== Reversion at ] ==

Bidgee, in regard to and similar actions that you might consider, I suggest the following:
# It is not wise to revert to a version that mis-spells the name of the article's subject in the lede of the article.
# If you are concerned about a date format, change the format of the date, don't just revert changes to multiple parts of the article.
# Since you are removing material you had previously removed, you might like to think about the "D" part of BRD - take it to talk, don't just revert.
# The Sydney Morning Herald is a newspaper published in Sydney, not a web source. I changed the ref format from ''cite web'' to ''cite news'' for this reason. You reverted. That was an inappropriate edit.
Basically, making a small edit that addresses your concern is a much more collegial way to edit an article, rather than just reverting. ] (]) 06:34, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

eXpress vs Express

eXpress is grammatically incorrect. The spelling of the word is Express. The use of X as an abbreviation for Express is quite common. For example NXEC is the abbreviation for National Express East Coast, not National eXpress East Coast.Mo7838 (talk) 23:33, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

That is your view. NXEC is called by its full title, XTP isn't. There are a few other articles where the company is known by its abbreviation and the formation of the name is done in the way of the abbreviation, not the grammar. Bidgee (talk) 06:26, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
I have sought a Misplaced Pages:third opinion on this. I hope you will join me in accepting the decision of the third party should one be receieved. Merry Xmas Bidgee.Mo7838 (talk) 10:20, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Rewriting the two rugby league players into the Sports section seem to be a logical fit. I note the example you suggested Wagga Wagga has done just that for its NRL stars. Regards CamV8 (talk) 21:44, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
