On enwp and commons...

Hi Doma-w! Hope you don't mind I'm soiling your fresh talk page... Checked the earlier diskussion we had in your archive, and also saw your talk about robots. It's great that you have merged accounts, but the images that has been uploaded here are not available on commons until someone have transfered them. This is no problem for me. Also, if you use the commons:Commons:Upload for your future uploads, the images will become available for all wikipedias at once.

In case you want to transfer all your earlier images to Commons, you do have the Wikipedia:Bot requests page. If you ask there, someone might be kind enough to help. Kind regards from the image thief Mankash (talk) 16:20, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

No problem! I have cleaned my talk page for you! :) I will upload all my future images there and maybe I will also transfer the old ones... Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 16:37, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Belgian names

The other articles Peter van Dievoet, , Philippe van Dievoet, Henri van Dievoet, the father of Germaine van Dievoet, are written with a little v, it is than bether uniformisation of the orthography?

In Belgium the Van is written with a great V but in Holland with a little v. So I think that the two are good: Anthony van Dyck of Van Dyck? What is the better? Nervius Secundus —Preceding undated comment was added at 12:59, 13 October 2008 (UTC).

new exemple:sub verbo Van Helsing: "The typically Dutch prefix "van" (which in Dutch usually is not capitalized) gives the name a Dutch appearance. Nevertheless, the surname "Van Helsing" does not exist within the Dutch language area.

Nervius Secundus —Preceding undated comment was added at 14:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC).

No problem! I apologize. Nervius Secundus —Preceding undated comment was added at 11:29, 15 October 2008 (UTC).

Where have all the results gone...

Hi! Why have you deleted all the results of the olympic triathlon? Bináris (talk) 17:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Now I see, but not easily. I really looked for them before I wrote! While the qualification has a visible main template, the results, which are much more important, are hidden under "details" with small letters. At least they should have a main template as well. Or a normal link under the table. Bináris (talk) 18:49, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Godtfred Holmvang

Hello Doma-w. You and Sports Reference may be interested in knowing that someone claiming to be Godtfred Holmvang's son in law has posted his date of death, and is going to confirm it with the Wikimedia foundation soon. You can see the discussion here and judge for yourself. Also, you are more than welcome to change things on my Olympics page if you see any mistakes, thanks! Cheers, CP 21:14, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Paul! This is really interesting. Thank you also for allowing me to change things on your Olympics page. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 21:43, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Templates

It depends exactly what the user is doing. If they are repeatedly undoing edits without discussing then that is an appropriate place to take it, but that doesn't seem to be what they are doing. I would recommend simply talking to them and trying to resolve the difficulty, and if you can't then adopt one of the measures in Wikipedia:Dispute resolution to get wider input on the issue.

James Barker

I found this page by surfing the net, searching for information about my late father-in-law James J (Jeffrey) Barker, who died on 20th October 1947 after a long illness. Thanks to the controversy surrounding the validity of his Wikipedia entry (and that of many other sports people, no doubt) I now know far more than I did about his achievements. If the need for further information about him should ever arise, eg to promote him to a properly surfable Wikipedia entry, I would be happy to oblige! Gigi007

Dear friend, I am very happy that you have sent me this message! I have saved all the info about James Barker on my user-page in the hope to find more info and it looks like that the miracle happend... :) I am interested on every info to give your father-in-law a surfable wiki entry, but there are also other Olympic historians who would be very interested to come in touch with you. The easiest way is to send me a private mail to "doma-wien (at) gmx (dot) net". Kind reagards and many thanks Doma-w (talk) 23:36, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I have tried to send me an email. Please post another message here, if my email hasn't arrived. Gigi007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gigi007 (talk • contribs) 08:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I just answered your mail. Thank you very much! Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 15:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

No content in Category:Hungarian freestyle swimmers

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Hungarian freestyle swimmers, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

(CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Hungarian freestyle swimmers, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

F3000 articles

I wish to query about the necessity of having two different point standings on each article. Surely putting a note of the point system at the top of the colour-coded table is legitimate. Regards. Cs-wolves(talk) 23:27, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! There are not two point table. The first table shows the points, so this is the point table. The second table only shows the placements in the races, but no points for every race, there are only the total points shown, so this is not a point table. I think the point table is the most important part of every motorsport page? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 23:37, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, however nearly all motorsport articles on here have the placement table, along with a table with the point system in it/have the point system listed/just like F1 points. It'd be far easier to have the placement table with a table of the point system.

say like this:

Pos.	1	2	3	4	5	6
Points	9 or 10*	6	4	3	2	1

* - depending on season of course.

