Just wanted to say thanks for doing this, it may seem minor to some, but it makes the articles that much better, so keep up the good work. Blackmissionary 04:59, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

World/Confederation Cup succession boxes
Hi, and thanks for the thanks. Always good to see that someone else sees and appreciates your work (minor as it was) and that I didn't do the wrong thing by changing them :p I know some people can be quite particular about their work, least of all me. For my part, nice job on the succession boxes so far - it's the sort of thing that I keep wanting to do, but never quite have the energy to persevere with.

Now, back to the original question. As a test, I inserted tags into the Uruguay page (as you saw me do on England's), and it seemed to work fine. Take a look yourself - it seemed to work, so I confirmed the edit. I have a little experience in such things though, and I would point a finger at the flags you were using. If the flag image is too large (i.e. larger than the size of the text) then it won't condensce, but rather will just expand the line to fit itself. However, this only applies to the specific line and section that it is in - the script interprets your succession boxes individually for each part (previous winner | title won | next winner) and so redraws the lines in the other sections as they are meant to be. I don't off-hand know a way to fix that (I'm pretty sure there is a way), but the alternative is just to shrink the flag image until it fits the line spacing. Apologies if you already knew this, but you can generally reduce image sizes by inserting a short bit of code into a picture's wiki-link, designating the size (measured length-ways) of the image you want, in this case a flag. So  becomes:
 * 🇧🇷

and  becomes:
 * [[Image:Flag of Brazil.svg|15px]]

which should allow for a quick-fix (botch-job :) ) solution if needed. It doesn't seem to work with the preferred template of tags, but as already alluded to above, the flags in this template appear to be the right size anyway.

Incidentally, on one line of the Uruguay succession box, you had "1983 (twelfth title) - 1987 (thirteenth title)" down on one line, which was too long for the box anyway, and forced it to drop down the last word onto a new line, thus throwing the line spacing and making it out of sync. It might be a long-shot, but could that have been what made it seem wrong to you, flag images completely aside? I abbreviated "thirteenth" to "13th" in the succession box to fix it - it's a bit of an ugly and imperfect solution, but it works. If you really want to neaten out the line, and use the word "thirteenth" in full, you might want to consider expanding the succession box template to give more room for writing such words, but that's a whole different story.

Hope that helps/explains it; if you didn't understand something, or it didn't help, get back to me and I'll try to work out something else. Falastur2 15:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

National Team Squads
Please read my reply in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Templates. Also, just so you know, I was not on that discussions and I was taking neutral position on whether the template are needed or not. I just want to let you know early before you've spend a lot of time creating templates and putting them on the players page. Martin tamb 15:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Vote for Football as the Australian collaboration
Hi -- I recently nominated WikiProject Football (soccer) in Australia/To-do for the Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight.

This WikiProject has been inactive for a long time and with the World Cup coming up, it would be good for football (soccer) articles to be in depth and comprehensive in Australia.

If you would like to support it, click here for the project page to cast your vote

Thanks! Australian Matt (talk) 02:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
