Tjanag should understand that in matters to do with usage he should defer to professional editors of many years' standing like me. The term and professional title is "athletic director," not "athletics director." No reader of American English would be confused by the former and take it to mean director with athletic ability. The Wikipedia article title is "Athletic director" and the persons at the constituent schools of the ESA call themselves "athletic director," including the "athletic director" at Choate whose appellation I quote. "Athletic director" is used journalistically far more often: Google News, February 24, "athletic director" 8,760 hits, "athletics director" 1,096 hits. "Athletic director" is used everywhere else far more often: Google search, February 24, "athletic director" 2,560,000 hits, "athletics director" 263,000 hits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Micheledene ( talk • contribs) 04:37, 24 February 2010
I would agree with Micheldene that the common term in the United States is "athletic director" at both the high school and collegiate level. But I'm offended by Micheldene's suggestion that any Wikipedia editors should defer to "professional editors of many years' standing like me." Arguments on Wikipedia are settled with consensus, not with kow-towing to some other editor's supposed credentials. (Essjay, anyone?) On another note, WP:PEACOCK is an established guideline, Micheldene. Stating "foo is a leading school" is not as powerful as describing why it is a leading school.
