Please don't remove the year links in articles such as 1996 in chess. The lead sentence in this article should link to the year. 165.189.91.148 (talk) 20:53, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Just what you need

Chris, think of all the people who've been annoying you over the past few days. I can think of one in particular. Here's the remedy. Tony (talk) 14:42, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Edits (unlinkings) to tennis articles

Thanks for letting me know. I do, in fact, already have the unlinking script, but I'd rather not get into an edit war with him. Again, thanks, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 14:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Tennis articles

That guy is really annoying. We have to bring him here : [Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]. We have to avoid 3RR with him. I nearly got block for doing such thing. So it best if an Admin take notice and bring a discussion?. What say you?. --SkyWalker (talk) 13:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Let Tennis expert stay in his bubble of non-compliance. When he tries to bring an article to GA or FA, then we can justify the delinkings (comply with MOS) without getting into a long, drawn out argument. For now IMHO, the best bet is to let him relink the tennis articles and only delink the well-known articles, i.e. Maria Sharapova, Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, the Williams sisters, etc. The present delink-revert cycle is getting us nowhere.

{{British Leyland}}

This template has reached far beyond its original scope of simply monitoring British Leyland. There is a propopsal for renaming it on its talk page which, as you are a contributor to the template, I hope you will participate in. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 07:52, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Wow

Nice work, Chris! the skomorokh 21:47, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Use of "iNtuition" in Myers-Briggs Type Indicator articles

Hi Colonies Chris, I noticed that you changed "iNtuition" to "Intuition" in the ESFJ article using AWB. Please note that "iNtuition" is the correct usage in Myers-Briggs terminology. The letter 'N' represents intuition, while the letter 'I' represents introversion. Thanks! ThreeOfCups (talk) 23:17, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Belated thanks for fixing up the references in the Descriptive psychology article. A definite improvement. Anscombe (talk) 20:31, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the good summary of the arguments. It helped me see where some people were coming from, though I still have my reservations. Cheers either way. Nja247 (talkcontribs) 14:55, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
