2011 Men's Curling World Championships

Thank you for creating the page for the 2011 Men's World Championships. I noticed you listed that the top six teams from the European Championships qualify. Traditionally, the top eight teams qualify. I haven't heard of any reduction of the number of teams. Was this is typo or do you have a source for this?--SargentIV (talk) 01:09, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Curling wikiproject

Hi there, welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you have an interest in curling. I am inviting you to join the Curling wikiproject

Please help save article Charlotte Centre Curling Club from deletion. The "not notable" jerks are on a rampage. Thanks. (This note sent to you as a member of the Curling wikiproject--WaxonWaxov (talk) 12:07, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your well-intended edit of List of curling clubs in the United States. Sorry, but all the spelling changes you made were incorrect. Their as in "Bill and Jim are both scratching their -----." Is spelled e before i, not following the rule "I before E except after C." Don't feel bad. If it were not for spellcheck and auto-correct I'd get that one wrong all the time. Also, its is possessive. It's means "it is." So instead of "the lion is going to scratch his ---" you could say "It's going to scratch its ---." Again, one I'd always get wrong without spellcheck. Finally, all words that end with the sound "shun" are spelled tion, not tioin. Thanks for trying to help.--WaxonWaxov (talk) 23:16, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I think there's something that I need to clear up. I made those spelling changes, but there was an edit conflict due to the fact that I had stopped one of the edits from being submitted upon catching another mistake. The edit conflict reverted to the old version which I had intended to correct. You can see that from the series of minor edits previous to my most recent "edit." I didn't notice that it had reverted, so I did not act. Thank you for the spelling and grammar lessons, but I feel as if I know those rules quite well enough. Please pardon any confusion the edit conflict, and thank you for correcting the mistake that I had not been aware of. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 23:31, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

It's all good. Honestly, I thought maybe you were an English as a second language person or something. :) Welcome to the curling community of Wikipedia. Too bad the "notability-nazis" deleted the above named article (Charlotte). —Preceding unsigned comment added by WaxonWaxov (talk • contribs) 04:23, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Why thank you! Yeah, I saw the article. What is up with the notability/non-notability business? I don't get why you can't have an article like the Charlotte club article that was deleted. But I suppose you do what you can do to save it, and that's all that matters. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 04:31, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Curling related AFD

Hi, as a member of the WP:CURLING, I thought you should have a look at this debate Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of curling clubs in New Brunswick and see what your take is on it. -- Earl Andrew - talk 18:02, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

2011 Canada Games Calendar

Good job on creating the calendar, but make sure you have accuracy when it comes to the number of events and days they are competed on. I found a lot of errors, so make sure you double check your work. Thank you, Intoronto1125 (talk) 04:13, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I was not aware that I had made any errors. I followed the calendar posted on the 2011 Canada Games site (here) and it was the same as the calendar that I had posted. However, I trust that you know what you are doing, and that I probably misread the calendar or you have a more accurate source. Either way, I would request that you please cite your source, so that I can have some confirmation.

I also noticed that you don't care for the use of dot (●) in the calendar for the Canada Games and for the Universiade calendar. Just out of curiosity, why not? The key on the top of the calendar uses the dot, and the Olympic games calendars use the dot as well. Thanks. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 06:30, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I do not use the dot because they do not lead to the article, and it looks cleaner with the number. If the articles for each event is created (which is unlikely) we can go back and put the dots. And for the source, i went to the results section of the 2011 Canada winter games website [1] and looked at each sport and the amount of events per sport. Intoronto1125 (talk) 19:09, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

That's great, and thanks for your work on the Canada Games pages! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 00:48, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

2011 US Men's Nationals Standings Chart

I noticed that you listed Pete Fenson has having one blank end in the Round Robin portion of the US Nationals. It is my understanding that a team is credited with a blank end if they choose to blank the end while they have hammer. I could not find a box score though that showed Pete Fenson blanking an end with hammer, but perhaps I misunderstand what the statistic is meant to indicate. It's not a major issue of course, just a tiny thing I noticed.--SargentIV (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi! Yes, I'm not too sure myself what is meant by blank end. I followed what was posted on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Curling#Statistics, which said "Blank ends means total blank ends, with hammer or without." I'm not sure how the standings table was edited as a whole, whether the editors thought that blank ends were blanke nds with hammer or blank ends in total, but that was how I edited it. Thanks for bringing this up, though! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 00:12, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

