Greece NFT

You could describe in better English that the team performs better since 2004 than they used to, instead of adding statistics in the introduction (which aren't accurate, since Greece ends in the first 20 positions every year). "One of the greatest surprises" isn't very "loyal" for an encyclopedia? Because it's a fact. - Sthenel (talk) 19:41, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

You want to include it, find a reliable source that says it. Kevin McE (talk) 20:09, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Just make a good article that fits the wikipedia standards, im doing my best on the Greece article. Redman19 (talk) 20:45, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Lihaas' rant on Main Page/Errors

You have not replied to clarify? Was that an attack on me? Who was this spouter of venemous hate? I think that is a vehement enough attack to merit some clarification. Kevin McE (talk) 22:26, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

a response to the response to my message. was that an attack on me? if not, you should specifiy who your responding to.Lihaas (talk) 09:42, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

So what phrase that I wrote exhibited "venomous spite"? That accusation demands justification. how is "Nearly 14 hours since the inappropriateness of the current phrasing was raised: what's the delay? If a meaningful description of the controversy can't be found, don't make up a phrase" an attack on anyone, least of all on you? The "current phrasing" referred to the phrasing of the ITN blurb: in context, I believe that to be obvious.

I really don't think you should be lecturing me on placement of comments in a thread. The comment that you objected to, just like the comment that you made before that, was indented as the next contribution to a discussion, not a direct reply to the immediately preceding comment. The only part of the initial phase of the conversation that is clearly marked as being from you is the two links; the preceding line is differently indented, and unsigned: I had no reason to assume that it was your comment. And your rather intemperate outburst was indented identically to a preceding comment from an unregistered editor, and positioned such that, if it was a reply to anyone, it was to Medeis.

And if you are going to post redundant empty sectrion headers on other users' talk pages, at least find out what the phrases that you use mean first, so that you at least attempt to insult accurately. Kevin McE (talk) 10:26, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

ITN/C headings levels

In fact, I do not know why it is stated "Please use a level 4 heading (====) for new nominations" there. I am certainly not the one who started this convention; please feel free to start a discussion if you'd like to change it to level 3 heading. I just prefer to keep the format consistent throughout the candidates page. --BorgQueen (talk) 07:33, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh and I am not personally interested in the archive, and I am not familiar with its working. --BorgQueen (talk) 07:35, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