That's just my thoughts on it. Oh, and the tie-breakers had the drivers in the correct order, because you have drivers with a best of finish of say 20th higher than a driver with a 7th best finish. The 7th comes higher in the championship.

Regards. Cs-wolves(talk) 23:45, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Please allow me to ask you: Do you really like to have only these hard to read tables? Isn't it very hard to see who scored how many points in every race? "nearly all motorsport articles"? Please have a look at Formula 2, Japanese Formula 3000, Indy lights, or IRL. And I do not know why Formula One articles do not have a seperate point table??? Yes, your edits "head to head order" were correct, I am sorry about this... Kind regrads Doma-w (talk) 00:00, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I meant most recent motorsport articles, yeah I am aware of the older articles having said tables. Apologies for that mix-up. It's not hard at all, but many people (not including myself) will think that those numbers relate to the place they finish. There just has to be a definitive points for the articles, rather than the two in one. Either one would be sufficient to me, so it's up to you I guess. Regards, Cs-wolves(talk) 00:05, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi again! I still think that all three tables can stand together. So every user can choose where to find the information he is looking for? But maybe it is necessary to explain the tables better? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 10:35, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, a better explanation would be just. Regards. Cs-wolves(talk) 13:04, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Re:Canoers

Regarding the canoers, I am going on the information provided at the time from the sports-reference.com source. I try to get exact information on their competitive years, but sometimes that is not able. This is why I can only give a best guess. I have done this in the past with cross country skiing, ski jumping, nordic combined, bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton when the exact information has not been available. I hope this helps. Chris (talk) 15:09, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I see your point. What has me concerned is the question is did they compete in other events doruing that time period? Something to think about. Chris (talk) 15:24, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

When I do an article creation on certain sports, I try to put in the Olympics and the World Championships. I start with the Olympics to get an accurate range, then proceed to the World Championships. There are times the same people medal both in the Olympics and respective World Championships, so I will make the competition years more accurate as more information becomes available. Look at the history of some of the articles in luge with List of Olympic medalists in luge, FIL World Luge Championships, and FIL European Luge Championships as examples. Chris (talk) 15:50, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

In this matter, we will have to agree to disagree then. most of the problem I have seen on this has been with the earlier competitors given the organization who deal with this may not have accurate information so you are playing a guessing game on this. Chris (talk) 16:11, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

1936 Berlin French Rowing Medalists

My French isn't excellent, but I believe that this article on Noël Vandernotte implies that all his companion rowers (Georges Tapie, Marcel Vandernotte, Marcel Cosmat and Marcel Chauvigné) are all deceased, although it doesn't explicitly say it. What do you think? Cheers, CP 19:35, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Paul! Well, my French is bad... But translated into German the text says nothing about about the other four, if they are still alive or not. But if one of them would be still alive, maybe the article would say it? Not sure what to do. Thanks for checking all the articles! Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 00:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Removal of LEGITIMATE tags

Hi you recently removed the tag {{unreferenced}} from two articles , Tommy Souraniemi and Tomas Sivertsson , they were and still are unreferenced could you please explian your actions . I have reverted them as Good faith edits . Regards 安東尼 TALK ^圣诞快乐 16:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Easy to explain, there are refs! The "External links" give perfect refs? So I will again delete the tags as unnessecary. Doma-w (talk) 23:58, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

They need to be put in a references section. Also in text citations are better to use within an article. I will tag again. Do not remove unless there are references put in place. If you need help then don't hesitate to contact me on my talkpage , regards 安東尼 TALK ^圣诞快乐 15:58, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

