2026 tourneys

[edit]

Hey, hope you are well. Wanted to kick start the 2026 tournament(s), whenever they take place. A quick search showed nothing confirmed yes, wanted to hear if you have something already? Kante4 (talk) 14:22, 31 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

hey mate, how you going?
I've actually been very busy with some real world things (jobsearching, a surgery, and I'm starting a new job tomorrow), so haven't really had time or headspace for much.
I'll try to have a look though.
--SuperJew (talk) 15:49, 31 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
All good so far (just getting older and older). Happy new year and good luck with all the things coming up. If you/i find something, let's use this here again. ;) Kante4 (talk) 13:50, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Kante4: Sorry, was so busy IRLing, forgot about this thread. Let's see what we can dig up:

Forgot to answer (again...). Ok, so the series replaces most of those tourneys? Kante4 (talk) 14:51, 31 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
I think between the Series and things like UEFA Nations League, the need and opportunity is getting smaller for such tourneys. --SuperJew (talk) 21:37, 31 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hey just circled back to this now. We were a bit busy here. Do you want to create it retroactively? --SuperJew (talk) 21:20, 29 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hey, all good, just make sure you are safe. Honestly, with lack of information and stuff, my interest went down a lot. Kante4 (talk) 11:18, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thank goodness we personally pulled through okay. Hope the situation will stay stable. I'll try to create it when I have some time. --SuperJew (talk) 17:33, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Short descriptions

[edit]

You objected to my recent edits to 2020–21 in Australian soccer, and several similarly-titled articles. As per WP:SDNONE, "some article titles are sufficiently self-explanatory to English language speakers worldwide that a descriptive annotation would not be helpful. Such articles can be given the short description 'none'." In my opinion, the "[year] in Australian soccer" articles meet that criterion. — LucasBrown 01:55, 24 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

The annotation added the number of season it is, which is a useful thing to see at a glance in the search. It's not repeating the title, but adding to it. --SuperJew (talk) 03:45, 25 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Personnel templates

[edit]

There are several reasons why a player can be added to a club's inactive list, with the ones defined publicly at the moment being season-ending injuries or retirements, and the most recent definition given by the AFL of a long-term injury is a 6+ week injury/illness. They are not one and the same (or one the subset of another, as you claimed I was trying to say) – a season-ending injury is going to be a long-term injury by defintion more often than not, so there is no harm whatsoever in marking a player as such, but that is not the only reason why a player can be moved to the inactive list, and a player can have a long-term injury without needing be transferred to the inactive list, so it wouldn't be doubling up; not marking a player like Jamie Elliott as having a long-term injury (when we have the ability to) implies that he is inactive for reasons other than injury. All of the personnel templates are formatted in this way, so unless you'd like to discuss any alternatives as to how to format the legend, given the amount of time and effort that I put into cleaning up these templates, I'd appreciate if you kept things consistent rather than singling out and protecting one club's template (which would be rather hypocritical given certain accusations of 'owning') and formatting it differently from the others based on a different interpretation. 4TheWynne (talk contribs) 16:14, 28 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the breakdown. No need for accusations of ownership here; I'm just trying to make sure the template is as concise as possible for the reader. Also, it makes sense that I follow and edit my club's pages.
To the actual point: if a player being on the inactive list already indicates they are sidelined for the season (allowing for mid-season signings), what specific value does adding the LTI tag bring to the reader? If 'Inactive' handles the list management status, doesn't adding 'LTI' on top of it create unnecessary and confusing double-markup? --SuperJew (talk) 19:40, 28 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
I think I've already answered that – it indicates to readers that the players are inactive due to long-term injuries; if we were talking about adding multiple symbols, I could maybe understand (even if I still didn't necessarily agree with) your point about concision, but it's reasonably self-explanatory and hardly confusing. 4TheWynne (talk contribs) 03:37, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
But they are two separate list management mechanisms. The Long-Term Injury (LTI) list allows a club to elevate a rookie, while the Inactive list allows a club to replace a player entirely via a draft (such as the Mid-Season Draft).
The point of the squad template is to reflect current list status, not the reasoning. The reason why a player was placed on the inactive list is irrelevant to the squad listing page. If a reader is interested in knowing, it should be written out in prose on the player's page. --SuperJew (talk) 08:40, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
I disagree that the point of the template has always strictly been about list status and not the reasoning, given retirements are another reason for players to be added to the inactive list. You might not personally care why, but the reason's not irrelevant at all – as much as I'd love if everyone contributed to player prose across the league so that readers could read about it, in the meantime, it is much easier to mark them on the template; the templates now source the official injury lists as well, which include players that are out with season-ending injuries, so we've been marking all players with 6+ week injuries, whether active or not, based on that. 4TheWynne (talk contribs) 09:24, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Do you mark every single reason that a player is put on the inactive list? Mark a couple of players in the AFLW with 🤰🏼 or maybe mark a player with 🎓 ? Anyways, the main point is you're using the same symbol for two different things - one that the player is injured (and therefore was place on the inactive list) and two that the player is on the long-term injury list. --SuperJew (talk) 11:54, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
No need for smartarse comments here; as a matter of fact, yeah, we will be marking AFLW players who are inactive due to pregnancy, just not with an emoji. And yes, the symbol's being used that way because we're focusing on the (length of the) injury, not the list mechanism. 4TheWynne (talk contribs) 14:54, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Sorry to put it bluntly, but that sounds quite ridiculous. In the end you'll get a legend so overbloated, it won't be worth anything. --SuperJew (talk) 20:14, 30 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Both legends only have the six elements, which is pretty sensible, so no, I'd say that's a bit of an exaggeration. 4TheWynne (talk contribs) 08:23, 31 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Well, as long as you say so. Project AFL 4TW :) --SuperJew (talk) 09:01, 31 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Canton of Iracoubo

