[edit] Your Edit to Harry Potter 7
Welcome, and thank you for correcting spelling on Wikipedia! However, both spellings of the word you "corrected" are acceptable.
Please familiarize yourself with American and British English spelling differences before making further spelling corrections to articles. Wikipedia has 4,069,766 registered users on this English Wikipedia. These editors use different versions of English including American English and British English. The list of dialects of the English language goes on and on.
When many styles are acceptable, avoid changing from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. It is acceptable to change from American spelling to British spelling only if the article concerns a British topic or vice versa or if you are making the article internally consistent.
More information is available at Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Enjoy your time on our encyclopædia/encyclopedia. 
Thank you. John Reaves 04:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add protection tags to unprotected articles. The tags do not cause the articles to become protected; they just create confusion on whether the articles are protected or not. To request protection on pages, use WP:RFPP. --Nlu (talk) 06:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Deletion tag to Robert MacTaggart
I am not the one who first added a speedy deletion tag to the artile Robert MacTaggart - it's someone else added the speedy deletion tag first, then another person blanked the page because he think Robert MacTaggart is not notable, and I reverted the blanking. By the way, the article Robert MacTaggart does not meet the criteria of WP:Bio. Rockvee 01:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My name
"Shanel" is just a variant of the French name "Chanel." According to this website it means "pipe." :)--§hanel 04:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Newark Academy
I have noticed you watch the Newark Academy page like a hawk. You seem to live under the incorrect assumption that Christina Capatides is famous. Winning a contest nobody cares about does not make a person famous. Many Newark Academy graduates have won contests, scholarships, and fellowships, but you do not list them. Sam Birnbaum was infact annointed as a pinball grandmaster earlier this year, yet you belittle his accomplishments by deleting him from the page. Wikipedia is about sharing information, not creating pages that function under the rule of a pompous dictator.
[edit] IP vandals
Hey there. Whenever I have added comments to the talk pages of the users who are making these changes and then looked at their home cities, Knoxville, Tennessee and the same Internet provider come up. This is why I believe it is the same person, using dynamically assigned IP addresses. Administrators can do a block based on IP address ranges, but I'm not sure that would be practical in this case because a huge number of people use that Internet provider and they would end up being blocked collaterally. We just need to be diligent about fighting the vandalism this user is determined to inflict, at least until consensus changes, which I don't think will happen. We also could file a report on WP:AIV or WP:ANI and request semi-protection of the articles through WP:RFP so that IP addresses cannot edit them. Thanks very much for helping to fight vandalism on tennis pages as this is a recurring problem. Tennis expert 17:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spencer Tracy
I researched and put the academy award nominations neatly into the infobox, but you deleted it. I was just wondering why, since it is seen in that format on other actors' pages. Supertigerman 01:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
infobox is for wins....can you imagine the 19 academy nominations of o'toole, and the emmys and the golden globes?....well, you get the point --emerson7 | Talk 01:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] tennis score format
Check out the Nadal Talk Page, as well as the Federer Talk page. There is a huge disscussion on those topics thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.6.32.12 (talk • contribs) 03:57, 28 February 2007.
you seem to be alot less hard headed than TENNIS EXPERT. thanks I will stop the edit waring for now. I cannot guarante the others will stop though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.6.32.12 (talk • contribs) 04:18, 28 February 2007.
Dear Supertigerman you should join us, we could use you. Think about it. but your pale tennis expert must know we will never back down. Me and my buddies are capable of haveing thousands of IP accounts. Any ways we are not vandalizers. we are doing this for the good. You could start changeing score formats to the correct ones on other tennis pages. (we expect to change EVERY pro tennis players score format soon. not just these few.) This edit war is pointless unless you want to have every Tennis players Article FULLY protected. (and I dont think the administrators could be depended upon to update tennis articles by themselves.) SEMI protecting is nothing. This war will never end, unless Tennis Expert and his pals agree with us.
Thank you. and have a nice day Supertigerman. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tennis Genius (talk • contribs) 05:13, 28 February 2007.

