![]() | Page history Through a series of unfortunate edits, the extensive revision history of World Football Elo Ratings from December 2005 to July 2018 is not attached to this page anymore but to the redirect page Elo Rating System for football. |
I've merged the "All-time highest ratings" and "All-time highest ranking" again, as proposed, supported and executed last summer before the great meltdown. Those tables contained much duplicated material. The new table has more information as well (top 60 -> top 80, all time lows are included). This should be uncontroversial. Two improvements currently come to my mind:
I'll stepwise introduce the other improvements I had proposed in June 2018 (how do you link to headers in archived discussion pages?); a lot of these were based on suggestions by other editors. i've resurrected the draft again in my sandbox. Back then, over a two week period, only one editor chimed in (thanks GazThomas402!). Afasmit (talk) 23:02, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
Too bad this was removed, it was very informative, and can't be found elsewhere. SimTheWorld (talk) 14:31, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

There is a WP:CONSENSUS at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#World Football Elo Ratings (and previously here) that only the first 25 teams should be listed, as per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The only objector is one IP user, who doesn't give any policy-based arguments. This article should therefore be restored to the version with consensus, rather than the IP's edit warred version. And semi-protection would suffice. Oshwah the purpose of full protection is to resolve a dispute, but we have a consensus amongst most editors- it's just that the IP is WP:NOTLISTENING. Keeping this article fully protected on a version against a discussed consensus is unnecessary and will only encourage this IP user to continue edit warring in future.

Checking the initial values of different national teams on https://www.eloratings.net/, which is used as the reference in the article, I have noticed that they are different. For example France started at 1600 on May 1, 1904, while Spain started at 2000 on August 28, 1920. Is there an explanation for this? Thank you. --2001:A61:A11:1701:F4CB:BCB8:6F8B:3CE4 (talk) 13:58, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

The short paragraph Result of match includes:
in other words, draws in knockout matches are only counted as draws if the extra time ends in a draw. I find this unrealistic when considering its effect on ranking and rating teams, but this is not the place to argue against it; it's merely my view of the way the system works, and the article seems to document the way the system works accurately. What might be possible in this (wikipedia) context, is to ask whether the argument for or against has been set down anywhere, and if so, whether to refer to it on this page. --Nick Barnett (talk) 10:02, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
