. If unsourced it can be removed. Dont attack me when you were being lazy. Qed237 (talk) 22:59, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- You need to have a good reason for removing content. Did you seriously think what I was adding was wrong? Number 57 23:02, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Number 57: Hi, to comply with Wikipedia's policy on verifiability which I assume you know a lot about considering you are an admin, you need to add at least one credible reliable source to verify something and to give it ground to be mentioned on Wikipedia, unreliable content is likely to be removed. And remember when an editor adds content it is their sole responsibility to find sources, not other editors. You should be fully aware of this considering you are an administrator. Thanks and happy editing. TeaLover1996 (talk) 23:04, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: And you should be aware (I hope) that not everything needs a reference, only material "whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged". I assumed this would not be challenged (I didn't think anyone would seriously consider this a problem, but you learn something new every day). Try not to lecture experienced editors on basic stuff like this please. Number 57 23:09, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
@Number 57: Yes not everything needs a reference or source, however adding sources to material that isn't likely to be challenged improves the quality and credibility of the article and makes information much more reliable. Thank You TeaLover1996 (talk) 23:12, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Tags
what do the tags <noinclude> and </noinclude> do in an article? TeaLover1996 (talk) 23:49, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: WP:NOINCLUDE when you have things you done want to transclude you can use noinclude. For example text in a template that you dont want transferred to the article, like template documentation. Qed237 (talk) 20:09, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
NPOV and DUEWEIGHT
When there is an opinion on references relating to content that is added here, if one person has an opinion on it, and another person has a different opinion, do both opinions have to be included and one not left out to prevent bias? TeaLover1996 (talk) 19:53, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: No opinions should be included, we should report what sources say. If two sources say different things the article should reflect that. If there is an issue, I suggest taking it to article talkpage. Qed237 (talk) 20:11, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ah that clarifies it, once again your help is helping me improve myself. Cheers TeaLover1996 (talk) 20:13, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Trusting Users
One user commented that me having on my user page a list of users I trust is inappropriate as it possibly shows I only trust some users and not them all, is it bad for me to have that list on my user page? TeaLover1996 (talk) 07:09, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: It is not something I would have, but it is your choice and you are allowed to keep it. You can always add a note to it that you also trust others but those are the ones you turn to with questions (or something) or you can remove it. It is really your choice, not mine. Qed237 (talk) 08:01, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Anfield
Stadiums on Wikipedia have UEFA stadium categories. It's important for stadiums to have this represented. For example look at Camp Nou or Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. They are UEFA Category 4 Stadiums [1]
Anfield is a UEFA Category 3 stadium [2]
I don't know why you would remove the stars as they are widely used to represent the stadium standings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shreerajtheauthor (talk • contribs) 17:12, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Shreerajtheauthor (talk) 17:14, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Shreerajtheauthor: You must provide source when you edit, otherwise it might be removed. Qed237 (talk) 17:29, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Okay if I add this back to the same place in the Anfield article and include the this source [3] for reference would that be acceptable?
Also the Intro section only talks about phase 1 of the anfield expansion but leaves out details of phase 2. If I correct that and include appropriate sources would that work?
Thanks. Shreerajtheauthor (talk) 17:49, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- I think so, if the edits are reliable sourced, I have no problem with it. Qed237 (talk) 23:41, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Asking Questions
Its not trolling if someone asks too many questions is it? TeaLover1996 (talk) 23:34, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: It depends on the questions. If they are of the type "I am concerned about user X, are his edits okay?" or "Could you take a look at what is going on at article Z" or other edit-related questions it is not trolling. But if it is many question like "where do you live?", "how old are you?", "what is your favourite football team", "how do you feel about..." and other edits that takes focus away from editing can be considered trolling. Qed237 (talk) 23:40, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- So a question like my previous one about the infobox on the Germany national team article being ruined would be fine? TeaLover1996 (talk) 23:47, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: Yes that is a good question, where you notify an other editor of an issue you could not solve yourself. Qed237 (talk) 23:50, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Does asking for help mean I am not yet very independent? TeaLover1996 (talk) 23:51, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Tough question, but I would say no (but a small yes). If you try and find the answer yourself first but can not find an answer there is no problem in asking for help. Qed237 (talk) 23:53, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- You are highly independent but you may still ask questions if you don't know what to do, so yes you are right TeaLover1996 (talk) 23:55, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

2015 FIFA Women's World Cup at 23 June 2015
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you! User:Boyconga278 (talk) 00:02, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Boyconga278: Could you explain a couple of things for me? Why did I deserve a level 3 (of 4) for a single revert of you, do you know how it works? Ever heard of WP:DONTTEMPLATETHEREGULARS? How can you add positions in tournament ranking when thoe positions has not been set and may change? Seriously if you dont know how things work, stop putting a threat on me. This just made me laugh, you have some explaining to do. Qed237 (talk) 11:33, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
To summarize I made a list of my concerns regarding this warning (that I dont take seriously) and your edit:
- Why do you change to small text in infobox without explanation? We should not make small if we dont have to as readers may find it more difficult to read.
