2006 Gator Bowl
Did I do a N:POV job covering Louisville aspects of the game in the article? I'm a Tech grad, so it can be tough at times. If there's anything bugging you, let me know, and I'll try to fit it in or tell you why I did it a certain way. JKBrooks85 (talk) 09:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Independent cities in Virginia
Thanks for pointing out the independent cities in the OmniRide article and about CUE being the city of Fairfax not Fairfax County in Metrorail (Washington, D.C.). As someone who spent fifteen years in Virginia, I understand and appreciate the effort you're putting in, because it's an important distinction, with cities NOT being part of their surrounding counties. Outside of Virginia, people don't seem to quite get it, and even in Virginia, a lot of people don't seem to understand it. So thanks for putting in the effort to keep Virginia's unique treatment of municipalities accurate. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Pre-1972 sound recordings
Have a source for February 15, 2067. I thought sound recordings were subject to the same rules as any other medium, in terms of copyright expiration. &mdash; Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:02, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Not sound recordings created before February 15 1972, the effective date of the Sound Recording Amendment of 1972. Before the Amendment, sound recordings were not considered copyrightable under federal law. Instead, sound recordings were subject to various state torts and statutes, some of which had no limit of duration. When the Amendment was enacted, Congress mandated that pre-1972 recordings would remain subject to state or common law copyright until February 15 2047. The Copyright Term Extension Act extended that date to 2067. See United States copyright law, especially the last paragraph, and sources in that section. — Dale Arnett (talk) 22:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

U17 Women's World Cup
Kia Ora Dale, thanks for your contribution to the aforementioned article. Just wanted to let you know I've tweaked your recent edit - not as a revert but more of a compromise per se. I've outlined my reasoning on the talk page. Cheers :) Gialloneri (talk) 02:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Template
I saw your message at Template talk:Horseracing personalities infobox. I have no skills, but think someone should adjust the Template to allow the death place. It seems to me that the problem with existing ones could be resolved if the death place was optional as I've seen done with various items in other bio boxes.

Courts of the United States
Hey Dale - I see you're mostly doing sports-related work now, but if you're interested in helping me plow through a thankless task, I'm workingon adding external links to all the courts at Courts of the United States (preferably to official court cites). If I could get a handful of folks such as yourself to look up and add a handful of links, that would bring the job to a quick close and I could proceed with my plan to submit it for featured list consideration.

List of sportspeople by nickname
Hey Dale,

I saw you've started changing "U.S." by American in the abovementioned page. What's your rationale? I do think "U.S." is more specific, and changing all mentions could prove unnecessarily burdensome. Mrbluesky (talk) 17:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Template:Culture of Oceania
Hi, The template name is broader than the template's subtitle, "Culture of Indigenous Oceania" but the template links to pages about indigenous culture. I can appreciate the enthusiasm of wanting to add the link to the Haka of the All Blacks to the template, because Rugby has been very successfully adopted by some indigenous people, and made more interesting by things like the All Blacks' haka. I don't think it is part of the Maori indigenous culture, though, do you?.

Previously, I had the haka link go to Haka (disambiguation) because that page shows not only a link to Haka of the All Blacks but also shows links to four other haka (indigenous dance) pages. I settled on the existing link to Haka because it includes a page-top link to the disambiguation page which shows all of the other hakas, and the Haka section includes the Haka of the All Blacks. Don't you think that the Haka of the All Blacks is a stretch to include in a template on indigenous oceanian culture? Thank you for your thought and enthusiasm.

 * Come to think of it, could be. If you want to revert it, be my guest. :)  — Dale Arnett (talk) 01:42, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Ricky Rubio page vandalism
Are you an admin or mod? If not can you tell me who is in the basketball project? Because the Ricky Rubio page is being vandalized on a daily basis and I am really getting sick of having to deal with it. Someone needs to ban all the vandals that are wrecking that page. I don't have the time to keep fixing it and nothing is being done about it.

For this fix. I made that template late last night and when I double-checked myself to see if the abbreviations were correct, I must have glanced over Kansas. -Jrcla2 (talk)(contribs) 19:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

2008-09 Heineken Cup: Why is Edinburgh eliminated?
They can win ther last match with bonus point and get to 15 points, the same as Leicester and Bath, currently the best 2 teams in second place. So why are they marked in red?--Nitsansh (talk) 00:34, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not the one who marked them in red. I'll look into their situation. — Dale Arnett (talk) 01:11, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * My take on the situation: You are right that they can get to 15 points, and I've removed the red... at least for now. However:
 * If both Leicester and Bath pick up so much as a bonus point in their remaining matches, Edinburgh are out.
 * Also, Clermont and Sale will play in the last round. At least one of the teams will get to 15 points regardless of the result, and there's a very unlikely scenario where both will get to 15. Clermont can max out at 18, and Sale can max out at 16.
 * So, although Edinburgh aren't eliminated yet, their chances are on life support. — Dale Arnett (talk) 01:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I looked back in history and it appears they were "eliminated" allready after the previous round of matches... I knew you were not responsible but thought you might know... I don't know the tie break rules for best runners-up so I thought there could be some reason... but since there's no possibility of head-to-head comparison it must be something like points-difference or number of ties, and therefor mathematically any team capable of getting into a tie for second place is still alive...

Also... I find it confusing that all teams in first place and the two best runners-up are marked in green and blue, even though currently only one team has secured a place in the quarterfinals... the common practice that I know of is to mark teams in various colours only if they secured qualification/elimination etc...--Nitsansh (talk) 02:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Country 3-letter codes
Hi Dale

I've noticed that you have a habit of changing country codes from those used by sports organizations and various news agencies to codes used by I-have-no-idea-who... for example: SUI to CHE, GER to DEU, GRE to GRC etc... what's the problem... the templates yield the same results anyway...--Nitsansh (talk) 16:39, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Tennis tie break scores format
What makes you state that "the normal format is to present the loser score only"... is it a rule of tennis?--Nitsansh (talk) 16:44, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not a rule... but at least in the States, every sports media outlet I've seen lists tiebreak scores with the loser's score only, because the winner's score can be implied. If the loser's score is 5 or less, the winner's score is ALWAYS 7. If the loser's score is 6 or more, the winner's score is 2 more than the loser's. — Dale Arnett (talk) 17:41, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well... the source which uses the format 7-6(7/5) rather than 7-6(5) is a rather credible one... the IOC website...--Nitsansh (talk) 03:10, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
