[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Motörhead (album), makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 20:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
If there's two genres, it's BRs.
RandySavageFTW (talk) 21:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- I have no idea what you are talking about? Read WP:ALBUM. Genres are separated by commas and only the first word of the first genre listed is capitalized. The rest are lower case. It makes no difference if there are 2, 3, 4 or more. Fields in all album articles are separated by commas. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will assist you. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 21:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I see that they got to you again. Yes, for albums there is a rule for comma breaks (although if you look at the vast majority of metal albums on wikipedia, they use line breaks) but as for infoboxes in band articles, there's no such rule. you already know I prefer line breaks, but I just wish people would stop changing them. It's all so inane. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 21:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm not changing them..
RandySavageFTW (talk) 22:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I removed Sunny from the list due to this "They are said to be "good on the mic." Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Steve Austin, Dusty Rhodes, The Rock, Jim Cornette, Sunny" (bolding done by me for emphasis), and "and some not (eg. Hogan, Sunny)". Is it just me or is Sunny's name there twice? Is this not both redundant and contradictory? I shall revert your undoing of my original edit, but please be more careful in future. Thanks, ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 23:30, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Sunny, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Mick Foley, Jesse Ventura, Jake Roberts, Chris Jericho, Terry Funk, Harley Race, Randy Savage, and Roddy Piper's careers were made on their ability to cut good promos, some in conjunction with their excellent ring-work (eg. Jericho, Michaels, Flair), and some not (eg. Hogan, Sunny).
It says Sunny and Hogan were good on the mic, contrary to their ring work, which was bad. It doesn't say Sunny is good on the mic and bad on the mic.
RandySavageFTW (talk) 00:52, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- My bad. I read it wrong. It sounded strange to me, so I removed Sunny. please free to readd her. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Your recent edits of Black Sabbath to List of best-selling music artists
[edit]First look at the sales figure of 100 million records here which is the number that has been claimed by the source that you seem to be quite fond of and then take a look at the sales figure of 50 million records (under their bio-section)here which is the number stated on their official website. Which one do you think is closer to the actual sales figure especially when they state another 50 million as a sales figure for the period of Ozzy Ozbourne's solo career? Don't you think that the 100 million figure on www.mybrum.co.uk is the combined number for both Black Sabbath and the solo career? --Harout72 (talk) 01:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Your source says as of 1979, Sabbath has sold 50 million.
Don't you think that the 100 million figure on www.mybrum.co.uk is the combined number for both Black Sabbath and the solo career?
No..
RandySavageFTW (talk) 09:41, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Here, I will help you to read what needs to be read in the source to verify sales figures. Here is a copied and pasted lines from Black Sabbath/Ozzy Ozbourne's official web site [1]:
- Ozzy releases his first record with Black Sabbath in 1970 (released Friday, February 13th). The self-titled record goes platinum that same year in the U.K. and U.S.
- Ozzy releases 10 records with Black Sabbath.
- Black Sabbath has sold over 50 million records (to date) worldwide.
- Black Sabbath embarks on several world tours and performs to legions of fans around the globe.
- Black Sabbath performs at the first California Jam in June 1974 to over 250,000 fans.
- Ozzy leaves Black Sabbath and goes solo in 1979.
- By the way, my source as you like to refer it to, does not say as of 1979, Black Sabbath has sold 50 million but rather this is what it says:
- Black Sabbath has sold over 50 million records (to date) worldwide.
Hope this helped. Regards.--Harout72 (talk) 01:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
There's no proof that it meant today. It probally meant '79.

