Rot-Weiss Frankfurt

Hello Anaxagoras, I don't know whether you are aware of it but when moving pages like Rot-Weiss Frankfurt, you will also have to fix the double redirects you are creating. Otherwise you end up with a couple of links that don't work. An example is Helvetia Frankfurt, which redirects to Rot-Weiß Frankfurt which in turn redirects to Rot-Weiss Frankfurt. Double redirects don't work on wikipedia. Have fun, take care, EA210269 (talk) 00:47, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

EHF templates

Can you explain the reversions in Template:EHF teams [1] and Template:EHF women's teams [2]? Needless to say that the European Handball Federation and the International Handball Federation are using the appellation "former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia". --157.228.x.x (talk) 21:55, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

It came to my attention that you are following me around with a somewhat edit-warring mood, thus making it extremely hard for me to assume good faith. An early, but telling, indication was your editing pattern in Template:EHF teams, specifically this one, followed by this one and finally that one the next few days or weeks. In all of the above you were blindly reverting, claiming that we are supposed to alphabetise FYR Macedonia under 'M'. All of your reversions though were restoring a version, which as of the time of this post, it still stands [3], listing the country in question as "Macedonia" plain. We both know that this is not correct. --157.228.x.x (talk) 17:32, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of 2007–08 Cuban National Series

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on 2007–08 Cuban National Series requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Dusti^SPEAK!! 03:38, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 2007–08 Cuban National Series

The article 2007–08 Cuban National Series has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This page doesn't have any citations or references, and does not seem to be notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dusti^SPEAK!! 16:20, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Super Bowl Champions

Do you want to share how I'm wrong, or do you just want to spout that I'm wrong without explaining yourself? Regards, — Moe Epsilon 14:27, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

It's that easy: the 1972 Dolphins are the only perfect team in NFL history, that's it. No other team has won all their matches.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 14:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Obviously you never read perfect season. Like I said in my edit summary, prior to 1932, four teams completed their seasons with no loses and ties were simply discarded in regards to the win percentage and did not count as half a win and half a loss like it is today. Their records stand as 1.000 in the history books. So indeed the 1920 Akron Pros, the 1922 Canton Bulldogs, the 1923 Canton Bulldogs and the 1929 Green Bay Packers do have perfect seasons. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 14:36, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

The article you cite states that "A perfect season is a sports season including any requisite playoff portion, in which a team remains undefeated and untied." Further, it says, "only one team has played a complete perfect season," the Dolphins. It goes on to say that there were "four teams who completed seasons undefeated, but with one or more tied games," which is not a perfect season, as defined by the article itself, no matter how they dealt with winning percentages then. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 15:49, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

So because "it's how the article defines perfect" as compared to how history actually happened, teams that went undefeated and had no losses and a perfect winning percentage are now not perfect. Okay, I see I'm dealing with history revisionists, I'll stop trying to add the word "modern" to NFL history when it's clearly true that back in the 1920s a perfect season included ties. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 16:33, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

You were the one who cited the article on perfect season as support, not me. And you in turn are defining the term by the winning percentage rather than common usage of the term. If you want to say those teams were undefeated, fine. But the common use of the term does not disregard ties. Lastly, it isn't the 1920s any more. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 16:58, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

The article includes ties because in most, if not all, of modern sports a tie counts for something (usually a half win/half loss). In today's world, yes, a perfect season can't be accomplished with a tie because it affects the outcome. "This isn't the 1920s anymore" is the most piss-poor response you could come up with. Yeah, it's not, but that doesn't retroactively change the past. You can't just write an article on Wikipedia in 2013 and say "Well it was 1920, they didn't know better" and call it a day. It doesn't work like that; that is history revisionism. In 1920s and 30s in the NFL, a perfect season could be accomplished by winning every game and having a tie in the standings, period. No amount of "the article says different" changes that. Trying to compare "common use" of a term that has changed over time (particularly in the NFL) to something from 90 years ago doesn't work. You have to apply how it was defined then to how it was, and back then those teams had a perfect season. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 17:17, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

On Wikpedia, we use the most common current usage of terms, not those in use at some point in the past. The Vikings never called themselves Vikings, and citizens of the Byzantine Empire called themselves Romans, yet we have pages using those terms. At any rate, your argument should be raised on the page for perfect season, not in regard to the Super Bowl champions list. And even there, find a current, reliable source that refers to these pre-1932 seasons as perfect, and then you'll have an argument. Otherwise, what you are proposing is WP:OR. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 17:28, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Literally laughing out loud. Did you even see my edit? I'm guessing you didn't considering you didn't since you're shouting WP:OR. Don't worry, if I actually care enough about defending my point, I could do it pretty damn easily and have an unreferenced "common usage" term on Wikipedia altered for accuracy. However, nincompoops are one reason why I'm no longer a frequent contributor anymore, because I have to debate them on a point on a website where a nincompoop with the same opinion will go back and change it. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 17:48, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Without a supporting source, your interpretation of the term perfect season is OR, and the modification "modern" is unnecessary. And personal attacks on other editors are always inappropriate. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 17:58, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Oh boy.. first I'll just say you can't personally attack other editors as a whole. That's missing the element of "personal" and becomes an oxymoron on your part. Second, the burden of proof is on you right now, not me. The article as it stands says:

