Thanks for undoing that reversion. I was looking at my watchlist, and accidentally pressed the "Rollback" button. I didn't think it registered, and I assumed it would take me to a separate page. Sorry for that. Cheers, Mm40 (talk) 14:20, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

No problem, having seen your history and noticing you'd been reviewing the FLC I had assumed it was just a simple accident. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:23, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

GAN notice

Hi Rambo's Revenge, you currently have at least one article up a WP:GAN in the Sports and recreation section. In an attempt to clear out the backlog there, User:Wizardman asked all sports WikiProjects to review at least two articles from that section. I'm now going around and asking anybody with an article nominated under Sports and recreation to review at least one article in that section to help us clear the backlog out so your articles can finally be reviewed faster! iMatthew talk at 15:13, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I reviewed one (Roy Keane) and I hope I did it right because it was my first GA review. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 21:09, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Music on The O.C.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention - though to be honest I don't actually remember nominating that AfD almost two years ago! Well done on the main article, Music on The O.C., and I agree with you that it's very good. And though I don't recall nominating the original list of songs for deletion, I still do think the same. I just don't think it's at all necessary to list every song that has ever been featured on the show, and quite frankly I don't see how a reference for each song proves its notability. I also think that such a list is fairly indiscriminate and crufty - it may or may not fall under a number of the criteria at WP:LISTCRUFT, but one of the key points I think is that the list is simply unencyclopedic, and I don't think anyone could reasonably expect a list of songs of any kind in an encyclopedia. In my opinion the only songs worthy of mention are those included on the soundtrack mixes. Let me know what you think, or if you want to take this discussion to a wider forum, I'll be happy to join in. —97198 (talk) 07:59, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Question

Do you know how to change the unicode characters in the units in Template:geobox to superscripted numbers (e.g. m² to m2? Dabomb87 (talk) 19:03, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Never ask me a question like that again! :) Just spend three quarters of an hour figuring out what was wrong. Anyway I found it and made the changes [1][2][3][4]. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 20:05, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

List of "Grand Slam" tennis champions

If you would like to re-add the sortability feature to the status quo version, please do so. Any version that deletes the names of winners [Fyunck(click's) version] is a POV fork at best, vandalism at worst. Happy editing.Ryoung122 08:24, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

But I would disagree and it's why I sourced the article to include the proper "slam" winners. POV is entirely in Ryoung's court so to speak. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:59, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Okay, now you are arguing on my talk page which is quite ridiculous. I have started a fresh discussion which I hope will be the beginning of some constructive discussion instead of endless arguing. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:53, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, unfortunately your "Toon destroy the Town" prediction was rather accurate. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:34, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

You think I could become an Admin one day, after all of this what are my chances, hum?BLuEDOgTn 03:58, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
I don't see why not. Lots of great admins have made mistakes before. This only thing I'd say is, it really isn't the be all and end all. There are many great editors who are not, and have no desire to be an admin. Admin work is a rather dull, and thankless task to be quite honest, and personally I take much more enjoyment in improving content because that is what is seen the most.

WikiCup Newsletter XXXII

FL Wimbledon, US, French, Australian?

I think the title is quit deceiving in that it say List of US Open Men's Singles champions, and pre-1968 it was the U.S. National Championships. Go look on tennis history, and see how imperative and important the change was to the open era to professionals was, which Don Lope and others' fail to realize. I understand it has an addendum, but it is quite inadequate because Open in tennis mens a different championship than does National Championship. This pages must be broken apart into two articles Pre-Open and say List of US National Men's Singles champions, and the List of US Open Men's Singles champions. This is not like golf where we can have them all called PGA Champions, U.S. Open Champions, Masters Champions, or Open Champions because Tennis has eras, and I don't think by making such connotations in the wikitable of champions is adequate at all for an electronic encyclopedia. Further, why did the feel the importance in making a separate Navbox for the National and the Open Years and Champions? Because they are separate and deserve to be unlinked and if you would not put them all in an open navbox why list them in the same article. So, I am to believe we must make each the men's singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles, mixed doubles of Wimbledon, US, French, Australian, and I left off open and championships for a reason. Go look at list of Open Era Champions in the navbox for the reason this must be split and not included together! I think in Don Lope and everyone else's haste and immediacy to get these done they forget the implications of eras are to tennis because tennis is not golf and cannot compare eras, which Bud Collins and many tennis authorities say. This means we should not put them in the same articles comparing them in an encyclopedia. In tennis eras matter more than people and editors think. I was just gnawing on this concern for the fact why is it separate in one place like navboxes and not in the articles, and that is why I am advocating them to be split-up like so the navboxes! This will be work on my behalf, but I am more than willing to get this done to accurately represent tennis eras and history.BLuEDOgTn 04:14, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't quite know what you are asking, but I guess it is whether the title "List of US/French/Aus Open ... champions" is appropriate. Basically, you will never explain all the complexities in the title. Explain the details in the lead and for the title use the Wikipedia:COMMONNAME, and for this US/French/Aus Open does seem in common usage even when referring to the pre-Open era. Best, Rambo's Revenge(talk) 09:54, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Me and Fyunck(click) came up with the idea of changing the names of the articles to include say for the US one the List of the U.S. National Championship/US Open Men's Singles Champions or it can be like List of U.S. National Championships – US Open Men's Singles Champions?BLuEDOgTn 19:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
I like the second one, and we can put in redirects to this new title, and I like the idea of splitting the introduction into three parts with reference to recordholders and the wikitables into two parts Wikitable would be similar to List of PGA Championship champions..BLuEDOgTn 20:06, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
