-Although I agree with you that the [[Templeton Prize]] should not be in year articles, such as 1980, there seems to be a consensus that it should be.  Please restore the sections, and bring up the matter in the appropriate forum, probably [[WT:YEARS]].  — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]]  [[User talk:Arthur Rubin|(talk)]] 20:33, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

-[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Hello, I'm [[User:CalendarWatcher|CalendarWatcher]]. I noticed that you recently removed some content from [[:1980]]&nbsp;without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an [[Wikipedia:Edit summary|edit summary]]. The removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:CalendarWatcher|my talk page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-delete1 --> ''I have restored them.

-And yet you left the Right Livelihood Awards intact. Funny that. --[[User:CalendarWatcher|CalendarWatcher]] ([[User talk:CalendarWatcher|talk]]) 10:01, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
-And I notice that you've made no attempt other than whingeing on my talk page to make any sort of arguments in the proper venues. --[[User:CalendarWatcher|CalendarWatcher]] ([[User talk:CalendarWatcher|talk]]) 10:02, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
-:And speaking of whinging: what do Alexa rankings--which are supposedly measuring the popularity of WEB SITES--have to do with the 'popularity' of awards? The answer, to save you the trouble, is 'nothing what-so-ever'. --[[User:CalendarWatcher|CalendarWatcher]] ([[User talk:CalendarWatcher|talk]]) 13:09, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
-::In other words, the connection between the prestige/importance/impact of an award is directly correlated with an unreliable ranking of its official web site? I'd call that '[[WP:OR|original research]]' but that would be a mis-use of the term 'research'.
-[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Hello, I'm [[User:DaL33T|DaL33T]]. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of [[Special:Contributions/86.175.34.86|your recent contributions]]&nbsp;to [[:1999]] because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:DaL33T|my talk page]]. Thanks!<!-- Template:uw-vandalism1 --><!-- Template:uw-cluebotwarning1 -->  ''There is such a thing as the [[Templeton Prize]] by the way.''

->The default position is that it should not be included on a page like this. If you want to forward your agenda, it's up to you to prove notability.
-No, you have it backwards. The default position is, by definition, what is. You are attempting to change things, which is NOT the default. If you want to change things, you'll have to make at least a token attempt to justify said changes other than using irrelevancies about Web access statistics.
-And as for agendas, the only one I see is someone who has decided on his own that an internationally recognised award is beneath the notice of Wikipedia--or, more accurately it would appear he does not WANT it to be noticed by Wikipedia. --[[User:CalendarWatcher|CalendarWatcher]] ([[User talk:CalendarWatcher|talk]]) 03:07, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
-:The [[Templeton Prize]] doesn't merit attention but the '[[Your Sinclair]] Readers' Top 100 Games of All Time' does? You certainly have a peculiar standard for importance. --[[User:CalendarWatcher|CalendarWatcher]] ([[User talk:CalendarWatcher|talk]]) 03:13, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