12 end box

Hi, I hope you enjoy my new article. It employs your 12 end curlingbox: 1961 Diamond D Championship -- Earl Andrew - talk 01:38, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Used it again here: 1959 Scotch Cup :) See, who says we wouldn't need it? I'm having a lot of fun looking at google newspaper archives for old linescores and curling stories :) -- Earl Andrew - talk 03:03, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Yep. And the WCF site is wrong about the host cities. Also, one draw from the 1960 Scotch cup had player percentages in the Regina paper! -- Earl Andrew - talk 12:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Curling 2012 youth games

I was thinking if we could sort the European countries by total points scored, as it looks confusing otherwise. Also, Italy and Estonia tied for the last spot, do you know by any chance who gets it? I assumed Estonia as they were listed first on the WCF website. Finally, the qualifiation for other sports such as luge and nordic combined are not official. Intoronto1125 (talk) 03:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes, thank you for bringing this up. The European qualification is a little sketchy; if you noticed, Finland actually has more qualification points than Italy and Estonia, but Estonia is the listed country for the last qualifying country. At press time, the qualification PDF (source #3 on the curling page) had an incomplete European section, so it's confusing. I would actually suggest that we rank the European countries by total points, since I believe the point total in the "Total" column to be accurate. The only possible inaccurate points listed would be the points for the world juniors, since I did those by hand. I'll change that to reflect the most recent information from the WCF if that becomes available. Thanks again! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 05:48, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I would also like to suggest that when the subpage for the mixed curling event is created, then we would move the more detailed table presently on the front page to the subpage, and that we would revert to the simpler version of the qualification table that you had made on the front page. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 05:54, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Ok that would be great, actually I inputed the totals from the world Championship when I did my totals, and Finland does finish higher than Italy and Estonia. As well the latter two ended up tying for the last spot. Intoronto1125 (talk) 14:01, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I just looked at the table they do not tie for the last spot, so that solves the mystery. Isn't great to see Brazil compete? Intoronto1125 (talk) 14:03, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! Yes, it'll be interesting to see how Brazil fares. The whole event will be quite important for the future of curling, too. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 20:19, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I was pulling for Estonia for the last spot, but they just missed it. And no problem. Intoronto1125 (talk) 04:03, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

RE:2011 Women's Worlds

I really don't think it makes a difference either way, i did not enter any scores, it's not confusing anyone, nor does it make it anymore difficult to enter scores, I've been doing this long enough to know. Sirrussellott (talk) 19:29, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Would you like to help expand this article? Intoronto1125 (talk) 01:20, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

2011 Pan American Games

Hey would you like to help with the results section of the Pan American Games in October? If so please list your name over at the talk page [2]. Thank you! Intoronto1125 (talk) 14:00, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with these games. By the looks of it you are interested in the tennis events, would you be interested in the other racket sports such as badminton and squash as well? Also for the doubles events are you sure there will be only 4 seeds as opposed to 8? Intoronto1125 (talk) 19:28, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Glad to help out wherever I can. Yes, I think I'll probably be focusing on tennis and the US at the PanAm Games page, although I'll help wherever else I can. That sounds like a great idea! I'll take a look at the badminton and squash pages and see what I can do. Regarding the men's doubles event, I think it would probably be wiser to put it as 8 seeds, since there are supposedly 24 teams. I just got confused because I looked off the technical manual for tennis, which said that the men's doubles event was a 16 team affair. But the men's doubles schedule says "Round of 24", so I put a 24-team bracket for that. For the other doubles tournaments, I'll just go off what the manual says (for women's and mixed, 16 teams are participating, so there will be 4 seeds according to the manual). Thanks! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 19:54, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Ok that would be great! yea the technical manuals have a lot of errors in them especially the schedule, this is the up to date one [3]. Keep up the great work! Intoronto1125 (talk) 20:25, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Badminton at the 2011 Pan American Games – Mixed doubles

