New player articles
Thanks for your work creating the new player articles! It will be interesting to see who performs this season. Samasnookerfan (talk) 21:21, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It certainly will. I think the most interestin is how Reanne Evans will perform as the sole women among the 95 men. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  21:27, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah been a long time since a woman has competed, i'd say she deserves her opportunity for being so dominant in the womens game. Samasnookerfan (talk) 21:32, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

inre: The Blonde with Bare Breasts AfD
I have been keeping the nominator informed (see), and thought I should alert you as well. Since your coment at the AFD, the article has gone through some significant changes, changing the unsourced article that was first nominated, into one that has been expanded, is now encyclopedic, and now definitely sourced. I am happy to be able to report the addition two significant reviews... one from Variety and the other from NRC Handelsblad. Might you advise what else might be done to address your concerns? Thanks, -- Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:00, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Inappropriate AfD closure
Your NAC closure of this AfD as "nomination withdrawn" was inappropriate and in direct violation of WP:NACD. Such a NAC would only have been appropriate if, apart from the initial !vote of the nominator, there were no other substantive delete !votes in the discussion. That was not even close to being the case here. Please revert the closure and relist the item immediately. Nsk92 (talk) 17:00, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I have posted a request at WP:AN that your NAC be reviewed by an admin. Nsk92 (talk) 17:10, 14 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I have reverted your good-faith close as non-admin closure is not suitable for controversial AfD discussions; AfDs should only be closed by non-admins if the full 7 day period has passed and there is uncontroversial consensus, or if the nominator withdrew the nomination and there were no !votes in favour of delete. GiftigerWunsch  [TALK]  17:16, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

AfD revert
That IP !vote is vandalism from a long term banned IP hopper who is attacking me wherever there is a chance to (my RfA, and talk page were attakced recently).. A range block has been implemented. Cheers,  Connormah  talk 19:49, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Power Snooker
Hi Armbrust. A new stub, Power Snooker, has been added. It has ben suggested that this stub be merged to main article Snooker. Editors are invited to go to Talk:Power Snooker and leave their views in the debate.Kudpung (talk) 03:31, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Hard Justice
There is no consensus to move the article. A consensus must be established in order for the main article to be moved. Also, just 1 week ago the event was called Hard Justice. Not enough time to warrant a common name. A discussion to establish a consensus must occur first, as per policy.--Will C 19:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Why you writing snooker sites in english wiki but not in hungarian? AND-62 Russia —Preceding undated comment added 22:15, 27 July 2010 (UTC).

Resolved
Just FYI: Using as you have been (i.e., simply applying it, without elaboration) is a good way to start instead of end or avoid disputes, as it looks like a declaration of "victory" by fiat. It is much more productive to give a neutrally-worded and (when possible and relevant) policy- and/or guideline-based rationale, e.g.  or something like that. See what I've done with Talk:Ronnie O'Sullivan/Archive 1 for examples. If you phrase a "Resolved" tag in unequivocal but policy-grounded wording and without invective, it is very unlikely to be challenged. But if you just slap on it with no elaboration, it often just irriktates people and suggests to them that you are personally declaring the discussion "over" and in your favour, for personal reasons you won't disclose, and further that you are thus ignoring others' viewpoints. It's best to address why the viewpoints in question aren't applicable, by reference to policies or well-accepted guidelines (especially WP:RS, one of the most frequently transgressed in snooker articles). Hope this helps. :-) — <font face="Trebuchet MS">SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 07:21, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 July newsletter
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (,  and ) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by, who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to, who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by. We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition. If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn, Fox and The ed17 22:29, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, is an IP sock of  who is blocked indefinitly for a combination of misrepresenting sources and major copyright violations.

Treton Series + tournaments
Hey.....Armburst...

