Wimbledon Box Score for Mahut-Isner Match

Thanks for making the linescore box. I wasn't sure about the formatting. Yours looks a lot better! Cheers. (What a match!) DaysOfFuturePassed (talk) 20:37, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually the box score works well for tennis as well as baseball. Wow, has this been a day for sports or what? The injury time win for the football team, and then this match! Remember that Chinese saying "may you live in interesting times"? Are we ever. Go USA! (And TCU in the CWS - sorry, I got one of my degrees from there :-). Take care!

Eloisa and Abelard

I have reverted your addition to this article. The interpretation you put on it counts as WP:OR without a valid reference. In fact, the line in the poem refers to one innocent of such a relationship, so you won't find anyone to back you. Without such a reference, the fact that a line from Pope's poem was (mis)used for the film title counts as WP:TRIVIA. One last point is that the section where you added the comment covers poetry, not films. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 10:01, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk Much?

You want discussion? Start here. Doc talk 07:18, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you. I would like to inquire about the reason why it is incorrect or inaccurate to list Ted Bundy's cause of death as Capital punishment or execution, and more correct or accurate to list it as "state-sanctioned homicide." The former gives a more precise idea of the nature of his death, while the latter seems to bring a certain bias to the discussion. If there has previously been a discussion about this topic, it has been erased from the talk page and I am entirely unaware of it. Thank you. Rowsdower45 (talk) 07:25, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

  Thanks for responding! This (the cause of death) has actually been a longstanding issue with this article in particular, and many sockpuppet accounts have been used to simply revert the consensus that the direct COD was Homicide. I am pretty sure that you are not one of those sockpuppets, and that is a good thing. Trading "Execution" for "Homicide" is not a bad thing at all, but the entire homicide thing is based on a COD on a death certificate. Another notorious serial killer's death certificate lists under Item 20a five options: Natural, Accident, Homicide, Suicide, Undetermined). This is the general basis of classifying Bundy's death as a homicide. Doc talk 07:35, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

  I see, understood. The previous reverts and talk page edits suggested a somewhat confrontational tone that I wasn't quite sure what to make of, was my only problem. If all is as you say, then the WP:3 I submitted will die a gradual death and it will be left at that. Thanks for the response. I am more than willing to discuss my edits under the assumption of good faith at any time. Rowsdower45 (talk) 07:48, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

  WP:3 is perfectly fine, as it fosters discussion on the issue. All is good! Cheers, Rowsdower45! Doc talk 07:58, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Schlachteplatte

Hi Rowsdoner. I see where you're coming from and I've expanded the text to make it even clearer. For the future, you might want to check out the WP:BRD process i.e. that if someone reverts an edit, the next step is discussion on the talk page, not reverting the revert and so on. That risks an WP:EDITWAR which is discouraged. Cheers. Bermicourt (talk) 20:56, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

I am very sorry for my error on the Abraham page. I have reverted myself to your version and was wrong to not review more carefully. No excuses. My bad and sorry to waste your time on what was a very good edit.... Lipsquid (talk) 05:24, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Palpably unfair act

I have undone your edit. It is fine to provide a specific in place of a theoretical rules violation. However, in three passages I identify in my Edit Summary undoing you, you are speechifying rather than writing "encyclopedic" text. If the Cotton Bowl is really the most "infamous" case (which is the wrong word), or if it was the basis of the Unfair Act rule, these assertions require citations. To be included in the article, you need to show (through citations) more than that this was a palpably unfair act, but has something to do with the adoption of the rule. Spike-from-NH (talk) 02:15, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Gotcha about the citation issue. I was getting my info from our own 1954 Cotton Bowl Classic page, another time I'll work on a version that integrates the citations from that page.Rowsdower45 (talk) 02:20, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

I see where you got the flowery language about what was in the tackler's mind! I have reapplied your edit, a bit more matter-of-fact, and have copied one citation from the Cotton Bowl article. Cheers! Spike-from-NH (talk) 01:14, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Aight cool. No warnings on user talk pages then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rowsdower45 (talk • contribs) 06:48, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

That's not what I wrote. You should not place warnings on user pages. Feel free to add them to user talk pages. And my edit notice relates to WP:TALKCENT, but you're proliferating this discussion on your talk page and mine. Your argument also has a few holes, but I can discuss that separately.

You appear to be a novice editor despite your time on Wikipedia. You've already had one complaint about jumping to an RfC before completing discussion. I suspect that you will get more. You should have grouped them all under one RfC.

I do not believe that the RfCs are actually policy related, which is how you created them, as they are related to how to apply a policy is applied within article space. WP:RFCCAT states The "Wikipedia policies and guidelines" category is for discussing changes to the policies and guidelines themselves, not for discussing how to apply them to a specific case. So, that's going to be another problem. They may be "Society, sports, and culture" sport related, but now that a bot has processed the requests, it's too late to change them.
