Speedy deletion nomination of 2005 Thailand Open – Doubles
A tag has been placed on 2005 Thailand Open – Doubles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. –Dream out loud (talk) 00:57, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Untranslated German on an English-language site
I don't believe the failure to translate a few words on an English-language page makes the page qualify for a language=German parameter, as you now insist is the case at Mariah Carey singles discography (previously, you insisted it was French). The site is English, and not French, and not German. The manager's Swiss and it's not astonishing that some things go untranslated from what I assume is the webmaster's usual language. It's still an English-language page, so we should leave the language unspecified (unless you want to compromise and say language=English, with some German). Yes, the Biographie page is pure German, and if we were citing that page I'd have to specify the language as German, but it's not part of our reference, so it's irrelevant.
I'm tired of playing revert games with you, and I don't appreciate the condescension of phrases like "did you bother to click the tab" and "if you bother to check the link". I assure you I visited the page in question, as I do with every page I review, change, cite, or add in an article, every time. That's the way one is supposed to do it, and I'm insulted that you implied otherwise. As it is, I'm wondering why you insisted on French in your first reversion, if, in fact, you had bothered to examine the page before reverting, you should have left the French right out of it. And if you had bothered to study my edit before reverting it, you would have seen that I removed a citation that had nothing to do with the Australian peak of "Just Stand Up!". My edit also provided instructions on using the right tab, and corrected the work/publisher parameters, but your revert undid those changes, too. In future, please assume good faith, although I do make mistakes, and take some care when you revert others' edits. Thanks. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 14:37, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not one to get in someone else business on here but when it comes to Pro wrestling and our Project members going out of line then it's my business as well. For the record 3RR only applies within a 24 hour time span of edit wars not a 48 hour time span as you said on Mickey's talk page. You edit to Bragging Rights (2010) was not right just leave it there before you make it worse for yourself and for others.--Nascarking 16:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Long Island, Kingsport
True, what you have written is mostly correct about the Long Island of the Holston in Kingsport. There had been a reference to Tennessee getting its name from the Cherokee meetings on Long Island that was factually incorrect, as the "Tanasee" Indian settlement was in Monroe County on the Little T, and had nothing to do with either the Holston River or Long Island.
When I was in Tennessee history class at Dobyns-Bennett in Kingsport 40 years ago, we were told and taught that most of the Cherokee dealings in the area occurred on the river portion at the Netherland Inn, near the confluence of the North and South Forks (Kingsport is on the South Fork). There were Cherokee outposts on the island, but none of them in village form. Again, that's what we were taught in school there. I always took the teachers' words as fact, since nobody knows more about things than the people who have lived there all their lives.Csneed (talk) 01:37, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
OK, Fine
That's OK.. the Long Island edit must have come from somewhere else. Sorry! Csneed (talk) 22:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

You added the Expand template to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (which happens to be on my watchlist) ...
* The template says: “Further information might be found on the talk page”, but you haven't provided your rationale for adding the template (i.e. exactly what you want to happen to the article)
* Hundreds of thousands of Wikipedia articles need further input/expansion; why choose this one?
* I took a look at the history page; your only contribution to the article was to add that template.
* The most obvious question, of course: what stops you from expanding the article yourself, instead of expecting others to do it for you?
Just curious like. I find the best strategy is just to get stuck in, other editors then tend to come out of the woodwork. Let me know if you think I can help. Cheers, Daicaregos (talk)
- Thank you for your reply (although you haven't answered any of my questions). I don't see the point of it, myself. As I mentioned, the template says: “Further information might be found on the talk page”, but you haven't provided your rationale for adding the template (i.e. exactly what you want to happen to the article). That makes it drive-by tagging , which should be removed. Daicaregos (talk) 09:59, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- The problem you "fail to see ... in which [I am] trying to point out" is that it is far easier to 'drive-by tag' an article, than to do any work on it. This is a wiki: nothing is preventing you from improving any article that needs it - and there are hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of those. Just tagging an article is pointless. Your 'drive-by tag' has not improved the article at all, and you didn't even bother to identify exactly what you want to happen to the article, on the Talkpage. If you want an article to be improved, you have to improve it. But as your tag has been removed by another editor, the point is now moot. Daicaregos (talk) 13:00, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Hey, just to let you know, I addressed your last comment on the FLC. I added a note about the naming. The only thing I didn't address was about the two charts. If there's anything else you still object over, could you possibly let me know? Thanks! --Hurricanehink (talk) 04:20, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

