Snowboard big air

Thanks for the clarification on including it as a summer sport - I still don't quite get it, but I trust that it's in the right place. -- Natalya 23:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shovel racing

You made a comment on the X Games talk page about four months ago regarding shovel racing, but I don't know if you ever got an answer. You are correct- super-modified shovel racing was held for one year, and it was in 1997. -- Kicking222 14:15, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

College Baseball Project

Hello, I noticed that you have edited a College baseball related article. You may be interested to know that there is a college baseball WikiProject which you can join if you like. We would love to have you!

Second Mexican War Merge

Well I was just being bold and decided to merge the two pages, seeing as the Second Mexican War is basically the plot of How Few Remain, there seemed to be no point in having two separate pages. And I chose not to start a merge discussion because of its non-controversial nature (see Help:Merging and moving pages#Merging's How to Merge Section). If you disagree, feel free to revert, and I'll stick a proposed merge tag on. Oh, and that merge is just a crude one, I'll copy-edit it to truncate the long plot summary when I have some time tomorrow.

Thanks. I know we almost got in a couple of edit wars but it was nice having someone else to help contain the chaos and keep up with the madness. I noticed you're in the Olympics group, is there some kind of coordination structure planned for the '12 Olympics so we don't end up stepping on each others' toes again? Torlek (talk) 23:41, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Yeah, it was better to share the load with you, even if we had a few edit conflicts here and there. I'm not very sure if there's anything of that sort... I haven't seen any coordination structure browsing through WP:OLYMPICS. I know there's the MoS for the nations pages, but that's about all... I hope we'll be able to work something out!

Disambiguation link notification for June 28

Hi. When you recently edited United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ryan Bailey (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Disambiguation link notification for November 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited NCAA Division I conference realignment, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Colonial Athletic Conference (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Olympics

Hello Torlek,

I have a question. Do you think it is necessary to have a deficit column in cross-country skiing for the athletes in their respective nations pages? I've seen the example that does not contain it, and I have a problem. One of the users keeps on reverting my edits about the use of deficit column, and demands me to stop removing it. Hope you understand my concern. Thank you! Raymarcbadz (talk) 15:01, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Sportsfan 1234 mentioned for figure skating the names are put one the same line, because the ISU does the same [1] with their results. And for your intention, the names of skaters in mixed gender competitions must be broken into separate lines. What's the reason behind it? Which of these ideas do you think are appropriate for the nations pages? Raymarcbadz (talk) 03:00, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Olympics/Manual of Style (Games summary – Nations)

Per the Manual of Style athletes are listed with their events. Not events with athletes. So please do not revert. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 05:06, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

It was an accident. Don't worry. Everything will be okay. --Płoviskyïovę (talk) 18:51, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ice hockey Olympics

Hey I just wanted to let you know that I fixed the games and times for you. You didn't have the right times in the Qualification Playoffs. They are all correct now. 68.61.22.104 (talk) 09:36, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited United States at the 2015 Pan American Games, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Weiss. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dates and templates

Hi. I just wanted to let you know why I reverted your edits to the olympic match templates. I did it because you changed to a sorting template {{dts}} which is supposed to be used in tables for sorting. Instead {{Start date}} should be used to emit the correct microformats for the dates. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. Qed237 (talk) 10:29, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

Hello, Torlek, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I'd just like to point out one thing: we use sentence case here, please see MOS:CAPS.

So, it's not "Table Tennis" or "Group Stage", it's "table tennis" and "group stage", or, if first in a sentence or caption, "Table tennis" and "Group stage".

Thank you.

Regards

Disambiguation link notification for November 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited United States at the 1996 Summer Olympics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Liu Chuang (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thank you

What you’re doing with United States at the Olympics pages is fantastic! Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.170.74.176 (talk) 20:14, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not match templates

Please do not create individual match templates for the Pan Am Games. Please label each section. See baseball for an ex. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 14:51, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sportsfan 1234: I'd be amenable to your method (in a vacuum I'd actually prefer it because it keeps all the results boxes on a single page), but unless you've got a way to use this method to pass variables to the templates (e.g. df or bgc variables, mainly the df variable since the United States uses mdy and the default is dmy) I don't see it as a viable solution.Torlek (talk) 15:52, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The date format should match what is in the country. Its faster to name each section. During the Asian Games TFD discussion saw the section naming be the preferred method. Colour should also not be in these kind of templates as per WP:ACCESS. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 16:42, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
