Hello Jeff. I am not new to Wiki and try to provide a reliable source if possible. If you would provide me with samples where I failed to do so, I would be happy to cite a reference or change an article. Regards, No troll (talk) 01:09, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Actually I found that you have reverted number of my editions that have included references to reliable sources. I will continue discussion on a page that have been reverted. No troll (talk) 01:15, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fencing at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics

edit

Thanks for updating the fencing results at the 2010 summer youth olympics. But could you please next time link the athletes using the "[[ ]]"? Thanks for the help! Saulopro (talk) 01:24, 17 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Actually, unless someone creates an article for each athlete in Wikipedia these would be creating of orphaned links. I am in doubt that a biographical article for each athlete will be ever created, since single achivement usually does not qualify for a biographical article. Perhaps we should ask community opinion on the topic or submit the pages for review?

i dont know who exactly this was but if u was it pls dont write the surname before the forename. thx.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 09:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

For all the results Last Name being displayd first is correct. You have to look at the the results on Officail Games Website to find out, for instance: http://gis.singapore2010.sg/Nav/RES/ENG/FE/results/FE_003000_M_results_bracket.html In general all athletes are mostly known by their last name that is also displayed on the back of their uniform. The only exception if the athlete's name is intended to be used as a link to a biographical article. I have not changed your edition on main article where links to biography could be appropriate, but please refrain from changing the order in results No troll (talk) 13:10, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
yes i agree but if u add the internal link and write the name dont write the forename after the surname. look at all the names here in wikipedia, e.g. jimi hendrix, its not hendrix jimi. i hope u understand me. greetz.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 17:19, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
I did raised a question before whether we should have links to Athletes names if there is no biographical articles about them. This creates a lot of orphaed links in Wiki. No troll (talk) 17:30, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
One cannot rule out the possibility that the sportsmen will get great sportsmen with bio. -- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 09:05, 23 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to the African Destubathon

edit

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
