Talk:2011–12 UEFA Europa League

Orphaned references in 2011–12 UEFA Europa League
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 2011–12 UEFA Europa League's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "regulations": From List of top-division football clubs in UEFA countries:  From 2009–10 UEFA Europa League:  From UEFA Super Cup:  From 2010–11 UEFA Europa League: Regulations of the UEFA Europa League 2010/11 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:20, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Erm, at this moment in time there are five English clubs! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.236.40 (talk) 17:54, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

"Winners of match X" or "Team A/Team B" ?
Peejay has reverted saying the draw was done with numbers but the match 35, match 38 etc used in the article formed absolutely no part of the draw so I don't buy that argument. Teams were split into groups per here. Five seeds, five non seeds. UEFA then drew numbers 1 to 5 for seeds and 1 to 5 for non seeds and simply paired each number in each group as you'll see if you click on the relevant UEFA page and especially if you click "replay draw." You'll also see from that that UEFA used a "team A/team B" format rather than a "winners of match X" format and it's obvious to see why. It's much easier if you're looking for your team's opponent(s) to see them at a glance rather than have to further hunt above for "winners of match whatever" something which violates the spirit of WP:EASTEREGG. I believe we should go with the format which UEFA themselves use, not one seemingly invented by Wikipedia editors which is contrary to what UEFA themselves do.

 * It's hardly "contrary" to what UEFA did, it's just a different way. However, I accept that I jumped into the discussion without checking my facts and you're right that UEFA did not assign numbers to the 2nd qualifying round games when conducting the draw for the 3rd qualifying round. Nevertheless, including the names of two teams in a space only designed for one name has inevitably meant that the article looked extremely ugly before I restored the match numbers, so I suggest we keep the numbers for neatness' sake alone. – PeeJay 12:03, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a minor dispute really. We'll obviously not agree on this so I've asked for more input from Wikiproject football. I really believe the other way is much better as if I want to see who my team plays in the next round I can see that straightaway. I don't have to mess around looking at the previous round and we should be making it easy for the reader. Valenciano (talk) 12:12, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Group H qualification
Strange as it may seem, Braga have qualified despite not being in first place. If they win or draw against Brugge, or if Birmingham don't win, Braga will have more points than both Birmingham and Maribor, meaning they are qualified. It they loose against Brugge, and Birmingham win, Braga and Birmingham are both on ten points in which case the head-to-head results are used as tie breakers. Braga having won both their games against Birmingham will therefore finish second in this senario as well. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:12, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

top scorers
andy johnson has scored more then 5 goals, you should make it explicit therefore that preciding rounds prior to the group stage do not count — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.4.150.230 (talk) 22:05, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
