Is Bridge a sport?

edit

Depends on your definition of sport. The World Bridge Federation is recognized as a sports federation by the International Olympic Committee and the WBF has been trying to get bridge into the Olympics. Caerwine 00:01, 12 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

TNTlite

edit

My first VFD (the old name for AFD) went down in flames. After it survived the vote, I turned the crappy substub I had nominated into an barely adequate stub. Since then the article has remained untouched, even by vandals. You can never tell what will happen in the AFD process.

I probably came down a little too hardnosed about your deletion of the link, but there was an editor that used to do something similar at Templates for deletion. For some of his nominations he used to remove the template from all the articles where it was being used and then say that the template should be deleted because it wasn't being used (that editor is currently under editing restrictions by the Arbitration Committee for other reasons).

Biographical stub on user page

edit

Hi, David. That was there as an editing reference so I could add it to some biographical stubs if I found them. It probably shouldn't be there the way it is, and I'll remove it. Thanks. --Tregonsee 17:50, 8 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

I put a centipede on my profile. So I figured out how to make small images. AAAAAADDDR 02:51, 23 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hi David, thanks for your message at my talk page. It is no problem at all - it's the chance we take when editing "current event" articles - some of our changes are going to get stepped on in the fray of trying to revert vandalism, even when we are tryign to fix vandalism ourselves! Keep up the fight! Johntex\talk 17:35, 31 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
