Sumo[edit]
What do we think about Hakuho's nationality? I can make a change to Japanese if the group thinks that makes sense? Bmesd matt (talk) 12:43, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- I would keep it as Mongolian; the column is really for place of birth not current nationality. The Sumo Association treats it that way too.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 12:51, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- okay, we'll keep him Mongolian... thanks. Bmesd matt (talk) 14:35, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
Adding some tables to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_in_sumo
If it proves helpful I'll do the other 5 in 2018 and start working backward through the years.
- Thanks for that. Do check the nationalities though, Ichinojo is most definitely Mongolian! Tigerboy1966 23:56, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- Ahh yes, of course he is! I'll double check my nationalities database, but any review of my work is welcome... Thanks! Bmesd matt (talk) 20:27, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
- Nice addition. I do wonder though where is the best place to put them – sometimes the tables are separated from the tournament information by unrelated news, which looks a bit odd. Maybe it would be better to have separate "tournament news", with the tables, and "other news."-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 17:34, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, I see your point. We could just leave it where it is and set it apart with a separate subsection within that month's section. Or you're right, we could have a separate main section for Tournament results. I'm new to the effort so I'm sure you know best how to try several options out. Do you want to try to move it to something you think looks better? Bmesd matt (talk) 19:27, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll have a go at trying some different lay outs.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 21:12, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
- Could be in the "Tournaments" section...Bmesd matt (talk) 19:26, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead, see what you think.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 13:32, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- I like it. I'll proceed with this as a template--I made the updates in the 2019 page for January. Bmesd matt (talk) 14:01, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you. Good to see another editor interested in sumo!-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 17:04, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- I was a fan in the '80s and '90s, but kind of lost it until the YouTube revolution. Pretty excited for this tournament with a few new Ozeki candidates. Bmesd matt (talk) 17:36, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

- Hi there. This may just be my own biases speaking, but I feel your tournament record tables would be improved visually by having the absence values (and the second dash mark) displayed only if they're actually different from zero, in line with how tournament results are usually presented.

- I agree that it may look better and I'll look into it. However I build these with a script which is pretty limited and I'm not sure how easy that would be. I'll play around and see what I can produce. Bmesd matt (talk) 15:46, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