Why did you add in the Tretorn SERIE+ tournaments into the ATP Challenger Tour? I don't understand. I know you said that you made it bold but honestly you can't see it and knowing that there are two different divisions within a whole of one tournament makes it hard to read. I know that it's part of the ATP Challenger Tour....but they had their own special little box for their own division. :/ Care to explain your reasoning? I just don't understand why to add more and just keep it simple. T amer_of_Hope  talk  20:07, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * As you just said, they are ATP Challenger Tour tournaments too. Without them the template is incomplete. The other solution would be to change the title of the template title to "ATP Challenger Tour Regular tournaments". If you agree with this, i'm willing to modify the template.

Shaun Murphy (snooker player) edits
While I appreciate most of your changes, I would be grateful if you would not make unnecessary (and sometimes wrong) style changes, such as the space em dash. See WP:EMDASH, which says "Do not space em dashes." There's also the general consensus that styles should not be changed without consensus. Also, the Template:World Snooker will not be used as it is bloated and contains errors. I would be grateful if you would not force through these unnecessary style changes. Christopher Connor (talk) 00:40, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, will not space the dashes. But what is your problem with the World Snooker template? And if there is a problem, than you should change the template, not remove it. It is a consensus on WP:SNOOKER to use the template. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  00:49, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * As an external link, I think it contains too much info, like the copyright dates and such. Most external links don't contain this much stuff and if you were writing it manually, you wouldn't think to include all that stuff. It also italises the website, which shouldn't happen, though I suppose this can be fixed. Christopher Connor (talk) 00:58, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The template is either modified or not, but it will not hinder the GA listing of the aritcle. The Ronnie O'Sullivan article contained it too, at the time of the listing. The unreferenced info is a much more hindrance. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  01:06, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * No big deal I guess. Can you fix the template so it doesn't italise the website? Christopher Connor (talk) 01:09, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If you mean "WorldSnooker.com", then i must say, that i can not do it. In the template it is not italised. The template uses the Cite web template, "WorldSnooker.com" is in the work parameter. It looks to me, that this parameter is always italised, but this template is indefinite blocked, and only admins can edit it.

When "resolving" talk page issues, like here, could you sign your name so that others can see who wrote the material?

 * Also, please revert the changes to the author fields for the WWW Snooker ref. It is a self-published website and there is no author for any particular page. You have also not consistently applied these changes to the whole article, merely one ref. Why have you removed the bit "knocking the latter out of the top 16"? Seems notable to include as far as I can see. Look, I don't want to discourage you, but every time you make an edit, it seems I have to come along and correct you on some issue or other.

 * Certainly, it's not one of the critical facts in Murphy's career (and obviously more pertinent in Matthew's bio). However, people may wonder, who was it that knocked Matthew Stevens out of the top 16 when he was there for 8 years and after losing in the world final?

