WikiProject Harry Potter roll-call

Hi there. Your username is listed on the WikiProject Harry Potter participants list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active on the project. Your name has therefore been moved to a "potentially inactive" list. If you still consider yourself an active WikiProject Harry Potter editor, please move your name from the Potentially inactive list to the Active Contributors list. You may also wish to add {{User WP Harry Potter}} to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. Conversely, if you do not wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the Inactive Contributors section. If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the Known to have left section. Many thanks.

Thanks! :)

Dynamo Kyiv vs Dynamo Kiev

Hello. I've noticed that you've changed "Dynamo Kyiv" to "Dynamo Kiev" several times. If you think that's how it should be, the article, FC Dynamo Kyiv should be renamed in the first place. Be aware, however, that this issue is sensitive; Talk:Kiev/naming is 364K long. Conscious 05:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

How do you justify your latest changing to "Kiev" on the "FC Dynamo Kyiv" article - that (correctly in my opinion) uses Kyiv throughout. - fchd 17:23, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

So you're basing your argument on the English transliteration of the Russian name of the Ukrainian City. Why, when there's a perfectly reasonable transliteration of the native Ukrainian? Even the article is called "FC Dynamo Kyiv"... - fchd 17:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Would you cite your atlas as a Reliable Source? If so, it's 15 years out of date. It's like referring to Mumbai as Bombay - using the language and terms of the former colonial power. - fchd 18:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd take that atlas back if I were you then! If you mean Spell-Checking system within my PC applications, both Kiev and Kyiv are OK, and quite right too, as for instance there would be no need to change the name of Chicken Kiev (Peking Duck would be a similar example). I see absolutely no justification for your continuing change of Kyiv to Kiev. I won't revert it any more, but I think you are getting very, very close to breaking the WP:3RR rule. - fchd 18:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Why did you just copy over a message from your talk page onto my talk page? As you can see, many people agree with me. The club is called FC Dynamo Kyiv, and so they should be referred to as Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League articles. - PeeJay 17:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

The discussion at Talk:Kiev is unrelated to the football club's name. By the way, my home atlas says the city's name is "Kyiv". - PeeJay 17:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Why are you using trivial examples to support your tenuous claims? The club that you call "Dynamo Kiev" is registered with UEFA as "FC Dynamo Kyiv", and that is how they should be referred to. This is not a matter of translation, but a matter of official naming. - PeeJay 17:59, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that one out. I will change it now. - PeeJay 18:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Pairing?

I noticed you added a pairing column to the UEFA Champions League 2007-08 seeding table. Firstly I am interested what is this? I first had assumed it refered to teams from the same country (as they can't draw each other), but this doesn't seem to be the case as Liverpool and Man U have different parings. Secondly if this isn't obvious to me as a football fan, it certainly can't be to someone who knows nothing about football; as we must always write articles on the assumption the the reader knows nothing about the subject, this paring should be explained in the article.

RE: Complaint of 3RR

Jimbo Wales' talk page is usually used for matters that mostly concern Jimbo or require serious attention. Edit warring, three revert violations, and similar issues can be addressed at requests for page protection, the three revert noticeboard, and administrator noticeboard/incidents.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 20:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know, you are getting pretty close to 3RR yourself. As I said to PeeJay, regardless of whether you are right or wrong, it's more important to the encylopedia to keep valuable contributors such as yourself, than for everything to be correct, sometimes it's just best to take a step back from an edit war and come back later when things have calmed down. John Hayes^talk 06:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Moskva etc.

Just to let you know I reverted your change to the other cities in that article for the following reasons. 1) None of those are in common usage, whereas you will often see the media use Kyiv 2) We shouldn't use the Champions League article as a place to decide these things. If you feel the city of Moscow should be called Moskva, then the article on Moscow is the place to change it, and only once it is there, then change it in the Champions League article. John Hayes^talk 06:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand your reply. Generally UEFA would be irrelevant as it is Swiss, not English (or from any other english speaking country). The main factor on Kiev /Kyiv should be common usage. Kiev is clearly used much more than Kyiv, but that is not the case for Dynamo Kiev/Dynamo Kyiv. I have seen many in the media using Dynamo Kyiv, so then other factors such as UEFA, or the club itself should be considered. John Hayes^talk 07:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I think your right, and Dynamo Kiev is used more than Dynamo Kyiv, but as both are used, I don't think it is a strong enough case to change it. In the end I really don't mind either way, just we should be consitent in our uses of a name across Wikipedia. John Hayes^talk 07:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bayern_Munich_1_-_2_Norwich_City

Your comments imply that you think that no sporting event is worthy of a Wikipedia article. Staying with football alone, there is a well established consensus that some matches are notable (for example, all of the articles in this category are unarguably notable). The question to be addressed by the AfD is whether this particular article demonstrates notability using reliable sources, not whether the consensus that some matches are notable is incorrect. I'd be really grateful if you would reconsider your opinion, as I do genuinely believe this is a notable match. Many thanks, --Dweller 09:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Template:ClubWCRound7

Hi, I noticed that you changed the Club World Cup template, saying that there will be a 5th place match. I reverted it for now because it´s not displaying properly, but I'll be glad to help with fixing it if you can point to a good source about that. According to this, the fifth place match has been eliminated for the 2007 edition, but I might be missing some newer information, so please let me know if that's the case. Thanks, --Gabbec 04:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
