best Win Ever

How did the player score 13 goals for the team if it was their first win at 5-0? I don't see how that works.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Resitate (talk • contribs) 20:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Manual references

I just added a reference on some material I added to the article, but it didn't come out correctly. Apparently the references here were done by hand, i.e. without the <references /> tag. I've never seen it that way before. I didn't want to disturb anything, so I didn't attempt to fix my reference. - PhilipR (talk) 07:29, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lede section suggestions and rewrite

I was asked by Jaime070996 (talk · contribs) to help rewrite and expand the WP:LEDE, so here goes;

How I normally try to write a good lede;

The first statement, about what it is, is very important. The current one is not too bad, really;

The El Salvador national football team represents El Salvador in international association football and is controlled by the El Salvador Football Federation

The only issue being the duplication of "El Salvador" 3 times, which is tricky to avoid.

For the rest of the lede, I usually try to read through the whole article, trying to take the absolute essential points from each part. I'll show my notes below. The parts in (brackets) are 'possibly' not worth mentioning, maybe excess details;

History

Began in 1921 (Gustavo "Taviche" Marroquin scored 5 goals against to-be-rivals Honduras) Competed in two World Cup competitions, 1970 and 1982. (2010 FESFUT suspended by FIFA due to government interference)

Competitive record

Concaf 10 times; '63 and '81 runners-up; 77 3rd place; (2002 and 2003 qtr finals) CCCF champs in 1943, 2nd in '41 and '61 Also UNCAF (3rd x 3), Pan American Games recordand Olympics Central American and Caribbean Games 2 x Gold

Kit

Maybe a v brief mention - colors, describe maybe?

Squad/callups

The only note, really, is - 21 man squad

Unless there is some extra-specially-notable player, in which case, they might be worth noting

Stats

Top scorers; Jorge "Mágico" González 41 Raúl Díaz Arce 39 Most appearances: Luis Guevara Mora 89

Staff

Manager José Luis Rugamas

Honours

- covered above

Using the above logic, and my own judgement/wording, I've rewritten the lede as;

The El Salvador national football team represents El Salvador in international association football and is controlled by the FESFUT. After the formation in 1921, the player Gustavo "Taviche" Marroquin scored 5 goals against the Honduras, beginning a lengthy rivalty.

The team competed in two World Cup competitions, in 1970 and 1982. They were CCCF champions in 1943, and second-placed in 1941 and 1961. They have competed in the CONCACAF Gold Cup ten times, finishing as runners-up in 1963 and 1981. La Selecta also competed in the UNCAF Nations Cup, the Pan American Games, the Olympics, and have achieved two gold medals in the Central American and Caribbean Games.

They play in a mostly sky-blue kit, which from 2008 included the Mitre logo.

The top-scoring player is Jorge "Mágico" González (41 goals), the next closest being Raúl Díaz Arce with 39. Luis Guevara Mora is the player with the most caps, at 89. The manager is José Luis Rugamas.

I have done my best, but I'm sure that this is not entirely accurate; however, I place it as lede because I hope it is better than the current one.

In particular, please note that the lede should adequately summarize the article, but should not include information that is not elaborated upon elsewhere.

For that specific reason, I have not included mention of the Football War - this should certainly be in the article, but as it is not, in my talk of rewriting the lede, I could not help with that.

Best, Chzz ► 07:56, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other Competition

On the "Other tournament records" section the Copa Centroamericana and the CCCF Championship Record are in a table. Do you thing it would be better to put the "Central American and Caribbean Games," "Olympic Games record," and "Pan American Games record" as a table to? I would love to do it if you let me.

Fair use rationale for File:FESFUT logo.svg

File:FESFUT logo.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

GA request

I have put this up as the history of the page hasn't been updated since 2013 and their is sections in the article that isn't cited. An example of this is the fact that the CONCACAF Championship record summary doesn't have any citations in that particular section of the article. Matt294069 (talk) 00:55, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaime070996: Could you look at this. It doesn't seem like much is needed (an update and some sources). AIRcorn (talk) 23:15, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Matt294069: I agree with you, this article does need an update and also has some incorrectly formatted references and many dead links. It could also use some images too. Matthewishere0 (talk) 15:17, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
