John Orozco

I'm posting this message on your talk page because I noticed that you've recently created the new article John Orozco-- The information is presented clearly and is easy to understand. Jipinghe (talk) 21:38, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you!

Chris Brooks

Saw your gym article activity. Please feel free to upgrade the Chris Brooks (gymnast) article. I started a stub, but it could use more content! TCO (talk) 18:15, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

I have added some more information.

thank you TCO (talk) 23:12, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Please do not move articles into non-existant categories

Your edits left many people in red-linked categories. Please pur articles only in categories that actually exist. Thank you. Courcelles 22:28, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I was correcting the category, as international elite gymnasts competed for Great Britain or Ireland in the Olympics. They should not be redlinked anymore. The changes just needed to catch up.

And anyway, most of them are English/Scottish, which is more specific than British. We put articles in the most specific categories applicable, and which team they competed for in, say, the Commonwealth Games is more telling here. Courcelles 23:50, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

The commonwealth Games is the ONLY time they will compete for the separate countries within the United Kingdom. These gymnasts are on the BRITISH national squad and compete for Great Britain in Olympics, Euros, Worlds and other international assignments. I know gymnastics very well, and can assure you that 'British' is the best category, especially for anyone wanting to find out more about the athletes within the sport of gymnastics. If someone wants to be a separate subcategory, that is fine. But 'British' should still be a category.

Agree with you, Courcelles was acting aggressively gnomey and showed lack of understanding of the content.TCO (talk) 23:12, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Re: Sean Townsend

Re your message: It is likely to be an unrelated person who shared the same name. The editor attempted to create an article about themselves, but did not say very much. Feel free to create a new article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC) Brilliant. Thanks for letting me know. Bio stub for Sean the gymnast now created. Tough to find decent sources now though! Brunettekoala (talk) 00:06, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