No, I need no help, thanks. It's the wrong tag you are using... Maybe you mean "Template:Citations missing"? But I "cleaned up" both articles, Tomas Sivertsson and Tommy Souraniemi, hope it fits now? Doma-w (talk) 17:13, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

I have copy edited both articles and removed some of the in text citations as their simply doesn't need to be that many, regards 安東尼 TALK ^圣诞快乐 18:33, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Klaus Weiß

A tag has been placed on Klaus Weiß requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. RandomHumanoid^(⇒) 00:46, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

?? See: Wikipedia:Notability (people) Doma-w (talk) 00:50, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

You still cannot remove CSD tags on your own articles, even if the nominator (i.e., me) is wrong, as I am in this case.RandomHumanoid^(⇒) 06:00, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Klaus Weiß, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. RandomHumanoid^(⇒) 00:59, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry! I will do so the next time. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 09:25, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

FYI

Hi! I saw you created Japanese valley ball player articles. I copyedited Setsuko Yoshida and Toyoko Iwahara. I think it might be better to use this template.
{{nihongo|'''Junichiro Koizumi'''|小泉 純一郎|Koizumi Jun'ichirō|extra=born [[January 8]], [[1942]]}}. It looks like this.
Junichiro Koizumi (小泉 純一郎, Koizumi Jun'ichirō, born January 8, 1942).
And please do not write first name family name order like 純一郎 小泉 in Japanese. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 14:54, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks! As I do not speak Japanese this is not so easy for me. I do not know how to write e.g. Koizumi Jun'ichirō. But maybe you can help me? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 15:06, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Of course. But I've go to go now. I think this page is helpful. Happy editing! Oda Mari (talk) 16:36, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Use these letters with macron by copy and paste. Ā ā Ē ē Ī ī Ō ō Ū ū. Oda Mari (talk) 16:41, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

List of Olympic medalists in alpine skiing

Thanks a lot for your suggestions for the page, they have been extremely useful. I wanted to add a list of the top (5-10) skiing medal earners, but haven't been able to find a list anywhere. Do you know where I could find one? Thanks, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:33, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

That is perfect, thank you very much. In case you'd like to try working on some other pages and taking them to FL, the FIS website has lists of medalists in all of the other skiing disciplines. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I'd be happy to help out. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Do you have any more concerns about the list? Also, I've been working on List of Olympic medalists in freestyle skiing, which is practically ready to go, it just needs a few stats (ie. oldest/youngest medalist) and List of Olympic medalists in short track speed skating. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:06, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I will have a look what I can do. But for these sports I also have no sources, but we can look about the DoB's from the medalists. At first I will create articles for the red links in short track speed skating. I also saw, that you have deleted the medal table from the e.g. Speed skating at the Winter Olympics. But I think we can show this table here and also on the "list" pages? Don't you think it would be nice to have these tables on both pages? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 17:28, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help again. In response to your comment about adding a notes column, I'm assuming that you mean to the various lists of winners (and not one of the ones instatitics) and I don't think it's necessary as it would be difficult to find NPOV notes for each row. It would also make the table far too wide. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:21, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Philip Kingsford

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Philip Kingsford, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Not notable person

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Oo7565 (talk) 19:07, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

James Barker (athlete)

Here are my suggestions:

1. Per Wikipedia's policies on original research, anything you got from the reference "Gay Barker, daughter-in-law" cannot be used.
2. Once you've removed anything covered by that reference, if you feel it's been significantly improved, then show it to the people who voted to delete and the closing admin. If enough of them agree that the article can be recreated and that their concerns have been addressed, then it shouldn't be a problem to recreate the article.
3. I'd also remove "Ninty-six years after his Olympic performance he became famous again. In 2008 he was deleted from English wikipedia, which still does not correspond to the Wikipedia notability guidelines" before you tell anyone to look at it, as that's not going to help your case at all.