Bereck Kofman
Your label for speedy deletion in my opinion is not warranted. I am starting the article. How can you judge its importance. Coming after another intervention of yours, on another article, I find it suspicious. (Highland14 (talk) 00:33, 2 September 2010 (UTC))
 * If you find it suspicious, than it is in your head. The article does not indicate, how its subject is notable. If you move it in your userspace until you finish and place Userspace draft on it, than i'm willing to remove the db-person template from it. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  00:39, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with that. Just give the man a chance to do his work, before rushing to conclusions. (Highland14 (talk) 00:46, 2 September 2010 (UTC))
 * Have moved it to your userspace (to User:Highland14/Bereck Kofman), removed the expand and db-person templates, added the Userspace draft (to avoid MfD on the ground of WP:FAKEARTICLE) and commented out the article namespace categories. Please only move it back after you finish it (i'm watching the page). If you want to create new articles like this (where the first versions don't indicate notability), than do it in your userspace and after you finish, than you can move it in the article namespace. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  01:02, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. But between you and me, I think you should have first contacted me, before puting the label delete. That's Wikipedia's curtesy. (Highland14 (talk) 01:06, 2 September 2010 (UTC))
 * Ok. Next time will do that first. Happy editing for you and good night for me. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  01:09, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Now, I appreciate. Good night to you. (Highland14 (talk) 01:11, 2 September 2010 (UTC))
 * Thanks for the cookie. I just finished the article. But I don't know how to put it back as an article. (Highland14 (talk) 02:29, 2 September 2010 (UTC))
 * Moved it back to articla namespace. Please note, that if you work on a draft in you userspace than it should not be categorised in article namespace categories. I will no renominate it for deletion, although i can't see how he is notable. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  09:51, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I would like to know how you did both: userspace and back to the article, for the futur. One more word about notability. Sarah Kofman was a world famous philosopher, a colleague of Jacques Derrida, himself a world famous philosopher. Sara Kofman wrote about her father, his life. She never accepted what happened to him, and ended taking her own life. In his own rights, before the war, he had a role in the French Jewish community. So, his notability is on two grounds: his own and in relation to who was his daughter and his influence on her. (Highland14 (talk) 14:15, 2 September 2010 (UTC))
 * On this picture you can see the "move" button. With this articles can be moved. The fact that "Sara Kofman was a world famous philosopher" and "wrote about her father" does not establish the notability of her father. So his only notability would be, that "he had a role in the French Jewish community", which falls under WP:BLP1E. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  14:33, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * What I said is you can't understand Sarah Kofman without the background history of her father and his destiny. There is a direct link. (Highland14 (talk) 20:22, 2 September 2010 (UTC))

If it is so important for the Sarah Kofman article, then this information should been added to the article for example in a "Early life" section. There's no need to create an article for this. Armbrust <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  20:58, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a catch-22. When adding to Sara Kofman, many details of her father's life, you will be told, but that's Sara Kofman's life, not her father. You have to separate them. Here is a chance to have the two entities. (Highland14 (talk) 21:54, 2 September 2010 (UTC))
 * If you only write one paragraph about his father, then i think it is not a big deal. Naturally only that information should be added, that depicts the influence on her. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  22:12, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Then it's limited information. (Highland14 (talk) 22:50, 2 September 2010 (UTC))
 * I think we should end it there, as i will not nominate it. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  22:52, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

inre: Mirror Maze AfD
I'm still working on it, but even without a current article, director Guillermo Fernández Groizard is a notable and quite prolific television director in Spain, and this film represents his feature film debut. And AS that debut, it has gained attention and critical response in Spanish press. The article is undergowing a complete transformation and now receiving the attention it merits. So far, what began as this stub with a minor assertion of notability, is now THIS... with proper sourcing (and more coming). I invite you to review the article and offer suggestions for continued improvement. Thanks,  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:51, 3 September 2010 (UTC)


 * And thanks for THIS  I get lucky once in a while... and my German and Spanish translation skills are not too rusty.  Best regards,  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:17, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

inre: Raghupati Raghava Rajaram AfD
I agree that the article Raghupati Raghava Rajaram should be deleted, specially as it does not have the coverage to merit being one of those rare exceptions to WP:NFF. However, as it is one in a series of recent problems for director Shaji Kailas, I went ahead and added one sourced sentence to Shaji Kailas#2000-Present, mentioning Raghupati Raghava Rajaram in context to his other recent setbacks as a director. Might you agree that after deletion, and as readers might search for the cancelled film by name, that a redirect to the director's section will serve? I also believe a redirect will help prevent an inappropriate recreation of this article. -- Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:24, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Relisting Édmée Schneerson
As reviewing administrator, I thought the nature of the AfD discussion had so far degenerated   that, invoking IAR, I thought it advisable to close, blank, and relist at Articles for deletion/Édmée Schneerson (2nd nomination). I'm sorry that you'll have to give the argument over again, but see my note at the AfD 2. And please avoid mentioning other matters than the article in question.

