I would be interested in your opinion on this discussion: Talk:Alcoholics Anonymous#Recovery vs. recovered

Vs. Vs

You might want to actually look at the guideline you cited. It specifically says that "vs." and "vs" are BOTH acceptable. TJ Spyke 19:12, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Please read it again. It says both "vs" and "vs." are acceptable for sports. That means there was ZERO reason for you to change them. You are violating both MOS:ABBR and WP:ENGVAR. This is bordering on disruption by you. TJ Spyke 05:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I will support Spyke's interpretation of the guideline. It suggests both "vs" and "vs." are acceptable for sports, just not legal. --TreyGeek (talk) 08:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Quoted actual guideline language on Spyke's user page.--2008Olympian 14:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't aware the others didn't use it. When I get a chance I will (I am at school right now). TJ Spyke 15:03, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I saw that and have read it on my own. Keep in mind that there is an "or" in there. If only one of the two were allowed for sports then it would read: "v (legal), vs (sports), or vs.". We can ask on the talk page for verification if you would prefer that.--TreyGeek (talk) 15:05, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

San Antonio Spurs template

All other NBA teams have their past names in their templates, so until a consensus is reached otherwise, the Dallas Chaparrals name will stay on their template. I hope you understand, Tom Danson (talk) 20:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

{{resolved}}

Why did you remove all the resolved tags? Some of the sections have been discussed ,an agreement reached and the MOS changed. What else do you need to consider them resolved ? Gnevin (talk) 08:51, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Joe Son.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Joe Son.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Oursinees324 (talk) 22:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Comics

Hey - it's that time again. I have to ask, out of curiousity are you still an active member of the WikiProject Comics? The list is going through a clean-up right now. -- A /_contribs 16:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I get you, but try clicking on User:Jester Press. Apparently that user doesn't exist. -- A /_contribs 12:20, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah - good catch, thanks. -- A /_contribs 22:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Temporary injunction and your use of my monobook script

Hi,

I am pleased to see that you have used my monobook script to remove the autoformatting or linking of dates or other functions; I hope you have found it useful.

This is to let you know that ArbCom has announced a temporary injunction against the "mass delinking of dates". You can still delink dates on an occasional basis; however, you may wish to be cautious and use the script only for its non-date functions until the issue is resolved by an RFC poll. You may wish to express your view on autoformatting and date linking in the RFC at: Misplaced Pages:Date_formatting_and_linking_poll.