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Badminton at the 2011 Pan American Games – Mixed 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

2011 PAG

It drives me crazy when editors put tags on the page! Just fix the problem thats why you are an editor. (check my user page). On another note I think maybe we should include the defending champions at the top of the article, for example John Doe was the men's singles champion at the 2007 Pan American Games. What do you think? Intoronto1125 (talk) 13:55, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Actually, according to the administrator reviewing that article, there was nothing wrong with it, so that reviewer had no reason to put a tag on there. Regarding the defending champions box, I think that's a wonderful idea, I'll get to work on that. I just have to check the template for the tennis defending champions. Also, for the squash article, the competition format is not in the technical manual, and I'm still looking for a place where the format would be. If you have any tips, please let me know. Thanks, and happy editing! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 16:26, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

I think the single's draw will be like any other sport with 35 athletes (the number does look weird) and for the teams male's is three groups with one with 4 teams the other with 3 teams each. For females same thing but the teams will have two groups of four. Intoronto1125 (talk) 16:44, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

I'll put up the squash teams pages, but I can't be sure about the singles/doubles pages yet. I guess we'll have to wait until the FPS releases something on the format of the competition. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 21:01, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

For the tennis event defending champion boxes, how should it work? The tennis templates that I found that could work for the situation are Template:Tennis event (which has the defending champion stuff and is meant for a single event type tennis tournament) and Template:Tennis events (which is meant for a tennis tournament with men's and women's singles and doubles). I was thinking that I could make another template similar to the two, except with the addition of a mixed doubles event (as an if parser function) to use in multi sport events. Basically, it would have the defending champion/champion, runner-up, score, and links to the singles (men's/women's) and the doubles (men's/women's/mixed) events, similar to the setup for the Grand Slam events. The mixed doubles event link would be optional (as an if parser function) so that it can accommodate MSEs without mixed doubles events (like some previous OGs or PAGs). The only thing that might be a problem would be the links to all the events, since that would be pretty much covered by the infoboxes such as the one on the 2011 PanAm Games tennis page, but having those links would be following the conventions fro tennis event infoboxes. What do you think? I'll start on the template, which shouldn't take too long. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 04:15, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

I like the idea but I have to see it first. For the redirect I was talking about the main article, but leaving it as it is would be fine also. Keep up the good work! Intoronto1125 (talk) 22:43, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

The template is up and running. This is the template: {{Tennis event MSE}}. It's in action here and here. What do you think? Prayerfortheworld (talk) 06:41, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

I like it but it makes the template below it unnecessary, but also you could remove the links to the different tournaments as well. If you decided to remove the second template (the one below) we should include the tennis pictogram. What do you think? As well would you be interested in doing table tennis and racquetball? Thank you so much for your enthusiasm for this project keep it up!! Intoronto1125 (talk) 13:37, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

It does make it unnecessary, but that format follows the format for Grand Slam Tennis event boxes. I'm not sure if I should remove it, though, so I'll consult WP:TENNIS and think about it a little more. Sure, I'll work on that! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 23:30, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Badminton at the 2011 Pan American Games – Mixed doubles

Hi, have you considered perhaps userfying this page and preserving it in draft form until the competiton takes place in October? It seems to me that it'll be a bit bare until then and its possible that someone will put it up at Afd but that it may well be a useful article once the initial draw has taken place. Regards, Bob House 884 (talk) 00:23, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello there! That is true, it will be quite empty until the PanAm event organizers release more information on that. I have not considered it, but I will accept your suggestion to do so. Thanks! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 05:38, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

What do u exactly mean by "userfying"? Intoronto1125 (talk) 14:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

