[edit] Thanks for stub info

Just wanted to say thanks for finding out how many stubs there were. I'd wondered about that. Jerdwyer 15:46, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] School athletic logos

The athletic logos for virtually every D-I school can be found in the article for their individual conference. — Dale Arnett 01:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'd also like a copy of the spreadsheet to save me from having to extract all the same info from the linked page. Please could you mail it to me at csjo at swan.ac.uk ? Many thanks in advance for saving me the time! :)

Hello, I too would like a copy of the spreadsheet. Please send it to rush_jamese@hotmail.com. Thanks so much. Jim

Hello, I would like the spreadsheet for a project that I am doing on. It'll be great if you can send that spreadsheet to me at phelan_aka_nexus@hotmail.com. Thanks alot. Hanes.

Would like to have the XL sheet on storage devices please. Use email account tim.gatton@gmail.com. thanks.

Please send me the spreadsheet as well. email jkominek@cs.cmu.edu. I might help out with a second version of the graph. By the way, last year I attended a lunch/talk with Krdyer (of Kryder's law) as one of the speakers. Should have asked him at the time for historical data! Johnmkominek 04:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I would like a copy of the Excel spreadsheet as well: chris@pearsonmail.com. Thanks a bunch!

Hello -- I would also like a copy of the spreadsheet for a story I am writing. dconnor@nww.com

Hey, there: along with everyone and their mothers, I would like to play with those data, if possible. Could you possibly email me at hamilton.ulmer@gmail.com with it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.110.249 (talk) 09:30, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering if you could also provide me with a copy of the spreadsheet used, I not only would like to use it for a statistics project but also maybe update the image (as you stated you would like) email: webmaster@ionno.dreamhosters.com Thanks! --Ctrlfreak13 23:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've updated the Kryder's Law article a bit. I think it should show your graph, but also the areal density growth. Right now, it's just on the Moore's Law article. I'd suggest there needs to be a knee in the curve about 1992. See what you get for best fit on the before and after data. Thanks, LeadSongDog 17:19, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm also interested in the Excel spreadsheet: broughturner@gmail.com . Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Broughturner (talk • contribs) 13:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stub graphic

Dantheox, regarding the first stub graphic here, there doesn't seem to be any legend for the graph. It's easy enough to figure out from the context of the article, but if you have the data already, I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to just update the image. Whatever can be done would be great. Cheers and happy editing! --Kchase02 (T) 03:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chebyshev function

I noticed you created Chebyshev function. While I study science and engineering, I'm not familar with the function. But does it have anything to do with Chebyshev's inequality or Bertrand's postulate? Bertrand's postulate seems to have a good deal to do with Chebyshev function. If the two are the same, you should merge your new info and create a redirect from the article you created into the existing one. Kevin_b_er 07:33, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, just checking because I couldn't tell if they were the same or not. Didn't want to confuse people with multiple pages about the same thing. Kevin_b_er 07:41, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] French Open

Hi there, I used [1] for the French Open brackets, and some mediaguides at home. Regards, --Darius Dhlomo 05:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Good work (!) on the Tennis Project(s), but I love to see a space in between the flag and the player's name. Regards once again,--Darius Dhlomo 07:29, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Compact version of Template:16TeamBracket?

Hi,

Would it be possible if you could make a compact version of the Template:16TeamBracket (like you did for Template:32TeamBracket at Template:32TeamBracket-Compact), at Template:16TeamBracket-Compact?

Thanks! - Nick C 17:08, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for making the brackets! Finally could you make compact versions for Template:8TeamBracket and Template:4TeamBracket (I need to use them for tennis tournaments) Thanks! - Nick C 17:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm using them for the qualifiying rounds where the route to qualification is different, if you know what I mean. - Nick C 17:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Template:8TeamBracket

If I understand it correctly, you wanted me to add something similar to the "score-width" parameter you added to Template:32TeamBracket-Compact [2]

So here is the change I made: [3]

[edit] Wimbledon

Good job expanding the boxes in the brackets to accommodate the names, as well as cutting the seeded players list into two columns. It looks better! --Joey80 02:38, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flag of Rhodesia

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template#Editing_flag_description. Do not use the ISO country code feature if there is no ISO 3166-1 code for the country. (SEWilco 04:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] 2006 US Open

Hey Dantheox, are you going to set up the brackets? I can do it if you can't. Just tell me what to do. :-) —MC 00:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

No, I'm afraid I don't know any scripting languages. —MC 17:54, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two-legged brackets

I was wondering if you knew how to/could make brackets for two-legged soccer ties, as in the UEFA Champions League or the CONCACAF Champions' Cup ... penalty shootouts are one variable that would make it difficult, but otherwise it should be a simple bracket like the 2006 College World Series bracket. It would be very useful to streamline lengthy explanations of two-legged tournaments. Probably would only need 16-team (UCL, Copa Libertadores) and 8-team (CCC) versions. Also, who is this? I'm Will Rice '05. Jyardley 15:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:WikiProject Tennis

Yeah, I really hadn't done anything though. I just took the format from WikiProject Baseball, and I really hadn't added any tennis stuff to it. --Nishkid64 14:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need help with keeping the Wikipedia article that compiles all the Grand Slam performance timelines

Hello Dantheox: If you're interested in keeping the performance timeline comparison tables as a Wikipedia article, then please make your opinion known at the articles for deletion discussion here. Thanks! Tennis expert 23:00, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for fixing the Tennis banner

