Edit War regards Andrade Vasco to Cadiz

Hi Matthew hk

Just need to know what is the best way to show that Andrade is moving to Cadiz in July 2008. On CBF.com.br website and on netvasco.com.br Andrade has been removed from both squad lists. Is this because he has already moved?

Feel free to change again if you wish but there must be something to show he has moved or will be moving?

Year links in articles

Do you think year links, e.g. 1989 are useful in articles? I noticed you recently readded the 2008 link into the Danijel Subotić article. I don't believe it adds any value. Cloudz679 (talk) 08:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

full date for customization is 1 January 2008 instead of 1 January, 2008. Have a look on Special:Preferences > Date and Time > Date format. Matthew_hk tc 09:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand your answer. The page you linked doesn't provide any information. Why should years be linked? Cloudz679 (talk) 11:28, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Have a look on Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers), when remove the link of the year from full date (1 January 2008 to 1 January, 2008), you will disable the auto-formating. Try to select a preferred Date format from Preferences, see what will happened. Matthew_hk tc 17:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Please see WP:DATE for correct formatting instructions

Per Wikipedia:DATE#Dates of birth and death, places of birth and death are not to be entangled within the lifespan brackets. Cheers, CP 20:06, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 06:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