- I'm not sure if that affects the AFD process at all. If not, just ignore the information. Hazardous Matt (talk) 23:10, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. I'm still unexperienced at anything other than minor revisions. (I really have no desire to get too knowledgeable about how the more complex things run.) He seems to devalue his own point with his last few comments, so its probably the best time to back away. Hazardous Matt (talk) 23:15, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
I'll hold off on the GAR notification issue if you're going to work on the article with Nascarking. This is one of those situations where I think the person needs to explain why they did what they did. He's ducked the question twice, and I doubt he's going to learn from it. Anyway, like I said, if you're dealing with things, I'll back away. Hazardous Matt (talk) 03:16, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Good to know. I'm trying to ease up on it. I've raised the question. Others can run with it. I have to babysit people who do half-hearted efforts all day, it's not something I really want to get in the habit of doing on Wikipedia. It's just the Internet after all. :) Hazardous Matt (talk) 03:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't really like to beg about response, but this list needs to be promoted today, exactly the time the first round of the WikiCup will end. I have only 2 points; this is not enough to go into the second round. I replaced IMDb links with movies.yahoo.com links, as it has much more reliability than IMDb. Thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 17:15, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Dallas
It's already in the main page Dencod16 (talk) 10:07, 1 March 2011 (UTC). It is redundant to put in the draw as well. Then remove the link to the main article, if everything is in the main draw article already, what is the purpose of the main article link. Dencod16 (talk) 10:18, 1 March 2011 (UTC) The lead serves both as an introduction to the article and as a summary of its most important aspects. So the main draw is an introduction. Good Luck Dencod16 (talk) 10:26, 1 March 2011 (UTC). What the hell. 2011 Challenger of Dallas is the main article so it summarizes 2011 Challenger of Dallas - Singles. as to who won and the seeds which are the most important details. Dencod16 (talk) 10:34, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Tennis
Hey, there is no need to put the lead again in the singles and doubles draws. There just should be the information about who was the last champion and so on. All the info is already stated in the main article... Kante4 (talk) 11:37, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- But the draw articles also link to the main article where everything is explained so i don´t see a reason to put the lead up again. Kante4 (talk) 12:25, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- But then take a look at all tennis articles because it is the same way, example, so let´s continue with that style as it has been done for years now. Still don´t see a point for changing it! Kante4 (talk) 12:39, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- If you want to have it your way than go ahead and edit every other tournament article, thanks. Really no reason to do so as a link is provided to the main article and the article itself has a lead... Kante4 (talk) 15:55, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- But isn´t a draw article some kind of section? If i prefer something or not does not count, i just created the articles like they were done in the past and this way looks ok to me. I like the idea of asking other members. ;) Kante4 (talk) 22:36, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Eurovision: Recent changes
Hello,
Please note that there have been some changes to operations surrounding Eurovision articles, these being that:
- Template names have now been standardised, for example Template:Countries in the Eurovision Song Contest and Template:Countries in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest have both been moved in order to be consistent. If you are planning to create a new template, please keep the standardised titles in mind.
{{WikiProject Eurovision}}now accepts importance ratings as well as quality ratings, and the project now has a formal assessment department which gives details on how to assess articles, and provides a place for contributors to request re-assessment. Feel free to add the{{WikiProject Eurovision}}template to the talk page of any new Eurovision articles you create.- The Eurovision Song Contest now has its own stub template at
{{Eurovision-stub}}. Please only use this on Eurovision Song Contest stubs, with{{Music-stub}}and{{Dance-stub}}being the appropriate template for other Eruovision contests.
If you have any questions, please ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision.
You are receiving this message since you are listed as a member of WikiProject Eurovision. If you are no longer interested in contributing to Eurovision articles, please remove your username from this page.