I had copied it from the Cats banner (I guess you kinda figured that :) ), and evidently forgot to change the portal mentioned. That was stupid of me, and thanks for having caught it. Badbilltucker 14:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Wiess-crest.jpg, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 14:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 Aussie Open

Hey there, I re-added the Final 16 draw to 2007 Australian Open - Men's Singles. I was hesitant adding it as it is unlike the past tourneys, but decided to since Wikipedia’s message seems to be be bold. ;) I like seeing the separate draws merged sooner because it allows a better picture of the whole draw in the final 16, rather than just the quarters. I’m not looking to get into an edit-war, I’m just pointing out what I think. I have no qualms with your point of view in retaining just the quarters in the finals section as in previous slams. Feel free to switch it back or retain the change, no worries. It’d be nice to put the Final 16 on the main page to show Men’s and Women’s with a few more names still on the brackets. As I said it’s my opinion, and likely of a few other Wikipedians, just as your view is shared by others. Feel free to drop me a note and I look forward to working on some more tennis article with you. Take care, mate! Captain Courageous 12:24, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I threw a comment on Talk:2007 Australian Open to get more folks opinions. Feel free to add your take. :) Captain Courageous 12:32, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NCAA Tournament Information

Dantheox, I am the creator of HoopsTournament.Net. I noticed that you used my site for most of your information for years 2004 and prior. Let me know if you need any information that you don't have. Also, check out the facts of the day for trivia on the tournament.

[edit] RSS

I do not plan to personally support any RSS option; it was taking way too much of my time and wasn't working well for me (often, I'd screw up a tag and end up sending a malformed doc out all week). If you'd like to do something, please feel free. Ral315 » 08:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't mean to duplicate your work, but I've established a blog for the Signpost to send to Planet Wikimedia. This RSS feed will pretty much be the same as your current feed. I apologize for the time you've put into the RSS feed. Ral315 » 04:02, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NCAA Tourney info

Thanks for the compliment! I love looking at the #'s myself, whether it be conference info, RPI's, NCAA tourney W-L records, etc etc. I can't wait till Sunday night for the NCAA Selection show. This is definately the best time of the year; I'm giddy like a kid on Christmas Eve... lol! - CollegeSportsGuy 09:50, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:GorgeAmphitheater.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:GorgeAmphitheater.jpeg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] National Championships

Should you perhaps change these to say "U.S. National Tennis Championships?" There are other championships with that name. JHMM13 04:33, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I believe these articles should have Tennis in the title. I hope you agree. Thanks, JHMM13 04:57, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australian Championships confusing? (reply)

The confusing tag was removed from the 1936 page. Was rather hasty in the tag, though. It was added since it wasn't immediately apparent what sport the list article referred to. However closer look at the category and main article identify the sport. But as suggested in the talk item immediately above, the titles could be renamed to indicate this is about tennis, in case it needs distinction from other types of championships. Dl2000 22:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] (Year) Australian Championships

Hi there. I have just seen at Wikipedia:New articles (Australia) your series of article relating to the Tennis championships. I really think you should move all of these articles to a name which includes "Tennis" in it. Clearly, it is quite likely that there are or have been Australian Championships for something - I am guessing Athletics, but also Swimming and Cycling.

Secondly, your series of articles make no attempt to meet the requirements of WP:ATTRIBUTION - that is they do not provide a source for the information regarding winner / runner up. Could you please add source details to each article.

Thanks,Ga rr ie 02:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Regarding sourcing: linking back to an unsourced article would not be any help, because an unreferenced list would be ripe for being deleted. It seems you have an interest in tennis, doesn't the Association of Tennis Professionals publish any of these results? or the covering media?Ga rr ie 04:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I was hoping you would get someone to use a bot to move these by now based on the comment you left on my talk page?Ga rr ie 04:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australian Championships

It's nice to know you: I'm a tennis writer of Japanese Wikipedia since November 2004. Yesterday, I wrote Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis for the first time. I've contacted three tennis writers of English Wikipedia (Tennis expert, twice from his huge talkpage // Zaxem and HJensen). I found two marvelous writers from Tennis Project talk, you and Spyder Monkey. About Australian Championships, I found the best source, their official book!! "Our Open: 100 years of Australia's Grand Slam", published in 2004. I gained it from an eBay auction. Complete drawsheets, detailed history -- very faschinating book. I'm studying Australian Opens 1977, January and December events. My articles in Japanese, not only final results, but also progress (QF -> SF -> Final) and historical background information. I hope, book information may help you. My best regards. --Hhst 10:23, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roger Taylor (tennis)

Hi, I see you've done a huge amount of work on tennis articles - and know vastly more about the sport than I do. Could you help with Disambiguation link repair? There are a lot of tennis links which point to [[Roger Taylor]] but which should point to [[Roger Taylor (tennis)]]. I've fixed most of the ones which should point to the other Roger Taylors (mainly drummers), but don't know enough about tennis to be sure that there weren't other Roger Taylors playing tennis as well as the famous one, and don't want to accidently point people to the wrong person.

[edit] Wimbledon...

Hi Dantheox, you have created several articles like 1902 Wimbledon Championships - Men's Singles. This table must be wrong according to 1902 Wimbledon Championships (look at the final) and according to [4]. I've not looked at all your creations, but at least 1900 and 1902 are wrong, and I suppose, many others too. Would be nice if you could repair it. Jón ₊ 22:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
