John Cornish
I understand you are contemplating John Cornish for deletion. I respectfully ask you keep his name on wikipedia. He and Donn Draeger were the first westerners to open the All Japan Games, the Industrial Games and even opened the Olympics. He is renowned as one of the leading experts in the world on judo kata and was the first British person to be awarded a dan grade in aikido by O'Sensei himself!

I am James Wyatt a member of the Budokwai, which is the oldest dojo in Europe and where John Cornish has been practising since the early 1950s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Budokwai Aikidoka (talk • contribs) 20:32, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

A brief reflection
Hello Nate, the saying 'it is easier to destroy than to build' has come to mind often during the past few months of working on Wikipedia. The silver lining to that cloud is that I've been encouraged to spend more time on what I consider to be profitable, and less time on what others seem to consider to be profitable. Just a brief reflection, to a fellow builder. Janggeom (talk) 16:33, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your note and suggestion about AWB; although I do work in bursts at times, I'm probably closer to the tortoise than the hare. Janggeom (talk) 13:31, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Unifight
Hello, you put a tag on Unifight page. I do not understand why, I already have a discussion about notability, about references. Please remove this tag or tell me what exactly you need. Simone Nicolescot (talk) 17:07, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello, you put some tags on Unifight section, like : I will, once again, remove this tags. It is a neutral description, not an advert at all. I am not agree to see this tags on this page, and I am available for dicussion on the discussion page, but not to see this tags without any explanation and discussion. At least, explain please the problem, I do not understand what exactely you do not agree. Please, if you want to improve you are welcome, but don′t put any tags without a discussion. Thank tou, --Simone Nicolescot (talk) 13:29, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

I still not understand how I can make better this section. Ok, I understand the tags in the bottom will help to improve this section, I hope that in a short time many users who know this subject will improve. About links in unifight web sites, this is not spam at all, it is normally that European Federation have a link to International federation and vice versa. About neutrality, I do not understand the problem. I register in Wikipedia with my real name, I used to be sportman (http://www.financiarul.ro/2009/03/17/romania-participates-in-world-championships-of-winter-unifight/, http://www.sptfm.ro/sport-extrem/romania_la_cm_de_unifight_de_iarna.html), referee and president of unifight federation little time ago (http://www.unifight.fr/index.php?page=viewpage&id=7). I did this section on Wikipedia for INFORM about unifight, not for make any promotion. We do not sell anything, we organize championships and make sport. The information on International website is not the same that in European website, who contains much more medias. In French website the information is available in french language. So, I put this links back in the section external links, because I consider that Wikipedia are to offer a complete information, as an encyclopedy. Last thing : I am a french speaker, it is more convenient for me to speak french, and my english is summary, for further explanations I would like to speak french. Is it possible ? Thank you, --Simone Nicolescot (talk) 18:57, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

So, we will try to understand each other with my bad english. I saw you read my message, and the tag about neutrality is still on the page. I do not understand at all how is possible to see my work (and it was work, belive me) disfigured like this. What means „This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality”. By who ? Why ? And WHERE is the discussion page where I can found the discussion of this nomination ? This page do not exist. I will remove the tag about neutrality, because I do not see any discussion page, and I give you in my message enough explanantions about me. In unifight, we make sport, we have no conflicts, so what means neutrality ? I just describe history of funifight, the technique and the competition, with sources of course. You can do this being more neutral that I was ? Be my guest ... Sincerelly, in my vision, contribute to Wikipedia and improve an article not means put tags on the page. Once more, if you want to improve and KNOW something about unifight, you are welcome, but not like this, just putting tags in the bottom of the page. --Simone Nicolescot (talk) 14:55, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Martial Arts Barnstar code
Hello Nate, I noticed that you fixed the date substitution code for the MA Barnstar; I'd tried solving that problem last year, but ended up just adding a field for people to manually enter the date. Thanks for your good work on fixing the code. Janggeom (talk) 07:09, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

CUBC
You may wish to reconsider your edit summary for your most recent edit to Cambridge University Boat Club. You said "... racing OUBC is not it's 'primary purpose' ", but the CUBC website confirms that "Winning the annual Boat Race against Oxford remains the Club’s sole constitutional objective." If you were thinking of college rowing, that is run by CUCBC, not CUBC. David Biddulph (talk) 12:28, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Default sort caps changes
Hello! As you may have noticed, sorting is case sensitive by default, and "UFC" would by itself precede e.g. "Uaa", which would not be correct. The usual way around this is to provide a DEFAULTSORT field where initial letters in the title are uppercase and all other letters are lowercase - also, with punctuation stripped from the original title. Actually my primary motivation was getting the numerical ordering right, and putting "Ufc" is just applying an additional guideline from WP:SORTKEY. GregorB (talk) 14:34, 5 July 2010 (UTC)


 * In fact, you've actually raised a very good point: I should have explicitly referred to WP:SORTKEY in my edit summaries, since all this is not exactly obvious. Doing it from now on. GregorB (talk) 18:44, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Ref Lembit Opik
If you had to live in his constituency (as I do) and put up with his endless seeking of 'celebrity' - as opposed to working hard as an MP - you would get pretty hacked off. Especially if you were (as I am) a life-long Liberal supporter and voter.

It may have escaped your attention but the leader of the Welsh Lib Dems got pretty fed up with him. Come and spend some time in Newtown and ask a few questions about Mr O.

By all means continue to paint a rosy picture on Wiki but there are some who are rather closer to the truth.

And don't threaten me with being banned from Wiki.

The very nature of Wiki means anyone can edit or delete material, nothing is sacrosanct.

Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Accurate123 (talk • contribs) 16:58, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Concerns about a new article
Hi,

I recently noticed some edits on a watched page that lead me to notice a new page that I had some concerns about. You can take a look at it here: Grappling (martial art), and see my listed concerns on the talk page. I've never really been up on the specific lingo of the policies of wikipedia, but I'm pretty sure there are some problems. If you have any tips as to how to go about addressing the article, I'd love to hear them. The whole thing reminds me a bit too much of that crazy guy who kept making alternative articles to the main BJJ one and loads of sockpuppets to put his alternative history down and mention himself as a famous practitioner - remember him? Anyway, if you have the time to take a look, it'd be appreciated. FlowWTG (talk) 03:17, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