[edit] Elin Nordegren
Since you are very influential in the content of the Tiger Woods page, I thought I would ask you about this edit. Most celebrities include spousal information in their infoboxes. I feel it should be readded. However, I don't want to step on your toes. I also think, it will be appropriate to add an offspring entry as well in the near future. Respond at my talk page at your convenience. TonyTheTiger 04:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- You are the man for the Tiger Woods page so I wanted to run some things by you. Should his spouse's maiden name be in the infobox or her married name? Also, the page seems to wikify years even when not part of a full date. According to WP:DATE, I think the first occurence of a year might be linked [[2007 in golf|2007]] or [[2000 in sports|2000]], but not [[2007]] or [[2000]].

[edit] Formatting of tennis players' pages
User:Lman1987, under various names and IP addresses, continues to try and change the formatting of the records sections of various tennis players' pages. The user is trying to make what they believe to be a constructive improvement (and to some extent I see their point on how it would be nice to see players' finals all listed in chronological order), but definately needs a lesson in constructive discussion and enagagement on Wikipedia.
I previously said on User:Tennis expert's talk page that I didn't like this user's ideas on formatting becuase it made it very hard to pick out wins from losses in that format. But it has occured to me that if each entire line of wins had its text in bold and losses were not in bold, that problem might be solved and we'd in fact have what might be quite a good format.
Here's how that would look for Jim Courier's Grand Slam finals:
[edit] Wins (4) / Runner-ups (3)
| Year | Championship | Opponent in Final | Result | Score in Final |
| 1991 | French Open (1) |  Andre Agassi |
Win | 3-6, 6-4, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 |
| 1991 | U.S. Open |  Stefan Edberg |
Loss | 2-6, 4-6, 0-6 |
| 1992 | Australian Open (1) | Stefan Edberg |
Win | 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 |
| 1992 | French Open (2) |  Petr Korda |
Win | 7-5, 6-2, 6-1 |
| 1993 | Australian Open (2) | Stefan Edberg |
Win | 6-2, 6-1, 2-6, 7-5 |
| 1993 | French Open |  Sergi Bruguera |
Loss | 4-6, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3, 3-6 |
| 1993 | Wimbledon | Pete Sampras |
Loss | 6-7, 6-7, 6-3, 3-6 |
And here's how it would look for Stefan Edberg's:
[edit] Wins (6) / Runner-ups (5)
| Year | Championship | Opponent in Final | Result | Score in Final |
| 1985 | Australian Open (1) | Mats Wilander |
Win | 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 |
| 1987 | Australian Open (2) |  Pat Cash |
Win | 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3 |
| 1988 | Wimbledon (1) |  Boris Becker |
Win | 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-2 |
| 1989 | French Open | Michael Chang |
Loss | 1-6, 6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 2-6 |
| 1989 | Wimbledon | Boris Becker |
Loss | 0-6, 6-7, 4-6 |
| 1990 | Australian Open |  Ivan Lendl |
Loss | 6-4, 6-7, 2-5 (retired) |
| 1990 | Wimbledon (2) | Boris Becker |
Win | 6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 3-6, 6-4 |
| 1991 | U.S. Open (1) | Jim Courier |
Win | 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 |
| 1992 | Australian Open | Jim Courier |
Loss | 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 2-6 |
| 1992 | U.S. Open (2) | Pete Sampras |
Win | 3-6, 6-4, 7-6, 6-2 |
| 1993 | Australian Open | Jim Courier |
Loss | 2-6, 1-6, 6-2, 5-7 |
What do you think? Would this in fact be both an improvement and a reasonable accommodation that might stop the current edit war?
Just a thought.

Zaxem 05:02, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
dont you understand anything. Snitching on me or my buddies, so you can get 1 of our IP address blocked is meaningless. We have virtually an unlimedted amounted of IP accounts. So doing that or having a revert war is basically meaningless. I really like the BOLD format. However do you think the entire line should be bolded? Or just the "Win" or "Score" (or both) category should be bolded. Instead of the whole line. Whatever works for you guys is fine by me. but the bottom line is the old format needs to go. and there is no way we will stop.
