It/They

I see you're Australian, I'm American, and I'm telling you, bands are "they" here, not "it". "We went on tour with it" sounds completely wrong, and this tendency to refer to bands as "it" is something I've noticed on Wikipedia more than anywhere else (and not even consistently within articles, like this one). Believe me, I've been listening to music my whole life, and we say "they", not "it" – we only use the singular form of verbs when we use the name of the band itself. `Esszet (talk) 03:30, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Esszet, if you feel strongly enough about it, please discuss at the article talk page, not here, and don't revert again unless you reach a consensus. In the meantime, read here: In American English (AmE), collective nouns are almost always singular in construction: the committee was unable to agree. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 05:02, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I already did, and are you seriously trying to tell me how American English works? Fucking seriously? I already explained it above, we do not say "We went on tour with it". Why do you think you knoew American English better than I do? Esszet (talk) 05:06, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Esszet, keep the discussion to the article talk page. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 07:25, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What in the world is your problem? Esszet (talk) 15:10, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) 4TheWynne, you don't WP:OWN Metallica and you may be over-applying American English; "almost always" ≠ "always". Miniapolis 16:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And going right to a level-3 WP:DE warning at User talk:Esszet is itself disruptive. Miniapolis 17:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of 2023 AFL Women's season

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 2023 AFL Women's season you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Teratix -- Teratix (talk) 13:02, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No Doubt

When it comes to Years Active, 2024 is present. Adding “present” is redundant. Furthermore, the band yesterday confirmed that they’re doing a one-off show. There won’t be more, no new music. It’s a one-off gig. Partyclams (talk) 06:25, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of 2023 AFL Women's season

Don Ienner: Later career and Columbia Records

Hi. I noticed that you are an active member of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Musicians#Participants. Therefore, I thought you might be interested in taking a look at an edit request I recently posted at Talk:Don_Ienner#Later_career. Although Don Ienner is not a musician himself, as the head of Columbia Records and Sony Music, he helped launch the careers of many popular contemporary musicians, so I am hoping this might interest you. I wonder if, while you are already on the talk page, you would also look at a previous edit request I posted at Talk:Don Ienner#Columbia Records & Sony Music section, which was only partially implemented. I was in a discussion with another editor about the bullet points he did not implement, but he has not responded to me. I would really appreciate it if you can look and see what you think over there as well. Thanks, GarrettEye (talk) 09:23, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Season leads my thoughts

I'm not really in favour of putting minor premierships in the season leads. I'd rank it behind Brownlow and Coleman in the list of extra things I'd include, and I think weight of references would probably back that up. Whether those two medals are worth putting in the lead, I don't have a strong view, but I'll be against the minor premiers when it goes to the project. I also wouldn't personally include the grand final venue, that's appropriate for the grand finals' leads moreso than the season's. Aspirex (talk) 09:56, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Content?

Hey I have read some things and want to know if these are notable enough for the 2024 season page (With the sources).

1. The total crowd across Round 1 was the highest crowd record for a single round of football (source: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1089139/raise-the-roof-afl-smashes-all-time-crowd-record-in-round-one-of-the-2024-season)
2. Caleb Serong's 46 disposals is a club record (This is probably more for the 2024 Fremantle Dockers season page) (Source: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1090061/beefed-up-engine-room-transforms-scrappy-and-dirty-fremantle-dockers)

Also can I ask why are some items in the season notes combined into one paragraph (e.g. the Andrew Dillon becoming CEO and the Jesse Baird thing which is incomplete)

Flipstatic Energy (talk) 02:23, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Flipstatic Energy, "Season events" and "Season notes" are different sections – the former talks more about related events that happen during the season (incomplete, yes, but a work in progress), while the latter is further down the article, and the crowd record is already mentioned there. Serong's record isn't necessary for this article, but can be mentioned at his own article and any club articles where records are mentioned, like you alluded to. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 02:46, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah sorry I meant Season events before.

Also thanks I could not see the season notes section had the R1 attendance.

AFL nickname

Hey just saw you reverted the edit, wanting consensus. Don't really understand why that is necessary, considering it's an obvious nickname. But have added it to the talk page. Basetornado (talk) 12:22, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2023 AFL Women's Grand Final

I tried to get 2023 AFL Women's Grand Final to GA but failed. Could you have a look at it for me? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:04, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Hawkeye7 – I'll definitely give it a look when I have a bit more time, but rather than a new review, I'll do a bit of a cleanup and see how far that goes to resolving any points of contention there. Thanks again for the DYK review, too. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 06:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That would be much appreciated. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 10:20, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for 2023 AFL Women's season

On 11 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2023 AFL Women's season, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after going winless in its first season in 2022, Sydney made the finals in the 2023 AFL Women's season and won its first finals match? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2023 AFL Women's season. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 2023 AFL Women's season), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Well done 4TheWynne! I read the nomination page, and I must say the stitch-up with the Svarc sisters had me laughing! What a joke (the journo) --SuperJew (talk) 17:47, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I did. I didn’t realize you reverted the edit to the change I did. I apologize. Didn’t know you did an edit in between. Meep Meep 17:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete Goalkicking tables.

Hey 4TheWynne,

I was looking at previous coleman medal leaderboard tables to check something and I noticed that 2022 and 2020 are not complete. I would like to know why this is and if you would like me to attempt to fill the missing data in on the pages.

2022 is missing data on goals for Lance Franklin, Bailey Fritsch, Charlie Cameron and Taylor Walker. Franklin is missing one square while Fritsch does not have the goal tally on most of his squares. Most of Walker and Cameron's squares are missing.

2020 does not have a key or tally at all. It also does not show who was on top for each of the rounds. (This is probably explainable considering that was the Covid year).

Flipstatic Energy (talk) 13:06, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Flipstatic Energy, per my response at the 2024 talk page (I don't necessarily think that was the best place to bring it up, and think that we could have just spoken here, but I responded anyway), you don't have to stress about previous seasons, as they will gradually be cleaned up; unless you're confident that you'll be able to change the formatting properly and complete the tables error-free, I'm more than happy to do it, as I know I'll be able to apply it consistently. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 13:21, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like I could add the final Lance Franklin square in easily but I probably would run into problems with the others ngl. Thanks for explaining though! Flipstatic Energy (talk) 13:46, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

4TheWynne also sorry about this but I noticed this guy changing the indigenous names on the 2023 page and even made two of the games wrong. (I had originally fixed the two games around unaware they were supposed to be in the indigenous form).

Team names for Sir Doug Nicholls round

Hi 4thewynne, re: your edit on the 2024 AFL season page, just wondering if there's any particular reason for not allowing teams to be called their indigenous names during Sir Doug Nicholls round? It's what they're referred to by the media and at the games, so doesn't seem like it should be a problem. It's a pretty minor change that pays respect to the indigenous history of our country.
