Reverts

@Sportsfan 1234: You reverted a number of changes to this page. Your changes make the article worse in a number of ways. First, your changes to the lead sentence violate WP:LEADSENTENCE. Also, you deleted a sentence from the lead stating this is the second time the men's tournament is held; this type of sentence is a standard component of international sports tournament articles, and there is no good reason to remove this accurate, relevant information. Additionally, you changed a verb tense from future to past, which doesn't make sense because the tournament is next year. Furthermore, you added a legend that refers to nonexistent content in a table. I don't see the point of any of these changes. The article was in much better shape before your revert, and should be restored.

And finally, it's not a good idea to revert others' changes without explanation. That's a clear violation of WP:BRD, and that's how edit wars get started. Barryjjoyce (talk) 01:48, 17 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Sportsfan 1234: Again you have reverted changes without using the talk page or even leaving an edit summary. Read MOS:BOLDTITLE, and read my comments above. Barryjjoyce (talk) 16:51, 6 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Okay, but the "at the" part does not need to be bolded. The event is being held as part of the 2015 Pan American Games and thus both the sport and games should be linked. Not sure why they shouldn't be? Secondly you removed the calendar. Removing valid information without a timeline of restoring it is considered vandalism (w→hich I was told on another article).

@Sportsfan 1234: Did you read the link to MOS:BOLDTITLE that I provided for you? The guidance there is clear on this subject:

Links should not be placed in the boldface reiteration of the title in the opening sentence of a lead:^[1]
The Babe Ruth Award is given annually to the Major League Baseball (MLB) player with the best performance in the postseason. (Babe Ruth Award)

I also asked you a few hours ago to stop WP:EDITWARRING. Your response was to revert yet again shortly afterwards. I am going to ping an uninvolved editor @Indech: who has edited the main Rugby sevens at the Pan American Games article. Hopefully the input of a neutral will help. If you insist on edit warring, I may report you. Barryjjoyce (talk) 01:52, 7 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

No I actually missed it as I scanned over it. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:21, 7 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, @Barryjjoyce:. I only saw your message now. In my opinion all article titles should be boldfaced and linked to the general subject like you did and the way I've being doing since I joined Wikipedia 10 years ago. That's the pattern and IMHO, it should be respected. Indech (talk) 20:10, 10 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

^ Many, but not all, articles repeat the article title in bold face in the first line of the article. Linking the article to itself produces boldface text; this practice is discouraged as page moves will result in a useless circular link through a redirect. Linking part of the bolded text is also discouraged because it changes the visual effect of bolding; some readers will miss the visual cue which is the purpose of using bold face in the first place.

Useless content

User doesn't let me remove unnecessary content in the article. What is the point of leaving "Men's results" when there is already a subpage for that like all the millions of times multisport event articles are done??? Do I need to fill a form or something to make an edit now in Wikipedia?? Indech (talk) 17:47, 12 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