About the edit war on the Arise article
[edit]Greetings...
A) On Marth 17th 2008, at 18:17, I changed the "Genre" tag on the music box the preferred form. I wrote on the edit summary: Featured articles on Wikipedia such as the NIN or the Metallica page list the music genres like this. If anyone disagrees, provide a good rationale before changing.
B) On May 4rth, 2008, at 15:41, you changed the "Genre" tag, without providing any explanation for that. I did another edit at 22:09, and wrote on the edit summary: Some featured thrash articles on Wikipedia such as Metallica and Slayer have the "Genre" tag presented this way. If anyone disagrees about this, please provide rationale. Let me emphasize this:
B.1) These are featured articles - or, the best articles produced on Wikipedia. Interestingly, these "best of Wikipedia" articles have the "Genre" tag formatting the way I proposed them for Sepultura.
B.2) Sepultura is (mainly) a thrash metal band, so I reasoned that their article should have some similarities with other major thrash bands (Anthrax, Megadeth), i.e. the "Genre" tag.
B.3) So, if you wished to change the "Genre" tag again, at least you could have written something along to justify it.
C) At 22:35 you undid my edit, and again provided no explanation. So I also undid your edit, and wrote on the summary: Didn't provide rationale before changing. Vandalism? You undid my edit again and wrote: Don't know what you['re talking about]. (You wrote the same thing of your edits on the Chaos A.D. article.)
Yes, you knows what I'm talking about. A quick visit to this talk page and anyone can notice that it's not the first time you have engaged on a edit war over the issue at hand. That's why I wrote on the edit summary, "Yes you do. Visit your own talkpage, under "Please stop" section".
D) And yet again he undid my revision, without further explanation. And, again, I undid his revision, and added to the summary, "Again?"
E) Another "undid" from your part, and wrote: "rv vandalism?" Cute. So I'm the vandal?
I hope we can settle this nicely...
Musicaindustrial (talk) 12:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes you do. Visit your own talkpage, under "Please stop" section
Navlos can say what he wants. It doesn't mean it's true. Also, Navlos already said albums have commas..
Sepultura is (mainly) a thrash metal band, so I reasoned that their article should have some similarities with other major thrash bands (Anthrax, Megadeth), i.e. the "Genre" tag
Sepultura's article? I didn't even edit that.
At 22:35 you undid my edit, and again provided no explanation. So I also undid your edit, and wrote on the summary: Didn't provide rationale before changing. Vandalism?
No explanation? I posted WP:ALBUM#Genre twice.
Another "undid" from your part, and wrote: "rv vandalism?" Cute. So I'm the vandal?
Well, you called me one when you're the one ignoring the rules. So, yeah.

Megadeth album capitalization
[edit]I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but please don't change the capitalization for album names as you did for Peace Sells… but Who's Buying?. The conjunction 'but' is never capitalized when it's not the first or last word as per WP:CAPS. There also isn't a rule dictating that 'but' should be capitalized after ellipses.
Thank you for your understanding, Xnux the Echidna 00:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
RandySavageFTW (talk) 00:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- That needs to be changed too, thanks for showing me that. Xnux the Echidna 00:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- In response, the 'and' & 'the' in "Holy Wars… the Punishment Due" and Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good! aren't capitalized either. Read WP:MUSTARD; the only times articles or conjunctions are capitalized is if they are the first or last word of a title or if they are used accordingly in parentheses (à la "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"). Xnux the Echidna 01:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Is Chaos A.D. Death Metal?
[edit]Greetings...
I don't wish start another edit war with you. So, carefully read through my arguments and give me some feedback later.
You claim that Chaos A.D. is a death metal, based on AMG review of the album [2]. The Wikipedia staff supposedly consider the All Music Guide to be a reliable source. Fair enough. But does that does mean it's also reliable regarding Sepultura's career? I'll give you three quick examples of why might reconsider Allmusic exactness.
- a) From their Sepultura biography: "Their drive and determination (they sang in English from day one) more than made up for their geographic isolation and inexperience..."
Wrong. They changed their lyrics to english a few months prior to recording Bestial Devastation. If you can check out the BD article, you'll see I've sourced this particular bit of information. It's on the Official Sepultura biography [3], pages 29 & 30.
- b) From their Arise review [4]: "The band toured nonstop in support of the album for most of the following two years, and was therefore pressured by both time constraints and enormous expectations when the bandmembers finally entered Tampa's Morrisound Studios with producer Scott Burns to record 1991's Arise."
Wrong again. The Beneath the Remains tour went on for about 1 year (Barcinski & Gomes, page 83).
- c) Allmusic states that Chaos A.D. is death metal.
That's highly controversial. The Don Kaye liner notes of Arise, for example, stated that Sepultura's fourth LP is the pinnacle of their death/thrash phase. Now, if Chaos A.D. sold way more than Arise, why is it not considered the pinnacle of their death/thrash instead? Maybe because they changed their style... And, by the way, the music press at the time certainly held that as true. They stated that Chaos A.D. helped Sepultura transcend the death/thrash style (Barcinski & Gomes, page 131).
Now, let's talk about subjetive listening experiences. Let's compare Chaos A.D. with some landmark Death Metal releases that were roughly contemporary it. Would you honestly say that Chaos A.D. neatly fits alongside Morbid Angel's Covenant? Deicide's Legion? Obituary's The End Complete? Cannibal Corpse's The Bleeding? Or is really closer to Pantera's Far Beyond Driven, Biohazard's State of the World Address or Machine Head's Burn My Eyes?
Musicaindustrial (talk) 16:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
OK, fine..we'll leave it like it is. I don't even consider it death metal, just noticed they did.
RandySavageFTW (talk) 19:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- The Arise (album) article is now listed as a good article. Thought you should know. Musicaindustrial (talk) 11:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Judgment Day (2008). 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 a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. SRX 15:43, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
I did. No one replied, though. You also reverted twice.

