Template talk:Infobox badminton player

bgcolor

Hi Aleenf1. I usually don't give my opinion of your changes, but I think the new bgcolor is too bright for an infobox. The former one was more gentle and in my opinion more appropiated for this kind of template. Could be posible changing again the bgcolor for the former one or another similar?

How about this? --Aleenf1 16:54, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Perfect! :-) MontanNito 17:35, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Little change

What do you think about the change? In all the profiles (see BAM or BWF, for example), it always appears the BWF ID number, but with the former format it couldn't be read in the Wikipedia article. Opinions? Walint (talk) 22:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Insertion of unnecessary parameter

Someone adding "badminton player" as sub-header. How about "former badminton player"?

That is large insertion of unnecessary parameter too. Ethnicity, Citizenship, Education, Alma mater, Occupation, Spouse(s), Life partner, Other interests, Sport, Event(s), Club, Turned pro, Partner, Former partner(s), Coached by, Now coaching.

We are writing about one badminton player bio, and not his family bio. In badminton, we only divided by junior or senior events, when age over 19 then it is not junior anymore. Nowadays also we have many leagues around the asia, India, Indonesia, China and they are bidding a player, so it is no certain that a player will stay for one club forever. --Aleenf1 12:41, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

We refer to William Shakespeare as a "playwright" not a "former playwright". There is no need for the prefix "former" for people, notable as badminton players, who are no longer active. That said, in the code you have reverted, and which should be restored, it was possible to override the displayed text with any value, including that title. The other parameters which you list are standard for biographies, and are in the generic {{Infobox person}}, so should also be included here. Multiple values can be entered for |Club=, using {{Plainlist}}. Dates for each club can be included by using {{Timeline-event}}.

This template created for badminton player, it is not necessary that it "must" include parameter from other templates which created for general use. In addition, no certain info regarding the club the players playing for, which will cause verifiability problems only. --Aleenf1 12:13, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Such subjects do not exist in a "badminton only" bubble. Of course unverifiable information should not be included - but what about when it is cited..? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:47, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Is a little gain, and it can cause "historical incompleteness". Sorry, i don't think it should be there. --Aleenf1 14:35, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

That you don't like the various parameters (not a singular "it") under discussion is clear; but you seem to be a lone voice. You claim "little gain", but that's a value judgement which you don;t justify. and I have no idea what you mean by "it can cause 'historical incompleteness'".

I will like to say also, you add what you "like" without reviewing it is useful. What is ethnicity? citizenship? education? alma meter? Does we need to reach that rubbish point, it just like racist while a player only need what country they representing for. Does an education, club he play really lift the profile of each player? Please mind that not all details in one badminton player are really needed in one infobox, here we are maintain the basis. --Aleenf1 12:31, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Since you describe my views as racist, a clear failure to abide by WP:AGF, I'll withdraw. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:54, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
