Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:57, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Outdated templates for riders and teams
Recently, a lot of outdated templates for cycling teams and riders have been nominated for deletion and merger with the year-article (for example: List of 2014 UCI ProTeams and riders). As I do not want to give you a nasty surprise, I hereby ask you to make a start with merging the outdated articles (2016 and earlier) with the relevant year-article. Is this possible any time soon?

Cycling team template
Something went very wrong here. You changed all the abbreviations in the cycling team templates in race articles from BOA to BOH for Bora-Hansgrohe (formerly Argon18). But now, Rádio Popular–Boavista is listed there, which is wrong. And changing it back to BOA does not change it. Someone really screwed up that template, I believe. Since I am not really good with that, could you take a look at it? Thanks in advance! Zwerg Nase (talk) 09:21, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I see that the problem is that BOH is still redirected to BOA... I'll try to resolve this once I get home from work. Zwerg Nase (talk) 09:49, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, sorry or the many messages, fixed it now :) Zwerg Nase (talk) 09:54, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Los Campesinos! - DTLC!.jpg

Palmares on cyclist pages
Ok I was wrong about Haut Var. But please don't undo my work on track results and they should not be seperated between road and track unless they are known for being both and have alot of results for each. ie cav, viviani etc ...not the yates for example

Also, this is correct:

Individual pursuit, National Track Championships

not National Invividual Pursuit Championships

They are not individual championships, they are races within the National Championships.

If you could change all your hard work back, that would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.
 * I actually believe there's a clearer option than both the above: National Track Championships (Individual Pursuit), this works well for multi-discipline champions, see Amalie Dideriksen. XyZAn (talk) 16:12, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

XyZAn That doesn't really fit in with every single other page. Especially the repeating of the National Track Championships National Track Championships National Track Championships etc. Once you take away that, the are pointless. The, works well, as it has up to this point with most other users using it.
 * Every single? hmm, to me it has always made more sense to display them like: [competition] [event], rather than [event] [competition] like you have done for those competitions where multiple events are run at once. This also has similarity to how World/Continental/National champions are describe by team article.
 * A good example of the non-uniformity would be to distil Chavanels palmares down to NC victories - see how silly the track championships look..

Remember to sign your comments, people. Like PC, the Dideriksen example is a bad choice, XyZAn. Example: Michael Mørkøv. Logistically, it can be used under National Track Championships, and then have all the individual events listed underneath. It does not necessitate the need for National Track Championships to be repeated each time. To PC, the move to World/National [track event] Championships was to avoid WP:SEAOFBLUE, which is obviously not set in stone. Just felt it was better to head towards that, to avoid any issues. Craig (talk)  16:40, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * , the Mørkøv example is significantly better, i'll move Dideriksen to mirror - maybe make something similar to Mørkøv the 'good example' to be used by other pages? XyZAn (talk) 16:43, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

, While I see it looks stupid under Chavanel's palmares, imagine if he was a predominantly a track rider. I think the
 * 1st MaillotFra.PNG Individual pursuit, National Track Championships

is the way to go as it is the easiest way to state what it actually is in the shortest way possible. They aren't National Pursuit Championships. If you look at it from the other angle it is the road championships that are in the wrong and should be made to look like the track events. The pages for road races and time trial should really come under one wiki title, French National Road Championships as that is how they are packaged and advertised. Under-23, Womens elite, Mens elite etc all over a week. So...
 * 1st MaillotFra.PNG Road race, National Road Championships
 * 1st MaillotFra.PNG Time trial, National Road Championships

This also fits in with the worlds that are already under the 2016 UCI Road World Championships title, with sub headings for time trial, team time trial and road race. If this makes any sense at all to anyone? Also there is a comma there so is WP:SEAOFBLUE really a problem? Parklands cobbler (Parklands cobbler), 14 February 2017 (UTC)

UAD name change
Thanks for fixing bits of the template I was either unaware of or had long forgotten when I started the update. However, I am bemused at the removal of ct|UAD2017 from the list. As I see it, this now means that every use of the template in which the 2017 stipulation is used requires the suffix "b": if it is used by somebody unaware of this, it will return a template problem message to the page, confusing readers. If we are confident that between us we have changed any uses that should carry the Abu Dhabi tag (|UAD|2107a), then why cannot |UAD|2017 (with no following letter) direct to the Team Emirates name?

Disambiguation link notification for March 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2017 UCI World Tour, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Iván García. 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.

Script modifying reference titles
Hi there, I saw your recent edits to Nicolao Dumitru and Apostolos Vellios where you replaced the dashes in reference titles using a script. I am aware that en dashes should be used for scores in Wikipedia articles but should we be changing quoted titles from sources that don’t use en dashes for scores? I was sceptical enough to revert those changes for now. Regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 22:04, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Alrighty. Thanks for the speedy reply. :-) Happy editing, Robby.is.on (talk) 22:09, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Rugby union
Hello. You're listed as "Cap" number 26 in this WikiProject. It seems that the Project's talk page is sadly neglected these days. I know little about rugby but have seen how important an active WikiProject is to getting quality information on Wikipedia by helping each other. If you don't mind the nudge (and you may be very active, I've not checked) please pop by the WikiProject talk page from time to time to reply to comments - or start your own. Cheers. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 22:32, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Minsk Cycling Club
Thanks for creating Minsk Cycling Club. I've fixed most of the incoming links to point to the men's or women's team, but one link referring to both teams remains near the bottom of 2016–17 UCI Track Cycling World Cup. Please can you divert it to an appropriate destination? Thanks, Certes (talk) 12:26, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

La course
He wolve, could you provide a reference for your statement that La Course was formally a one day race in 2017 despite having a final decision 2 days later in a different stage? Would be helpful for the article verification... L.tak (talk) 14:53, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. So that means the informal description by the organisers (speaking about 2 stages) (here, as is also the case in many newspapers. I will amend a bit taking both positions into account. L.tak (talk) 15:31, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