Thank You.
whatever works for you guys. So you guys want it exactly as that Zaxem guy put it. Thats cool. Frankly I like if every thing was to be bolded except for the opponents name. But good luck getting Tennis Expert the Tennis Nazi to change his mind. but you guys are gonna have to do it not me. And thus "World Revert War 3" will be ended.
Also about my reason for the deletion of the tiebreakers scores. I have 2 reasons.
reason A. because a score of 7-6(11), 6-7(5), 6-4, 7-6(6). This looks much more confusing than 7-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6.
reason B. The full score (including tiebreaker scores) is available on the "Titles" section of the page. So if someone is that interested in the tiebreaker score than all they have to do is just look at the "titles" section.
[edit] Final Solution
I believe we need to change the "Grandslam Finals", "Masters series finals", and "Tennis Masters Cup finals" to the way that Zaxem put it. but keep the Singles tiltles and runner ups parts exactly the same. This is definitaly the best way to edit the scores.
[edit] Moving forward
Tennis expert has been heavily involved in this controversy, and I think we must hear his reaction to the proposed new format and discuss it with him first before doing anything. If we do decide to implement a new format it must be beacuse there is broad agreement among the regular tennis editors that it will be an improved format, and not becuase a disruptive user who does not respect the consensus-building and discussion processes of Wikipedia has bullied us into doing so. Reverting that user's edits is becoming tedious, but enough people are involved that none of his edits are staying up very long. His behaviour is not the reason I'm suggesting this (I've never come across a persistent vandal who hasn't got tired of it and given up eventually).
I personally feel that the entire line of a win on the chart needs to be bolded in order to make it sufficiently stand out from the losses.
Zaxem 03:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- I just tried the format without bolding the opponent's name as suggested, and I think that looks pretty good. Still allows the wins to stand out, without overly emphasizing the opponent. It looks like this (using the Jim Courier example):
| Year | Championship | Opponent in Final | Result | Score in Final |
| 1991 | French Open (1) | Andre Agassi |
Win | 3-6, 6-4, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 |
| 1991 | U.S. Open | Stefan Edberg |
Loss | 2-6, 4-6, 0-6 |
| 1992 | Australian Open (1) | Stefan Edberg |
Win | 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 |
| 1992 | French Open (2) | Petr Korda |
Win | 7-5, 6-2, 6-1 |
| 1993 | Australian Open (2) | Stefan Edberg |
Win | 6-2, 6-1, 2-6, 7-5 |
| 1993 | French Open | Sergi Bruguera |
Loss | 4-6, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3, 3-6 |
| 1993 | Wimbledon | Pete Sampras |
Loss | 6-7, 6-7, 6-3, 3-6 |
I think I'd recommend this. Zaxem 03:38, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks very much for seeking my opinion about this. I've added something to my own discussion page about this and don't want to clutter Supertigerman's page with a "copy and paste" of those comments. I wholeheartedly agree with your first paragraph, Zaxem. Supertigerman, there is no place for incivil comments, on a discussion page or anywhere else, and I would appreciate your honoring of this principle. Finally, my understanding of Wikipedia policy is that posts provided by the sockpuppet of a permanently blocked user must be deleted. Best wishes! edited by Tennis expert 03:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Golf Templates
Thanks for your comments about my golf templates it is much appreciated, i will try and fix the centre thing you mentioned. About the consecutive years, i think it's fine as it is because then the template will get to big and look messy,but i'm open to ideas. User talk:Bones999 13:18, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Golfer Infopage
Thanks for the info about how to use the Golfer info page. I was actually wondering about that because the heading Majors Wins didn't make sense with just wins below. I appreciate the clarification. I believe User:Mudforce has also added a few of these for LPGA players as well so you might want to contact him/her. In the meantime, I'll get busy retrofitting the boxes.

I took the pages that Mudforce added and put them in a separate listing under her (I think it's a her) name. Crunch 01:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