Edit warring on shortcuts.
A revert of a revert is edit warring. Your addition of "amusing" and unwanted shortcuts to various guideline pages is not appreciated. Please discuss shortcuts before applying them to well known pages. Additional shortcuts to pages that are well known by their existing shortcuts is deeply unhelpful. If folk starting using "RSMED" it would result in confusion. I have asked for a third opinion from an admin User talk:GrahamColm#Shortcuts. Please consider self-reverting your shortcut additions. If you still feel your shortcuts are useful, post a request on the guideline talk pages for other editors to comment on. Regards, Colin°Talk 21:56, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:EW says: "An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about some aspect of the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions, rather than try to resolve the disagreement by discussion." Thus a revert of a revert is not edit warring. Even if you think so. Please don't make falce accusations. I have not created this shortcuts. I merely added them to the project pages. If you don't like them, then you can bring them to RfD. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  22:18, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * List of the shortcuts you removed:
 * WP:RSECT was created by at 19:48, 8 December 2009
 * WP:RSNB was created by at 12:14, 10 July 2007
 * WP:RSMED was created by at 16:51, 26 April 2010
 * WP:RSWP was created by at 09:49, 9 March 2007 (by the way RSWP originaly was redirected to a section title "reliable sources whenever possible)
 * WP:RSA was created by at 14:01, 8 July 2010 (was added back by )
 * Armbrust <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  22:32, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I apologise for misunderstanding your edits. I didn't realise the shortcuts already existed. However, on thinking about the distinction, I think there is a difference between having a shortcut that enables a mistyped (or mis-remembered) shortcut to redirect to the correct page, and advertising such a shortcut on the guideline itself. It is the latter I'm most concerned about. People know WP:MEDRS by its shortcut. People have not heard of WP:RSMED and would be confused if it got used regularly. There's nothing wrong with the original shortcut so why advertise an alternative?
 * Wrt edit warring, you are wrong. Let me quote from the section "What edit warring is" in WP:ER: "editors are strongly encouraged to engage in civil discussion to reach a consensus, and not to try to force their own position by combative editing (making edits they know will be opposed) and repeated reverting. It is the latter approach which is known as edit warring" You performed the "repeated revert", for which there is no reasonable excuse. See also the widely respected essay WP:BRD: there is only one R in BRD.
 * Your original edits were not helped by you joking when making an edit to WP:RS, one of the most widely cited guidelines. This made me assume you were not taking the issue seriously and hence I reverted you without posting anything to your talk page. When you saw those reverts, you should have engaged in discussion rather than just revert me back (edit war).
 * I shall be reviewing the shortcut redirect pages and taking them to RFD if required. I shall also be posting a request to each of the guideline pages that, regardless of the RFD decision, the extra shortcuts should not be advertised. I would appreciated if you would reconsider your reverts (and revert yourself) and see the merit in not having a multitude of advertised shortcuts, especially on pages that are known only by their shortcuts. I am busy this morning, so won't get round to the RFDs till later.
 * Regards, Colin°Talk 07:23, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I will not revert this edits. I think there is no policy, which states that (1) if there is one shortcut, then another one can't be added or (2) how many shortcuts can be placed on a particular project page or section of a project page. If the RfDs close a delete, then the shortcuts can be removed. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  11:27, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

My Barnstars for finding secret user pages
Hi, Armbrust. In a July/August 2010 policy discussion (at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/Archive 34), community consensus was that the policy What Wikipedia is not prohibits secret pages. At Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Smithcool/Secret Pages, community consensus was that a page devoted to hosting secret page barnstars would be deleted.

You may be interested in this user-conduct RfC, which was largely prompted by the trend of behaviour evident from persistently reverting you for no apparent reason across various articles (eg. here) – for the record, I do not consider this canvassing as you appear to be very much at the heart of the dispute and the most interested party.