Cheers, CP 22:56, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll put it this way: if the other people who voted to delete are okay with it, so am I. I'm happy to roll with consensus on this one. Cheers, CP 23:12, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

On Irish Whales

Hi Doma-w. Thanks for the comment on the Irish Whales. I noticed the bot generated message about sourcing, but I thought I had cited this photo as public domain from the Library of Congress. I'm aware that there was an existing version of this image, but I cropped it to clean it up a bit. Being new to this wikipedia world, I guess I did something wrong. Can you tell me how I can revert to the cropped version of this photo, and avoid this problem in the future if I crop photos that are already in the wiki commons? I've noticed that none of the Library of Congress photos I've come across are cropped, and all really should be. Thanks very much for cleaning up some of the pages I've created and contributed to. Best regards, Winged Fist (talk) 11:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Formula Atlantic

Hi Doma-w, you have modified the Formula Atlantic 1998 classification. Your modification are not in line with the official classication issued at that time. In motorsport there only a small number of cases, where you have pilots tied in the final classification. There is always a point in the rules to sort out the position. This is the case for the 1998 Formula Atlantic classification. Contributions must be linked with valuable sources, unless the wikipedia image would be altered. Best regards.

Hi Doma-w With the modification you made, you introduced mistakes on this wikipedia page. Please use accurate sources for your contributions. Best regards

Hi Doma-W Concerning the information you put in all the pages concerning Formula Atlantic, please show the sources you use. It seems that some of the classifications you put in the wikipedia pages are different from the ones given by the organizers at the time. Best regards.

Middle names

Regarding this edit. I know for a fact that this is a wrong middle name. The database is inaccurate. He is a Lithuanian, but his middle name is a broken transliteration of patronymic name added according to Russian customs (as he competed for Russia). Same is true for all other Lithuanian athletes in the database. While first name and last name are accurate and with proper diacritics, the middle name is total bogus. Renata (talk) 02:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

But if he was born in USSR, then he was registered at birth with the double script: Cyrillic Russian (with patronymic) and Latin Lithuanian (without patronymic). Am I wrong? --necronudist (talk) 09:41, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, you are wrong. My Estonian birth certificate issued during Soviet times is entirely filled in in Estonian and Latin alphabet. Estonian language was the official language of Estonian SSR (and I think Lithuanian was in Lithuanian SSR) although the field names are in double Estonian (latin alphabet)/Russian (cyrillic). And no patronymic name, although father's (and mother's) name is mentioned as usual with birth certificate. Gh (talk) 13:08, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Uhm... time ago user Vlma111 told me something different... who's right? --necronudist (talk) 13:35, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Maybe passports were different, I don't know. I didn't have a passport back then (at least I don't know that I had a passport back then, I was probably too small at that time (in my teens)). You can see one example here. I have birth certificate like this, filled in in Estonian. Gh (talk) 14:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Uhm... I asked him for IDs and he answered for passports... yeah, maybe they were different. It should be noted also that in Belarus (and Belarusian SSR) Russian is an official language. However, the focus is to understand if in the USSR a person did born with a Russian Cyrillic name or a native-SSR-script one (and with or without patronymic)... or both. Maybe asking a Wikiproject (don't know what) can help? --necronudist (talk) 15:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

At least here in Estonia we didn't born with Russian Cyrillic name and without patronymic (if you weren't ethnic Russian of course). Same is true in Latvia and Lithuania. Other former republics I don't know exactly. The use of patronymic name is Slavic custom. Gh (talk) 15:20, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

This Soviet-Latvian footballer has the patronymic in his Cyrillic script... if a person wasn't registered also in Russian Cyrillic script and customs.. where did that patronymic come from?? I mean, the only way to know it is to ask it directly to the player... --necronudist (talk) 10:48, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

He's a ethnic Russian, although born in independent Latvia, so why he can't have patronymic name? As said, it's Slavic custom. Gh (talk) 18:57, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

As far as I've understood, in Latvia patronymic wasn't recorded in official docs... After your reply I think I've misunderstood: patronymic wasn't recorded, except for explicit requests. So we can say that the only way to know (and, however, not at 100%) if a person has the patronymic is to know his heritage. Maybe that's why some people born in Russia (like Czech ethnics) don't have patronymic, too. I thought recording the patronymic was an automatic thing in Russia SFSR and not recording patronymic was an automatic thing, e.g., in Baltic SSRs... --necronudist (talk) 19:49, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