- Why did you add "Div col" when there was only two players on 5 goals? It is not that long so we need columns for that, wait until it is three or more players.
- The big/small D in "Div" is nothing to argue about, both is fine so I see not why you needed to change that
- Why did you add Nwft-template? At Template:Nwft/doc it clearly states it should not be used without substitution (subst). It would be best to use wikilinks if you want links. (The template code needs some work to perfect the subst).
- How could you add team positions when they are not known? Please look at User:Qed237/sandbox#2015 FIFA Women's World Cup where I keep track of the teams and their positions. You just need a quick look to see that Colombia may finish 14th (if they lose with 5 goals) and not South Korea like you added. And Brazil in 11th? They will be 9th or 10th depending on the result of Japan. I can not see what you were thinking there? Someone else alsop removed the teams after you adding them a second time.
- WP:ASG has no meaning to you? How could you say my edit was vandalism, perhaps you should read WP:VANDALISM to see what that actually is.
- How did you decide it was worth a level3? A high level of vandalism given when editors are notorius vandals and keeps on vandalising?
- Ever heard of WP:DONTTEMPLATETHEREGULARS? I am a major editor and if you dont understand my edit, talk to me instead of making a fool out of yourself given me the warning above.
@Boyconga278: Some answers to these questions would be lovely. Qed237 (talk) 12:43, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Boyconga278: Why give a level 3 warning when you only reverted Qed237 once, you only give a level 3 warning if you have already given a level 1 and level 2 warning before that, I don't know why you have given a level 3 warning straight away, also as Qed has said you shouldn't Template regular editors a short friendly message is preferred for frequent editors. Thank You TeaLover1996 (talk) 16:36, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: Thank you for info on when to warn, but this is really not your place to come and play authority. It is between me and him and I have already started talking to him and he should not be questioned again without having a chance to reply to me. Qed237 (talk) 16:50, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Bot Archiving
Will manually archiving messages disrupt the bot from doing it? TeaLover1996 (talk) 14:57, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: Not given much thought to it but I guess it is possible if the archive reaches maximum size or if you move on to a new archivnumber without updating the header for the bot. Qed237 (talk) 15:06, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- How would I update the header TeaLover1996 (talk) 15:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: You have a row for the parameter
|archive=
that says the name of the archive-page. As you can see it uses the parameter|counter=
towards the end that the bot himself ticks up when previous archive is full and he starts a new archive. Look for example in this diff where bot increase my counter when archive 12 got full and he continued in archive 13 (that the bot created). Currently you have counter at 12, saying to bot you have 12 archives but you have already yourself created archive 13 which may confuse the bot. Qed237 (talk) 15:27, 24 June 2015 (UTC)- I've edited what was there could you check I've done it right, and if not possibly change it and tell me what you did. TeaLover1996 (talk) 17:33, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

League table colors
Hi. Can you point me to the list of colors which are used in module League Tables? I have a query about the color for some of the states of the club. They might be worthy for discussion in WP:FOOTY. Brudder Andrusha (talk) 21:49, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Brudder Andrusha: Hi. The way the colors are used is explained in the League season MOS, Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/League season#Table formatting and has been discussed many times. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I will also add the hex codes for the colors if you want in a second. Qed237 (talk) 22:04, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Level | Green | Blue | Yellow | Red | Black |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Level 1 | BBF3BB | BBF3FF | FFFFBB | FFBBBB | BBBBBB |
Level 2 | CCF9CC | CCF9FF | FFFFCC | FFCCCC | CCCCCC |
Level 3 | DDFCDD | DDFCFF | FFFFDD | FFDDDD | DDDDDD |
Level 4 | EEFFEE | EEFFFF | FFFFEE | FFEEEE | EEEEEE |
White | White | White | White | White | White |