A perfect season is a sports season including any requisite playoff portion, in which a team remains undefeated and untied. The feat is extremely rare at the professional level of any team sport, and has occurred more commonly at the collegiate level in the United States. A perfect regular season (known by other names outside the United States) is a season excluding any playoffs, where a team remains undefeated and untied; it is less rare than a complete perfect season but still exceptional.

Now that is fine and all, but where is your supporting source for this interpretation of the term? Because a reference doesn't exist at the beginning of this article. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 18:16, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

A lead does not have to include citations for material that is not likely to be challenged and is discussed in the body, WP:LEADCITE. Again, it seems your argument is with the page on the term perfect season. I invite you to raise the issue at the talk page there. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 18:29, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

You act like I haven't read the article, which you're mistaken. Since you're pointing the LEADCITE where you don't have to have a reference in the lead, because the body of the article discusses a perfect season, with references, please cite the passages. I really must have missed it. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 18:36, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

{sigh} You were the one who cited that page as support for your position. When I pointed out that the opening sentence of that article directly contradicts your position, you began attacking that page. I have never edited that page. If you have a problem with that page, please discuss it at the talk page there. Beyond that, if it is common usage to refer to those early seasons as perfect, then it should be no trouble finding a reliable source supporting the addition of the modifier "modern." So why are you still arguing about this here? Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 18:46, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Indeed I did, because Anamagoras13 incorrectly said that the Dolphins were the only one to win every game, and in the 1920s ties didn't count, resulting in four teams that also had seasons with nothing but wins. I cited the page since it actually referred to what I was talking about. However, the article is also incorrect and I have already proven that considering your lack of response to where the citations for what the actual "common usage" is. I really have nothing left to debate now honestly, I think I've proven my point. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 18:58, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

AFC Asian Cup Group D

Please explain why my edit on Template:2015 AFC Asian Cup Group D table is wrong. The first tiebreaker is clearly "Greater number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned". // Mattias321 (talk) 11:05, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

In a 3-way-tie between Japan, Iraq and Jordan, Japan can end up 3rd in the group, e.g. Jordan beat Japan 2-0 and Iraq win by any score. Palestine can win a 3-way-tie with Iraq and Jordan, e.g. Palestine beat Iraq 8-0 and Jordan lose by any score.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 11:15, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

2015 AFC Asian Cup Group D table template

I think you're posting incorrect information about his table. Please refer to the Official AFC Asian Cup Group D standings at: http://www.afcasiancup.com/standings/en/ It clearly states that Iraq is 3rd and Jordan 2nd at the current date (17/1/15). Just to make the information accurate and correct. Please explain if you think I'm wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noidberg (talk • contribs) 13:52, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Read the tie-breaking-criteria. Head-to-head is the first tie-breaker.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 14:01, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Can you give me a link to the tie-breaking criteria? Because the tie-breaking criteria as listed on the Wikipedia page says something completely different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.251.213 (talk) 21:38, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

??? The tie-breaking criteria in the article says head-to-head, and there is a source linked, or direct here: http://www.afcasiancup.com/i/AsianCup/img/pdfs/2015_Competition_Regulations.pdf Page 23.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 21:43, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Read the Official AFC Rankings from the source, which supports my claim. If you still think I'm incorrect, please find a reliable source to support your claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noidberg (talk • contribs) 14:03, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

The reliable source are the rules of the tournament, read it.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 14:06, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Then can you clarify why the Official website of the AFC Asian Cup Australia 2015 has Jordan 2nd and Iraq 3rd?--Noidberg (talk) 14:11, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

I raised the issue on the talk page of the tournament, discuss there.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 14:17, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

See also links

Hello. I noticed you removed the 'See Also' links a couple of times in the articles 2015 Cricket World Cup Pool A and 2015 Cricket World Cup Pool B which were connecting to each other. The two articles are quite a lot related to each other. We would like to direct the readers to see the other article too. This was the reason why I added the See also links. About which navigation bar are you talking about? It is okay to add them there. But, I don't know what a navigation bar in Wikipedia is and was unable to make out. I bet other users will have a difficulty too. The see also links make it easy and efficient to navigate from one related article to the other. Please give me a brief explanation why really do we need to do this. Thanks. Kashish Arora (talk) 09:13, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

