Hello to all fellow Wikipedians. GoodDay 22:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC).[reply]

This user has been on Wikipedia for 18 years, 6 months and 10 days.

You may be wondering why my archives only start at August 2007. The reason: I didn't archive my pages before that date, I merely deleted them (as I didn't know how to archive). Therefore, if anyone wishes to see material before August 2007? check out this talkpage's 'history'.

I've an Awards page, where I keep a list of Wikipedia awards bestowed upon me.

Jobtitles

Either you write Minister of Foreign Affairs as a proper noun, so that minister and foreign affairs are all capped, or it's not a proper noun in which case you write "minister of foreign affairs". "Foreign Affairs" is not a proper noun on its own, it's only a proper noun if the title Minister of Foreign Affairs is a proper noun. It simply doesn't make sense to say "minister of Foreign Affairs" since Foreign Affairs on its own is not a proper noun. It's not the same as Canada or United States which is a proper noun on its own as a country ie you can write "prime minister of Canada" but you can't write "minister of National Defence".

@Horatio Bumblebee: I didn't know the entire word had to be lower cased. Thanks for catching that. GoodDay (talk)

Comma following a date

Hi, I thought I would bring our discussion here, rather than continuing a tit-for-tat on the John Hopoate page. I think the relevant "rule" here is Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Date commas, which provides that "Dates in month–day–year format require a comma after the day, as well as after the year, unless followed by other punctuation". Note the M-D-Y format. If Hopoate's DOB was reported as January 16, 1974, then I agree that a comma is required after 1974. In his case, however, his DOB follows the Australian system of D-M-Y, which does not have a comma after the year. Thanks for reading. Regards, WWGB (talk) 06:42, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@WWGB: I've always understood it as "born August 10, 2022 in county" or "born 10 August 2022, in country". GoodDay (talk) 06:45, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That first one definitely needs a comma after the year, to come back from the aside entered by the comma before the year. In the second one, I'd say it's optional, and I'd generally omit it. Dicklyon (talk) 02:34, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen a lot of them done as "M D, Year in country & "D M Year, in country". GoodDay (talk) 02:46, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts involving start date and age template

Why are you reverting the edits to hockey clubs that indicate how old they are utilizing the Template:start date and age with no reason given for the revert?

The template's Usage in Articles section states: "This template is most often used in infoboxes in articles about buildings or organizations, identifying when they were started/founded/opened or dissolved/ended/closed."

Since each hockey club is an organization, usage of the template is clearly compliant with the template's guidelines. It also provides useful information to Wikipedia readers, and is consistent with usage of the template for founded dates and ages in other sports' infoboxes in Wikipedia.

Would you please justify your action and reconsider the reverts.

Thanks. Truthanado (talk) 01:37, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Truthanado: My sincere apologies, as I should've originally took this to WP:SPORTS & WP:HOCKEY. It's just that you suddenly appeared on my watchlist (which has all the NHL teams) adding the template. As they say my way, your foot was a tad heavy on the pedal.

My objection on your revision

I noticed you reverted my edit. It is an official announcement by the team in which Bill Spaulding is going to replace Steve Cangialosi starting in the 2022-23 season for the New Jersey Devils. Please remember, yes, the source is true, but I want to let you know. 20chances (talk) 22:43, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
