Untitled

It lacks the third colour set when they meet, say Monaco which teams has both red and white. This third colour is light blue. But I don't have time for know to change the picture.

OK, I tried to had a third colour set, but the template is for just two colour sets. :-( If anybody updates the template to allow more than two sets, they are already here.

Squad information

A few people have been editing the squad information, without citing sources for their edits. As I see it, the official source for Stade Rennais information remains www.staderennais.com. This leads me to sevral points :

Stéphane Mbia is not called "M'bia".
Uwa Echiejile and Prince Oniangue do not have first team numbers this season (last season they did, but no longer).
Yann Mvila is not called "M'vila".

That's all I wanted to say. Information from fan websites such as www.stade-rennais-online.com is interesting, but is less reliable than www.staderennais.com, and as such is merely there to complement the information lacking on the official site (ex. Uwa Echiejile in the youth team), and not override information by the official site. Shazback 14:12, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

There is a conflict between the most commonly used name in English language sources, as this is the name of the town. The solution that is used in most cases that result in this clash in English clubs (eg (Gillingham/Gillingham, or Liverpool/Liverpool), by adding F.C. to the article name is not appropriate, so this article has been known by its official name rather than according to the most common name. This is not necessarily problematic, but the page name is being taken as proof of, rather than an imperfect reflection of, the common name, causing edit wars and ill tempered dispute breaking out here, here (most edit notes since 5 Jan), here, here, here, and here. I am happy with variants on the target page such as Rennes (association football club) Kevin McE (talk) 19:11, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. What next? Hibs and Hearts (names which are at least as commonly used as the full names)? Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - using the proper name of the football club is standard practice, even if it does not match the Common name - e.g. Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.. If a shortened version is used in piped link, so be it, it's not a problem (e.g. Wolves. - fchd (talk) 20:23, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Stupidest idea I've ever heard. The club may be commonly referred to as "Rennes", but only as a short form of "Stade Rennais". – Pee Jay 20:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can we remember WP:CIVIL]] please: I only proposed it as a potential way out of the impasse at USA. If you want to say that anyone's ideas are stupid, direct it at the person who thinks that article names establish common names. Kevin McE (talk) 20:41, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Using that train of thought, other clubs would be moved. Why not move Middlesbrough F.C. to Boro or Portsmouth F.C. to Pompey? Because it is not the official name, simply a nickname used as an informal term by fans and pundits. Eddie6705 (talk) 20:39, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose in the strongest possible terms. We shouldn't be distorting article names just for people who can't understand that you can have long names, short names, and other names in between. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 21:05, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose this seems like a mere dumbing down to meet teamnames that are used on league tables and results and not use of a full teamname. Peanut4 (talk) 21:59, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This seems to be being suggested as a solution to Grant.Alpaugh's ridiculous edit-warring on the USA national team article, which is the worst possible reason for a move. пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 10:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - should this be closed per WP:SNOW now? – Pee Jay 12:10, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly oppose. Can't believe it's even been suggested. WikiGull (talk) 14:37, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose team is called Stade Rennais, Rennes is just an informal nickname. Giant Snowman 01:58, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose - Feel free to use the English variant as a nickname redirect, but moving the article would be inappropriate. matt91486 (talk) 11:46, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - As per reasons given above, especially No57's point that such a move would reward the edit warring on the USA national team article. King of the North East 20:44, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK Call off the hounds Yes, it was an attempt to try to get the editor at United States to be able to see some linkage between common name and the article name, but at least some of those issues were clarified: article name is not necessarily proof of most common usage (GA:are you reading this?). It would have been nice if some editors had been able to acknowledge that it was an attempt to find a resolution to that dispute rather than being so blatantly rude in their rejection.

Training Centre

The picture for the entrance to the Centre d'entraînement Henri-Guérin is inaccurate. What we see in this picture is the entrance of the E.T.P Odorico, which is the private school where the young footballers from the Rennes youth academy go. The training centre is in a completely different location and not really near the stadium. Can somebody change this please, as I don't really know how to do this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.214.88 (talk) 02:46, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
