[edit] Player articles

  • At the moment there's only two articles for the whole squad, and I think that's pretty lousy. I'm going to start writing stubs based upon soccerbase stats, like the Colin McMenamin one I made earlier. Any anecdotal contributions to these (or assistance in creating stubs) would be nice.
  • The current squad list doesn't match the recommended template. Once the player articles reach a decent number, it would be good to switch to the new style. See Talk:Arsenal F.C.#Squad templates for the rationale for conversion.

[edit] Better colour for kit

How does one change the kit to look like the real one? I can create a bitmap that looks pretty authentic but I have no idea how to upload or change it.

Here's one way, but I haven't ever put it into practice. What you need to do is create a PNG file that matches the current kit's dimensions. Then upload it with the filename Kit body #####.png where ##### is your own choice of word. Then change the kit body filename in the infobox from _yellowvertical to _#####. Make sure you keep a white border. (See also Category:Football kit templates).

Thanks for your help Slumgum. I have uploaded a new version which I think is quite close. It seems to work ok.

Yes, it looks much nearer the real thing now. Good work. The new (AC Milan style) away kit should be easy to add, whenever it becomes official.

[edit] Maik Taylor?

The list of former players includes Maik Taylor. Should it be Mark Taylor? I don't remember Maik T playing for Salop, and his linked profile makes no mention of it.

I'd always believed it to be true, but I can't find any evidence, other than all those websites which copy Wikipedia. It's probably best to remove his name. SLUMGUM  yap  stalk  22:16, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A note on British English

British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. --Siva1979Talk to me 05:10, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it's right but "are" looks cock.  sʟυмɢυм • т • c  21:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Official colours

No Colour RGB Hex
1   039 081 163 2751A3
2   238 171 031 EEAB1F
3   028 052 098 1C3462

This release from the club shows the official club colours, which are used in the new badge and kit.

I have found the hex codes for the colours and listed them in the table, left.
