arsenal_2111 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Glad to see great progress been made since the last time I was on. I have not as much time as I used to and probably will not until I am finished my work experience at the end of August. Weekends are mainly the only time I can contribute at the moment (I know this is not the weekend before anyone says anything ). Last weekend was an exception though due to a certain rugby match.

muncherdave Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think it would be great if you could try to enforce some sort of standard layout for certain types of pages like the Club Guides for example. Hoffenheims page for example has info like Stadium Facilities and Transfer Budgets whilst other pages do not. This is handy info for someone who is looking to start a new game and it would be nice to see all teams pages like that and following the same structure for neatness and continuity. If all pages were like that perhaps people would use it as a guide for picking a club or nation to go manage when they are unsure. If you decide that this is a good idea it would be better to put it in place sooner rather than later, so that there are less pages to edit. I like Landon Donovans page btw, it's certainly not professional but it made me chuckle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

small Mac Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Yeah good post, agree with it too. Alan, is it possible to revert an article to a previous edit, or is that something only admins can do? (referring to the Landon Donovan article) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit page screen. [[image:Image Name|Right/Left/Centred/leave blank if no justification is needed|image size (eg. 120px)]].
