Rosenborg BK in Europe

 * Nominator(s): Arsenikk (talk)  11:33, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Rosenborg is the most successful football team in Europe from Norway, particularly during the late 1990s and 2000s. The following list presents Rosenborg's achievements and matches in UEFA tournaments and hopefully also meets the criteria for a featured list. Arsenikk (talk)  11:33, 1 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Support – Meets FL standards.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 15:13, 27 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Comment The Inter-Cities Fairs Cup was not a UEFA tournament; therefore, its results should not have been included in this list. -- Cheetah  (talk)  07:07, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comment: I have removed the season. It was included in Svardal (2007), but I now notice that it is not included in the aggregate statistics from UEFA, and I agree that official UEFA statistics should take precedence. Arsenikk (talk)  09:29, 20 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I appreciate that the changes happened during this FLC, but I do have to take issue with what appears to be an FL purge on "UEFA". Spell it out on first occurance in the lead by all means, and by all means repeat this practise for the first appearance in the references. But from then on, I don't see why UEFA&mdash;the common term&mdash;shouldn't be used. —WFC— 22:01, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Either way is fine for me, but I originally though the same was as you. Honestly I don't think this is worth more energy, unless consensus is clear either way. Arsenikk (talk)  20:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess you're right. I'm just getting annoyed at the over-zealous way in which acronyms/initialisms are being hounded at FLC. There is a balance to be had between using the common name and ensuring that non-experts understand, and in my opinion FLC is getting that balance badly wrong. At this rate we'll soon be spelling out British Broadcasting Corporation. —WFC— 15:03, 7 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. Excellent work. —WFC— 15:03, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
