That seemed to fail! I have created a new template that automatically writes the year: instead of creating new templates for 1979, 1978 etc., just use {{Golf Major Championships master|YEAR}}. Where I wrote YEAR, put the year. So by putting {{Golf Major Championships master|1979}} you get

Golf logos

Hi, I have restored some of the non-photo logos, as listed at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 July 16. Cheers Kevin (talk) 06:48, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Interstate 64, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Millbrooky (talk) 17:50, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This was NOT vandalism. Check out other websites pertaining to interstate highways! --FourteenClowns (talk) 03:39, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Russellville, Kentucky

Please do not add non-encyclopedic content to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit and this edit to Russellville, Kentucky. If this person is notable, please create a page about him or her before adding it to any lists of notable natives. In addition, please review our policies on notability, verifiability, neutral point of view, and reliable sources. Thanks. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 13:45, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What did I do wrong? --FourteenClowns (talk) 04:04, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Amare Stoudamire

He's not a Knick yet. Free agents aren't allowed to sign contracts until July 8. --Muboshgu (talk) 04:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is why Wikipedia people bother me with their anal ways! He is a New York Knick, lol --FourteenClowns (talk) 04:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is he now? Then where is he on the roster? Read the NBA rules. Free agents can start negotiating on July 1. They can't sign until July 8. That means that whether or not a player has an agreement in place before the 8th, they can't sign it. That makes the player a free agent. --Muboshgu (talk) 05:04, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked for edit-warring against consensus, and falsely calling the edits of others "vandalism", when you knew full well that isn't true. Enigma^msg 15:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And FYI, it's "for all intents and purposes", not "for all intensive purposes." Enigma^msg 15:54, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why the hell am I blocked? You guys are edit-warring as much as me and this is over something trivial. I believe he's a Knick. You don't. It doesn't warrant a block. Lets come up with a compromise. Jeez --FourteenClowns (talk) 15:54, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And thanks English teacher. Lets come up with a compromise here. You don't have to block people just to get your way. I'm only editing something I believe in. I'm not blatantly putting false information down. --FourteenClowns (talk) 15:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edits shouldn't be based on what you "believe in". They should be based on verifiability. We know that Amar'e will sign with the Knicks. That means he hasn't signed with the Knicks yet. Which means he's not yet a Knick. No belief required. Mosmof 15:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A)You've been edit-warring across multiple pages, despite being told why your edits do not comply with Wikipedia policy. B)You've been calling constructive edits "vandalism", when they clearly aren't. C)You've been vandalizing yourself. See the above sections. Hopefully you'll stop when the block expires. Enigma^msg 15:59, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They are vandalism to me and you got to have something better to do than guard these pages 24/7 until midnight tonight. That's the analism of you wikipedia nerds at its finest. Amar'e is a Knick. We all know it. So the fact your waiting to the strike of midnight is just stupid. There are actual vandals out there writing lies all over wikipedia. You guys getting hung up on a technicality is too anal. He's a Knick. We all know it. Do something more constructive with your time! --FourteenClowns (talk) 16:44, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Do something more constructive with your time!" I would say the same to you. You can call everyone else nerds and all kinds of other names. But stop and think about what that makes you. Enigma^msg 17:33, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're the one watching the page 24/7 based on a technicality. I'm merely updating the page to reflect the obvious. All my edits will be back in place at 12:01am tonight, and had you all allowed them when Amar'e proclaimed the "Knicks were back" things would have been alot easier. No one is going to come on Wikipedia and then to the Amar'e Stoudemire page and raise hell because Amar'e isn't technically allowed to sign to tomorrow. People know he's a Knick and they expect to see that. So yes, you are all nerds for making life difficult and sitting by the computer til midnight tonight making sure it doesn't change. --FourteenClowns (talk) 17:39, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The obvious is that he's stated his intent to sign with the Knicks. If I say, "I'm going to Vegas!", that means something different from "I'm in Vegas".

Also, it's doubtful that he'll sign right his contract right on the dot at midnight tonight, so you don't have to worry about editing the article then. We can wait till he puts pen to paper and actually becomes a Knick.

