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. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:33, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

August 2012

Hello, I'm CalendarWatcher. I noticed that you recently removed some content from 1980 without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an 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 my talk page. Thank you. I have restored them. CalendarWatcher (talk) 04:44, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

And yet you left the Right Livelihood Awards intact. Funny that. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 10:01, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 10:02, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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'. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 13:09, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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 'original research' but that would be a mis-use of the term 'research'.

Hello, I'm DaL33T. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions 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 my talk page. Thanks! There is such a thing as the Templeton Prize by the way.
