dude, youshould have just moved it! :) I dont think there was much reason for a vote. I wonder if phil will vote, some of his coments has lead me to believe he'd vote our way, but so far he's been apposed to such moves. POds 04:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

email to the FIT

Hello i'm a french player, in my country our sport is calling touch rugby. I work on wikipedia did you know that encyclopedia. We have a problem to name our sport and of course to name the article: Touch rugby, touch football (rugby league).

The principal argument of the touch football (rugby league) is the sport created in australia and in australia you call that sport touch football

You can see the discution on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Touch_rugby for touch rugby http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Touch_football_%28rugby_league%29 for touch football (rugby league)

Can you help us please(sorry for my english) Quentin

Hill names that share

• Is there some sort of consensus about labeling shared hill names? For example, there's High Street (Lake District) and Pillar (Lake District) but there's High Seat, Lake District and High Raise, Langdale. Should we use brackets or a comma and has a decision been reached at the WikiProject? Thanks for doing some pronunc. by the way. --Mark J 12:20, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Paul Kramer?

Yer no idea. Good work. Check and see if it has relevance for Rugby league positions, although I doubt it. Also, I'm building a whole new Rugby league article, obviously based on the last one, but its getting reconstructed. POds 07:39, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!

Wikithanks

For your enormous contributions and effort into making the Marilyn list for Scotland. (& Wales). I hate to think how long it must have taken you! --Mark J 18:34, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Ta! I would like to have put the heights in but that would of taken even longer! Grinner 09:31, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

RHB

Grinner, are you a member of the Hills of Britain group? There's loads of useful information at the Files section [1] and a sort of hillwalking fraternity, especially if you're interested in relative heights and the Marilyns. You might want to join if you aren't a member, Stemonitis did recently & it's a pretty good group. --Mark J 16:52, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the TACit link

Hi Grinner - just a quick thanks for the TACit Tables link - cheers --Serenome 20:07, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Mountain categories

I have'nt done a lot of work with categories before, so I'll follow your lead for the moment.

Lapsed Pacifist 18:56, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Connacht wasn't very well represented in the Ireland category. I see the logic behind the categorisation now.

Lapsed Pacifist 18:03, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Grahams

Are the "Grahams" a specific mountain range, or are they just a categorization by height? Wahkeenah 09:31, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Precisely. From what you're saying, it is a classification rather than a specific range. That makes its being a proper noun questionable, in proper English. Must be a Scottish thing. Wahkeenah 10:21, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Buachaille Etive M?r

I notice that you've added acute accents to the text of Buachaille Etive Mor, which I applaud. Two things, however, give me slight cause for concern. Firstly (and most easily solved) the article title doesn't reflect that, and secondly the OS uses different accents at different scales: sometimes acute (1:25 000) and sometimes grave (larger scales). How do we decide (or did you decide) which is right? --Stemonitis 11:30, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

An Sgurr

Excellent article, well done! CarolGray 18:24, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Sting

Ta for popping him back on. I don't know why people keep removing some of the names from the "born in..." list. I know some might not be famous enough or whatever, but I've never heard of most of the authors etc., whereas I do know who Stephen Taylor and Michael Chopra are...! Mosh (talk) 11:31, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

French Clubs

Hey mate, I was wondering if you could double check some of the French clubs that have been made. The history is kind of dodgy, and some clubs have like three different names, so its hard to tell who has done what etc.

By the way, great work on all your RL input! I too am trying to help out, but still learning...

Cheers User:Smerk

Ok no bother, will look through. Grinner 15:04, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Inverness-shire Geography Stubs

Hi - you wrote: There is a problem with Category:Inverness-shire_geography_stubs.

Yes, I realise this - my fault. See comments on WP:SFD. Grutness...wha? 09:49, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Peak District Tops

I've listed Axe Edge Moor in the 'minor tops' bucket for now, but it's little different from Shining Tor which is in the main classification. However, this could soon get cluttered. Views/advices to the category talk page I suggest :-) Bob aka Linuxlad 17:46, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

I'll reply at Category_talk:Mountains_and_hills_of_the_Peak_District to keep things all together. 09:52, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I see you've forced the issue by moving all the existing tops in to the main classification, and knifing the 'Minor Tops' article. I think that's rather short sighted - there are half a dozen more which would be candidates of a 'minor tops' which can't really be justified in the main cat. That said, your new list looks well  :-) Bob aka Linuxlad

I've left a reply to you & 'Stem' on my talk area. Bob aka Linuxlad 13:45, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Mass RL AFD

Thanx for the heads up. I've been checking in the last couple of weeks, bout every second day or less. I've been fairly inactive recently due to exams. Last one tomorrow (thank gawd). I've noticed the increasing amount of vandalism on our pages too. I find it hard to believe this is just co-incidence. Be nice to know George's IP, see if it is similar to the vandaliser's, I.e. on the same network. Anyway, thanx again, I'll be returning soon ;) Cheers till then! POds 12:47, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

English Rugby League Revert

Hey Grinner. About the recent edits to the English Rugby League. You may want to pick out the bits edited by George Williams that may have a place on that page. Such as the statements that the sport is played in particular demographics. That type of information is very important for those pages. I agree, he probably is just trying to cause trouble, but rugby league is constrained by a demographic in England and I think this information would be very useful for this page. Also, George did not write it in the right place. If you see more information like this, try to look at it objectively, a lot of it will be horse s**t, but some of it may be gold ;) and put it in its correct place. Refer to the Australian and New Zealand pages on how to handle demographics. POds 22:45, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

frankly it's mostly rubbish, but I suppose a couple of points are worth salvaging. Grinner 10:37, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