The Template:2015 Cricket World Cup at the bottom of the sub-articles is enough (and a better way) to navigate between the articles. Maybe the term navigator bar is not 100% correct in en-WP, but I think anyone who wants to navigate, finds this template in the article.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 09:18, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Is that called a navigator? If it is called or not, it is alright. But actually, no one even scrolls down the references. Everyone will just stop scrolling when they see the references have started. That is uneasy now.--Kashish Arora (talk) 09:23, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

I raised this question on the talk page of the main article.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 09:36, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

June 2015

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Your edits also seem to constitute factual errors (e.g. removing that Colombia was eliminated). Thank you. TL22 (talk) 13:29, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at 2015 Copa América 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.
Also please don't remove information that is correct, Colombia was eliminated yesterday. Thank you. TL22 (talk) 13:31, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

The final postion of Colombia is not known yet, so they are NOT to be included until the last quarter-final. So stop that nonsense!--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 14:35, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

So? If it qualified as a live update, it could be reverted. But it is not a live update because it was after the match ended. We can simply move Colombia after Brazil vs. Paraguay ends. --TL22 (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

No, we can list Colombia only after the final QF ends. If we list a team in a position which they don't have for sure, is nothing else than livetickering.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 14:53, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Is there a policy against what I am doing? I don't think so. Information must always be up-to-date, so that is techincally allowed. --TL22 (talk) 14:59, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Baseball

It is incorrect to say that the rules were applied wrongly. Consulting the tournament regulations for other tournaments indicates it works the same: http://www.ibaf.org/en/infopage-detail.aspx?id=c202a5a5-ebd9-48f6-8b72-c4877880862d For example, at the U-12 Baseball World Cup later this month, under section C11, it says: "If three or more teams are tied and when criterion 1 [head to head] does not break a tie, a team or teams with lower TQB will be eliminated so that criterion 1 [head to head] can break the tie between the teams." MrArticleOne (talk) 21:03, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I see, what a complete nonsense, unlogical and unfair new rule!!! One could also set the team with the best TQB on the first position and the result between the other determines 2nd and 3rd in this tie. That illustrates how nonsense that rule is! Very sad for baseball and logic.--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 09:29, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Due, in part to FIFA's insistence, the Men's Olympic football tournament is an U-23 tournament (with three players allowed over that age).

Your edits on Kingdom of Yugoslavia

Hello User:Anaxagoras13,

Greetings. At least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been or will be reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. You are adding contentious material to this articlke without a reliable source.

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please see what is not vandalism for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. You should not make accusations of vandalism lightly.

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.

Copa América Centenario

Your recent editing history 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 are 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.

July 2016

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at Copa América Centenario. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 23:12, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Serbia national team

If you continue with vandalism you will be reported to administrators... you are removing sources, and giving your unsourced claim. FR Yugoslavia was Serbia and Montenegro name from 1992 to 2003, and there was 95% Serbian players. Serbia is successor state of FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro and there is source from official FIBA website. So once again, please stop with vandalism.--Bozalegenda (talk) 15:57, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

You are the one who vandalizes! Stop that! Your source is from 2006!!!!!!!!!! 10 years old and way outdated. FIBA doesn't consider Serbia as successor of FR Yugoslavia. Just look at hte FIBA-site: [6]. You are the one who will be reported.--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 16:04, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

So now it is your turn to correct your error.--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 16:06, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

This is thoroughly discussed on the article's talk page and consensus is reached years ago. Wikipedia is consistent with treatment of all Serbia national teams, which are almost universally legal successors of Serbia and Montenegro. The practical compromise has been reached years ago that Yugoslavia national teams before 1992 have separate articles, while the information under "Serbia national teams" contain the Serbia&Montenegro (FRY) results as well. The matter was also at the article's talk page, at #Final disscussion: Results/medals history back in 2014, which seems to have reached similar conclusion.

In my latest edit I provided the source from FIBA site that clearly says that Basketball Federation of Serbia retains seat of previous Basketball federation of Federal Republic of Yugolavia (1992-2003) / Serbia and Montenegro (2003 - 2006) i.e. it is the direct and sole successor.

If you want to re-open discussion about this, please feel free to do so and try to reach a new consensus. Until then, please refrain from edits or I will be forced to report you and block you from any editing.