Eddy Guerrero
[edit]I'm sorry but maybe you need to read the details of what you're deleting from the Eddie GUerrero article? I have no problems with only his highest "PWI 500" ranking, but that has nothing to do with his and Art Barr's ranking of the "top 100 tag teams of the PWI Era" at all, can we please stop this silly edits where you say "only the top ranking" and i say "it's not a PWI 500 Ranking", you're right (but it's not applicable here) and I'm right (and it is applicable). I got no problems with removing his 2003 ranking or whatever, but the tag rank is something else. MPJ-DK (talk) 19:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Once again, consensus is to add the highest award. That's not Eddie's highest. It doesn't matter if it's a different award.
RandySavageFTW (talk) 20:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Reasoning for reverting?
[edit]Hi. I noticed you reverted a recent edit I made to the Benoit article. Fair enough, but when the edit isn't vandalism, it's polite to at least leave a note letting the other person know why you feel as you do. That avoids provoking a possible edit war and also avoids giving the impression that you feel a sense of ownership of the article. Thanks. --James26 (talk) 06:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Well, I never see any other victories listed with how they won. I don't think it's that notable.

Allmusic
[edit]Make sure not to change All Music Guide to Jazz to "Allmusic to Jazz" or All Music Guide to the Blues to Allmusic to the Blues. Your change to Bitches Brew made the change to All Music Guide to Jazz. There is also a bot set up to make the Allmusic changes: User:J Milburn Bot. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 03:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Bret Hart Revert?
[edit]I added the ring name Buddy "The Heartthrob" to Bret Hart's wikipedia page today and you reverted it without contacting me or listing a reason why. His book clearly states that he went by that nickname, unwillingly, for a short time. If you disagree, please start a discussion on the article talk page rather than deleting. Sarcastrophe (talk) 21:16, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Copy and paste
[edit]Just so you know, copy and past moves like you did with Wrestle War are against the rules of Wikipedia and will be undone. The only reason no one noticed until now is that very few people monitor the WCW/NWA PPV's other than myself and I haven't been online in awhile. TJ Spyke 16:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- Click the move tab on top of pages for more info on moving pages (including if something is already at the location). The mainb reason I moved it is because when I originally moved it (back in 2006) I searched and found that the PPV was almost always referred to as "Wrestle War" instead of "WrestleWar". Even if I didn't find that, copy and paste moves are always reverted regardless of whether that is the right page name or not since pages have to be moved properly (to preserve the edit history). TJ Spyke 16:56, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Matt Drake from Evile's comments
[edit]This doesn't violate Wikipedia in any sense, and adheres to rules. Reign in Blood uses the opinions of groups as regards the album, and that's an FA. It has been reinserted, and I have every intention of reverting whomever keeps taking it out of the articles I have inserted it in. At the end of the day, it is neutral and sourced. That's irrelevant of how many straw polls you intentionally start. LuciferMorgan (talk) 23:18, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
- In the "Legacy" section of Reign in Blood, there is the following; "Rapper Necro was heavily influenced by the album, and has remarked that it takes him back to the 80s, "when shit was pure."[24] Ektomorf vocalist Zoltán Farkas describes the album as one of his primary influences.[25] Paul Mazurkiewicz of Cannibal Corpse stated Lombardo's performance on the album helped him play faster throughout his career.[26]" Even in an FA I wrote, namely South of Heaven, it says the following in the "Critical reception" section; "Grave's Ola Lindgren and Bolt Thrower's Karl Willetts both rate South of Heaven as amongst the top five albums of all time,[14][15] while Max Kolesne of Brazilian death metal group Krisiun remembers hearing the song "Silent Scream" for the first time: "It just blew me away. It was like fast double-bass, fast kicks during the whole song. That was very inspiring for me."[16]". I'd just like to say that removing content is actually vandalism, and you've done it several times. None of your reasons for removing have any basis in Wikipedia policy, and is merely down to the fact you dislike the band. Frankly, I'm fed up of having to waste my time explaining such things to editors like you who try to police major metal related articles by removing any content you disagree with.

