AfD Category

Hi,

Saw that you placed McMaster Integrated Science under AfD debates (Media and music). I am a bit puzzled. Could you just explain? Thanks -- Raziman T V (talk) 18:15, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

My mistake. From the word program i made a hasty decision. Armbrust _Contribs 18:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I am usually quite confused what category to place AfDs in. Thanks for the help -- Raziman T V (talk) 18:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

This edit

I was wondering about the edit about: what is served by changing the template? (Just wondering, since I used TW to AfD the article, I assumed it was formed correctly). Best, -- Bfigura 20:38, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

The goal of this edit was to categorize the discussion. Since the article is about a corporation this edit is right. Armbrust _Contribs 20:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Ah, gotcha. I wasn't that familiar with the afd template syntax. (One of the peril's of using twinkle I suppose). Thanks. --Bfigura 20:48, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

AfD

Hi there. In response to your AfD vote, I did some work on the Water conflicts article, addressing the major issues. When you have a moment, please take another look at it. It's quite different, so if it meets your standards for a keep vote, please consider commenting over at the article's entry on at AfD. Thanks.—DMCer™ 09:10, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Have modified my comment according to the changes to the article. Armbrust _Contribs 17:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for taking another look.—DMCer™ 18:24, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Darts

Discussion at WikiProject Council subpage

The following discussion is an archived proposal of the WikiProject below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the project's talk page (if created) or the WikiProject Council). No further edits should be made to this page. The resulting WikiProject was created at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Darts Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Darts Description I think there are enough article to indicate the necessity of this project, which would aim to improve the coverage of darts on the en.Misplaced Pages.

If not, it should be set up as a taskforce/workgroup of WikiProject Sports. Lots of dead and dying sporting and gaming projects should also be redone as taskforces of that one or of WikiProject Games (e.g. WikiProject Pinball, which I recently overhauled, but is still too moribund to be an active project). — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(ل)ˀ  Contribs. 03:17, 29 December 2009 (UTC) I volunteer to do a bunch of category cleanup and stuff, like I've done with Category:Cue sports and Category:Pinball. I would probably not be a regular contributor to stuff within the project's scope after that, as my to-do list is already huge. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(ل)ˀ Contribs. 03:09, 18 January 2010 (UTC) Agreed, I would support this as a taskforce of WikiProject Sports. -- œ 08:53, 3 January 2010 (UTC) I have to agree with the previous two comments, a taskforce will be more suitable initially than a full blown WikiProject. - Nick C (t·c) 22:50, 3 January 2010 (UTC) Yep, I echo those sentiments. Cs-wolves(talk) 05:09, 18 January 2010 (UTC) Further comment: I do note that activity on the topic has been active lately-ish, including a (poorly formatted, but content-okay) glossary of darts article. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(ل)ˀ Contribs. 03:07, 18 January 2010 (UTC) I am certain the recent surge of activity is related to the 2 world championships held recently, as they are no doubt the most watched tournaments. I doubt this activity will last.--Atlan (talk) 11:17, 18 January 2010 (UTC)  Note to incoming readers: If you came here because I left a note on your talk page, that was because this proposed project/taskforce will need committed editors interested in darts-related topics to collaborate in the project/taskforce, and your editing history suggests you may be interested in participating. This is not a vote, especially not on whether or not darts is a notable enough topic for a project (of course it is). The only question on the table is whether enough editors will focus on the topic to make a project or a taskforce viable. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(ل)ˀ Contribs. 05:27, 18 January 2010 (UTC) Support a taskforce. I'm not really opposed to a Wikiproject Darts, but I think the scope is somewhat narrow, and there are too little active editors on darts related topics to justify a project. I do feel many, if not all, darts articles are substandard and it would be a good thing if there was some concerted effort to improve them.--Atlan (talk) 11:15, 18 January 2010 (UTC) Support: It is a very good idea as darts is increasing in popularity and is one of the biggest sports in the UK. There are articles on darts that are not updated and there need to be more added to players and tournaments articles. Mr.Kennedy1 (talk) 22:48, 20 July 2010 (UTC) Support: Darts is greatly increasing in popularity. There are many different variants of darts which could be outlined in more detail as well. Falkybassist (talk) 18:09, 21 July 2010 (UTC) Support: I agree that the quality of articles needs to match the increase in popularity that darts has rightly achieved. --Joesayers (talk) 17:04, 29 July 2010 (UTC) The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the project's talk page (if created) or at the WikiProject Council). No further edits should be made to this page.

