I had added the template to get people who may know to help cus the article says the league was second tier and UEFA Europa League says third tier, until 1999 and this is for 1981, and so one of them needs to be fixed, but User:The Rambling Man has said to start a discussion here instead, so can anyone help? 174.77.115.26 (talk) 01:02, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Look at the reference in the UEFA Europa League article. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 01:08, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I have looked at the reference and left you a message there. 174.77.115.26 (talk) 01:20, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It appears the usage in the Europa League article is poorly referenced and that has no bearing here at all. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 01:36, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * k, so how do we fix that article? Can we use reference from here? 174.77.115.26 (talk) 01:41, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 01:42, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I was trying to find information in https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/history/ but that source is difficult to find information in, I have noticed that this article also uses https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/feb/14/europa-league-is-back-more-than-ever-competition-to-savour-round-of-32-arsenal but to support the opposite claim, 2nd not 3rd, so perhaps all we need to do is change 3rd to 2nd in that article or will that make someone revert me? maybe just remove the sentence in that article? what do you think? 174.77.115.26 (talk) 01:50, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The source makes no kind of claim over whether it's second or third tier really. If it was me, I'd just leave it.  The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 01:51, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So should we change reference for sentence "It was the second-tier competition of European club football, ranking below the UEFA European Cup." in this article or just remove the reference or entire sentence? 174.77.115.26 (talk) 01:54, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No this article is fine, as I said all along. It has an RS backing up the text.  Whatever you want to do in any other article is up to you.  The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 01:56, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * But you said above, "The source makes no kind of claim over whether it's second or third tier really." how can this support the sentence "It was the second-tier competition of European club football, ranking below the UEFA European Cup." in the background section, this is why I asked if we should use a differrent reference for that sentence. 174.77.115.26 (talk) 01:58, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

The source says "This season’s round of 32 is arguably the strongest since the Uefa Cup was rebranded in 2009 and should help the second-tier tournament shed its second-rate reputation". It's fine for this article. If you have other articles to fix, fine, but I'm not interested in them right now. Good luck with them, but this article is reliably sourced per WP:V and WP:RS. Cheers.

 * hmmm the reference is from 2018 but everyone agrees it is 2nd tier after 1999 the question is was it 3rd tier in 1981! the confusion is from 1971 to 1999 and the source says nothing about that, but I will let you sleep and not change anything. Maybe someone else will stop by to help. 174.77.115.26 (talk) 02:08, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
