There are many reasons why the "X County, State" convention is used in the United States. Did you attempt to gain any kind of consensus for all these moves through discussion? It's been discussed before, at length. Mass-moving articles against consensus is disruptive. Omnedon (talk) 01:38, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

- "Comma-City" is the appropriate disambiguator if the topic is a neighborhood within a city; "comma-state" is appropriate if the topic is a city or town in its own right. "White City, Tulsa" thus isn't in any conflict with what Prisencolinensinainciusol did — I'm not going to offer an opinion one way or the other on the appropriateness of the page moves, but a neighborhood within Tulsa doesn't have anything to do with the question one way or the other. Bearcat (talk) 20:53, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- ...which is why I was questioning the moves. Neighborhoods are not the same as counties or populated places in terms of naming conventions. Where is it stated that "Comma-City" is appropriate for neighborhoods within a city? Having said that -- I'm not particularly invested in neighborhood articles. It's just that these moves follow the pattern of a previous set of moves, most of which I had to spend time to revert. Omnedon (talk) 20:58, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

- This is the point I'm trying to make. You say you are fixing the articles; but you're not using any guideline or discussion to support that.

The University of North Dakota has no team name. It matters not whether it is "official" or not, the school's athletic teams have no team name. One could claim that the decision of the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education ordering the University's discontinuation of the Fighting Sioux nickname made the lack of a nickname "official." However, this order came only after decades of controversy, a state-wide vote favoring the elimination of the nickname, and the threat of sanctions from the NCAA. Whatever the case, just as in real life, the issue here in the Wikipedia has fairly well been beaten to death. There was much discussion and cross-editing at the time of the matter, and the conclusion was long ago reached that the only necessary fact is that the University of North Dakota has no team name. (In case you are wondering, I had no part in those discussions and only became aware of them after I used the phrase, "no official nickname" and was informed by two different parties that all that need be said is that the University of North Dakota has no team name. ) GWFrog (talk) 02:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 September newsletter
The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.
In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far Casliber (submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was Coemgenus (submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.
The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
- Cas Liber (submissions), who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
- Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points), second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
- Cwmhiraeth (submissions), first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany. Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
- Harrias (submissions), second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
- West Virginian (submissions), from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
- Rodw (submissions), from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
- Rationalobserver (submissions), from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
- Calvin999 (submissions), also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.
The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.
Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

So we need to create the links, which I started and then almost immediately had that content deleted. I had it restored to:
- User:Trackinfo/District 8-5A (LHSAA)
- User:Trackinfo/District 7-5A (LHSAA)
- User:Trackinfo/District 6-5A (LHSAA)
- User:Trackinfo/District 5-5A (LHSAA)
- User:Trackinfo/District 3-5A (LHSAA)
I'll put those back when they have some additional sources. I guess District 4 will be a good guinea pig to see how much of a fight we have on our hands. By the way, in that process I discovered somebody else had already created all or many of the links, so it was a wholesale effort to wipe all of that person's work out that turned those links red. Whoever this deletionist faction is, they are trying to establish a precedent to wipe out all of this kind of content, which might eventually include all the other content you and I have already created. We need to establish the opposite precedent that there is significant coverage for all of this content. That it is notable. Mappers is very useful to getting the league structure correct and sourced. Now the question upon us is to find journalistic coverage of these leagues. I'd rather not spend my time googling every league in the US but until they stop successfully deleting this kind of content, we will have to keep slapping them in the face with the coverage that is there.

- Since I wrote to you earlier, District 4 was deleted and I had to complain to get it restored. I'm writing an essay at User:Trackinfo/sandbox/NHSL and you are welcome to contribute. Trackinfo (talk) 02:00, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- Can you link me some of the AFDs, this is a bit much to take in at once.--Prisencolin (talk) 04:44, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- None of these got an AfD. They all got the speedy treatment. I am the only one arguing the Keep side of the case vs a bunch of reflexive delete A7 actions. I still do not know who created this sequence of articles. If it was not you, I hope it was a local who might have the important local knowledge to make these articles into indisputable Keeps. Trackinfo (talk) 06:11, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- I think the best case for these to be kept would be for them to all be in a large article called list of LHSAA districts or something. I'll see if I can dig them up some of the local print sources out there.--Prisencolin (talk) 02:11, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

- I removed the tag because clearly this isn't a candidate for speedy deletion. I'm going to replace it with a regular AFD.--Prisencolin (talk) 03:26, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Dice (disambiguation), you may be blocked from editing. disrupting dab page, and mainly I agree with other editor above - do not remove CSD from own article. Now would be a time to pause and reflect. Widefox; talk 12:09, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Dice (disambiguation) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Disruptive editing on Dice (disambiguation). [6] broke one entry. Please revert yourself and I will fix the entry you're concerned about. Widefox; talk 22:23, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