I've been notifying other editors that seem like likely participants, based on their editing histories. I don't have any interested in darts articles myself, per se, but have volunteered to do the category overhauling, since I have a lot of experience with that. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(ل)ˀ Contribs. 04:55, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Snooker biography reverts

Were you planning on explaining this and this? Neither revert is productive. Unless there's a compelling reason to have undone those changes I will be restoring them. In future, I don't expect to have to come to your talk page to find out why work which took me over an hour to complete was reverted without so much as an edit summary. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 22:13, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Because it looks ugly. And if we add new tournaments to the Ronnie O'Sullivan article then it will horizontal scrolling is inevitable (a new ranking event is anounced in Germany). And the tennis tournaments performance timelines have the same format. Armbrust _Contribs 22:20, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Horizontal scrolling is already necessary on the Hendry article. Which is more likely: that another tournament will be added, or that next year will happen? For every year that goes by the current format becomes less practical. The tables need to be split up in the long run to accommodate that, but for now the best short-term solution is to transpose the years and awards. If the tennis articles use that format then thay should be changed too. Unless there's been some previous consensus that the old format was the correct choice then I'll undo these tomorrow. That still does not explain why you chose not only not to notify me but also not to even bother leaving an edit summary when reverting a significant amount of work made in good faith. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 22:27, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm against transposing and will revert it again. Armbrust _Contribs 22:29, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll take this to WT:SNOOKER, but I find your combatative attitude here extremely disappointing. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 22:42, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Tennis Lists

Hello again from bluedogtn, I just want you to go look at these three lists and tell me what you think of them now, and those are the following: List of French Open Singles Finals appearances, List of Wimbledon Open Era Singles Finals appearances, and List of US Open Singles Finals appearances. BLUE_DOG 02:10, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

The articles look good for me, but they need references (into the intro section) and notes (for players who had not only one citizenship in their carreer like in the List of Australian Open Singles Finals appearances). Armbrust _Contribs 02:24, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Andy Murray

Yes, the best result is still those, but the 2010 is pending and needs to be put in the infobox like I did this! BLUE_DOG20:15, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Armbrust _Contribs 20:26, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Deletion!

List of Australian Open Singles Finals appearances, go comment to keep this from being deleted. 69.137.120.81 (talk) 22:31, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Made a comment. I hope it will help. Will follow the discussion. Armbrust _Contribs 23:12, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Singles Finals

Hello, can you go take off the tag because I sourced the following pages: List of French Open Singles Finals appearances, List of Wimbledon Open Era Singles Finals appearances, and List of US Open Singles Finals appearances. Thanks! BLUE_DOG 01:56, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Have removed them. Armbrust _Contribs 09:08, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. BLUE_DOG 19:15, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

WPBiography parameter change

Bad news. The |priority= parameter in {{WPBiography}} is now basically dead code and has to be changed to |sports-priority= or for non-sportspeople something else that is taskforce-specific. Letting you know, since you tag (and create for that matter) a lot of snooker and tennis bios. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(ل)ˀ Contribs. 01:41, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Why don't we want this data? — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(ل)ˀ Contribs. 15:56, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Corrected and relocated the previously removed information. Armbrust _Contribs 17:51, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Cool. I guess what constitutes an "other win" that is significant enough for the infobox is an open question... SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(ل)ˀ Contribs. 18:54, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Women's Singles Slam Articles

Hello Armbrust, go look at these pages that I did mostly on my own List of Australian Open Women's Singles champions, List of French Open Women's Singles champions, List of Wimbledon Ladies' Singles champions, and List of US Open Women's Singles champions. Thanks BLUE_DOG 04:07, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