RE 2011 Scotties Articles

The reason I removed it is because when you've put them into the subcategory it removes them from the main page of the 2011 in curling category and places it in the subcategory. When you go to the 2011 in Curling Category all provincial and territorial playdowns, men and women, are visible without having to search for them, which makes it easier for someone who wants to goto the category and look for the event. This is the way it has been since record keeping of the P/T.Playdowns has been recorded, and it is the way it will continue to be done. Sirrussellott (talk) 23:45, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

I put up new qualification results for boxing, if you want to take a look at it. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 19:38, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the update! By the way, shouldn't athletes be listed with the {{flagPASOathlete}} template, since these are the Pan American Games? I've been doing that in my edits, but I'm not sure, since most of the athlete information has been posted up sans the template. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 23:28, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

To my understanding, I was not aware of this template. Anyways, I thought the rule of thumb was you use those templates to show results not qualifcation, but I could be wrong. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 01:58, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I added a couple more athletes in boxing. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 13:59, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks again! By the way, the USA Boxing press release said that Christina Cruz also qualified in the flyweight category here. I'm not sure if this information is in accordance with the information you're using to update the page, so can you please let me know? Thanks! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 03:42, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes she qualified, because the athlete she got beaten by was a professional muay thai fighter and was disqualified. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 18:45, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for confirming for me! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 00:48, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

No problem, and also this weekend we should know the qualifiers for the wrestling tournament. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 01:26, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks again! Also, do you know when the table tennis qualifications are? I've been looking all over for information on that and some of the other sports, but information is quite limited as of now, so anything would be great. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 16:09, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

The qualification tournament for table tennis is at the end of the month in Guadalajara between May 23 - May 31 , 2011. Ya the information is hard to come by considering they are mostly in Spanish. For the wrestling qualification I had to hunt down Spanish news sources to get the information. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 16:36, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I just finished putting up the final qualification results for wrestling, if you wanted to take a look. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 17:18, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Another reminder, I will be putting up the qualification lists for cycling up today. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 16:54, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

The cycling qualification (for road and track) is worded weirdly so I need to decipher it, will you take a look at it and tell me what you get from it. According to the system only 24 males qualify for the road race, and more then double that qualified for the 2007 Pan American Games. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 18:50, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder! It looks like the technical manual says that there are spots for 20 males and 15 females for the road race. Is there any more information on the cycling qualification that you have? Prayerfortheworld (talk) 22:59, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Its weird only 24 male athletes will start when 52 did in Rio. Also, according to this source, [6] nations can enter athletes in other events even if they never qualified. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 01:47, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Some of it makes some sense but some of it I'm not too sure about... Hopefully we'll get some clarification as the days progress and we get nearer to October. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 01:15, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

I noticed on the tennis pages there is two template that are very similar, I think its redundant do you? Intoronto1125TalkContributions 02:33, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I know... the template is made similar to the templates for all tennis events. I'm not sure how the one for MSEs would look, since it is true that we have links on both the infobox and the tennis template. I'm not exactly sure what to do, and as this does deal with WP:TENNIS, I have asked them about it, but there was no reply, and it seems as if it has been ignored. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 01:43, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Sadly many projects are not actively followed. I think we should keep the MSE template on the main article and the tennis one on the sub pages. What do you think? Intoronto1125TalkContributions 02:12, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

By "tennis one", are you referring to the MSE tennis template or the infobox template on the tennis page? I think that it would be most sensible to make an exception for the infoboxes for tennis events at MSEs, just because there are already tennis infoboxes of sorts. In the end, I'm okay with anything, but this does sort of set a precedent, since this issue might come up again at the tennis page for the 2012 London OGs and at other pages too. Which is why I wanted to consult with WP:TENNIS and possibly WP:MSE and WP:OLYMPICS. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 06:56, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I meant this one: [7] on the main article and the other one on the sub pages. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 14:05, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