MedCab case
Just so you know, an application for mediation has been made with you listed as an involved party at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2011-08-29/Eurovision Song Contest 2012. CT Cooper · talk 18:47, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
You removed the video along with images. Can I ask why?
While I agree at the talk page to your assessment, perhaps you would consider my template proposal there for the images. I feel lots of images is a good way to illustrate the damage in the article while also feel they shouldn't over-clutter the article.
-- とある白い猫 chi? 19:48, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Lots of images may be a nice way to demonstrate the damage of the Hurricane however WP:LAYOUT#Images states "You should always be watchful not to overwhelm an article with images by adding more just because you can" "Images should ideally be spread evenly within the article". Afro (Talk) 20:36, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- I am sorry but did you actually check my proposal? I do not need to be reminded of guidelines and policies mid discussion as it is a very very poor way to continue a discussion. -- とある白い猫 chi? 20:42, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Well to me it doesn't really solve the issue, I didn't remind you of you MOS to offend you, I quoted it because I feel they still apply to the proposal, in my mind you're still overwhelming a section with imagery and not spreading them evenly throughout the article. Afro (Talk) 20:54, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- I am not offended. It is just that rationales entirely based on guidelines or policies for editorial decisions are very weak. I might argue for instance that since it says "images" videos would not be covered by the guideline but that would again be a very weak argument.
- I feel the video should be in the article while other images - I do not have a preference on. I think it would be best if we separate the two issues.
- Can we discuss on the article talk page so that the discussion is more people.
- -- とある白い猫 chi? 21:03, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sure if the video is needed in the article you can find another section to put it in. Afro (Talk) 21:10, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- I have placed it back days ago and no one removed it. Since you insist on not engaging in a discussion on the talk page I will assume you do not have issues with the proposal. If you still do have an issue with it, please do post a comment to that end. --15:36, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

US Open edition numbers
I changed your numbers after investigating a post at Wikipedia:Help desk#US Open (tennis) editions and examining many sources found with Google, for example on "US Open" "130th edition", but now I'm not sure what's going on. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:12, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

- Yes I was asking that, because I am more focused with the qualifications for each sport and the smaller countries (like Eritrea who knew they had a skier?). Intoronto1125TalkContributions 16:47, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
- I am a pretty big geography fan (currently majoring in geography at university) so I knew, lol. I am only creating articles for countries that have athletes confirmed and listed on their website, and for countries like Eritrea who has only one skier listed on the FIS website (so thats the only athlete able to compete).

Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome! Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project. It is easy for editors to get into conflict with each other, and things can get very nasty on the most trivial of issues, whether that be on the language of songs, the names of certain countries, or how we deal with incidents at the contest. In such circumstances it is worth remembering one thing: we are all here to build an encyclopedia, and the contribution of Eurovision to human knowledge can only be given justice if we work together and make articles, not drama!
Happy editing!

Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome! Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project. The past month has been an eventful one for the project as a whole. Old dramas have closed, new ones have begun. Four articles nominated for GA review, three of them passed and promoted, with one of them making ProjectEurovision history by being the first annual contest article to ever achieve GA status. If it wasn't for the hard work and the many hours of team collaborations that we have endured on this project, then those accolades would never have been gained. Each of those article promotions are as a result of your continuous determination to be part of the best team this project has seen for a long time. There is a teamwork barnstar with this newsletter for you to cherish and you may display the award on your pages if you wish. Now we look to the months ahead and start preparations for Malmo 2013, and see if we can work to getting another annual article to GA status. Here's to you - the team of excellence.
Happy editing! | ||||||