My comments to this sites are:

1. The List of Australian Open Women's Singles champions is well sourced. I have added two pictures to it.
2. On the List of French Open Women's Singles champions in the "Multiple champions" section the "Only French tennis clubs' members competed before 1925" sentence doesn't make any sense to me, as it is not represented in the table. The article is well sourced. I have added three pictures to it.
3. On the List of French Open Women's Singles champions in the "Multiple champions" section the "Title defended in the challenge round" sentence doesn't make any sense to me, as it is not represented in the table. The article is well sourced. I have added four pictures to it.
4. On the List of US Open Women's Singles champions in the "Multiple champions" section the "Title defended in the challenge round" sentence doesn't make any sense to me, as it is not represented in the table. The article is well sourced. I have added four pictures to it. Armbrust _Contribs 19:56, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

"Title Defended in the challenge round" means the champion from the previous year won it the next during the challenge round not an open competition. "Only French tennis clubs' members competed before 1925" means outsiders or foreigners could not compete unless they had the backing of a French Tennis Club, so it was not open to outside competition. Good Questions! I think these are close when someone wants to put in the notes like they are on the men's for FL status. BLUE_DOG 20:07, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

2010 Australian Open

Go look at the knock-out charts that I made hideable, and tell me what you think.BLUE_DOG 00:09, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Looks good, but if he "Singles players" section don't use 2 columns, then i think the playes can have their full names in the table (Marcos Baghdatis instead of M Baghdatis). Armbrust _Contribs 00:19, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I agree, but that is a bunch of work, which we can do over a couple of weeks, or you can make it that way if you want it done quicker! Oh by the way, it goes back to the 2008 Wimbledon ChampionshipsBLUE_DOG 00:23, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I will leave the pre-2010's in the shortened form, but for the post-2009's will be all the full name. I have already done the 2010 Australian Open page, go look, and tell me what you think.BLUE_DOG 02:57, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Have made the pre-2010's for the sake of consistency. Armbrust _Contribs 12:46, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Roger Federer career statistics

Hello again, go look at the bottom and tell me if you don't think that is OVERKILL! BLUE_DOG 00:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

If you mean the "List of Federer's ITF and ATP matches" section, then i think it is unnecessary and creates size problem. Armbrust _Contribs 00:16, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I agree, which that is what I was talking about! BLUE_DOG 00:18, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello Armbrust, I just wanted to let you know, and give you a heads up that I am working on this nomination.BLUE_DOG 06:27, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Asian Handball

Is this enough ? --Mohsen1248 (talk) 21:07, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes. This is perfectly fine. But if the source isn't right, then you should add references to every match. (At the |report= parameter) .Armbrust _Contribs 21:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I think todor66 is a reliable source, this is just a mistake, I will inform them to fix it. also I added another source. --Mohsen1248 (talk) 22:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

User:Bluedogtn/Roger Federer in 2009

What do you think about this article, and the intro for 2009 on the main page will be the first paragraph of this article? BLUE_DOG 20:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Looks good to me, but if he lost a matche then how can the result be "7–5, 3–6, 7–6(3), 3–6, 6–2"? Shouldn't it "5-7, 6-3, 6-7(3), 6-3, 2-6"? Armbrust _Contribs 21:00, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I fixed them both in the introductions, good work Armbrust, and in the slam chart, but it needs to be fixed on the career stats page!BLUE_DOG 21:30, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I think that the "All matches" section shouldn't contains matche where the opponent is a "Bye". These are no matches. Armbrust _Contribs 21:39, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

The ATP considers it a match just go look, but that is something we can discuss later after I get them all done, but before it is implemented! BLUE_DOG 22:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

By the way, the ATP puts a W in the results section, so they count them as overall wins! BLUE_DOG 23:03, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

If the ATP counts it that way, than it's fine. It was just funny. Armbrust _Contribs 23:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

They don't count it towards the career total of W-L, but they do have a W for a result, which means we need to report it in the tables!BLUE_DOG 03:08, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Roger Federer

