2006 US Open
Hey, I currently don't have an internet connection at home, so it's going to be a little tough for me to do this. Do you know any scripting languages? If so, I'd scrape [http://tenniscorner.net/index.php?corner=M&tourid=20060828FLU&drawtype=M&action=draw tenniscorner.net]. If you don't, I can try to whip something up this afternoon. --Dantheox 17:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
: OK, I'm on it. --Dantheox 18:02, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
:: Check out 2006 US Open - Men's Singles. It's not totally fleshed out, but there's enough there that people should just have to fill in the blanks once results start coming in tomorrow. --Dantheox 18:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC) Also, 2006 US Open - Women's Singles. --Dantheox 19:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Template previews
If you want to play around with templates, it's probably best to do that in your user space. If you make a User:MC Snowy/Bracket page, then you can include it in any other page with

Wikiproject Album spectrum vote update.
Hello,
This is to inform you that the recent vote to update the spectrum used for album infoboxes passed. However, there are some follow-on discussions to fine tune one or two of the categories. Any constructive feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated. --Cheers, Folajimi (leave a note) 13:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
== Need help with keeping the Wikipedia article that compiles all the Grand Slam performance timelines ==
Hello MC Snowy: If you're interested in keeping the performance timeline comparison tables as a Wikipedia article, then please make your opinion known at the articles for deletion discussion here. Thanks! Tennis expert 22:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Toronto Raptors
Hi there, the Toronto Raptors article is undergoing a FA nomination [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Toronto_Raptors here], so all comments and feedback are welcome. I dropped this message because you indicate that you're a Raps fan! Thanks, Chensiyuan 15:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Please explain your changes
Hello, you have been making some changes to high-use templates, but have provided no explanation for your changes. At a minimum, please provide an edit summary so that other editors can understand why you made your changes. Thanks, Andrwsc 16:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
:On a similar note, can you please use a sandbox or ask someone to help when you experiment directly in the main template space? Your changes are frequently quite disruptive! If you don't know what the effects of your changes will be, please don't modify templates just to see what happens. Thanks, Andrwsc 03:55, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
::Sorry about that! —MC 14:50, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thanks for the barnstar for my template work! I guess the ex-software engineer in me just had to do something about thousands of redundant flag templates on Wikipedia... ;) I'm almost finished with football, and as you've probably noticed, I've got a few other sports lined up next. Andrwsc 19:41, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

French Championships, pre-1925
A search of the historical record finds that Fyunclick is wrong. In fact, the first winner of the French championships in 1891 was...an Englishman! And Englishmen also made the final in 1892 and 1897. Clearly, the idea that foreigners were 'excluded' from pre-1925 tournaments is fallacious:
http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-french-men-s-singles-champions-and-finalists
Repeating false 'history' doesn't make it true. Since the premise of Fyunclick's argument is lost, he should give up trying to 'exclude' others and end his discriminatory campaign.
After all, do we really believe that Wimbledon in 1877 (13 players entered) is in any way comparable to today's tournaments, where there are 128 male and 128 female singles players, not to mention doubles? These lists are more for historical purposes than for 'slam-counting' purposes. Let's not forget that the early players were at a decided disadvantage...after all, how can you play in the Australian Open in 1903 when it doesn't exist yet?Ryoung122 08:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

If you have much more than 500+ please don't be offended; I am thinking about

- The Wikipedian's Chain Barnstar of Honour: 5000+

As you may have noticed, we are now doing themed newsletters. This one (if you haven't already guessed) is How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. Every month the newsletter will have a different theme. There will also be a special edition when the new album is released. Also thanks to Neranei for some of the U2 news. ;New Members We have two new members since the start of the month! They are Vero444 and MC. We now have 38 members! ; The Album
More info from the album page here. ; Corrections Last month's newsletter incorrectly stated that there were 34 members. This should've been 36. Also, under the "U2 News" section, line 3, instead of saying most recent single it should've said most recent song (this has since been corrected). The editors sincerely apologize for any misunderstandings this may have caused. The correct version of the July newsletter can be found here. ; IMPORTANT NOTICE All members of the U2 Wikiproject please note that voting for the next collaboration of the fortnight starts on THE 12TH OF AUGUST. Please visit the collaboration department for more details. |
