Talk:Home Nations Football Championship

Began this page as a stub template. Filled out the infomation I have at present (subject to further research) and laid out paragraphs in a style with ???? in place of figures I did not know at the time of writing. Will gradually replace these, and expand the article, but if anyone has any particular knowledge feel free to help out. Grunners 09:46, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Great idea - they were an important part of my footie childhood. see http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Home+International+Championship http://www.rsssf.com/tablesb/bhc1967-84.html PeterGrecian 12:41, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Added some more info - hope this helps! --G Rutter 13:31, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

There's already a page on this!

There is already a page on this! It's at British Home Championship (the official name for the tournament - I have never ever heard it called the 'Home Home Nations Football Championship'), which contains far more information than this page. I guess no one thought to search for it.

Anyway, I'll merge the pages. As far as I can tell the only information on this page that is not already on the British Home Championship page is the total winners list. 81.174.247.96 14:43, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Okay, I've done that. I've got to say that I think it's funny that someone suggested gathering information from the Free Dictionary Encyclopedia - that's based on Wikipedia! And still no-one realised there was an article about it! 81.174.247.96 14:53, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The problem is

...a lot of people have forgotten what it was called. I propose a redirect from Home Internationals (soccer) which I recall it being most commonly refered to and deleting this page which I have also never heard it called

Well, at present there's redirects at 'Home International Championship' and, of course, this page. That may well be sufficent because any search should pick up these pages (but of course sometimes people don't think to search (like in this case)). Maybe just set up redirects as necessary. I don't think one at 'Home Internationals (Soccer)' would be very useful, though, because the chance of someone typing in that exact phrase is remote. Whatever happens, the entry should always remain at British Home Championship, as that's the official title. 81.174.247.96 17:55, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

There appears to be a redirect at 'British Championship' too. 81.174.247.96 18:02, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