Go look how this article looks now, and tell me what you think of it now?BLUE_DOG 02:20, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

My opinions

1. The tables in the sections "Wins (16)" and "Runner-ups (6)" should be combined in a section like "Finals (24, 16-8)". The table should have a similar format like in the "Olympic finals" section.  Done
2. The word "legendary" in the section-title "2007 to present: Achieving legendary status" fails WP:NPOV.  Done
3. I think the tables in the results section should be constantly collapsed.  Done
4. Reference 51 isn't properly formated. (It doesn't use {{cite web}}.  Done
5. Reference 1 and 2 are the same.  Done
6. The sections ("1998–2002: Early career in the ATP" and "2003–present: Top 10 and Grand Slam success") are totally unsourced.  Done
7. I think the citation in the "Junior ranks" section belongs to Wikiquote.  Done
8. It would be good if the "2003–2006: Rise to Prominence" section contains a picture taken between 2003 and 2006.  Done

With regards Armbrust _Contribs 03:10, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Now, do you think it is close to GA or FA status after my work? Why?BLUE_DOG 05:21, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but i can't help you with that, as i don't know the criteria for GA and FA. Great job anyways. Armbrust _Contribs 22:58, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Here is the one on Juan Martin del Potro that was approved to GA, and here is the link, if you want to help me or not! Because, I have it set-up on the Federer talk page.BLUE_DOG00:23, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Will look at it morning. Armbrust _Contribs 01:01, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Ronnie O'Sullivan

Why do the season's have 2004/2005, which is a violation of policy, and I believe needs to be changed throughout Snooker Project articles in order to be in compliance! It needs to be 2004–05 to be in compliance.BLUE_DOG 01:26, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Because the major snooker sources use this format. And the policy says only "avoid" the use of slash charaters in titles, and it doesn't says, that it's forbiden. Armbrust _Contribs 11:17, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Under section headings it has a one line sentence, which says it applies to section headings and titles of articles.BLUE_DOG 20:16, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Portal: Current events/Sports

Thank you very much for your contribution to this page. On one hand, it has taken most of the workload I used to do... on the other hand, it has left me unemployed, but I'll get over it...
Do you think it would be a good idea to co-ordinate our efforts so that everyone will be in charge of several sports, or whatever way we find suitable to divide the work among us? --Nitsansh (talk) 14:34, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

It's a good idea. I would like to do the following sports: cricket, handball, snooker and tennis. And for now to add the medalist to the section "Olympic Games". If you agree, then it would be like this: on every day we concentrate on the "chosen sports", but if the result isn't present on the following day, than the other person can add it too. (If it contains errors, than this can be corrected immediately.) Armbrust _Contribs 15:08, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Let's try, and see how it works...

I also want to advise you of some formatting rules that were established here that you should be aware of:

1. Use present time expressions, "win", lead" etc.
2. Results figures are seperated by – rather that -. If you don't have that character write – (in small letters)
3. In tennis, I think it's useless at this early time of the year to indicate that someone wins his first title of the year, but if anyone has more than one title since New Year's Day that should be indicated.
4. In cricket, the practice I use is to indicate century scorers, but in multi-day events to do that only once on the day this mark is achieved.
5. In individual sports with plenty of competitors, the practice is to indicate the top 3 in the format: place, name, (country or team), score (ignore the comas). Coloured place icons ( etc.) are used for final results only. Partial scores are indicated by black&white icons (Template:(1)).

I keep in my computer a file with "frequently used expressions" that I use to copy from whenever I need instead of typing them. I can share them with you. --Nitsansh (talk) 19:39, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Another tip I like to share with you: when I edit the /sidebar section, I do a search for the date I look for, presided by * (for example: *feb 20 for February 20). I used to do it once a day only, I don't see it necessary to remove each entry as soon as a game is over.

