Did I do a N:POV job covering Louisville aspects of the game in the article? I'm a Tech grad, so it can be tough at times. If there's anything bugging you, let me know, and I'll try to fit it in or tell you why I did it a certain way. JKBrooks85 (talk) 09:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Independent cities in Virginia

[edit]

Thanks for pointing out the independent cities in the OmniRide article and about CUE being the city of Fairfax not Fairfax County in Metrorail (Washington, D.C.). As someone who spent fifteen years in Virginia, I understand and appreciate the effort you're putting in, because it's an important distinction, with cities NOT being part of their surrounding counties. Outside of Virginia, people don't seem to quite get it, and even in Virginia, a lot of people don't seem to understand it. So thanks for putting in the effort to keep Virginia's unique treatment of municipalities accurate. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template

[edit]

I saw your message at Template talk:Horseracing personalities infobox. I have no skills, but think someone should adjust the Template to allow the death place.

Hey Dale - I see you're mostly doing sports-related work now, but if you're interested in helping me plow through a thankless task, I'm workingon adding external links to all the courts at Courts of the United States (preferably to official court cites). If I could get a handful of folks such as yourself to look up and add a handful of links, that would bring the job to a quick close and I could proceed with my plan to submit it for featured list consideration.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Napoli Basket.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Napoli Basket.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of sportspeople by nickname

[edit]

Hey Dale,

I saw you've started changing "U.S." by American in the abovementioned page. What's your rationale? I do think "U.S." is more specific, and changing all mentions could prove unnecessarily burdensome. Mrbluesky (talk) 17:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Culture of Oceania

[edit]

Hi, The template name is broader than the template's subtitle, "Culture of Indigenous Oceania" but the template links to pages about indigenous culture. I can appreciate the enthusiasm of wanting to add the link to the Haka of the All Blacks to the template, because Rugby has been very successfully adopted by some indigenous people, and made more interesting by things like the All Blacks' haka. I don't think it is part of the Maori indigenous culture, though, do you?.

Previously, I had the haka link go to Haka (disambiguation) because that page shows not only a link to Haka of the All Blacks but also shows links to four other haka (indigenous dance) pages. I settled on the existing link to Haka because it includes a page-top link to the disambiguation page which shows all of the other hakas, and the Haka#See also section includes the Haka of the All Blacks. Don't you think that the Haka of the All Blacks is a stretch to include in a template on indigenous oceanian culture? Thank you for your thought and enthusiasm.

Ricky Rubio page vandalism

[edit]

Are you an admin or mod? If not can you tell me who is in the basketball project? Because the Ricky Rubio page is being vandalized on a daily basis and I am really getting sick of having to deal with it. Someone needs to ban all the vandals that are wrecking that page. I don't have the time to keep fixing it and nothing is being done about it.

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Women's Football / Soccer Task Force News: August 2017


Should the women's football task force become WikiProject: WOSO?

According to an op-ed in the recent Signpost, some editors think task forces and subgroups are dying in 2017.

What do you think about forming our own WikiProject separate from WP:FOOTY? There's an on-going discussion of the potential pros and cons on the task force talk page. Input is welcome.

Recent developments

New initiatives have been created for:

  • FA WSL (England's top-division league)
  • NCAA (American university teams, conferences, etc.)
  • W-League (Australia's top-division league)
Ongoing tournaments
Current and upcoming seasons for top-division leagues
Did you know?

While WP:FPL lists only two women's top-division leagues as notable due to its "fully professional" criteria, did you know you can create an article on any player in any league as long as the references meet WP:GNG guidelines? Make sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}.

Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page if you'd like and other editors may be able to help. Need tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? Leave a message on the task force talk page.

Hello WOSO editors! A few initiatives have been started with an emphasis on making more WOSO links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles.

If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, take a look at the initiatives listed in the box below. Sign up at the bottom of an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles ... or create your own initiative.

Did you know ...

WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in 1 active women's league)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines.

Hello WOSO editors!

What a year to be alive. As usual (but perhaps even moreso since there have been unexpected quarantines), there has been a lot of activity on player, team, league and tournament-related Wikipedia articles with all of the worldwide coverage of women's football / soccer. Great work!

Fall Focus: FA WSL articles

You may have noticed lots of great things going on for the top English league this year: the FA WSL. More (international!) broadcasts, top international player signings, improved media coverage, and increased viewership. Let's keep the momentum brewing, shall we?

Here's a sampling of articles that could use creation, expansion or updating. What will you commit to working on?

Historical Topics
Managers
Teams
Players
Other

See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Women's football task force/Initiatives/FA WSL to collaborate and organize with other editors.

Every little bit helps! Thanks for your contributions!

A tag has been placed on Category:Swimming articles with audio files requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

  • I wasn't in a position to take a picture of it, but I believe remnants of the left-field wall were standing. You may want to try to find someone who's in the Charleston area who can confirm this. — Dale Arnett (talk) 18:30, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For this fix. I made that template late last night and when I double-checked myself to see if the abbreviations were correct, I must have glanced over Kansas. -Jrcla2 (talk)(contribs) 19:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2008-09 Heineken Cup: Why is Edinburgh eliminated?

[edit]

They can win ther last match with bonus point and get to 15 points, the same as Leicester and Bath, currently the best 2 teams in second place. So why are they marked in red?--Nitsansh (talk) 00:34, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • My take on the situation: You are right that they can get to 15 points, and I've removed the red... at least for now. However:
    • If both Leicester and Bath pick up so much as a bonus point in their remaining matches, Edinburgh are out.
    • Also, Clermont and Sale will play in the last round. At least one of the teams will get to 15 points regardless of the result, and there's a very unlikely scenario where both will get to 15. Clermont can max out at 18, and Sale can max out at 16.
  • So, although Edinburgh aren't eliminated yet, their chances are on life support. — Dale Arnett (talk) 01:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I looked back in history and it appears they were "eliminated" allready after the previous round of matches... I knew you were not responsible but thought you might know... I don't know the tie break rules for best runners-up so I thought there could be some reason... but since there's no possibility of head-to-head comparison it must be something like points-difference or number of ties, and therefor mathematically any team capable of getting into a tie for second place is still alive...

Also... I find it confusing that all teams in first place and the two best runners-up are marked in green and blue, even though currently only one team has secured a place in the quarterfinals... the common practice that I know of is to mark teams in various colours only if they secured qualification/elimination etc...--Nitsansh (talk) 02:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Country 3-letter codes

[edit]

Hi Dale

I've noticed that you have a habit of changing country codes from those used by sports organizations and various news agencies to codes used by I-have-no-idea-who... for example: SUI to CHE, GER to DEU, GRE to GRC etc... what's the problem... the templates yield the same results anyway...--Nitsansh (talk) 16:39, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tennis tie break scores format

[edit]

What makes you state that "the normal format is to present the loser score only"... is it a rule of tennis?--Nitsansh (talk) 16:44, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's not a rule... but at least in the States, every sports media outlet I've seen lists tiebreak scores with the loser's score only, because the winner's score can be implied. If the loser's score is 5 or less, the winner's score is ALWAYS 7. If the loser's score is 6 or more, the winner's score is 2 more than the loser's. — Dale Arnett (talk) 17:41, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well... the source which uses the format 7-6(7/5) rather than 7-6(5) is a rather credible one... the IOC website...--Nitsansh (talk) 03:10, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Pumas rugby club logo 2006.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.
