The Football Association of Selangor (Malay: Persatuan Bolasepak Selangor) enters a team in Malaysian football competitions to represent the state of Selangor - can anyone tell me what hell is this? This is rubbish English. Shame on this person. Go wax up your English, then you are qualified to write here in Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Matthew Timbang (talk • contribs) 14:52, 28 December 2006 (UTC).
- What's the problem with that sentence? It's both factually and gramatically correct. The previous version of the opening sentence stated that "Selangor FA ... is a Malaysian football club ...". That's both factually wrong and very misleading. "Selangor FA" is the abbreviated name for the state football association of Selangor. It is not a football club, but a regional association. To imply that Selangor FA is a football team and nothing more is quite simply wrong. It's an association which engages in activities to promote football in the state of Selangor. Among these activities are organising and managing the team which competes under the association's name in the Malaysian Super League (and the fact that this is the most visible and possibly the most important of their activities is reflected in the fact that the rest of the article concentrates on this). But to imply that Selangor FA is only a team and nothing more (along the lines of, say, Johor FC, which is not a state FA team) is extremely misleading. The wording of the opening sentence noted above helps make this distinction clear. Perhaps more information could be included later in the article to futher clarify this. But this wording for the opening sentence immediately helps clarify for the reader that this is not a club team, but a state football association which organises a representative side.