Here are the hex colors. Qed237 (talk) 22:05, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your quick input. The question I have deals with color Black - which from the assignment is for clubs which have Teams does not play a full season and/or their results are expunged or void. While I understand its assignment, the state when a condition is not this but "Merged after completing a season with a name change" IMO is not a black/gray highlight. I noticed from your color table there is a column for Extra Color. Maybe this should be the color. But I'm not sure. This is where I think a bit of input from our WP:FOOTY folks might be worthwhile. There might be some other situation as well. Brudder Andrusha (talk) 00:20, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Brudder Andrusha: Okay I understand your "issue" here. I guess black has been used to show what has happened after the season as well, but the question is if it should. The extra color was mainly developed for the special occasion when a club qualifies for club world cup, but I think it is possible to use in this situation also. Going to FOOTY for input might be a good idea and as you say it applies to other situations as well so feel free to open up a discussion. Qed237 (talk) 11:02, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- Good Stuff. Will do so shortly. Brudder Andrusha (talk) 11:46, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
Bad Editing
If a user has edited an article and they have done something wrong, and they are not notified or warned about it, is it possible they may believe that editing in that way is good and possibly do similar editing in other articles? Regards TeaLover1996 (talk) 22:13, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- I can not know what they think. Also if it is an IP there is a good chance they never read their talkpage. Qed237 (talk) 22:15, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Is a Conflict of Interest on Wikipedia, when someone works for a company, and their company has an article on Wikipedia, is it true that person may want to edit that article in the way they want rather than what Wikipedia wants and the two conflict with each other? TeaLover1996 (talk) 22:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: I guess, it is always hard to stay neutral for someone writing about themselves or their company, but some editors can manage that. Qed237 (talk) 22:22, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Arsenal Userbox
The gold colour features prominently in Arsenal's crest, where it is the colour of the cannon. It also helps differentiate the word "Arsenal" in the userbox, which is a link to the wiki article on the club. BlueSquadronRaven 05:15, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- I took that particular shade from a sample from an image of the club's crest, which I took from the club's website. With respect, the userbox has been around for ten years, has nearly 200 people using it, and has had precisely one complaint about its colour scheme. I'm leaving it as is. BlueSquadronRaven 21:56, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, WP:COLOR isn't going to be enforced against a userbox located in userspace which will never, ever be used in an article, when it is meant to apply to articles and article navigation templates, but thanks for playing. I will entertain no further discussion on this subject now. My final suggestion to you is that if you do not like my userbox, do what I did: learn to create your own, because there is nothing that says you have to use mine!

Patronizing
I feel sometimes like I am being patronized, I do one thing wrong and I get chunks tore out of me for it. Sometimes I feel sick. TeaLover1996 (talk) 19:24, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- @TeaLover1996: I can understand that it does not feel good, but I can assure you that no one is "after you" they are just trying to make you understand. You have been making a few mistakes and other editor have tried talking to you so a block was a possibility but that does not have to mean much in the future as long as you learn from your experience. Now you have some time to calm down, read the guidelines and become an even better editor in the future. Qed237 (talk) 21:54, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
Re: 2017–18 UEFA Champions league and Europa League
Hmmm, I guess if you can compute the maximum possible coefficient for each association (although that may be "original research"?), you can kind of create the articles for those tournaments. I actually once thought about it doing it starting from June/July, but ultimately for me it was just too much work and too little payoff (especially for those minnow associations), plus I think the articles at this current state are likely to get nominated for deletion by the other editors (since it will still contain a lot of "champions of association ranked 40, TBD"). So last time I created the articles in December, when I only need to compute the maximum possible coefficient for around 20 associations and a majority of the berths are certain. So it is your choice, but don't say I haven't warned you. Chanheigeorge (talk) 14:52, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
- Well, I guess the counter-argument is that the content you are going to put up there can be found in other articles: the access list is identical to the 2016–17 season, while the current coefficient ranking can be found in UEFA coefficient. Again, I personally do not see a problem with what you plan to write, but other editors may think otherwise. Chanheigeorge (talk) 15:45, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
