OK, let's see if we can agree on how to treat this matter. I agree that the invitational shouldn't show any wuota, I only did that so the quota assigned to Africa wouldn't show 1 with no team to the right to it as South Africa withdrew. In my opinion quotas assigned to each federation, that is quotas awarded by each tournament, should appear, that way it is clearer what is explained in text above the chart. About the long dash, that means another should have been there but for some reason they are not (they qualified as host nation for example, therefore the second one qualifies). I think that should appear but, but if it is too confusing we can leave that out. But I still think the quotas should appear. Look here 2010_FIFA_World_Cup#Qualification. They show it, quotas for each confederation. Taking into account that in hockey the federations get one quotas and the rest are awarded by ranking one person that doesn't know this wouldn't understand why Europe gets so many and others don't. It is clearer if the numbers appear. --M&m89 (talk) 12:53, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm someone who contributes to the Dutch Wikipedia, and I saw that Caomhan27 has been updating these two flags for over ten times in the last few weeks. I'm really astonished, because he's making a mess of these flags and nobody does anything. I don't have an account on Commons, so I can't intervene. I asked on his Users Talk to stop doing this, but he just deleted my reaction, as he did with several others. So my question is: can you stop him, can you change the hockey flag back into this one (you can check www.fih.ch, where you can see this is the only correct flag), or if not, who should I contact to do so? 87.64.182.28 (talk) 18:14, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your message I took it on board the previous versions were due to my unfamiliarity with software, I also created the flag your link shows the one you liked so much and asked to revert to, I am in process of updating the quadrants to the new versions which took a while to get right, perhaps instead of attempting to knock someone elses work you should make an account and make and upload your own version, very easy to complain. Also what exactly is your issue with the four provinces flag2 I created the pages detailing the history of each provincial flag and every version since 2007 the current version is historically accurate and much improved detail wise, what exact details in my previous inferior versions are you nostalgic for. Caomhan27 (talk) 19:29, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
The Four Provinces Flag isn't my biggest concern, it's the hockey flag which was correct and now isn't anymore. I repeat my question: change it back into the old version, which was correct, as it sill is being used by the Fédération International de Hockey. 87.64.182.28 (talk) 19:50, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Not exactly a question, I would say that the federation are simply currently utilizing the flag which i created, however I understand your "question" as i said prior and will shortly upload a version in my old format however with the updated correct updated crests of each province. I hope this will help make your day a little better.Caomhan27 (talk) 20:00, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