Regards--Klačko (talk)

You did not provide any source!--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 16:26, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello Anaxagoras13. You've been reported a lot at admin boards. In fact, you finished a one week block only on August 30. Your new appearance at AN3 can't be a good sign. (The complaint is about warring at EuroBasket and EuroBasket 2017). You might consider responding at the noticeboard and telling us if you are planning to do better in the future. If an administrator decides to close this report as a violation, a much longer block is possible. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 03:24, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

You've been warned per the result of this report. If you revert again at either EuroBasket or EuroBasket 2017 without getting prior consensus on the talk page you may be blocked. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 16:56, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

doubles luge

How is it a mixed event if no women compete. Do you mean because technically they can? I hope you are fixing bobsleigh as well then.18abruce (talk) 16:41, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

See [7] "Both men and women can slide in this competition.". What have bobsleigh to do with it?--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 16:48, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

No women compete, really? [{Maria Isser]]--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 16:51, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Yes technically they can, I stated that, please try to actually read what I write. The qualification rules state that it is an "open" event. But if no women compete in it now, or even tried to qualify, what is the point? 4-man bobsleigh is open to women as well as men, some competed last year but opted not to try to qualify this year. But I would think a small note to that affect, for both luge and bobsleigh, would be more appropriate then calling something mixed that only has male competitors.18abruce (talk) 17:13, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Does the "Superior goal difference in all matches of the group" criteria apply first for teams with the same number of points (in preliminary round)? JonnyZwiki (talk) 22:13, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Furthermore, the actual directive is as follows (contrasting with the one you created): “It is considered good practice to provide a summary for every edit, especially when reverting (undoing) the actions of other editors or deleting existing text; otherwise, people may question your motives for the edit. Accurate summaries help other contributors decide whether they want to review an edit, and to understand the change should they choose to review it.”--2604:2000:E010:1100:CC41:3469:F5ED:4222 (talk) 19:18, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Stop Undoing My Edits: RWC pages

Why do you keep undoing my edits? Only 3 matches were played, however, an additional draw result was awarded, without another game being played, hence the abnormal match numbers and the references down to the note explaining the situation. So, why undo that? BDigs153 (talk) 16:43, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

The cancelled games are already counted in the table. Please do not continue with this false edits.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 17:31, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

It's not false if that's exactly how it played out. They've only played 3 games, not 4. They were both 'awarded' an extra draw, hence why there are 3 games, their 3 results, then an additional draw on the table. These are all then referenced down to the explanation at the match details section, where it explains the circumstances for this. It's common sense and logic. The 'canceled' games are in the table; as a draw. As they didn't play the games, they can't be counted in the matches played column, but the draw can be awarded. Your edits are false, as you're misleading the public to believe everyone played 4 games, which is not the case. I've seen you have a history and a habit of undoing any edits you don't personally believe are correct. Please be considerate. Thanks for your time and understanding. -BDigs153 (talk) 23:44, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Furthermore, if the matches played is displayed as 4 instead of 3, you're misleading the reader as they will think the tries, points scored, points against and points deficit are what was scored for 4 games, which is false. The stats displayed are for 3 games played, which should be reflected in the matches played count. Thanks - BDigs153 (talk) 00:05, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Using RWC website as a source for spelling or grammar

Two incidents I've noticed in the history of the 2019 Rugby World Cup article:

• [Undo 1] [Undo 2] Reverting the correct change from "less" to "fewer".
• [Undo 1] [Undo 2] [Undo 3] Reverting the correct change from "knock-out" to "knockout", crossing the line of 3 reverts constituting an WP:EDITWAR.

In summary, please stop starting editwars built on the completely fallacious idea that the official RWC web page is a paragon of spelling and grammar. Indeed, deleting a hyphen or changing "less" to "fewer" would be a really strange type of vandalism; so if you're not 100% sure these changes are wrong, you should perhaps give the benefit of the doubt. Based on all trustworthy sources I can find (i.e., dictionaries), these particular reverts are wrong and a complete waste of other people's time. --RobertStar20 (talk) 11:29, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @RobertStar20: The spelling "knock-out" is not incorrect; both "knock-out" and "knockout" are acceptable variants. – PeeJay 07:12, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

2017 World Women's Handball Championship

Hi,

could you explain your comment about the final ranking of the 2017 World Women's Handball Championship on French Wikipedia? "No ; both have 2 points and 83-81 goals in the deciding stats". You may be right, but where does those 2 points and those goals come from?

Even though Montenegro defeated Denmark, Denmark had a better rank in group phase and better results (4 wins and 3 loss for Denmark while only 3 wins, 1 drawn and 3 loss for Montenegro ). Hence I totally don't understand why IHF considered that they both ended on 6th rank. I would be grateful if you have an explanation and even better a source about it. Thanks ! --LeFnake (talk) 11:46, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello, for the places 5-8, quarterfinal losers, the teams were ranked by their results against the top 4 teams in the preliminary round.
