[edit] Juventus F.C.

Has it won as it meet its target and it has the most votes --Kingjamie 17:19, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

So far today neither I nor Aabha have been around to update it, but I'll update it now.

Anyone can update it when a new article is to be selected (each Sunday), To select a new AID the following articles need to be updated:

• Template:Collab-soccer
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Article improvement drive/History
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Article improvement drive
• Template:FootballAID
• Template:FAIDuser (which should be posted on the user talk page of those who voted in the past week, plus those who voted for the winner)

and Template:FootballAID should be removed from the old collaboration and put on the new one. Oldelpaso 21:04, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

That should read Template:FootballIDRIVECurrent, not Template:FootballAID. Oldelpaso 14:45, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I've now transcluded the current colloboration onto Template:FAIDuser, if it works properly it shouldn't need manual updating anymore. Oldelpaso 16:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't work, the subst'ed template changes. Back to manual updates. Oldelpaso 13:23, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I think I've fixed it, using <includeonly> and <noinclude>. Hope that helps. – Elisson • T • C • 13:34, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Or no... – Elisson • T • C • 13:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I believe I've fixed it now. – Elisson • T • C • 13:39, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Oldelpaso 13:50, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just to clarify

If a nomination doesn't get 3 votes in a week, is it deleted from the list? The Bayern Munich Junior/women have been there two days after they needed the three votes, so should I just delete them? Kingfisherswift 10:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Nominations which do not get the required number of votes should be moved to Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Article improvement drive/Removed Oldelpaso 11:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Cool, cheers. Kingfisherswift 13:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opt-out list

There's a few people for whom I post Template:FAIDuser on their talk page pretty much every week. I guess in these cases they already know about the AID and don't need reminding. So, if you do not wish to have

appearing on your talk page when a new AID is selected, put your name here. Oldelpaso 12:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Biography

Let us know if you happen to pick an article on a person and we'll alert our members! plange 05:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

An inter-project collaboration is a great idea, plange. Ta.  Slumgum T. C.   20:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Change to fortnightly?

There has been a general decline in the number of editors working on the current AID each week, and I don't think it is attracting enough attention to justify making a new selection each week. Currently we only have two nominations, of which the leader has only 2 votes, and the current selection has only been worked on by 3 editors thus far. Perhaps the selection should be made fortnightly rather than weekly, thoughts? Oldelpaso 16:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Should give it a couple of weeks to see if the drought continues, or it could cause some bother if there are a lot of nominations with a fortnightly cleanup. That or all the football articles are now perfect ;). Archibald99 01:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Selection quandary

On the face of it Tobias Linderoth is due to be selected, but User:Dk-fck's only contribution is to make that vote, which strikes me as weird. Removing that vote would result in Tottenham Hotspur F.C. being selected. Oldelpaso 10:39, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I figured I'd solve the situation by voting for one of the articles myself. Spurs are likely to be a topic of interest to more editors than Linderoth (biographies tend to attract less attention when selected than clubs, unless its someone iconic like Pele), so I voted for Spurs. Oldelpaso 10:45, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Football Stadiums

I've seen quite a few football stadium articles and there isn't much in them. If there are any articles to focus on, it's the stadium articles. Kingjeff 11:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number of votes needed

Just curious: the articles on Volkswagen Arena, Weserstadion, Åge Hareide, and Michel Platini were nominated on the same week. On their second week, the former three need at least 2 more votes, but the latter, which was nominated after the former three, needs 3 more. Why is this? T.I.A. --ChaChaFut 02:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

The date is extended by a week for every 3 votes. When Platini got three votes the date was extended, so it will be up for two weeks, whereas the others will be removed after a week if they do not get more votes, note the dates. There's probably a far clearer explanation somwhere else, try the archive. Oldelpaso 19:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stadium articles

It's a shame that the stadium articles I've nominated didn't get enough votes since those are the soccer articles that really need a lot of work on. Kingjeff 19:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Old supported artcles

Can people please add this ({{FootballIDRIVEpast}}) to the talk pages of old articles supported by the FootballDRIVE as it tells users which articles have been supported by the FootballDRIVE. Kingjamie 18:17, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