[edit]

Hi. This is just a notification telling you that this article appears to have been destubbed after the end of the contest, which ran on British Summer Time, which I believe is UTC+1. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 01:27, 1 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

To be 100% honest it was actually destubbed 2 hours before the end of the contest, only the "Save" button was clicked late as I fell asleep literally on the computer after pulling an all-nighter the previous night to trade blows in Venezuela with you ;)
But anyways yup as I wrote, not trying to count it for the competition, not putting it on the Entries page. Also it wouldn't help anyway - in both Venezuela and French Guiana I was pipped by too much at the finish line. --SuperJew (talk) 03:15, 1 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Sorry. I originally didn't read your edit summary at the main page and thought you weren't aware. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 03:20, 1 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
That's okay. I was so exhausted it split into two edits as I forgot to paste the article name in the first. Well done sniping Venezuela on the finish line. --SuperJew (talk) 03:22, 1 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, and good game to you too. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 03:38, 1 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Draft:List of English women's football transfers winter 2020–21

[edit]

Hi SuperJew, I've been working on Draft:List of English women's football transfers winter 2020–21 recently - please could you take a look over it and see if it's okay? I saw you created some of the other lists, which is why I'm asking :) RossEvans19 (talk) 16:22, 17 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the work. I left editing English women's football transfers lists after the fiasco of List of English women's football transfers summer 2024. Your draft seems to be in line with how they do it there now, though I think it's patently wrong. --SuperJew (talk) 22:27, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Ah, that's a shame - thanks for checking it over though! :) RossEvans19 (talk) 13:00, 21 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Shahar Nakav

[edit]

Hi there. I just promoted Shahar Nakav to prep at DYK. The one thing I see that might be a blocker when it get moved into queue is that the lead is very short. I'd suggest expanding the lead by a couple sentences, thanks! Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:27, 22 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! Here I expanded the lede. --SuperJew (talk) 17:44, 22 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Please wait until transfers are officially announced (and properly sourced) before updating articles... GiantSnowman 10:42, 24 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

It was officially announced in a reliable newspaper, as the sourcing shows. --SuperJew (talk) 12:58, 24 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Except you made your edits on 17 July (i.e. 7 days ago, and before today's official announcement) and did not cite any sources with your edit... GiantSnowman 16:46, 24 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, what is wrong with this edit's source? --SuperJew (talk) 21:47, 25 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Shahar Nakav

[edit]

On 30 July 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Shahar Nakav, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Israeli footballer Shahar Nakav played in the 2015 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in memory of her older sister, who died of cancer earlier that year? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Shahar Nakav. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (Shahar Nakav), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.