Ronnie O'Sullivan and WP:GAN

Hello, Armbrust, I will be the reviewer for you on this article if you want to put the thing on the talk page of his, and go look at Talk:Roger Federer to see what I had to do!BLUE_DOG 21:13, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

The first sentence of Personal Life does not make grammer sense at all because of the publically highly part! The article is good in the prose quality, but could always be improved in the article. Some sentences could use references at the end of them. I have read the whole article, but I don't understand why the score for the frames are very different depending on event?BLUE_DOG 23:04, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Updating live scores for ongoing matches

For the record let me say that imho this shouldn't be done. Just one opinion here, but Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a live ticker. --87.79.56.238 (talk) 21:14, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

In this case it can be done, as not just the score was modified. Other information was added too. Armbrust _Contribs 21:21, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough. I'm also very aware that trying to stop people from updating live scores is like kicking water uphill -- I ain't gonna win. Just wanted to speak my mind to someone I guess. Anyway, have a nice evening and let's enjoy the rest of the match! --87.79.56.238 (talk) 21:23, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry random person from Germany, you do not write the rules for the Misplaced Pages. People always update live events. Football, Olympics, basketball, when someone dies: if it has happened, it gets put into the Wiki. No just freaking drop it.

Armbrust, continue doing what you are doing and ignore this bitter man. --99.182.252.92 (talk) 10:50, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

A special well done goes to Sasata (submissions), our round one winner (1010 points), and to Hunter Kahn (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions), who were second and third respectively (640 points/605 points). Sasata was awarded the most points for both good articles (300 points) and featured articles (600 points), and TonyTheTiger was awarded the most for featured topics (225 points), while Hunter Kahn claimed the most for good topics (70). Staxringold (submissions) claimed the most featured lists (240 points) and featured pictures (35 points), Geschichte (submissions) claimed the most for Did you know? entries (490 points), Jujutacular (submissions) claimed the most for featured sounds (70 points) and Candlewicke (submissions) claimed the most for In the news entries (40 points). No one claimed a featured portal or valued picture.

Credits awarded after the end of round one but before round two may be claimed in round two, but remember the rule that content must have been worked on in some significant way during 2010 by you for you to claim points. The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews.

A legalább 100 százas breaket lökő snookerjátékosok listája”

Szia! Volt egy átnevezésed a közelmúltban és rákérdezek, tényleg jó-e így - én magam nem értek a sporthoz. Ez volt a régi cím: A legtöbb 100-as vagy annál jobb breaket lökő snookerjátékosok listája, ez lett az új: A legalább 100 százas breaket lökő snookerjátékosok listája. Ezt biztos úgy kell írni, hogy 100 százast? Nem maradt benne véletlenül egynél több száz? Kösz előre is, szevasz! (Pls. nálam válaszolj!) December 23:24, 6 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.156.187.130 (talk)

Nem maradt több benne, mert a "százas break" egy fogalom a snooker-ben. A cím azt jelenti, hogy ebből a dologból ezek a játékosok profi pályafutásuk során profi versenyeken legalább 100-at löktek. Pontosabb cím lenne talán a következő: "A legalább 100 darab százas breaket lökő snookerjátékosok listája". Armbrust _Contribs 23:30, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly. Hunter Kahn (submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B. TonyTheTiger (submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for.

2010 Qatar motorcycle Grand Prix

Hi there! Saw you editing this article. Have you any idea why the infobox isn't working properly, ie not showing the pole riders etc, when the info has been added? I can't work it out! GedUK  20:39, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

It looks like the infobox isn't working properly, if you hasn't give all the info's to a certain Category (MotoGP, Moto2, 125 cc). In this case the following dates aren't present: fast rider, first rider, second rider and third rider. Armbrust _Contribs 20:48, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

If this information aren't available at the moment, than you should write "TBD". Armbrust _Contribs 20:50, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, that shouldn't make any difference. I'll try it tomorrow, I've not got time tonight now. Thanks for your help! GedUK  20:54, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

World Snooker Championship

I have explained my edit, unlike you have your reversion of it. The article is the main article for the world snooker championship, not a particular and arbitrary era of it. It is highly against the point of an objective encyclopaedia to use it in that way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.0.207.0 (talk) 16:17, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

The article is about the World Snooker Championship, but it doesn't mean that one section can't describe only one era. Armbrust _Contribs 16:22, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps it would be better if both tables were included on List of world snooker champions rather than the main championship article. After all, it is more about the world champions than the world championship itself. Betty Logan (talk) 16:38, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

But the table contains players, who hasn't won the world championship. Armbrust _Contribs 16:41, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I didn't notice that. The sortable table is more informative though so the IP should at least cease in removing it altogether. Maybe we could have a similar table for the classic era, to remove the bias towards modern players. Betty Logan (talk) 16:57, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Please explain...

