translation

Is there a way to translate this page to Spanish? I do not want to do it line by line. --Ceezmad (talk) 01:44, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jumping the gun with Cristiane

Someone moved her under former players way too soon. She was resigned for the 2010 season, so I am putting her back in to the lineup. I am also moving Tarpley to the former players section, as she was traded for GK Loyden, and Jönsson to the former players, as she was released from contract.JanderVK (talk) 16:42, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It probably would be good to wait until March-April to edit the full line up, I also changed the flag to Brazil--Ceezmad (talk) 22:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, my bad, forgot to change that. Yeah, I agree, I just wanted to put Cristiane back in to the squad, and seeing as Tarpley was traded, to include that too along with the trades. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JanderVK (talk • contribs) 14:33, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Emma Hayes

I'm surprised that this was not posted in here, but Emma Hayes has been relieved (read: fired) of her duties as head coach and Director of Operations with the Red Stars, according to the website.76.16.124.73 (talk) 21:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)BlacqMagic32[reply]

Undo the split?

I don't think the team page should have been split apart into a different article for each league the team has been in, as it's officially been the exact same organization each year. CyMoahk (talk) 14:04, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The split wasn't done for the Washington Freedom or the WNY Flash precisely because those organizations were continuous, but the split was made for the Atlanta Beat and the Boston Breakers because the modern groups were completely separate from the WUSA groups, they just happened to choose the same name. CyMoahk (talk) 14:08, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... Here are several examples of a team page being split w/ similar circumstances of being in different leagues of varying status:

Seattle Sounders (disambiguation)
Portland Timbers (disambiguation)
Boston Breakers - I think the current page also needs to be split up for WPSLE and NWSL.

Hmlarson (talk) 18:42, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, your note that a split wasn't done for the Washington Freedom doesn't apply. The D.C. United Women was the team that rebranded as the Washington Spirit (also two separate pages). DC United Women played in the W-League. Washington Spirit will play in the NWSL.

The Washington Freedom became magicJack (WPS) under new ownership and disbanded with the WPS. Hmlarson (talk) 18:45, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I mentioned the Freedom b/c they initially started in WUSA and were the same organization despite later playing in the W-League and then WPS. Also, for the Timbers and the Sounders, the organization and ownership group never stayed constant between the various iterations of each team; it's not a similar situation. For the Timbers, there was the original NASL Timbers, then a gap before the semipro FC Portland which only later renamed itself the Timbers, then another gap before the professional Div2 Timbers. There was a similar lack of continuity between the NASL Sounders and the USL Sounders. There was more continuity when the two self-promoted, but each organization and ownership group got a major overhaul to do so - in official documents, the Div2 teams folded and the MLS teams started from scratch. In contrast, all of the women's teams mentioned (aside from the Beat and Breakers WUSA situations) have been completely continuous; none have ever officially folded, just changed leagues. For comparison, see Atlanta Silverbacks, Carolina Railhawks, Rochester Rhinos, etc. CyMoahk (talk) 20:50, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the DCU Women / Washington Spirit split is appropriate because the W-League team still exists, while the NWSL team is new. It's a different organization structure, in addition to the rebrand (like the Freedom/magicJack restructure&rebrand). CyMoahk (talk) 20:56, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I say keep it all under one page, makes it easier to search when you type in Chicago Red stars. Ceezmad (talk) 21:04, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. The page should be cleaned up though, particularly with the new league starting in a few months. Cheers.

Hmlarson (talk) 21:06, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it's not the cleanest. I'm not sure exactly how to make it better, though. Any suggestions? CyMoahk (talk) 21:23, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also I Believe the current owners was involved (a partner) in the Original WPS team, he kept the team going in the lower levels when all the other investors bailed out, so in that sense it is a continuous team IMO. Ceezmad (talk) 21:09, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some sources would make great citations and content for the page. Hmlarson (talk) 22:56, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alyssa Mautz is a Canadian

Here is the source [1]

@Harvardton: Hi- it looks like someone (not me) just changed her nationality back to the US here, so maybe we should straighten this out more? I see the source you're citing, but I feel like it might be a typo. Do you have any additional sources? I couldn't find any others (and I've seen worse errors/typos than that make it into NWSL match reports...). She was definitely on US youth teams (see ESPN: [2]), and I couldn't find any caps for her (or rosters she was on) from the senior Canada WNT per their website. In order to change FIFA nationality, it is my understanding that there'd be a decent paper/search engine trail (Teresa Noyola is an example), and I don't see that for Mautz. I don't know how up-to-date it is, but the FIFA website has her with US nationality [3] (and, for instance, they have Noyola with Mexican nationality, including stats from her US U-20 appearances as well as her Mexico WWC appearances [4], so it looks like they can reconcile individuals with changed nationalities) Cleancutkid (talk) 04:07, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cleancutkid: At this time that is all there is. Being mentioned as a fellow Canadian to Melissa Tancredi, if it turned out to be wrong would be major misinformation on the part of nwslsoccer.com. I will not consider that a typo. As of now, Sofia Huerta is being marked as a US player by someone, while there is no transfer initiated by USSoccer at this time; she can still opt back to play for Mexico if Jill Ellis does not decide in her favor. Time will reveal which senior team each player plays for in the future. There is no point policing an editor hiding behind an ip-address. Harvardton (talk) 04:59, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most succesful US football club?

In the 1st paragraph it states that Chicago Red Stars are the most succesful women's football club in the USA. This is false. They've never won a major trophy. They've been runners-up in the League once, and been runners-up in the NWSL Shield once. Portland Thorns, just to give 1 example of a more succesful club, have won 2 League Championships and won 1 NWSL Shield. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ACCH (talk • contribs) 15:58, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2022 season

Can someone link 2022 Chicago Red Stars season to this mainpage?

I know the season is still in progress, but it seems strange to not link to that page from the main page for the team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Windtheme (talk • contribs) 02:30, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Arnim Whisler religion

==Rory Dames/Arnim Whisler scandal== section states that Arnim Whisler is Jewish or a follower of Judaism. There is no evidence of this. All Google searches for his religion either lead to this Wikipedia page or to similar questions on Quora. In addition, there seems to be a Quora user who keeps creating fake accounts to post questions about Arnim Whisler being Jewish despite multiple other Quora users replying that he is not. Please see https://qr.ae/pyw496 for information and examples.

In any case, Arnim Whisler's religion and/or ethnicity are not relevant to the scandal or his behavior.

Team renamed

As of October 23, 2024, "Going forward, the club will be known as Chicago Stars Football Club." -97.120.80.170 (talk) 15:11, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to reports, the name change doesn't actually take effect until the end of the season. "The National Women's Soccer League team will be known as the Chicago Stars Football Club after this season, it announced Wednesday. The team will continue to wear the Red Stars name and crest for the remainder of the season and through the playoffs."[5] SixFourThree (talk) 13:58, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moved the page back accordingly. Whoever did the first page move did it in a classic case of "too soon." Seany91 (talk) 14:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Having been eliminated in the quarter finals, their season is now over the name change should take effect. 2603:9001:6800:CA1A:526D:C088:FB66:C8CE (talk) 02:10, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