Finally, Wikipedia is not a news service. Its concern is about things that have already happened, and there's no rush to get the latest information out as it comes out. In Amare's case, the Knicks signing will happen, but hasn't happened yet. What has happened is the agreement to sign, so that belongs in the article, but we can wait until he's actually a Knick before we declare him a Knick. Mosmof (talk) 17:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly right. And if people protecting the accuracy of Wikipedia are "nerds", I again have to wonder what that makes people who constantly edit war on Wikipedia and devote hours of their time to fight with others and insult them. I am not watching the article for 24 hours. Thankfully, I don't have to. I will, however, be watching you, Mr. Clown. Enigma^msg 18:02, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bad example Mosmof. Amar'e was in Vegas. He was at MSG with a Knicks hat on proclaiming NY is back. And you are a nerd, Enigma. Face it. I get more tail this month than you get in your lifetime :). --FourteenClowns (talk) 19:00, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, if Wiki is not a news service, how come there is an "in the news" area on the main page? --FourteenClowns (talk) 19:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So go and get your "tail" and stop bothering us. If you're into dogs, I won't judge you. Enigma^msg 19:18, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good one, so lets just unblock me and call a truce. This wasn't vandalism. It was a matter of opinion. If I do something you don't like after this truce you can ban me further. I will respect the consensus even though it's wrong, haha. --FourteenClowns (talk) 19:38, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how you've earned that, given your response to the block was to insult me. Enigma^msg 22:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Listen, you took me off guard. I've been a good user. Look at my contribs to the golf pages on Wiki. I edited in a famous YouTuber on one page and got a note saying he was non-notable. That was a matter of opinion, not vandalism. Same here. Lets bury the hatchett. I apologize for my response. I was just ticked off you'd block me based on something that's trivial opposed to vandalism. And you do have the power to block me again should I do something out of line. I assume you'll be following my contribs for awhile. --FourteenClowns (talk) 01:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, I'll unblock you. In the future, please refrain from edit-warring and calling people "nerds" and various other negative names, regardless of how much you disagree with them. Please remember that you don't know anything about other Wikipedia users. I might be a chimp that got loose at a zoo and managed to find a computer, I might be an 80 year old woman, I could be a 12 year old, or I could be a middle aged accountant editing Wikipedia in his spare time. There's no way of knowing. Enigma^msg 01:08, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but why did you start with the chimp? haha... --FourteenClowns (talk) 01:10, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still blocked. Set to expire July 9th. That's longer than it originally was! --FourteenClowns (talk) 01:14, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I started with the chimp as a joke; an attempt to lighten the mood. As you've probably guessed, I am indeed human. Anyway, you must be autoblocked, so you'll have to follow these instructions. Your account is not blocked at the moment. See here for proof. That's your block log. Enigma^msg 01:16, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I chuckled a little. Although, monkeys do like the Knicks. I'm a Bulls fan. I'll give those instructions a whirl.

--FourteenClowns (talk) 01:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did I do this right? --FourteenClowns (talk) 01:25, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, you have to fill in your IP address. Currently you have ... listed there. If you want to save time, go to whatismyip.net, copy the IP listed there, and paste it here. I'll unblock that IP and you'll be good to go. Enigma^msg 01:27, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done Try it now. Enigma^msg 01:30, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All good. Thanks! You're a pretty smart human... or chimp... --FourteenClowns (talk) 01:32, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about all the trouble. You might've read it at the autoblock page, but basically when an account is blocked, the underlying IP gets autoblocked as well to prevent block evasion. So if an account is unblocked within 24 hours or so of the original block, the previously blocked user still has to go through the autoblock process so an admin can unblock the IP. A regular admin like myself cannot see your IP, so you end up having to post it. Cheers, Enigma^msg 01:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense though. No worries. Are you a basketball fan? This FA stuff is getting on my nerves, haha. --FourteenClowns (talk) 01:41, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I follow basketball pretty closely. During the NBA and college seasons, I watch about five games a week. Obviously more during the tournament and playoffs. Enigma^msg 01:53, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good stuff. Have to say I'm a bigger college fan. Glad that the tournament wasn't expanded to 96. --FourteenClowns (talk) 01:57, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(A not so) quick note - I noticed your edit summaries suggesting that free agent signing becoming official at midnight. That is not the case. It just means they can start signing and making official announcements about terms of contracts. Actual signings may not happen for days, depending on travel schedules and physicals. And keep in mind that players can fail physicals (Robert Traylor is the one player who comes to mind). Plus, the Wade and Bosh signings will probably So please don't declare signings official until, you know, they've actually signed and made things official. Thanks. Mosmof (talk) 03:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, if you read that edit, I didn't proclaim Bosh a member of the Heat. I only expanded the section that was already there by adding the nugget of Bosh saying he will join the Heat along with Wade in an interview on ESPN. That revertion is a bit much man. --FourteenClowns (talk) 03:29, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the revert was made by Muboshgu, not Mosmof. I agree that it shouldn't have been reverted. Maybe he thought you were putting in the same stuff as before. Enigma^msg 03:31, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd just hope people would read the change before reverting. I'm not going to put anyone on their new team until its official. The physical is a good point there. I would think these teams did their homework already, but yes, you never know. Tractor Trailor was a bust! haha... --FourteenClowns (talk) 03:33, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And sorry Mosmof, the names looked similar to me. Good point. --FourteenClowns (talk) 03:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Mu posted on his talk that he thought you were making the same edit as before. Enigma^msg 03:57, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I just hope people read the edit before reverting next time. --FourteenClowns (talk) 04:13, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1985 PGA Championship

Cherry Hills was a par 71, as it always has been for Men's major championships. You got the scoring wrong by calculating the course as a par 72.- William 15:06, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice catch! --FourteenClowns (talk) 02:29, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That one link you sent me is wrong. Here's a news article written at the time.

Jonathan Papelbon

From the Boston.com source, "Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com is reporting the Phillies have an agreement with closer Jonathan Papelbon pending a physical." As players do fail physicals from time to time, we do not declare things to be finalized when they are not finalized. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:20, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They all take physicals. And if we wait till every t is crossed and i is dotted it technically isn't officially in stone for another month or two. I know for a fact Wiki changes things before that. --FourteenClowns (talk) 20:21, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm honestly tired of these Wiki nerds and clowns who troll the site all day enforcing stupid technicalities. --FourteenClowns (talk) 20:25, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tell the Phillies, who are about to invest $50 million dollars in his arm, that the physical is a "technicality". – Muboshgu (talk) 22:01, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
