with introductions and relevant info, group tables, and scores from the knock-out rounds. I have also done a small amount of correction and addition to the Intertoto Cup page, and set up some key redirects that were not in existence previously. Hopefully by the time this season's tournament ends (in late July) I will have completed this process for all 47 seasons. This is rather fitting, as the Intertoto is being abolished after this year.

is quite uneasy) but to good one, and possibly without making the AID itself look too UK-centric (a clear majority of AID winners are somewhat related to football in the UK). I wouldn't think a task-based AID would work, mainly because these kind of things can be discussed and coordinated directly by the WikiProject without the need for an AID.

My 2 main sources are the RSSSF, and a private page of results (which you can find linked from the RSSSF). Plus my own records and, from 1995, UEFA records. There are far too many uncertainties and errors in the group-stage scores at the moment to include a grid with the scores in beside the tables -

Hello, I am beginning the process of expanding the Intertoto Cup. This is arguably the fourth most important tournament in European football, but very little information in contained in Knowledge (and almost none before UEFA took over in 1995). My name is initially to complete every year 1961-present

My sensation is there's no common willing to join forces for improving a single article decided by majority, except of course when the majority is clear, possibly almost unanimous. I would first consider make the AID in a bi-weekly basis, with the goal not to improve article to featured status (that

There has been a general decline in the number of editors working on the current AID each week, and I don't think it is attracting enough attention to justify making a new selection each week.

Possible ideas: make it bi-weekly, involving constantly a fixed set of WP users with proven football-related knowledge in the selection process, and considering more concrete parameters within the selection itself (e.g. giving preference to stubs and articles in need of cleanup rather than good or

The date is extended by a week for every 3 votes. When Platini got three votes the date was extended, so it will be up for two weeks, whereas the others will be removed after a week if they do not get more votes, note the dates. There's probably a far clearer explanation somwhere else, try the

These days articles selected for the Football Article Improvement Drive get very little activity. It might be time to reform the nature of the Improvement Drive. What are people's thought about changes in emphasis? One possibility is making it more task based, e.g. "expand as many

collapse altogether, but I think it's a more worthwhile project than what we have now, where the AID seems to just do general clean-up. As aLii says, we could focus on important articles - I'd certainly like to get a national team up to scratch so we have a template for the rest.

I figured I'd solve the situation by voting for one of the articles myself. Spurs are likely to be a topic of interest to more editors than Linderoth (biographies tend to attract less attention when selected than clubs, unless its someone iconic like Pele), so I voted for Spurs.

I'm usually quite a fast learner when it comes to contributing to Knowledge, but with this one, I'm stuck. I really have no clue how to create kit designs on the article and I was wondering if someone could change the Histon home kit. The home kit looks like this,

Once all the seasons are finished, I will create some supplementary pages like 'List of clubs by appearances in the Intertoto Cup', 'Records and Firsts in the Intertoto Cup' and a page on changing formats. All advice to me is very much appreciated.

also, I feel this if pretty ineffective unless you can provide dates and venues for the games alongside (as happens post-1995). For this reason, I am only including the tables on their own currently.