Why adding three times champion John Higgins is unacceptable. It is not unusual for past multiple sports champions to be referred to in such a style. Leaky Caldron 20:18, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Because he only defend one World Championship, not three. Armbrust _Contribs 20:31, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Current tournament link in World Snooker Championship

Hi, Just wondering why you have an objection to such a link. It would only be temporary until the tournament is over. Sure one can search for it, but unless you know the exact wording/title format, most people look for a link as it is quicker and easier. In the current article, one has to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, then click on 'show' on the World Snooker Championship template to list all the tournaments, and then click on '2010'. Or one would have to scroll halfway down to the List of world snooker champions link, and then scroll down to 2010 (which shouldn't be there anyway as the tournament is not over and so there is no winner yet).

Doesn't that seem slightly difficult to navigate? Most sport tournaments, such as any of the tennis Grand Slams, Masters, etc., have an infobox on the top left hand side which one can edit. In fact this extends to every sport where there is a yearly competition, such as Formula One or the any of the football leagues throughout the world. However as there is none for snooker (apart from a list of different tournaments), isn't it then acceptable to have a link at the top of the page to direct users to the current tournament? This is definitely present in other articles as that is where I got the idea from, but unfortunately I cannot think of one right now (most sports are more extensively updated and so tend to have infoboxes). I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this. Feudonym (talk) 03:29, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

The other snooker tournament articles don't use this link. Why should the world championship use it then. And all snooker tournaments have the same format XXXX tournament name. Armbrust _Contribs 08:10, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

In my opinion, other articles not using a particular format is a fairly weak reason for non-inclusion. If we always used that policy then no articles would advance past the stub stage. The World Championship is also more popular so that should set the precedent for the other articles. Anyway, it only would have been for 2 weeks so not a permanent change (I still don't know why you have an objection if its only temporary). Anyway, someone's since added a current tournament tag (it may even be you, I don't know) but do you still disagree to that since "other snooker tournament articles don't use this link"?

Yeah, because it isn't necesary. The page already contains a link to the current tournament. And it doesn't mater where the link is. Armbrust _Contribs 14:56, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

That link is buried all the way down in a template which is also hidden. If that is your reasoning, then a lot of articles would look very different if it were up to you! For someone who seems to be a prolific user and editor of Misplaced Pages, it is baffling that you're this unhelpful. In future, I'd suggest removing correct and helpful information should at least be accompanied by an edit summary. Feudonym (talk) 06:15, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

By the way, I know all snooker tournaments have the "same format XXXX tournament name", I was talking about new users, and ones which are not accustomed to the format.Feudonym (talk) 14:17, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2010 World Snooker Championship. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.

Note: being "right" is not a sufficient reason to edit war. --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:34, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Just to add to that, if you continue the sequence of reverts, I will block you because the article is now on the Main Page. Thank you, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:26, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

2009-10 IRB Sevens World Series

I just wanted to understand why you insist on removing the quarterfinals for the 2010 Hong Kong Sevens. You say consistency, but every other tournament has each team that competed in the tournament on the table. Now that you have made that change, only the Hong Kong tournament does not. How is this consistent? Furthermore, go back and look at all the previous IRB Sevens World Series. Every single one of them has all 24 teams from the tournament. Not only are you not being consistent - as you say you are - but this is the first tournament in 10 years of tournaments that does not include every team that participated in the table. Again, I ask, how is this consistent? Bds69 (talk) 18:32, 23 May 2010 (UTC) bds69