No the patronymic name wasn't recorded then in official documents, but you can't take away peoples culture, so they called themselves still with name and patronymic, regardless what the documents said. And you can't put Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians to use patronymic name, regardless what the official documents might have said back then. That's not our culture. Gh (talk) 20:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

question on ambiguity

Hi Doma-w! I have a question - there´s another austrian called andreas stadler, who´s the director of the austrian cultural forum in ny. I wanted to enter his details, however, being relatively new to wikipedia, I have no idea how to create a disambiguation page to indicate that there would be two andreas stadler. Can you help?

Stan Tomlin

Hey Doma-w. I noticed that when you created the Stan Tomlin article, you listed him as deceased. How did you come to that conclusion? Cheers, CP 20:59, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

There is nothing to find in the net. I thought that there would be something when he is still alive. I hope that there would be an article if a 102 years old CG gold medalist is still alive? But there is nothing so I think he is deceased. Did you find anything? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 22:33, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

True, but Silas Simmons wasn't rediscovered until he was 110 years old, so it's always possible to avoid the spotlight. Because of WP:BLP issues, I'm going to put him into "possibly living people" for now... unless you have a source that mentions who the oldest living gold medalist at the CG games has been in recent times maybe? (I couldn't find one) Cheers, CP 00:51, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Of course, that's OK. Thanks for correcting my mess. :) Kind reagrds Doma-w (talk) 00:56, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

One more quick question: for Willie Legg, did you mean that he was born in Robertson, Western Cape instead of died there? I don't want to correct it if it's not a mistake! Cheers, CP 16:27, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Again you are correct! I will change it. Again thanks for checking all my mess. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 17:03, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

List of Olympic medalists in ice hockey

Hello, I've decided to start working on this list, and I was thinking of changing the format. What do you think of format B here? I do think the second one looks neater and more professional, but I could go either way. Thanks, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Puuh... Well, to be honest up to now I saw no need to change the format... And again I can only say that of course this is not my decision! I think it is really necessary to post questions like this on the talk page of the WP:Olympics. My personal opinion is that in format A the players look more like a team. The teams look more compact to me. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 01:42, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

What do you think of using collapsible boxes? One of my concerns was that it would be annoying for anyone who wants just a straight up list of winning teams, and I think this might work. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:18, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do not feel insulted, but personally I hate collapsible boxes in any cases... For this special case here I would like to tell you, that it is not working exactly. Please try to hide and show them for several times. Sometimes the nations are missing and some times the text is lapped? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 15:27, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not getting that problem. If the boxes were working, would you support using them in the article? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:35, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I think it is necessary to put a "valign=top|" in front of every {{hidden begin|title=}} then the problem is solved. Hmm, well, a list is a list, so I think there is no problem that a list looks like a list? So for pages like this I would still prefer format A.

World Cup qualifiers

Hi mate, Well done with all your hard work on wikipedia. I noticed you were creating thorough pages for some of the FIFA World Cup qualification tournaments but have not included the actual set of results and scorers. Would you mind adding these to the bottom of the articles, like here, using footballboxes and adding links to the match report on the FIFA site. Cheers. 03md 13:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Great you like it! Looks like you are the first... But up to now I have no plans to do this also for the 2010 qualifiers. I would prefer this style 1954 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA - Group 1). Why not add some more facts, for the 2010 qualifiers I think it would be also easy to add a match report in a prose text? But I think this needs the support of the WP:Football. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 12:09, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I was meaning would you be able to add

	v

to the 2002 qualifying pages so the scorers are listed - that's what I was showing on the 2010 page. 03md 10:19, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Harold Hardman