Tweaking
There's no need to remove certain stuff like the template, since that needs to be created; the infobox parameter needs to be made (as it exists like other ones); the redirects look likely to be moved. Etc. Doesn't matter these things don't exist now; they help in their creation. Regards Christopher Connor (talk) 18:56, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * As long as the template is not created, the parameter is not made and the moves were not made, the edit is right. The articles can be moved, as it was the consensus at WT:SNOOKER, but nobody said he will move the articles. (By the way the template was not removed, it was just commented out.) Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  19:01, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I dispute your edits were "right". It's a matter of if these should be made and whether this would encourage their creation. Since I believe both to be true, I think you should revert your changes. Christopher Connor (talk) 19:05, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I make the template visible, but don't change the others, as they are not visible. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  19:09, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Doesn't really matter that they're visible or not. Someone could wonder why it doesn't have links to the previous edition for example. And then they could check the box and see, well it's someone's intention to have it made. Or they could see it appear in the edit window and decide to create it. Similar thing for the redirects. Look, all this isn't almost the main thing. The point is why do you feel the need to have to correct these "mistakes"? How for example are they harming the article or project? That should be focus of anybody's activity. Christopher Connor (talk) 19:23, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * If this parameter is created (which i think is a good idea) then it should be added to all articles, that use this template. And i think it is better to avoid redirects if possible. Interesting you initiated a discussion about the moves, but don't do it. Why? Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  19:29, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree it should be added to all articles, of course. That's why I want it created. In the meantime, there's no need to remove it from any articles that are "asking" for it to be created. It would be hard work for one person to move that many articles. And there's only been 3 people in favour (though that's probably enough). Christopher Connor (talk) 19:37, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * If you created the parameter, then is should be named "prevevent", and there should be an additional "nextevent" parameter. If you create this parameter, than i gladly help to add them to the articles, but as long as they don't exist, they should not be added. I think the articles can be moved, as there was enough time and no objections were raised.

Proposed resolution for KnowIG
I talked to the KnowIG and we have decided that the majority of the problems were due to reverting which lead to nasty messages about reverting etc. So:

We have proposed that is there is a revert for something such as grammar or spelling that you will fix it instead of reverting it. It is much easier that way. If it is reverted and you forget to fix it then he will leave a KIND note on your talk page, which will avoid nasty comments. I see that most of the problems are coming from another user who is going by the name TT. I am going to file an ANI for KnowIG so that TT is not allowed to have contact with KnowIG. Is this proposed plan Okay? It seems that it will resolve the problems. <font color="#0000DD">Joe Gazz84 user•talk•contribs•Editor Review 23:12, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Chris Evert's grand slam history
Look at this good wikipedia friend! Peace to you. BLUE <sub style="color:#FF0000;">DOG TN 03:10, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * My observations:
 * I think there are to many sections in the "Her Grand Slam Tournament history". I think the "1987–1989: The decline, and the conclusion to a career" section should be a level 2 heading and the other years should be combined the same way. There is no other level 2 heading with content at the moment besides "Her Grand Slam Tournament history".
 * I think it flows better having individual year not combining them, unless it is going to be put on her main page. I think it allows you to get to the content and read it quicker and easier if it is under all different year headings. BLUE <sub style="color:#FF0000;">DOG TN 17:32, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I mean the "1987–1989: The decline, and the conclusion to a career" section has 3 subsections. The others can be grouped the same way. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  17:39, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Is not there a consensus in tennis project, to omit scores in text?
 * Yes match scores, but not to report on the status of scores during a set or set score individually because if we cannot do that in prose it would be like writing a story without giving the interim details. The match scores that I put in I would gladly delete if you would want me to be in set scores like 2 games to 4 or two games to four, I would not be in favor of removing for them.

