Game Calendar
Dear contributors, How you consider how much we are needed in the paragraph Game calendar? As on me it simply duplicates the information going below and litters this article. SteveGOLD 10:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I concur.Hektor 10:22, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * We had something similar on Euro 2004 . ed g2s &bull; talk 10:25, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I partly agree. Though it repeats the information from a following section, I think that this is more relevant to me since the information displayed is chronologically arranged, rather than arranged by the World Cup groupings, which is probably more important for those following this event on television. However, the problem of this section lies in its general appearance. One look at it and I already has a headache--it is certainly a feast for the eyes--lots of information, with flags, time, groupings, place, etc.--but the presentation of the information is not up to standards. Why not move this to a separate article (just leave a link for this section), and rearrange the information by row, instead of by column. One column each for the date, grouping, match, time, place, etc. And it is arranged chronologically from top to bottom. In that way, the information on this site won't be duplicated by another section, but at the same time, a new section/link can give another view/presentation/organization of the information provided here.

 * I created the page 2006 FIFA World Cup calendar and linked to it from the 2006 FIFA World Cup page for exactly these reasons! In my opinion it should be kept seperate with a link from the main page. — Dan1980 10:35, 11 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, please keep this separate! I just wanted to print out the calendar and was pretty dismayed to find the page to be merged into the huge main article. 84.144.121.21 10:39, 11 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I have now moved the page back and added an extra link under the Game Calendar heading. — Dan1980 10:41, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Lines between matches
A recent edit was made to add lines to the calendar, but it was reverted: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2006_FIFA_World_Cup_calendar&oldid=59267091

The problem with the lines is that they are identical to the ones separating the calendar days. Maybe if a very light shade of gray was used then the lines would be fine Dav2008 15:22, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Size
Testing... would it look better in this abbreviated form?

Calendar vs. Chart
Calendar: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2006_FIFA_World_Cup_calendar&oldid=59408659 Chart: (current version) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup_calendar The calendar looks and works much nicer for the intended purpose of this page Dav2008 14:37, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Good job, whoever updated it to a chart. sikander 16:48, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

calendar? scheldue? list?
This article's format has changed greatly. It now reads more like a list and is no longer really a calendar, but more of a schedule. So I am proposing a name change to either: 2006 FIFA World Cup schedule or List of 2006 FIFA World Cup matches. Paul C/T+ 20:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm proposing we revert to the calendar format. It was easy to read and you didn't have to scan your eyes across the table to try to figure out what time a game was being played Dav2008 23:04, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Calendar or Schedule

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the debate was to keep the current schedule format. Ian Manka Talk to me! 17:43, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

There seems to be a disagreement on which lay-out to use, so I'm setting up a vote of sorts. -- e ivindt@c 21:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Calendar

 * 1) This format is much easier to read at a glance. Should be used whilst the tournament is in progress, then possibly changed to the schedule afterwards. Dan1980 07:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) I liked this one better.  I've been checking the page daily, and I was confussed and non-plussed when the format changed. -lethe talk [ +] 20:46, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Schedule (current lay-out)

 * 1) This is the better format. See the AfD for further comments on the matter by me. Ian Manka Talk to me! 03:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Readable.  Ian ¹³  /t  16:48, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) This layout is much more readable. -- Chuq 23:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Schedule, as per Ian Manka. It is encyclopaedia, not sports portal. --Monk 10:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Other suggestions and comments

 * This "calendar" format has little encyclopaedic value in the future -- will users read this format two or three years in the future? My guess is probably not. See: What Wikipedia is not. They will prefer to look at a chronological list, IMHO. (My comment at the now-closed AfD) Ian Manka Talk to me! 19:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I closed the AfD early as a speedy delete. The debate has shifted to here as which form the article should take. Ian Manka Talk to me! 19:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
