Congrats on the GA for Ken Hall... never thought it was possible! Top work! The-Pope ( talk) 16:19, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bradley munn is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bradley munn until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — Fly by Night ( talk) 02:28, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. I know it sounds a bit rude, but really, the quality of the discussion from that side is appalling. I'm trying to simply shock some people into thinking a little outside their very narrow boxes. I'll hope that it's achieved something by now, and ease back a bit.

Whilst I appreciate what you're doing, isn't it important that a navigation tempalate have links to every page it is used on? Maybe that's an old fashioned idea of mine, but I rather think that it would be more helpful to have the links to the club pages, since the templates are of course on those pages themselves. I really don't think this falls under overlinking. Cheers, .... 16:44, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for the tweaks at User:Richwales/Drafts/George E. Crothers. As it turns out, I was working on the page while you did your changes. I believe I managed to resolve the edit conflict, incorporating your changes as well as mine, but if you could take another look at the current draft and make sure I didn't miss anything, I'd be grateful.
I would also welcome any comments you might have on the question of whether the sources I'm currently using are sufficient (in quality and quantity) to establish Crothers' notability. I'd like to make this article as AfD-proof as I can before moving it into the main space. Thanks. Richwales ( talk · contribs) 07:16, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Jenks24, you are correct, certainly to the letter, and I probably should make sure that I say "importance" whenever I say "notability" in such discussions. In my defense: I place the threshold for notability fairly low (certainly in A7 tagging, where I prefer to err on the side of caution), so for me, practically speaking, notability and importance are the same thing. In this case, of the 13-yr old bike mechanic, I still don't see a credible claim to importance, let alone notability. Now, I will grant you immediately that admins may differ here--and that's why a. it's a good thing that we have a lot of admins and b. it's important that we explain these things, as I urged Robert to do with the other two tags, which in my opinion were incorrect.

I have reverted your edit on Bernard Tomic to Yugoslavia. I realise you and User:Absconded Northerner have your heads twisted around what is says in "sources" but there is more to the situation than that. Sources, even reliable ones, have also been known to provide incorrect information and we never have to look far to find them. To clear the issue, several years before 1992, Croatia was in Yugloslavia, it delcared independence on 25 June 1991 and joined the UN in early 1992. Although Croatia had existed as an entity even within Yugoslavia, the article's reference to both Germany and Australia mean that sovereign nations were the topic of the section. In this case, this would be Yugoslavia as the code of practice is to observe historical accuracy. Please also note that Croatia is mostly about the independent country after 1991 and that separate articles exist for each period, and for the pre-1991 period we have Socialist Republic of Croatia and it would have been this that his parents left. One alternative on the article would be to state (left Croatia, then part of Yugoslavia) or something to that effect. But regarding the plain source itself just saying "Croatia", this is redolent of those that may say a person was born in Veles, Republic of Macedonia in 1980 when the city was then known as Titov Veles and was within the Socialist Republic of Macedonia in SFR Yugoslavia. The source can reflect the modern status but then its publisher is not tasked with providing a historical analysis. On here, we aim for everything to be as accurate as possible. I admit the Andrea Petkovic talk is a true dispute, but this is something that carries far less ambiguity. Thanks. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 15:57, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
I realize that category talk pages are not the usual place for discussions, but I think this is the best place for this discussion. It covers all of the townships in Pennsylvania. There has been much discussion lately about how township names in Pennsylvania should be titled. Some go for X Township, Pennsylvania. Others want X Township, Y County, Pennsylvania. Of course there are many Washington Townships in Pennsylvania so they and others like it will need to include the county name in the title. The townships in question are the unique ones like Horton Township and Plunketts Creek Township. I think it is best to limit this discussion to Pennsylvania. If other wikiprojects want to do it differently that is fine. The status of townships vary greatly from state to state.
I like the picture you chose to put on your userpage. The red and blue colours are so stark that it seems like the bird was "printed" with two-colour printing process. Cool! ;-) -- Ohconfucius ¡digame! 04:56, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
