DYK for Lucy Mathen

New Page Patrol survey

Bill Smith (fell runner)

Thanks for the kind words, which is the only positive feedback I've gotten. The edit history was affected by the ever growing reports in a heckuvalot of sources. I also got accused of plagiarism by one of our esteemed admins, who was hallucinating (and I am trying to be WP:civil); trying to make sure that no three words were shared in common with the more than 30 sources wasn't easy. I'm going to avoid doing comprehensive articles like this again, avoid quoting, and avoid this kind of needless effort, at least if I am thinking about getting a DYK. I'm tired of the horseshit I've encountered there. I've vastly cut back on my editing as a result. Even as they granted the DYK they negatively opined about the form and sourcing of the article; which is (IMHO) a helluva lot better than 90% of the DYKs one sees. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:06, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Ajanta Caves

By , do you mean that the stuff removed (most of the article) is a WP:COPYVIO? It is not clear that it is WP:OR, indeed this doesn't look likely. If so, can you add a note at the talk, saying which work etc. Thanks. Johnbod (talk) 14:02, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I have reverted - I'll copy this to the talk and explain why. Johnbod (talk) 14:48, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

History of Maharashtra

Good call - I tried to save something, sadly 80% had to go - all from the book "Maharashtra". Not sure if that leaves a viable article. Maybe someone will clean up.  Ronhjones  23:43, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

New discussion occurring – Increasing portal visibility

I liked your idea about having a portal links tab on the main Misplaced Pages page. This would increase viewer awareness about the existence of portals, and would very likely be conducive toward overall portal improvement. If more people become aware of the portals, then more people will likely contribute to them.

I've started a new discussion with a specific focus upon increasing portal visibility on the portal discussion page here: Misplaced Pages talk: Portal - Ideas to increase portal visibility. —Northamerica1000 05:50, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

U. S. Open Track and Field

Yes I must admit, the its a disappointment to see a 98 year old tradition so willingly pushed aside. You'd think they'd try to work with each other. But I was in the highest level meetings at USATF and their spin was just to push the new meet (and cast the old one aside in ignoring it). They have assumed the "tradition" of the elite events at Millrose, but apparently now Millrose is the high school/community meet and not at MSG. It wasn't in their self serving press release, I had to use the word displace as my more neutral analytical judgement. And obviously by getting into those meetings, I have some rank myself within USATF. Trackinfo (talk) 00:31, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

I left a note on the talk page about the IIHF rules for eligibility, together with an official source that may answer the 'gender' issue. Additionally the rules have some prohibitions for underage players, but I don't know if adding those details to the page are helpful, or just clutter.18abruce (talk) 17:34, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Re:AthResult template

Hi. Great idea with the template. Saves lots of time, especially when creating a new table from scratch. I'll try to give you more feedback when I use it some more. Good work! Pietaster (talk) 14:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi SFB. Also appreciate your work! First Comments:

1.) Missing Competitions (first guess on existing WP articles): Athletics at the South American Games (ODESUR), Central American Games, Bolivarian Games. NACAC Championships, Oceania Athletics Championships. There might also emerge a future top athlete from the Central American and Caribbean Age Group Championships.

2.) With respect to Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships in Athletics and CARIFTA Games: both are combined junior/youth competitions (same place, same time, but different events, own medals,...). Proposition to introduce something like "CARJ" and "CARY", and "CACJC" and "CACYC" for differentiation.

3.) Gender: Junior and Youth competitions often use "Boys" and "Girls" rather than "Men" and "Women".

However: In the Bios of the athletes winning medals at the CARIFTA Games, I used (intentionally) the {{MedalTable}} rather than the {{AchievementTable}} because it is much less work. There is similar information when both tables are present (problem of redundancy).

Greetings. CroesJ (talk) 15:08, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

New Year Ekiden

Glad someone else is involved with this topic and helping make the pages conform. Regarding what I did on the New Year Ekiden page, it was an attempt to show that New Year Ekiden is the informal name of one of two races that constitute the Japan Corporate Ekiden Championships (the women being in December, the men on new year's day). I also wanted to situate the two races in the context of their qualification rounds, which these two championships partly share. I did the same approach on All-Japan_Women's_Corporate_Ekiden_Championships. I did not intend for full discussion of the women's race on the men's page and vice versa, but sought at least some cross-referencing and framework building. Is there room for discussion on what should be at the top of the New Year Ekiden page? This is the first time I have used the talk page, so not sure if I have done this right.

PSD Bank Meeting

Hi. The reference is just about the 2008 competition! It's not about the history (2006-2007)! Info about current meeting would be more helpful.Montell 74 (talk) 22:51, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Articles are supposed to cover the topic in general, not just its most recent incarnation. I thought the fact that two of the biggest foreign European markets (Russia and Italy) broadcast this meeting at a national level was something that was particularly interesting for an indoor meeting. This is completely unusual for an indoor meeting, which are usually only broadcast on international level providers such as Eurosport and the respective national broadcaster. SFB 18:32, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

You're right. This is a notable fact regarding 2008 (!) competition. So I changed the intro. Unfortunately the reference link doesn't work.Montell 74 (talk) 21:04, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
