Hi Jenks,
I believe that my method is more tidy and organised to have it like:
Player A, Player B, Player C 2
Player D, Player E, Player F
Rather that "Player A 2, Player B 2, Player C 2, Player D, Player E, Player F" mainly because it's less repetitive and more straight forward. Also that I beleieve that injuries and/or report should be left blank unless there is any.
Many Thanks, --McAusten 00:47, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm probably not the person to ask about strict interpretation of the rules, but this was a total mess, no context, no notability, no refs, non-encyclopaedic how-to. I'd tag for deletion because it was pretty irretrievable; if an admin disagrees, which in this case I think is unlikely, they can always change to a prod, so no harm done anyway Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:10, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry for placing the article up for PROD. I didn't know what I was doing then, although I was thinking that there are too many Aussie rules articles that are stubs, and that there is not enough information for an article to achieve Start-class status, let along GA. I did have a look at the Notability guidelines on AFL players, but still remained adamant that the article could never achieve any significant statuses. After what seem to be very convincing points and arguments, from you and user The-Pope, which made my actions look very foolish, I decided to withdraw the PROD. Now I'm a happy chap getting on with things, and, to apologise for my actions, I will expand and format the article, and, if you need any help, I've made myself available should you have any help. May I just ask, out of curiosity, what footy team do you barrack for? Anyway, I won't do that again, unless something clearly violates the policies and guidelines.

Jenks thanks for your opinion on David Price (soccer). Having David Price (Football born 1971) is fine with me but is there a way of deleting revision history? Thanks again —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.80.158.73 ( talk) 13:47, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

On 23 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Leigh Newton, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Juice Newton played Australian rules football for the Melbourne Football Club? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

No, I do not consider asking questions gaming the system. It is fair to ask someone who closed a discussion additional questions. Sometimes these do affect the closers decisions and changes can be made. I will admit that I did miss the bit about the previous move. However, I'm not convinced that the arguments that the current name is incorrect are the strongest. While reading a good part of the article and skimming some, it seems to be mostly about the spacecraft and what the spacecraft is achieving. So the arguments to keep it at this location seem to be the strongest. I think the biggest problem with the move positions is that the Kepler mission is just that a mission that the spacecraft will be trying to achieve. So the spacecraft is the key element here.
Also in looking at the way other satellites are disambiguated, spacecraft seems to be far and away the most common method. And for most of the ones I have looked at over time they also discuss the mission within the articles on the craft. This seems to reflect the guidance from WikiProject Spaceflight which seems to clearly favor spacecraft as the preferred form of disambiguation. Vegaswikian ( talk) 22:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks so much for moving my essay! Could you direct me to the instructions for doing that sort of thing? Mmyers1976 ( talk) 12:36, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Since the AfD has been closed (as speedy keep, making it ripe for DRV if we decide to go that route), I will respond to this here on your talk page instead.
I don't doubt Dr. Blofeld's good faith in creating the article. But in past AfDs when WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST was brought up, it was seen as disruptive to create articles on the other stuff during the AfD, as surely as it would be to nominate all the other articles of a type similar to the one under discussion if you were arguing that there was no way anything of that type could be notable (Years ago I initiated a purge of the many drinking games we had articles on at the time, after someone nominating one based on things Bert Blyleven said while calling Tigers' games on the radio brought them up during the other AfD (as if anyone ever actually plays those humorous drinking games based on TV shows, other than "Hi Bob"). I did not nominate all of them ... Quarters is clearly notable, after all). I nominated each one individually, and we were able to keep a few).
And what if someone had created Wedding cake of Prince William and Kate Middleton during the discussion? Would that not have violated WP:POINT as well? Things like that are why that page was created. Daniel Case ( talk) 00:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello Jenks, I made two edits to support your thinking. [3] [4], the reason being, you are right on the money with the wikipolicies.

I've just
removed the citation templates at 2010 Nobel Peace Prize using
ExpandTemplates. The function has inserted a ton of <span> tags into the article, bloating it by 36kB :-( Would you happen to know what precise function these serve, and whether it would be safe to remove them? If not, I might have to revert the change. --

Hi Jenks,
I believe that my method is more tidy and organised to have it like:
Player A, Player B, Player C 2
Player D, Player E, Player F
Rather that "Player A 2, Player B 2, Player C 2, Player D, Player E, Player F" mainly because it's less repetitive and more straight forward. Also that I beleieve that injuries and/or report should be left blank unless there is any.

I will just have to be more careful in the future (although I don't understand why HaeB 's notice comes -- it was a change from when Signpos was just delivered. I don't want to get rid of Rollback because I use it a fair amount for vandalism. But perhaps I did not understand your suggestion. And most of all, thanks for your concern.

You thought the closing of Corvette was reasonable? And had good rationale? Did I read the same closing as you? What am I missing? -- Born2cycle ( talk) 21:42, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
On 10 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Frédéric Alfred d'Erlanger, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that millionaire banker Baron Frédéric Alfred d'Erlanger was also a noted composer who wrote an opera based on Thomas Hardy's novel, Tess of the d'Urbervilles? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hello Jenks, I made two edits to support your thinking. [3] [4], the reason being, you are right on the money with the wikipolicies. Wikipedia:COMMONNAME#Foreign_names_and_anglicization is very clear and I wonder why is it so difficult for people to understand it. Probably that policy should be rewritten, but as it stands, you are properly following it. Divide et Impera ( talk) 19:30, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

What more do you want then the official website, 2 episode titles, and the official book? Or are you just basing it on Google search results, and somehow that's the best way? CTJF83 21:45, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
TL;DR? No need to start a RM, I will withdraw my objection and hopefully we can move on as if this never happened. Apologies for wasting your time. Jenks24 ( talk) 23:48, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
I've just
removed the citation templates at 2010 Nobel Peace Prize using
ExpandTemplates. The function has inserted a ton of <span> tags into the article, bloating it by 36kB :-( Would you happen to know what precise function these serve, and whether it would be safe to remove them? If not, I might have to revert the change. --