The 1800's is called the 19th century in English, as you have to account for the years 0-99 (1st century) in the order of centuries... I changed it to 1800's to make it more clear for you. Jmansker (talk) 18:44, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
In the competition section of “Badminton”, it has stated how BWF categorized international competitions into four levels. Well, while such categorization is indeed made by BWF, it’s also a simplification of how BWF grades international tournaments. Based on the number of points awarded to participants and winners of different tournaments, there are actually 8 categories of tournaments. Because only the 10 highest points scored in tournaments count, you cannot get a higher rank by only winning the competitions of lower levels. While the winners of World Championships can be officially called “World Champion”, a player can only be World No. 1 player if he does well in Superseries Premier and Superseries; sometimes even competitions of lower levels help. The points awarded to Superseries Premier winner is close to World Championship or Olympic Games winner, with the difference of 1000 points. However, there are 5 Superseries Premier events and 1 Super Series Finals but only 1 World Championship. That’s why although the long-time World No. 1 men’s singles player Lee Chong Wei never became a World Champion, still remains World No. 1 for most of the time from August 2008 – August 2013.
I do think that Wikipedia article is necessary to be concise and accurate at the same time. That’s why I think the simplified categorization of tournaments makes sense in the article of “Badminton” but the reader has the right to know more detail on how BWF specifically classifies each tournament. For the sake of simplicity, you can call both Superseries Premier tournament and Superseries tournament as level-2 tournaments; but winning Superseries Premier event is obviously different from winning Superseries event as the ranking points awarded as well as prize money are different. As a matter of fact, even within all 5 Superseries Premier tournaments, they are not considered equal. The All England Open Championship is considered the most prestigious even though they all give the same ranking points but different prize money.
The same can be said for BWF World Ranking; it’s also a simplification of how BWF compares the strength of each player for the past 52 weeks. It does not tell how much difference the ranking point earned by each player. The World No. 1 Player and World No. 2 Player can have very close ranking points or a huge difference in ranking points. It’s related to BWF World Ranking because in there we can know how BWF specifically classifies tournaments of different levels. Thljcl (talk) 00:29, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
What about tennis? It does have a section of best male/female players according to World Ranking. In the case for male tennis players, the ranking is made by Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP); other rankings do exist but ATP rankings is generally considered official ranking. In the case for female tennis players, the rankings is made by Women’s Tennis Associations. I don’t think we can have a section of best male/female players in the history based on World Ranking because of the lack of data. The official web site of BWF only has the data from the year 2009 onwards. BWF World Ranking actually exists since 1980s. Before that no official ranking exists. The ATP rankings begins since 1973. There are many similarities between ATP rankings and BWF rankings. The “Grand Slam” gives the most ranking points but there are more lower-level tournaments; only the six best scores in the tournaments are counted. Unlike BWF rankings, Olympic Games actually gives fewer ranking points compared with other higher-level tournaments. I would like to have the “best male/female players” sections but there is insufficient data currently. The reasoning behind World Ranking is that you need to do well consistently in many high-level tournaments to be considered “World No. 1” if you ever get the No. 1 rank. Why do you compare it with soccer and hockey? They are totally different games. Tennis is different from Badminton as well, but they are both racquet sports. One of the best players in the history “Morten Frost”, who is former World No. 1, has consistently remains at top 3 for 12 years. He won 4 All England titles but not World Championship. He has been induced to the Badminton Hall of Fame by BWF. But I do not know how his ranking or ranking point changes over his career. Clearly, with the help of computer and hopefully rising interests toward Badminton in the future, the next generations would be able to have “best male/female players” section. As I said earlier, referring to BWF World Ranking is also to give more information about how BWF categorizes international tournaments. If you think it’s more related to BWF but not badminton, perhaps you should remove the categorization of international tournaments to “level 1, 2, 3, and 4” from “competition” as well. Thljcl (talk) 05:33, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
I did not make any assumption on who is the greatest player; it is not my theory either. I merely try to include World Ranking just as the article of “Tennis”. It’s a pity that badminton has not gained much popularity compared with tennis. Don’t get me wrong. Tennis is certainly an interesting sport to me.
Currently, BWF web site has only the World Ranking from the year of 2009 onwards. To be honest, World Ranking does not indicate who will win the match or is the “greatest player” in the absolute sense per se. Judging from ranking method, which is similar to ATP rankings, it’s fair to say that BWF makes its ranking based on the overall performance in 52 weeks in a series of tournaments of various levels, rather than a single tournament. I just want to make my points here and try to be objective as I know Wikipedia is not the place for original research. It’s true that “Badminton” is a generic article. Then how on earth that the world of professional badminton players is somehow unrelated to “Badminton”? Judging from your attitude, it’s perhaps not surprising to me that you are not exactly open-minded. It’s also strange that you say that BWF is unrelated to badminton; when the rules of badminton are actually made by BWF.
As a matter of fact, BWF has published “Handbook II – Laws of Badminton and Regulations” on an annual basis at http://bwfbadminton.org/page.aspx?id=14915. This handbook has 12 sections. In particular, “Section 1A” tells how badminton should be played. That said, of course you have your own rules when you play with your friends. “Section 1 B Appendix 6” tells how the World Ranking System works. Realistically speaking, any competition can has its winner but there could be somebody of higher level who does not compete in that competition. While it’s not wrong to determine the world’s greatest players according to BWF World Ranking, such ranking, in fact, can only tell the best players who actually compete in BWF-graded tournaments. Likewise, the “greatest male tennis players” are also for those who compete in ATP-graded tournaments, such as “Grand Slams”, “ATP World Tour Finals”, “Masters 1000”, etc. I welcome healthy and constructive conversation to make the Wikipedia article better. Please don’t get emotional. Thljcl (talk) 17:17, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at 2014 Asian Games shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

I'm Korean so I know many thing about 2014 Asian Games. Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at 2014 Asian Games, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Wooccu (talk) 06:08, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Can you please read Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation#How_to_handle_an_IP_attempt_to_create_an_article_in_Talk_space
If you have a solution, I'd like to hear it, but in my opinion, these articles are being deleted inappropriately. That's ultimately on the admin who makes the deletion, but I think the nominations should cease. Please. We are being extremely rude to editors attempting to contribute.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 14:40, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I've seen you are making some modifications on this template. I thought maybe you could see of doing something I don't know how to do it. When the AET is used, it appears at the right side of the score, example:
1 – 1 (a.e.t.)
Report
I thought it might look better like this, so that everything is centered:
1 – 1
(a.e.t.)
Report

This user Ohconfucius is changing absolutely everything in the hockey articles, without reason from my point of view. Do you think those changes make sense?

In attempting to correct breaches of WP:Linking and MOS:FLAG, I attempted to edit the template to remove the styling, which seems to have been achieved by using ((flag)). However, as an undesired side effect, the "host country" parameter now disappears entirely. I would appreciate it if you could make the necessary fix to render it compliant.

Hi - I was about to update the women's group A table for the IND-NZL match when it struck me that India and Canada would be tied on both points and goal difference so I was not sure who to put in front. Do India go in front because of their 4-2 win over Canada or is it a tied 3rd place for the time being? Thanks in advance. JZCL 17:00, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I appreciate your concern but I was only updating the no. of athletes confirmed till now and that only in just one sport. Their no. would have definitely increased in the future as soon as new sections and new athlete names are added or updated.
