African Cup of Nations[edit]

I have removed this section because there were zero sources and they have never participated in it. If this changes, it would make sense to add this information. Otherwise a table that says never, never and never is not very helpful. The text already says that. --LauraHale (talk) 23:03, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice Laura. On the citing aspect, i thought links to the tournament's (and qualifier's) wiki article would suffice. And on the second aspect, i was hoping that one day, when these countries have been given a greater support system by their governments, people could look back on how many tries it took a country before they could finally qualify for a continental final (see the Equatorial Guinea women's national football team page). One more plus i was looking for was the same box on every African countries page. Teams like Malawi will now hopefully be participating in the qualification process for every major tournament. Last but not least, i like that you added pages for every country in Africa, for the womens game. I thank you! It looks much nicer on that Template:CAF women's teams Funtimewithdave (talk) 00:50, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Most articles do not have adequate sourcing. The ones I have worked on generally do... but when there is pretty much zero team history and no citations, it is even more imperative that sources be included. It is hard to understand this without context. The articles do not need to look uniform by having the same boxes: I've gotten four GAs done for African women's teams with out these boxes in them for teams that have never competed. (Long term goal: Make Women's national football teams in the CAF region into an GT.) When they do compete, it will be worthwhile putting it in there... but having read a history of some of these teams, I don't feel optimistic. --LauraHale (talk) 02:09, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
