Thanks for the heads up! When I have time I'm going to read though the article top to bottom, identifying or fixing any issues I see. Then I'll weigh in on the FAC discussion. Cheers. ← George ^talk 08:05, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Me too. At first I was lke "What the hell? I just finished everything! Who is this person?" It turns out it was the person who makes the decisions :) . I'm pretty confident in Qwest but a couple more things came up. They are minor but we are going for best of the best so another round of reviews on both articles is just fine with me (assuming they don't get stopped on lack of reviewers). I'm going to go through Sounders again and make any minor changes to formating but I'll keep you in the loop. I don't know if I will find anything but I want it to be perfect. I saw that you addressed some of the random stuff I brought up so I asusme everything will be just fine.

Also, do you know off the top of your head how to format the week-by-week table seen at MLS '09? It needs to be in the MLS '10 article.

Bring on 2010. Looking forward to March, 25!Cptnono (talk) 10:23, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. I just copy and pasted a couple things in and removed the redirect a few weeks ago to start it off.Cptnono (talk) 22:17, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to get so much crap for that Josh Brown line! Easy mistake to make when you are toying with multiple sources, articles, and beers at the same time. Thanks for the feedback on the awkward sentences. I'll fiddle with them and see what happens.Cptnono (talk) 09:12, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yo. Would you mind taking a look at the Layout and construction seciton of Qwest? I found a series of sources I couldn't ignore even though it is so far along in the FaC process. Any quick thoughts? Also, let me know if you need anything else with SFC. I tried makingsome changes (one of them was wrong!) but it has really come along.Cptnono (talk) 10:11, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really sorry, but I'm just too busy right now to help with more copyedits. If you ever see the "open for business" sign at the top of my page, however, please feel free to ask again! Good luck with the article. Scartol • Tok 17:45, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You (wikilink to some cussing here)! I saw that copyright tag sometime ago and spaced it completely. Excellent call on the State of Football image. Qwest is in PR but has had better luck with a couple guys doing minor copyedits (I have no idea where one of them came from but he is awesome). Schmid is languishing at requests for feedback. As a fan, click on some of those sources since I expect him to bring up some good talent and play them hard in CONCACAF.Cptnono (talk) 10:57, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The teacher in Malcolm in the Middle needed some quick work so I threw that in to remind myself. I actually did get to it. I only realized a month or so ago how useful user pages are!Cptnono (talk)

I made a request this afternoon. Thanks for the nudge!Cptnono (talk) 23:41, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

		Football (soccer) barnstar
		For getting the Seattle Sounders FC article promoted to featured article status, and for your outstanding work and diligence during both FAC discussions, I hereby award you the Football Barnstar! ← George talk 05:50, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just echoing the above. I noticed the improvements to the article a couple of weeks ago, just never got around to commenting on them. Nice job. --Bobblehead ^(rants) 10:16, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another ditto. Nice work. Just to continue the love fest, we can't forget about Bobblehead! And (it being the New Year and all):

I've made a new proposal at WT:FOOTY to restrict use of flags to mean sporting nationality and only sporting nationality - i.e. to use them to signify international representation. This has the added benefit of being easy to source, and removes the current ambiguity in the meaning of the flag - no more questions as to whether the flag by a player signifies a birthplace, an ethnicity, an adopted nationality or an international cap. Knepflerle (talk) 19:33, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your very mature reaction to my post on the Sounders page and your subsequent apology. Consider it accepted, and I'm moving on with absolutely no hard feelings. I'm sorry if I came across as uneccesarily angry too. Not that you need to know anything about me and my life, but I was in pain having had my wisdom teeth out the day before, and I was having a very bad day, which might explain things slightly! I know that we both just want to make all the American soccer articles as good as they can be; we'll disagree on how that is achieved, of course, but the ultimate goal is the same. So, thanks again and keep up your excellent work :) --JonBroxton (talk) 04:19, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Heh... looks like we were posting simultaneously! --JonBroxton (talk) 03:21, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added it now :)

Any news on the collapsible boxes? WFCforLife (talk) 01:44, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've yet to read his comments on your talk page- I shall do so now. To be fair, while I was disappointed that he began the discussion with a mention of TfD, he has done the right thing by initiating discussion. Anyway, I'm going to post a short notification on the main MOS page, pointing them towards the discussion at WP:ACCESS. Hopefully a few uninvolved editors will clarify the purpose of the guideline, and we can take things from there. WFCforLife (talk) 02:08, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To fully answer your question about MOS:COLLAPSE, I agree with the rationale behind your proposal. There shouldn't be a ban on these, and the wording should be changed to reflect that. Although at the same time we should ensure that important information is accessible somehow.

This FAC is one that I'm following very closely. Now, the way that I use the template, the only things that are hidden are the identities of individual goalscorers, the attendance, and the referee's name. If similar match-detail requirements were applied to football/soccer season articles, as are being applied to basketball, we would probably mention every goalscorer and red card anyway. If these are mentioned, and attendance is visible, then these collapsible boxes are supplimentary, and therefore should be allowed. WFCforLife (talk) 02:55, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On February 2, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article 2009 U.S. Open Cup Final, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Heh. Sorry. I was home sick with the flu today and got on a roll. Hopefully I didn't make too many errors in my speed/fever. :) --Bobblehead ^(rants) 04:05, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's all yours. My eyes are a bit cross-eyed at the moment. Going to give them a rest for the evening. --Bobblehead ^(rants) 04:14, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. I really started just piecing together bits towards the end so sourcing and grammar need work ASAP. I also failed to get the last month or so in. Cptnono (talk) 07:09, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We are all fans and this is a sports article. It sucks that someone has to go reverting over something that has been discussed in depth. I probably shouldn't have been so quick to threaten edit warring on my end. Good call on the message.Cptnono (talk) 09:37, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For helping the 2010 Seattle Sounders FC season article and helping me learn about Wikipedia, I hereby award you this cookie! Antoinefcb 01:37, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for support and nominating Seattle Sounders FC supporters for a DYK.Sid1977 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:25, 25 February 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I have reviewed the article 2009 U.S. Open Cup Final that you submitted for GA nomination. Comments can be found here. Cheers, -- BigDom 09:26, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