Ronnie O'Sullivan and the final black
You removed the text "O'Sullivan played the final ball faster and harder than usual, seemingly unconcerned as to whether he made the pot or not." from the article with the edit summary "no info in the ref about how Ronnie potted the last black". However, the BBC ref says "Referee Jan Verhaas persuaded O'Sullivan to finish the break and he duly slammed in the black in nonchalant fashion." Did you reads the source before the removed that material? Christopher Connor (talk) 21:44, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, i have read it. Maybe the edit summary was not precise enough. Have corrected the text. Armbrust  <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Talk  <sub style="color:#008000;">Contribs  21:49, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Invite to DRV
An AFD you slightly participated in, by relisting, (Articles_for_deletion/Tony_Sokol), is at DRV here. It would be interesting to see your thoughts on it. Thanks, Bigger digger (talk) 00:57, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Request for Admin?
I am going to nominate you for this position of trust on here because I believe you merit the responsibility. I have always loved working with you on tennis articles in order to make wikipedia a better place. Plus, you are already doing admin duties on deletion stuff. Just give me a simple yes or no back to let me know if you want me to proceed with this nomination. Have a nice day good friend! BLUE <sub style="color:#FF0000;">DOG TN 05:42, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Being a man
I'm going to leave World Open alone, but you can't go against what we all saw. It's like seeing the FA cup drawn and see it come out as Man U v Arsenal and then suddenly saying that Arsenal are the home team. It's wrong. Even the BBC are reporting the way they drew it. Just next time show some maturity and be a man. KnowIG (talk) 19:50, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The World Snooker draw and the Global Snooker results page (used as references) displays the matches as they are. An editors eye-view does not qualify as a reliable source and every user who will to check the article will see, that the order of the names is correct. Be a man and accept, that the sources say otherwise as you have seen. By the way there is no home team and BBC has only provided coverage for the draw and it was made by World Snooker.

Your RfA
H Armbrust! I see there was a failed attempt  by  an  inexperienced editor to  close your RfA. I have !voted 'oppose' but  please do  not  take it  personally. However, it does look as if there are going  to  be a lot  of pile-on oppose !votes, and I'm  wondering  if you  think  it's worth  going  through  with  it  this time. If you don't want  to  consider withdrawing and still  prefer  the process to  run its full  seven days, I commend you  on  your courage. You can be sure that  if you  follow up  on  the points given in  the opposers' comments, I  would certainly be ready  to  support you  on your next  RfA; Kind regards, --Kudpung (talk) 04:31, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I would agree with Kudpung, and recommend that you withdraw your RfA. You are of course within your rights to keep it open, but I think the wisest choice at this point would be to withdraw - there is no shame in this, in fact many people would have respect for you. I chose to stay neutral rather than oppose (hence my short statement) as I felt that there was no need to record an oppose when you were running at 25% support.

I will be making this October 1, 2010 at 4:00 UTC the last time you'll ever see me on here! I will miss all the times we've had together, but I believe it is best that I move on from wikipedia forever. I consider you a friend, which if I am ever in Hungary, I will look you up and track you down and we'll go eat some Hungarian food. May your editing yoke be light, which I do believe if you work on the comments on your RFA you will be an Admin one day, I used to have a bigger passion for this place, but I have grown tremendously weary, which means I must go forever. May you have Faith, Hope, Love, and Peace, but the greatest of these is LOVE. Have a great editing time on wikipedia. I will ask an admin to block my accounts at the time specified. You will be counted as a friend forever. BLUE <sub style="color:#FF0000;">DOG TN 04:48, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

Where is the data for the table compiled from. I updated one row yesterday, but it was undone and a comment was left that I should update the entire table.

inre Show Cats: The Standard of Perfection AfD
I was able to find the sources the nominator could not... and I do not doubt that he did try. Starting with discovering a full-length review of this film in The New York Times, it was an easy job after that. If you might revisit the article, you will see that what was sent to AFD as mediocre stub,this has now become THIS... a decently encyclopedic and well-sourced Start-Class article that is now worthy of inclusion within these pages. It might not have before... but it now passes WP:NF. And yes... I even surprised myself with this one.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:23, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
