Howdy. With the announcement that next year the WFTDA will be eschewing Regions in favor of a top-40 ranking system, it strikes me that the current system of regional ranking tables will be obsolete. You're one of the few people that edits roller derby articles with any frequency, so I thought I'd raise this with you. (Past attempts at organizing consensus on derby things have been met with silence.) Mu thought is that it will be worth keeping the old ranking tables in league articles to show historical value, and add new sections for the new methodology going forward. WFTDA Region articles will also be kept I guess, changing the "ares" to "weres", etc. Regional tournaments will be replaced by non-region-specific tournaments, and as such, I don;t foresee new playoff tournaments getting separate articles; but there would, in my mind, be a new article each year for that year's playoffs, which would cover the 4 tournaments. Such as "2013 WFTDA Playoffs". Thoughts? Echoedmyron (talk) 21:05, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good plan to me, although I don't know exactly how the ranking will work - it's implied that there will be divisional rankings, but I'm not sure whether the might also be some regional rankings. Warofdreams talk 22:27, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This just in! [1] Echoedmyron (talk) 21:39, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - looks like no more regions. Warofdreams talk 23:46, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, another editor - I think someone with a WFTDA affiliation - has posed the question about how to handle the rankings changes going forward: [2]. Thought I'd give you a headsup if you hadn't seen that yet. Echoedmyron (talk) 15:42, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So I had a little brainstorm today, and came up with a simple way to update the rankings tables in league articles going forward. See here: [3] Adding the region shortform suffix to the Q4 ranking when leagues were ranked regionally makes the distinction between former ranking systems and current. We may have to simply retitle the "Regional" column as "Playoffs", and not sure if it is viable to have articles for D1 and D2 tournaments going forward, since there's so many. What do you think? Echoedmyron (talk) 23:51, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And further, here's how I updated the table for Toronto, linking the former NC playoffs for the DNQs in 2011 and 2012, and changing the column header to "Playoffs": [4] Opinions? Echoedmyron (talk) 00:13, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Following the drama at BN, I'm trying to come up with a statement all Crats could agree to. Please take a look, below. I am quite content to do this onwiki -we have always worked transparently, except where secrecy is essential (ie RTV). I think we should be able to wordsmith a statement acceptable to all, and I think it's an important thing to do.

1. In my opinion, this issue has come about through an unfortunate proliferation of documentation: policy, guideline, how-to etc
2. I am not convinced that there is community consensus on all of the points encapsulated in those various pages
3. I am unhappy at what may be described as some or all of: inconsistencies, inaccuracies or lack of clarity in that documentation
4. I do not believe that any of the issues we have faced have been caused by Crats trying to widen their powers
5. I would like to see the issues clarified, based on consensus, and for the documentation to be updated accordingly
6. I'd like to thank Griot-de for generously withdrawing the rename request

Good afternoon! You uploaded - in 2009 - a few images to uk.wikimedia.org, such as this one. We're trying to track down the copyright status so that we can upload them to Commons. Are you able to clarify for us?

Hiya this page here gives the viaduct in S6 with a postcode of S6 1RH. However I've got no problem as I suspect the boundary goes right along the railway line on the top of the viaduct. Thanks Mick Knapton (talk) 18:44, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Leave it in S5, but its up to you. Nice work, looking forward to Listed Buildings in S11, will always add photos and entries when I can. Mick Knapton (talk) 22:37, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Fouta Djallon, has been proposed to be moved to either Futa Jalon or Futa Jallon. If you are interested in this discussion, please participate by going to the disussion page and adding your comments. Thank you.--A12n (talk) 03:43, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am contacting you because you have participated in prior discussions at the above article, and it would be appreciated if you gave your views on an current dispute. One editor wants to add a gallery of images for people who declined to stand for the leadership. Another editor objects on the grounds that doing so puts undue weight on the people who did not participate. -Rrius (talk) 14:22, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thanks for the compliment. Yes, I'd like to think we could finish all the photos for S6 some time soon, although there are usually certain ones that are difficult to find, difficult to photograph or just private (I did manage to find the Magazine at Hillsborough Barracks when on a shopping trip to Morrisons !!) but I'll see how it goes. I was out Fulwood the other day and can add some for S10 including the church, war memorial, cottages on Fulwood Road in the next few days. Also planning an article for Christ Church at Fulwood.

Hi Warofdreams. The UK is participating in Wiki Loves Monuments for the first time this year, and the preparation involves updating the lists of listed buildings so they're complete and use templates that fit with the upload tools. You did great work on

Thanks very much, I'll sort something out over the next few days. I hadn't seen the list for Sheffield City Centre etc. It may be that in the short term we don't need to update those lists and people may stick to the counties, but we'll see how it goes.

Looks good! The Rotherham Minster image is by Doncaster Minster instead, but that's a minor detail - in all other respects, I'm happy! Warofdreams talk 20:34, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, I've moved the list over to the main space.
