[edit] "Stupid edit war"

Fair enough, stop the stupid edit war. Instead, I'll bring the discussion here. Can you please explain why you're reverting good edits?

1 - Timelines should start with the oldest at the top. Look at the Wikipedia:Timeline standards guidelines as I suggested in the edit summary. Every football featured list is this way, and others should follow those same standards. Just because UEFA Cup was/is wrong - I tried to also correct that, but it was also reverted back. 2 - Scores should use unspaced endashes. See WP:DASH 3 - Years should also use unspaced endashes. Again see WP:DASH. And what relevance does linking to 1965, have on the Champions League final? None, I would suggest.

Instead of reverting, good edits in line with policy, can you please give good reasoning for the reversions here. Thank you. Peanut4 (talk) 11:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I am not going to revert anymore because this is not a big issue, but I will say what I have been saying which is: A) recent seasons at the top because readers are more likely to click on recent seasons than seasons from the 1950's B) the old version looks better especially on a low resolution screen, also the small font with the word Details underneath the years looks more proper. Unfortunately the UEFA Cup article's list currently looks A LOT better than this list for the more important tournament. I wish they would look the same. --Tocino 02:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I've corrected the UEFA Cup version to also have the most recent season at the bottom. All timelines should be this way. Your version would also mean having to count from bottom up, in order to work out whether a tournament win is a team's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Peanut4 (talk) 02:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