Why would you make edition (WWE Saturday Night's Main Event) linked when SNME is already linked? Why wouldn't you just make SNME the link you made for edition that way it could be updated too. SNME is already link from the JBL beer drinking contest as well. Happy Editing.

Judgment Day
[edit]You appear to be in an edit war on WWE Judgement Day. If you continue to revert edits then you could be blocked for violating the 3-revert rule.

Shayne Bower Article
[edit]Please don't move the page to Biff Wellington or Bif Wellington, or any other spelling. It was fine as Shayne Bower. I will revert it back to Shayne Bower. Mr. C.C. (talk) 08:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- I understand what you are saying, but you don't see Rhino and Sabu articles as their stage names and they are more notable than Shayne Bower. Please give a better reason than "he's not known as Shayne Bower... at all." Please leave it as Shayne Bower. Nobody was bothered by the fact that the article was title "Shayne Bower." So leave it as Shanyne Bower. Mr. C.C. (talk) 19:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- I understand the point you are trying to make, but if it hasn't been moved to Biff or Bif Wellington till now then obviously there was no problem with the naming convention of the article. Mr. C.C. (talk) 06:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- We need to have more discussion on it. Put it up for discussion at WP:PW. Until that happens don't move it. Mr. C.C. (talk) 20:03, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Metallica revision
[edit]I noticed you reverted my change of 'is' to 'are' on the Metallica article per WP:ENGVAR. I'm not quite sure I agree with your logic on this one, it's not a difference of national variety. Instead, 'is' refers to a singular person ("David is the best person in the world ever") and 'are' is used when referring to a group of individuals ("Metallica are the best band in the world").

Inappropriate edit summary
[edit] Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article Gene Snitsky has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. There is no need to swear or call other people a "Fuckin' jobber", just because there's a minor mistake in the article. I think you seriously need to read and adhere to WP:CIVIL. Thanks, ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 18:36, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- Please note that this is an ongoing problem. See [5], [6], and [7]. Similar edit summaries in the future will lead to notification of administrators. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:53, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Pretty sure I wasn't cursing at anybody. Wikipedia isn't censored. "Fuckin' jobber" was directed at Snitsky. He's shit. And the SNME thing is just ridiculous. And people were fucking up the names on Oleg Prudius (WHO?)'s article. RandySavageFTW (talk) 16:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

- Yes, but in all of the cases I've seen, the articles in question still had the same, or at least, very similiar names. It still seems like an unnesseary step to me. Stephen Day (talk) 20:55, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Your reversal of my closure
[edit]The move discussion was more than five days old, which makes it eligible for closure according to the WP:Requested moves. I closed it according to that process.

Please revert yourself.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 17:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Kollision in Korea
[edit]This is a unique situation that we haven't had with other PPVs. While the event happened in 1995, it didn't air until 1996.

Here is a source that it aired in 1996: http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/japanppv.html

Starlight
[edit]Hi there Randy, The fact that the other band's "Starlight" doesnt "even" have an article doesnt mean anything. Anyone (including myself) could create it this morning. What matters is that there are two homonymous and both enjoyed moderate success (the one without an article enjoyed even more success than Muse's, even though this one is more recent and with a much bigger fan base).
In any case, I dont see the problem in renaming it to Starlight (Muse song) anyway, nor I see the reasons for this messages exchange other than, maybe, too much spare time. What's the problem? it is more precise, even if there was no other song wih the same name, so, why should it be just Starlight (song)? MOUNTOLIVE fedeli alla linea 08:46, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Please stop your unconstructive edits. The article is currently titled after the name of the show. There is absolutely no reason to move it. You have not provided a reason to move the article away from its actual name. GaryColemanFan (talk) 00:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit]When this was discussed in December, 3 people agreed with me about not listing them while 1 person agreed with you about listing them. 4-2 is consensus to me. If you want to try again you can, but the current consensus is to not include them. As for spaces, I can't speak for others but the extra spaces doesn't make it any easier or harder to edit to me. TJ Spyke 02:42, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- I am not totally against Meltzer, I just don't get why some people have hard-ons for anything he says. His ratings don't mean anything and don't deserve special mention. Are you so stubborn that you refuse to accept the compromise? Mention it in the body of the article, but not the Championships and Accomplishments (and 1 persons rating is not a championship or an accomplishment). Not sure where your 5-5 number came from since that is not from the most recent discussion, but either way it wouldn't matter since the IP added it for no reason. TJ Spyke 21:01, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- What do you have against that compromise? It keeps the rating in the article but keeps it out of a section it doesn't belong in. You adding the rating back in for no reason is the same as me removing it, so you can't say you are right. TJ Spyke 21:25, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- You can't use that as the only excuse as he would be a special case. For him, maybe include in the body of the article that he has had 24 matches receive 5 stars (for anybody that actually cares about that) and a link to Meltzer's article and the section on 5 stars. TJ Spyke 21:34, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, I guess we could do it on a case by case basis. TJ Spyke 21:53, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- I have no problem with that. I generally only remove them when I am making another edit to the article anyways. I don't go around looking for stuff to remove. If I am editing Flair's article for some reason, I will do that too (unless someone else does it first), same with others. TJ Spyke 21:58, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