An editor quite rightly claimed that Harold Hardman couldn't have commanded a £100 transfer fee if he was an amateur. He couldn't have been an amateur for the duration of his career, could he? - Dudesleeper / Talk 22:46, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Interesting question! To be honest, I don't know. I can only offer the "Amateur definitions" given here Football at the 1912 Summer Olympics (from the official Olympic report). Maybe he was not an amateur during his whole career, but in 1908 he had to be an amateur, because of the IOC rules in that years? Maybe he havn't earned money up to 1908 with football? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 11:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Your edits to Alexander Parygin

I observed you removed text from the article on Alexander Parygin, claiming it contained copyrighted text from another site, "http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/2008/MOP/mens-individual.html". I agree that there is a word-for-word match. However, the text was added to the Alexander Parygin article on 2 July 2008, with references to newspaper articles from the same day, namely 2 July 2008. The Olympic event took place one and a half months later, 21 August 2008, and the sports-reference article must obviously date from after the event took place. An interesting case, though. Did sports-reference copy the text from wikipedia (without attribution), and claiming copyright? Or did sports-reference catch the news from Australian newspapers on 2 July, and was this section copied from sports-reference word-for-word into wikipedia the same day, but attributing four original news articles and not sports-reference, even complicating matters with this copyedit? Maybe you could ask the editor for clarification? Oceanh (talk) 23:40, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of István Varga

A tag has been placed on István Varga requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hi there, I was wondering if you were able to assist in the referencing of the many Olympic Handball player articles that you created. You may or may not be aware that the backlog of unreferenced BLPs has been a big issue this year, and there are now projects (WP:URBLP and WP:URBLPR) set up to help clear the backlog. In the past few weeks I've referenced a heap of Olympians (see here), but have now come to the handball players, and I whilst I understand the expectations back when you created them were lower, it is now not acceptable to have unreferenced BLPs. There are 52 of them remaining... almost half of the total olympic list. Are you able to help? Most, if not all, should be referencable from http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics, but I could do with a hand. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 12:50, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Indy Lights

I understand your issue with the template and I am actually doing up the race summaries for the 1998 season which includes the information removed from the race calender and more so it is akin to the 2001 seasons page, hopefully I will have this completed sometime tomorrow. The reason the calender was done first is it takes some time to do up and the calender was faster and obviously higher up on the page so I completed that first. I am not just deleting information, it will be returned in a more appropriate place. It is good, however, to see that people actually care about these pages!

Well try creating BLP articles with inline citations then!! It was not supposed to be a "shocking message" or unpleasant, in fact I said "great to see you active again". But your one liners without sources for sports BLPs, Darius used to create them like that. Darius was banned for copyvios, yes, but he was a very prolific editor and a net plus to the site aside from his vios.

I will add inline citations to new articles. I never used such a tool before, I prefer to do all by hand... Doma-w (talk) 10:58, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I know what you mean. But a lot of my work involves book references so its easier to fill them out adding the google book url to here!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:36, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks! This looks good - this is easy enough for me... :-) Doma-w (talk) 16:35, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Doma-w, if I can just drop in here, thank you! I'm one of the folks who has spent a lot of time trying to put references onto unsourced biographies trying to make sure they weren't summarily deleted, and you putting in a reference like that really helps that process along; helps build the encyclopedia. Thank you! (And if I can be of any help, just ask!) --joe decker^{talk to me} 15:36, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

I have the google book ref maker in my itinery programmed in User:Dr. Blofeld/monobook.js. I also have google transkate in it. Feel free to copy the google book ref part and programme it into your own monoboo. It makes sourcing much quicker. Unfortunately though many athletes still have poor coverage in books and little more than a few databases mention them.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:47, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks to you both. Doma-w (talk) 20:15, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

If your doing German hockey players this might be useful for stating their teams and appearances.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:52, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

This could be used, yes. But I am sure that not all these players represented only one club... Doma-w (talk) 15:59, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Swimmers

I think you just created an article about me being a swimmer. Just because I got into a swimming pool does not make me a swimmer.... I'm giving you a hard time. It just seems you are creating an article for anybody who swam. I've noticed all the swimming article you are creating. Thank you for putting a ref in them. Just had an editor in the past week almost blocked for not putting them, so it is refreshing to see. Keep up the good work. Bgwhite (talk) 07:30, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Frank Heckl

