Re:Tables

I know. I'll get to it. I hate redirects myself, I'll fix them up when I get a chance later today. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 16:02, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Beat me to it. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 02:49, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Edit conflict. When I went through them, I must have missed a few links that you didn't miss. So when I saved my edit later, it reverted those. Sorry. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 02:53, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

England and Wales

England and Wales are individual countries that comprise the United Kingdom. If you don't believe me read the wikipedia article, its says it in the first sentence.71.246.99.196 (talk) 00:43, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:Question

Seems like an ok user to me. But the title templates will get out of hand. Not too sure how to approach this. Might want to bring it up at WT:PW. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 01:18, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Templates

I've been making them simply for easy navigation, I wont be making any more Championship templates as I was just making templates for major titles. The Jay Experience 06:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

So do you plan on leaving it 8 months (maybe more) off date? It isn't a very good article being so out of date-- Falegas (talk) 18:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Versus

It actually gives three options, but not for sports. It states "v (legal), vs. or vs (sports)" All of the articles I moved are sports articles, so they use "vs". If they has been articles about legal cases, I would have used "v".--2008Olympianchitchat

Corrected the user on his talk page. TJ Spyke 05:52, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I see how one could read it that way, but I read it as v for legal, vs. without any designator, and vs for sports. Personally, I prefer vs. as well, but I was trying to follow the guideline. If you are going to move this one, then please move all the other fight nights as well, they all have been moved in the same manner. I don't see how WP:ENGVAR has anything to do with it, however. And you can't just cut and paste to move pages. If you want them moved back, you need to actually move them or list the pages at WP:RM.--2008Olympianchitchat 14:22, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Sonic 3

Hi.

Can you chip in on the Sonic 3 Talkpage - it took a long time to gain consensus on the box art, and it normally degenerates into an edit war (See talk page) - I think we can justify having both boxarts in the article, without violating WP:FP. Would value your input, preferably before it all kicks off again for the umpteenth time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.137.159.61 (talk) 17:37, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

WM25

I don't listen to it, although I believe they also post on YouTube as well. If you want to source it Template:Cite podcast seems to be the template to use. -- Oakster  Talk  07:07, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Which is easier to use?

Regarding your revert[1]. sure, the old template converts all the mumbly junk required by {{death date and age}} into a real date. The question is, why needlessly complicate dates with all this mumbly number junk? Which is more readable:

{{Death-date and age|February 24, 1993|April 12, 1941}}

or

{{Death date and age|1993|2|24|1941|4|12|mf=y}}

The new template does all the stuff old template does, and actually, quite a bit more. Two years ago wikipedia didn't have functions that could handle dates except in that numeric form. There is currently no need for it. Certainly folks can use the old one if they want, but it is arcane. -J JMesserly (talk) 23:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Who is gonna read it though? Someone just looking at the page will see the same result, and since it is their death date it won't be changing. The old one does the exact same job but takes up less space. Using the template also lets those who use British formatting to have it displayed DD/MM/YYYY (which is another benefit of doing it that way). TJ Spyke 23:21, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
The person that first puts it in. The people that update it because someone messed up on the date, and they mess up and change the birth date day not the death date day because they figured death comes second not first. It's unnecessary baloney. Regarding euro style,
{{Death-date and age|24 February 1993|12 April 12 1941}} works just fine for me.
It sounds to me like you are used to the old way, and that's fine- you can use the old template all you want. The docs just affect what new people do, and this makes it easier. Although it isn't relevant for wrestlers, the new format also handles other problems like specifying time like for military events supporting timezones, and also handles old form dates like under Julian calendars. The old template doesn't do any of that. Like I said, unless you start doing write ups on wrestlers from the 17th century stuff like that doesn't matter. But why should folks be using one date template for those, and something different for wrestlers. More detail on some of the arcane nonsense of the old template is discussed here, and the overwhelming concensus among contributors was that the old template bites. You are welcome to your POV though. I just don't get why we need to make it any more difficult for new folks than it has to be. Face it, this syntax is totally unnecessary and rude:
{{Death date and age|1993|2|24|1941|4|12|mf=y}}
-J JMesserly (talk) 00:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
I don't know why the death date is listed first (common sense dictates you would put birth date first). Other than that, I think the older template is just as easy to use. I honestly don't care if others use it or not, I will still use it for that reason. The end result is the same for readers, so I don't care. People don't even need to use templates if they don't want, they could manually enter the info. TJ Spyke 01:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

←Sure. It's trivial when you know it. But what could be easier for a newbie than this:

{{Birth-date and age|12 April 12 1941}}

Surely not:

{{Birth date and age|1941|4|12|df=y}}

df? wtf? If you don't care, I'll set the docs back to point users to the easier plain text date templates.-J JMesserly (talk) 02:23, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Answer

Preference, I suppose. I was taught good capitalisation, it was practically beaten into me when I was in primary school, and so when it's a link like [[professional wrestling match types|professional wrestling matches]] I change it to [[Professional wrestling match types|professional wrestling matches]] 'cause a) it doesn't show up in the main text and look stupid, so I feel I can, and b) purely personal preference. One of my many idiosyncrasies I guess. ♥NiciVampireHeart20:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, it's no problem to answer. :) I hope I didn't come across as rude. ♥NiciVampireHeart20:33, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Kinesio Tapes

Fair enough, but I blocked him for the username, so it's irrelevant whether he created it or not. Daniel Case (talk) 04:00, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Why shouldn't future matches be added?

I read what you posted on the HBK page when you reverted back the changes which I did (adding details for the Wrestlemania match). They had added it to the Undertaker's page and I think they do it very commonly, especially when the announcements are made officially for such a big event as Wrestlemania. The WrestleMania XXV page also contains it, so I am not sure why it cannot be mentioned on the wrestlers' pages. I'm not denying that there is a policy, but I'm just saying that the policy doesn't make sense to me because if its stated in one page of Wikipedia already, then why can't it be stated on another?

DX and Ultimate x

The Ultimate X match was the first match announced. Before the first Impact after Against All Odds the promos were introduced announcing that the Ultimate X match would return at Destination X. Before any storylines were developed for Destination X, the Ultimate X match was announced.--WillC 22:56, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Well I believe the In Demand link also states it and it came out before AAO. But I don't care, just trying to make sure everything is correct and is following guidelines.--WillC 23:16, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

The reason I keep going back is because having all the matches in the table is OR for the order. You are saying that is the order the matches are in, as before for all the other events. We keep the matches outside the table until they take place so we don't have to involve the number. Plus you keep changing the link to the woman's tag match.--WillC 01:10, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Combined reigns

Well that's a point. In Shane Douglas IC case, no I would't consider him holding it for a day. And that's not what I'm disputing, anyway. The thing is Austin, for example, had a 140 days reign plus a 15 min reign. How do we differentiate both reigns on the combine table? Cause the combined tables aren't entirely exact. Sure Austin's second reign didn't last a day but his first didnt accurately last 140 days either if we counted the combined minutes (which is impossible). Who's to say Austin's first reign lasted 139 and x hours or 140 and x minutes? It creates a double standard. The thing is in Douglas case, were his reign to be represented in a combined table it would be easy to represent it as <1, but in cases like Austin those 15 min in which he held the title must be accounted in addition to the estimated 140 days he held the title. At least that's my view on it. Secretaria 03:16, 16 March 2009 (UTC).

I agree. It's a tricky subject cause less than a day reigns will either be represented by 1 day or 0 days and neither is entirely accurate so I guess it will all depend on the point of view of a majority. Anyway, it's a long debate and it's really late on my part to continue this now so I'm leaving. Do what you gotta do. Secretaria 03:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC).
