2010 Roster
That Thiago Silva isn't Tiago Treichel, User;Zombie (blocked) is wrong. Thiago Silva is a student of NIAT and born in Brasília. Matthew_hk  t  c  16:37, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Moot point as neither is on the current roster. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:09, 17 January 2011 (UTC)


 * But many football data site already think they were the same people, such as worldfootball. Seems transfer-market-web and User:Zombie always provide wrong information and poisoning the accuracy of wikipedia and brainless people use wrong info, on wikipedia/transfer-market-web as "reliable" reference. Here is the originasl 2010 roster.  Matthew_hk   t  c  17:17, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

2011 roster
i have a couple questions on what Mutanda Kwesele national flag should be. This is the press release by fc edmonton "Kwesele is a 24-year-old native of Mufulira, Zambia but the young American now calls Seattle, Washington home." http://www.fcedmonton.com/content/fc-edmonton-adds-four-more. Should we change it, based on the info above. Or should we wait for more information to be made available. Hugo1009 (talk) 20:08, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * In the absence of a declared national team affiliation, standard practice is to use the country of birth. He does call America home - he has lived in the Seattle for years and attended college there - but he's still Zambian. I've lived in America for six years, but I'm still English. JonBroxton (talk) 20:19, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Reluctantly agree with Jon. When the official roster is announced it should have an article on him and it will declare his nationality. Also, FIFA may have an article on him at some point as well. They trump passports when declaring nationality of footballers. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Where in the world are the player numbers coming from? They're unreferenced. Is someone pulling them off jersey's worn during exhibition play? http://www.fcedmonton.com/content/2011-roster lists ten players with numbers. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I wasn't sure how to reference each one without cluttering the roster table. Hence why I put the note with the link to the official match preview site from WSA Winnipeg. Trying to use the official site is like trying to use a map made of 1986 of Berlin. I've yet to figure out why the team does not have the entire roster. However, I am not a soccer fan normally, so perhaps transactions aren't as well noted as the other 4 major sports in North America. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 00:55, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Nicknames
References for those? --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:52, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Criteria for notable former players
This edit has almost every player listed as a notable former player. However, many of the players don't even meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines in that they don't have articles. Other team articles have criteria for inclusion. Generally the criteria should be a minimum number of caps for the team, notability on some other grounds such as national team play or a significant achievement for the side. I won't impose criteria but I will continue to revert obviously poor additions such as the one made earlier. Please come up with a criteria and stick to it. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:32, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

COI Editor
I see you tagged the article with a COI. I don't disagree. Perhaps we could get a statement from the editor who raised the concern:. The statement will help us determine if we have to revert the content, or place a connected contributor or connected contributor (paid) at the top of the talk page.

Source for founding date (day and month)
Would anyone be able to help me find a source for the founding date of November 10, 2009? Please let me know what you think. BLAIXX 18:22, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The CBC reported in 2017: "FC Edmonton was one of the founding teams of the NASL in November 2009" but no actual date is listed.
 * This article from November 23, 2009 curiously does not list Edmonton along with the other 9 "founding teams".
 * It was on February 9, 2010 that the team was officially announced and is the earliest mention of the team I could find online.
 * I can't find anything for 2009 either. I wouldn't put too much weight into the CBC article, especially since it was from 8 years later and 2009 sources do not say FC Edmonton was one of the teams. They were likely mistaken. Given that the announcement was 2010 and the club says they're founded in 2010 (see the new logo), I'd say the February 9, 2010 date makes the most sense. UmpireRay (talk) 20:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with the February date. The only other source that lists 2009 is the clubs own website (primary source), but even that is inconsistent with itself: "FC Edmonton was founded in late 2009..." — "Founded by Tom and Dave Fath in 2010..."

2021 Roster - Needs Updating.
I would like to start to clean out the roster and make it more in line with the players listed here; Eddies Roster on CPL

Does anyone object to this? Boakai, Son and others have not been linked with the club, yet are still listed here. Tamccullough (talk) 14:52, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * As long as it's sourced and accurate, be WP:BOLD. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:32, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * But the height and DoB are not appropriate. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:33, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