The article Frank Heckl has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Bgwhite (talk) 07:42, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Added refs. Doma-w (talk) 09:20, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Athletes

When you create an article about an "athlete", could you not use that term, but use the sport they are competing in. For example: sprinter, middle distance runner, high jumper, javelin thrower, etc. In the United States, an "athlete" is a general term for a person who plays in any sport. So, somebody in the US will be confused. Bgwhite (talk) 21:56, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

OK thanks, I will do so. Doma-w (talk) 07:43, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

CAC Games 4x4 template

Hi Doma-w! I noticed that you've created Template:Footer CAC Champions 4x400 m Men. Where did you get the information on the relay medalists? Most of articles on the topic (e.g. 1962 games) only list the teams and not the individual runners (the GBR Athletics source does not list them). If you could add and reference this material on the articles it would be much appreciated! SFB 11:12, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

I have added a ref to both templates. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 11:48, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

football articles

I saw you created alot of footballers yesterday. Just to let you know that you have been using an outdated version of the infobox. The documentaton on the updated one is at Template:Infobox football biography. Bgwhite (talk) 06:46, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks! I will try to use to correct one. :-) Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 09:30, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Robert Taylor

Thank you correcting my mistake re Robert Taylor.

I made the fatal mistake of relying on one source and my own memory of the 1977 IAAF World Cup.

My memory was wrong and the source was mistaken.

I should have double-checked.

I will treat this episode as my reminder always to follow best-practice.

Would you advise I take my deleted content that I realise now is for the second Robert Taylor and add it in to his page? It is valid content in terms of being about an athlete called Robert Taylor and the events he took in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dnd25 (talk • contribs) 18:57, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

No problem - finally we got it! Please have a look here Robert Taylor (athlete born 1953). Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 21:45, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Template:Canada FH Squad 1979 Pan American Games

I noticed that you wrote Template:Canada FH Squad 1979 Pan American Games and a few similar ones. Unfortunately, those templates link to an disambiguation page. To be precise: Canada national field hockey team. But the way you wrote the templates, makes it impossible to me to set the link to the right article, that is Canada men's national field hockey team. Can you fix this problem in all your templates? And can you prevent happening this in yet-to-write-templates? Thanks in advance. Night of the Big Wind _talk 11:35, 27 May 2012 (UTC) certified killer of links to disambiguation pages in templates

Done. This was not a problem of these templates. Template:National field hockey squad did not allow a link to the men's teams. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 14:37, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

No wonder I could not solve it! Thanks a lot for the prompt action. Night of the Big Wind _talk 15:48, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Oops, I am back again! This time the problem is Template:United States Squad 1959 Pan American Games. Night of the Big Wind _talk 00:36, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks for your note! This it was my fault... But I have just corrected the link. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 16:10, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

Can you add them to the talk pages of articles you create? Example of how to. It is helpful for others and ties the article to various WikiProject schemes. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 00:10, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I've been taking care of the living ones, but it would be nice to add them to the dead people you create. There is no list of newly created dead people, so they fall thru the cracks.

Also, could you list them as "Olympic footballer" instead of "Argentine footballer" in the short description. There is no rules to add the country, but more importantly, it is easy for me to see that they were an Olympic athlete. I add WikiProject Olympics to their talk pages. I see so many of your articles, that I just briefly glance at them, so this will help me out getting the correct banners on the talk pages. Bgwhite (talk) 07:27, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Usually a add "Olympic" to them, but now I remember that I missed a few yesterday... Sorry! Doma-w (talk) 07:37, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Template:Footer Mediterranean Champions 4x400m Men

Where did you find the names of the compositions of the winning relay teams at the Mediterranean Games? --Kasper2006 (talk) 16:08, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Judoka articles

Instead of creating one line articles on every judoka who ever competed at the Olympics, may I suggest creating better articles on a smaller number of them. Perhaps you could focus on medal winners or judoka from a specific country. Even if you wish to continue with listing every Olympic competitor, I think it would be better if you had additional sources and gave more information about each of them. These are just suggestions.