2008–09 WHL season
[edit]Thank you for showing interest in improving the 2008–09 WHL season article. The first correction of your most recent edit was unfortunetly innacurate. For the sake of consistency with other articles on Wikipedia, I chose to revert your edit involving the opening statement. The reason being, is that linking within the 2008–09 WHL season should be avoided. It is bold for the purpose of identifying the article's title, and having one or more of the words linked, can be misleading. Also, the edits you made regarding the 2008 Bantam Draft and WHL Playoffs section titles, is also innacurate, because the Western Hockey League officially named them with the beginning words to be capitalized.[8][9] — Hucz (talk · contribs) 08:03, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- Following up on your response, take a look at WP:BOLDTITLE. The last example states, "Use as few links as possible before and in the bolded title. Thereafter, words used in a title may be linked to provide more detail..." — Hucz (talk · contribs) 11:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Career statistics links in ice hockey bio articles
[edit]Hey. I noticed that you've begun linking "Regular season" and "Playoffs" as part of your career statistics edits in ice hockey bio articles. All the other links are perfect, but I see a problem with these two in particular. You've been linking them to NHL specific articles. This is pretty iffy because most players have stats from leagues other than the NHL. I think it would be best if you linked these to Regular season and Playoff rather than NHL regular season and NHL playoffs. It gets rid of the glarring generalization that the stats are only from the NHL. Remember, other leagues have different structures for their regular seasons and playoffs, so it would be wrong to imply that what is currently being implied. Let me know what you think. – Nurmsook! talk... 00:23, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- Excellent. Yeah it was more of a precautionary thing for future edits. I wouldn't be all that worried about changing the ones that you already did. Thanks! – Nurmsook! talk... 04:15, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Plus-Minus Award
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary for your edits. Thank you.
- The article should not have a forward slash per WP:NAME; this can cause technical problems (although mainspace subpages are disabled atm, that can change in the future), and also create an impression that that "Minus Award" is a subarticle of "NHL Plus". A dash in these case is recommended. Maxim(talk) 16:49, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
W-B/S
[edit]WP:NAME says to not use slashes when it may imply a subordinate article ie Transport/Azerbaijan. W-B/S Penguins is very obviously not a subarticle of Wilkes-Barre. Grsz11 01:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Exactly, which is why / is not a big deal, especially when it's the proper name. There is no precedent or consensus that it needs or should be changed. Grsz11 02:01, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Am I Evil to a different title - however your request is either incomplete or has been contested for being controversial, and has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete will be removed after five days.
Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:
- Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
- Added a place for discussion at the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved. This can easily be accomplished by adding {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the page, which will automatically create a discussion section there.
- Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.
If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR (talk) 21:09, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Piping links
[edit]My bad. I wasn't paying attention to the article at hand. Speaking of which, which article did I do it to? PCE (Talk)
- Oh, thanks for the clarification. I thought it didn't matter because there are dozens of other wrestling articles that have the same double piping format and in addition, there are several more articles (including Funk's) that don't use the slash for the Jim Crockett Promotions and WCW company titles.

2008-09 Boston Bruins Season
[edit]Is there a reason for your recent edit of the 2008-09 Boston Bruins Season? A template was created specifically to display the infobox on the page in team colours.

- I missed your point about seasons not connecting. Maybe it was in a page I don't watch. I have to do some work on templates before I can propose anything (testing out some ideas) and no-one really seems to have an interest right now, so I don't know if it is worth the effort.

