[edit] Question
Should we just strike out when a something is updated, or remove altogether the name? --Djanvk 8 July 2005 19:06 (UTC)
- Remove surely, or there will be thousands of stuck out items eventually, which will be no use to anyone. Anyway, that is what is being done. Honbicot 21:29, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bowling
Wikipedia is so widely comprehensive that the scarcity of bowling professionals and concepts stand out all the more. Could some of you editors add some? Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by John11235813 (talk • contribs) 05:10, 27 January 2006(UTC).
- we'll do our best, but you could help too if you know something about bowling.--Alhutch 05:30, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Suggestion
How come the names of current major league baseball players are not arranged by teams? I feel that by knowing the team, that'll make obtaining information more easier for those who wish to crate those articles. OsFan 18:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
I guess it's because if a person knows the player's name but not the team, it would be extremely frustating to track down the player's entry. 147.70.242.39 23:08, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- I have some pictures of Krisztián Berki - Hungarian Gymnast (speciality: pommel horse), Medallist, born in 18/MAR/1985. If it would be needed for illustrating a potential article about him. (Vituss 01:51, 1 October 2006 (UTC))

- Well if you know the team, they why not just start the article--Coasttocoast 01:52, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bibhuti Bhushan Nayak
I noticed this request in the gymnastics section. I don't think it belongs there? The accompanying article says the guy is a serial Guiness Book of Records competitor, he does push-ups on his fingertips and is a martial arts instructor. Mademoiselle Sabina 09:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- I think, it belongs to the "Misc" section of the page, and "The Urban Ninjaz" :) probably belong to the "Ninjitsu" subsection of the "Martial Arts" section. Cmapm 15:01, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- True, it is more accurate to put this in the "Misc" section of the page. --Siva1979Talk to me 15:34, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paintball topics?
Where should I request topics about paintball, airsoft, and other "combat sports"?SeanMon 23:04, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alphabetize lists of names
Right now there seems to be no consensus on whether names should be alphabetized by first name or by last name. Last name, of course, if the convention but the items are listed in the form "First Last" rather than "Last, First M.", making organization by last name confusing. Lists organized by last name often give the appearance of being totally unsorted, causing new additions to be added randomly or towards the end. Furthermore, a case could be made for organizing by first name, as this is identical to organizing by article name where first/last distinctions are irrelevant. To complicate matters, we could institute a system of "Last, First M." listing pointing to as-yet-non-existent articles of the conventional form "First Last" using Piped links.
