Darts in P:CE/S
Hi Steve and happy christmas!

Do you think we should have all World Championship scores in the portal, starting from preliminary round?? Was that the practice in such previous events?--Nitsansh (talk) 03:55, 24 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Ahem! (points discouragingly at my signature!) I must say, I don't ever remember preliminary games getting shown, but anything goes on there at present it seems... Craig  (talk)  06:32, 24 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not familiar with darts championships vocabulary... is preliminary round an equivalent to qualifying in tennis, for example, or considered part of the tournament proper? Anyway, I doubt that even the first round, which is the round of 64 (similar to second round in grand-slams), should be reported in full... and I'm not even discussing the importance of a sport which is hardly spread outside the UK...--Nitsansh (talk) 13:16, 24 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Considered part of the tournament. Qualifying took place a month or so ago. I think only the latter stages should be reported in such a way. Craig  (talk)  18:58, 24 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you want to go to "war" about it?--Nitsansh (talk) 23:53, 24 December 2011 (UTC)


 * There should be no requisite need for a war. Oh, and on the references point, we should do so where necessary. Not overblowing it. Craig  (talk)  01:19, 25 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Maybe I wasn't clear enough... I mean that you and I delete the part of the tournament we consider non-notable... the question is how and where to draw the line... if we take tennis for example, the current policy is to list top-10 seeds only for the early rounds, and all matches from the top-16 onwards... in my opinion, darts deserve much less than that, and certainly not more... by my own yardstick, darts is no more important than badminton or table-tennis, in which only final matches are listed, but English people (and maybe Scottish too...) might see it otherwise...
 * And on the reference issue... how do you define "necessary"?--Nitsansh (talk) 06:38, 25 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Darts really only deserves the final, if I'm honest. By necessary, I mean, where say "team has won the title for the xth time", we reference it. Nothing too dramatic. Craig  (talk)  13:16, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited 2011–12 Tour de Ski, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oberhof (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Re:Portal
It's Craig. Not Steve. Not Chris. Oh, and I have more important things to do on here, than the portal at present. Craig (talk)  17:08, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh no, it's nothing to do with that. The important things related to the movement of cycling teams for WP:CYCLING, and considering that there is over 150 teams with licences and many with pages here, that's taken up most of January and I've still got around 30 to do. I don't see it lasting any further than the end of the weekend, so probably back to the portal start of next week, I presume. Craig  (talk)  14:22, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh... that's great news!! When you come back, unless someone else does that, I suggest that you fill the many missing results on the second half of January... I never have the time to do all the scores on weekends... at least I had all the events from the sidebar listed on each day just before they were deleted...--Nitsansh (talk) 15:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Might be the whole of January to double check; lots of empty spaces. I'll probably just stick the results in, rather than waste added time looking for references. Just to save time mainly. Mind you, I might be free quicker; I appear to have gone through half the outstanding teams today alone...that's unknowing progress, haha! Craig  (talk)  22:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If I recall correctly, I checked the first half before I archived it and there were no missing results, but if you have the time, I don't mind if you check again... I would suggest that you don't spend too much time on references for last month, unless you have too much spare time. I went through the second half and found missing results mainly on the weekends (inc. Fridays). It's mostly winter sports, because the little time I had was used to look after the team sports (it takes less time, you know...) but also the results of the last two days of Australian Open were missing, and that's a real shame... please note that there may be some missing rescheduled World Cups not listed. Also, the Test matches with missing results may have ended a day (or even two) earlier. Starting from last month, I no longer included scores at stumps and century scorers, only the final scores. Also I made a decision to include only standings in groups at the end of the group phase, and also eliminated standings of World Cups (except the final standings, or possibly earlier if the season winner is decided). These are all partial scores which don't belong in an encyclopedia.--Nitsansh (talk) 23:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah sure, I'll give it a double check. Australian Open results missing? Wow, I thought they would have gone in, just due to the sheer epicness of all the matches. I know there's definitely a few skiing races that were cancelled in January, so they can be updated accordingly, but yeah I'll give everything a look. Yeah, that's the best way to save some space; removing the partial scores. Definitely not going to hit the 300 kB size that some of the months had. Craig  (talk)  23:38, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The January page is currenty about 150K, and with all the missing results it may get close to 200KB. I think that 200KB should be the top limit. The reason I started to archive at mid-month is that "heavy" pages cause slow downloading, and that really bothered me. --Nitsansh (talk) 04:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The rescheduled races I referred to are rearanged events that were cancelled earlier this season. I think they were added on a Friday before the sceduled weekend races.--Nitsansh (talk) 04:39, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Off topic: I'm off for orienteering race shortly. That's the only reason you will see me awake at 6.30 on Saturday morning!!--Nitsansh (talk) 04:39, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Portal:Current_events/Sports
Hi, why nobody updates anymore this portal ? 93.47.103.213 (talk) 18:03, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Redirects
Any reason why you are removing the redirects on the alpine skiing at the 2012 WYOG pages? Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions  00:07, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Any reason why these redirects existed?--Nitsansh (talk) 00:09, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * They were created to add the categories talk page so it leaves time to just list the results. The same thing happened during the Pan Am Games and they helped. Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions   00:14, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * That makes false impression on numerous pages linked to non-existant pages that these pages exist.--Nitsansh (talk) 00:18, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I am pretty busy so I haven't gotten a chance to work on them (I also believed other editors would help create the articles). Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions   00:21, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears that many sports editors are absent lately...--Nitsansh (talk) 00:25, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Really unfortunate. Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions   02:38, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