The PAG infobox (the one you linked above) doesn't give as much information as the tennis infobox, though. The tennis infobox shows the winners of the previous tournaments and gives information in a format that all major tennis matches on Wikipedia are covered in. I still feel that it might be better to go with the tennis infobox templates for this and other scenarios. It just seems to work better. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 01:17, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Okay! You are in control of the racket sports let your imagination go wild. By the way table tennis qualifying starts this sunday. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 02:04, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Alright then, I suppose. Thanks for the heads-up! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 00:00, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

According to the start list for the qualification tournament, [8] the USA has not entered athlete for the male competition. Do you know why? (they have yet to qualify). Intoronto1125TalkContributions 20:46, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm not too sure... I haven't found anything on the event, and the link that you provided doesn't seem to be working. There was an article that came out saying that athlete Mark Hazinski will be participating in the PAGs. I'm not sure how he was qualified or if he is officially participating. Do you have any more information? I have nothing... Prayerfortheworld (talk) 22:16, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

The event starts tomorrow. It was working earlier. According to the qualification manual the States has yet to qualify a men's team. However, the first part of the tournament is open to Latin American countries and then another tournament happens after this one, in which the USA might me competing in. Also, Brazil is competing in both tournaments, but has qualified athletes in both events. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 22:29, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

It all seems rather strange... I found this for the American table tennis team, but I'm not sure if it's the squad going to the PanAm Games or the qualifiers or something else. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 05:36, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Thats an excellent source actually, I think the qualification tournament the USA will compete in is after this one finishes. Here is a link to the tournament and results that are updated after each round [9]. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 23:30, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the link! Yeah, the US doesn't appear in any of those regional events probably because the US isn't in that region. Is the tournament following this one the special tournament that is listed in the qualification section of the PAG table tennis page? Prayerfortheworld (talk) 01:25, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

It should be held immediately after this tournament finishes, but there is no mention of it anywhere. Keep up the great work! Intoronto1125TalkContributions 01:39, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

An article on the main website says the special qualification tournament will be held right after this tournament. Do you mind if change up the badminton qualification table a bit? Intoronto1125TalkContributions 03:44, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Okay then, we'll be able to see what happens, I suppose. Not at all, not at all! Has anything come out for participants in the badminton competition? Prayerfortheworld (talk) 03:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

The rankings that come out tomorrow will be used, but I went ahead and used the rankings from last week and I have a list (which I believe will not be altered in a huge way). Intoronto1125TalkContributions 03:58, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I put up the karate qualifications if you wanted to take a look. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 02:44, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up! By the way, I haven't seen the United States in the table tennis qualifications at all. Do you know what's going on? Prayerfortheworld (talk) 03:58, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Supposed to start tomorrow with the information I have [10]. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 04:17, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Another update, I have also put up the judo qualification. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 15:31, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the information, as always! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 22:26, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

No problem! Its not official the USA has qualified a men's table tennis team. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 02:44, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Another update! I have updated the beach volleyball qualification standings. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 03:48, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks as always! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 06:07, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Another update! I have updated the roller skating qualifications.

Thank you again! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 06:12, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

2011 French Open

The new guy is funny, he is not realizing that he is arguing with everyone else, which is funny. Sorry if I bothered you just needed to say it. Dencod16 (talk) 14:18, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

How pathetic Dencord at you want to go around bullying just cause you can't get your own way. Grow up. 400 not out (talk) 15:55, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

WP:CIVIL, please. I'm not convinced you're a 'new guy' at least. Kuru (talk) 18:35, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Infobox curling club

Hi. I have not looked at that thing in a long time, nor am I an expert at templates of documenting them. I think what happened was I created it when I created the wiki article for Charlotte Centre Curling Club. When the wiki-nazis deleted that article due to lack of notability, I said 'to hell with it'. If someone in the curling project wants to take-over that template and clean it up, that's groovy with me. Otherwise, I'll get back to it, but it might not be in the immediate future. Eric Cable  |  Talk  15:02, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I thought your name looked framilliar. You were one of the ones who "voted" to delete the above-named article. Eric Cable  |  Talk  15:06, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I'll take a look at cleaning up the template. By the way, I actually did not vote to delete Charlotte Centre Curling Club. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 22:02, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
