[edit] Davis Cup/Tennis Match templates
Hi, I think there's something wrong with either Template:DavisCupbox or Template:TennisMatch. The player's names don't show up. I poked around in them, but I couldn't see anything obvious (but then again, I didn't understand it really well). It would be a great tool if you can get it working again. Thanks! Chris 08:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks! You speak Wiki very well, so that's all that matters ;) Chris 23:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I haven't been creating many new pages lately, but I'm using it where I can. One problem I've run into is that if you can't use a different link for a name (like Charles Dixon (tennis player) instead of just Charles Dixon). I found a work-around for team names (ie. USSR links to the Russian team page), but not for players. Another thing I noticed when doing 1920 International Lawn Tennis Challenge is that if there's a 6-0 set, it doesn't display.
If you want to create some pages, just pick a year and go for it. I've got a few bracket templates at Category:WikiProject Tennis Templates and have added more team templates (Category:Davis Cup team templates). I'll be glad to have some help. Chris 02:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for making those changes. I think the box will work for everything now. Chris 02:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, it should work for walkovers, not played, and when there's no results. It works for most cases of retirements and not completed, except if it goes into a fifth set. There's no place to put anything extra (beyond the 5 sets), so I don't know how that should be handled. I also noticed that if a match ends with a tied set (it happened in 1900), team 2's score is in bold. It will probably work for 98% of the ties we run into. I can't think of another situation we would find. Chris 04:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Davis Cup names
Without the dash looks better to me. Chris 07:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I think having the draw on the main page presents the information a little better. It's easier to follow someone's path through the tournament with it. It doesn't remove any info, and it also takes up a little less space. Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 02:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Templates
What changes would you make? --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 06:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh! I misunderstood you the first time. Yes, I saw the changes, and they seem they work great. I can't think of any other situations that need to be covered. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 07:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:2007 IIHF World Championship.png
Thanks for uploading Image:2007 IIHF World Championship.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] Having your own page deleted
If you create a page, and before anyone else edits it you decide to have it deleted, like what seems to have happened with Category:IIHF Championships 2007, please put a {{db-self}} at the top of the page, in stead of blanking it. This will attract an administrator to it to have it deleted. I've marked this one for you - since you blanked it, that's enough. Od Mishehu 04:25, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your changes to Template:8TeamBracket-Tennis3
Could you please explain your changes? There was nothing on the talk page, nor even an edit summary. I have recerted these changes, as they break several pages that depend on the pre-existing behaviour. Andrwsc 16:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- It seems as though you want to show empty seed boxes for empty brackets. That is easily accomplished with the existing template by setting the seed to a space. For example, if you don't want seeds at all, specify nothing (like
RD1-seed01=). If you want an empty box, specify a space (likeRD1-seed01= . This template supports both kinds of brackets (seeded and unseeded) — you just tell it what you want. Hope this helps, Andrwsc 17:13, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FIFA U-20 World Cup Canada 2007
Thanks for correcting the match times! I didn't realize that PST also had daylight-saving time. Parutakupiu talk || contribs 23:04, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wimbledon 2007, Jankovic/Murray
Can I just ask why you switched Murray and Jankovic round. Seems unimportant, which is why I'm so baffled as to why you bothered. JimmyMac82 12:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmm a reply of some kind would have been nice. How rude!JimmyMac82 21:18, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Added size to Template:fb-big
When I went through all the articles where {{fb-big}} could be used, I didn't see any single instance where anything other than ~30 pixels was specified. Therefore, I thought it better for consistency to take that parameter out, so that divergent page formats would develop. Do you have a particular reason for adding it back? Thanks, Andrwsc 09:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I just saw your Template:winners, and I presume that's what you intended for the size parameter for fb-big. I think that's a really good idea, so please be WP:BOLD and go ahead with installing and using that on football tournament pages if you wish! Andrwsc 11:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 2007 AFC Asian Cup attendance
Hi, for some reason the attendance figures you added to 2007 AFC Asian Cup were too high, by about 30 million people! I've rechecked the total and adjusted the figure. --Canley 22:03, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TfD nomination of Template:Fb-winners
Thanks very much for creating Template:Fb-winners (originally named Template:Winners) — it was a very good idea! However, it has now been superseded by a parameterised version, Template:Winners, which can be used for several different sports, so I have now nominated it for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thanks, again! — StuartBrady (Talk) 17:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 2007 Tennis Masters Cup
Please stop reverting 2007 Tennis Masters Cup. You haven't provided a sound counter-argument. ☆ CieloEstrellado 12:10, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Please elaborate on your argument. If you read the rules carefully and then follow my example, when three players are tied 2-1 in W-L matches, the next tie-breaker is highest percentage of sets won, then the next tie-breaker is highest percentage of games won, and then, finally, head-to-head results if two players are tied in percentage of games won. ☆ CieloEstrellado 12:56, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please..
Can you make the spanish version of Template:ClubWCRound7 just like you fixed this one?
You can see it in the "other languages" section of it, or just enter here: Plantilla:Copa de 7 and go to "Editar".
The only difference I would like between the english version, is that the play-off (called Eliminación in spanish) bracket should be linked with the inferior quarterfinals (called Cuartos de Final) bracket (in the way it is now) and not with the one from the top like it is in the english version (or I would just do Copy & Paste, but I don't think that is exactly the way it is).
Well, thank you a lot from now!--'Ville.09 (talk) 04:46, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Were you the one who fixed it? Well, it's ok, but the way I say before. Eliminación shouldn't be in the top in the template. I mean if you can make it like this--'Ville.09 (talk) 13:09, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hey it's really cool! If there is anything I can help you, just ask me! I'll do my best! ¡Wikipedia en español te lo agradece!--'Ville.09 (talk) 22:09, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Squads
Why did you revert my addition of a red link to squads for the women's Olympics basketball tournament 2008 as if it were vandalism?--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 16:05, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