I just like doing different types of hockey research.... especially for amateur hockey. Thanks for disambig-ing. DMighton (talk) 18:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Capreol
[edit]I'm not going to undo your page move, because we previously identified Capreol as a candidate for the undisambiguated title because of its uniqueness as a name — but just so you know for future reference, the usual procedure as spelled out at WP:CANSTYLE is for a place to be nominated for a page move first, so that we have a record of the discussion and research that went into ensuring that the name really was unique. The procedure also allows for leaving it alone if a person who isn't familiar with it moves an article without discussion first, so I'm just letting you know for next time. (Also, if you're planning to tackle any of the other Sudbury community articles, Walden is out but the rest of them are viable move candidates.) Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 17:40, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Changing redirects.
[edit]I've noticed over the last while that you have been changing a number of redirects such as here. While its is cool and prefered that the visible version of the link have the endash. It actually violates WP:NOTBROKEN if all you are doing is changing the redirect which is not visable as you did in the above edit. -Djsasso (talk) 18:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Are you also saying that I should be putting in links? The sortable over-rides that I think. I understand your points about capitalization and = now. Alaney2k (talk) 22:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Cheers LarRan (talk) 20:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Palmarolle
[edit]You may not understand why, but there's an actual reason behind the process for page moves. We need to have documented proof on the talk page that the necessary research has actually been done to ensure that the name really is unique — it's not enough to just do a Google search and then immediately move the page yourself, because we need documented evidence that the proper procedure was followed.
I'm not making up rules just to mess with your head — there's an actual process which was determined by a consensus of users to answer concerns and issues that have actually been raised in past discussions. You weren't here for some of the past fireworks around page moves, so you may not be familiar with some of the background — but please understand that there are very good reasons why we follow the process that we do, and don't just allow people to move pages arbitrarily. We need to be able to point to an actual documented record of the consensus that established the validity of a page move if somebody challenges it in the future — any user can move it back if we can't prove that there was an actual discussion to establish a consensus for the page move.
And the reason your listing kept disappearing from WP:RM is because that page is generated automatically by a bot looking for pages with the {{move}} template on them — entries don't get added to it manually. And also, by the way, the Canadian naming process doesn't require listing at RM at all — except in potentially controversial circumstances it only requires listing at WP:CWNB, because in most cases we don't need input from anybody outside the Canadian contingent. Bearcat (talk) 23:20, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Team captains
[edit]While I can see why you want to add the team captains list back into the main articles, they were removed from both New Jersey Devils and Calgary Flames as part of their Featured article candidacy as the overabundance of lists in the articles were viewed as a negative. This was moved, at one point, to an article on "notable people" associated with the team and finally to the players article where it can be given a bit more prominence - i.e.: the Flames players article highlights all captains, and has a paragraph of prose regarding the team captain history. In my view, there is greater reason to keep the list on a child article than on the main. Regards, Resolute 22:08, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Captains are noted and highlighted in the list itself. And personally, I don't find it extremely important. Not near the same as the current roster or the franchise leaders. Resolute 22:14, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Picky they are, but I agree with them in this case. Updating the Flames players list is something on my todo list, and making the captains stand out better is part of that. Resolute 22:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Someone re-added it to the Devils article at some point, I guess. Truth is, almost every NHL team article requires a lot of work. We don't really have a great standard at this point, just "do what we've done". Resolute 22:27, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Picky they are, but I agree with them in this case. Updating the Flames players list is something on my todo list, and making the captains stand out better is part of that. Resolute 22:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
With all due respect, the process is WP:BRD, bold, revert discuss. You boldly added it, I reverted, your next step is to seek consensus. Not to continually revert me to get your own way. I'm not going to edit war with you right now, but frankly, if you can't build a consensus for the inclusion, I will re-remove the section at a later date. Resolute 21:43, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- I prefer the captains being listed on all 30 NHL team articles (and the former NHL team articles). In fact, I prefer the 30 NHL team articles being as consistant as possible. GoodDay (talk) 20:32, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Danny Grant
[edit]It was done right in the first place, thanks. If you have any information that "Daniel Grant" is the most recognized English language usage for the hockey player instead of "Danny Grant," feel free to present it. This was done in defiance of WP:NAME and "Daniel" should never have been used. Ravenswing 16:54, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Former teams?
[edit]Hi RandySavageFTW, since you do alot of editing to the hockey articles, I figured you would probably know more about this than some others. I just reverted a couple of edits [16], [17] where the editor is adding all of a players OHL and Junior B. Hockey teams to the infobox in the former teams slot. Since I can't find other articles that do this, was I right in thinking that the former teams slot is supposed to be for pro teams not OHL? If I'm wrong, I'd like to know so that I can fix the edits before I end up getting myself in trouble here for reverting those edits. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
