Another RfC on capitalization of all our articles

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I thought this was a done deal back in this 2022 RFC but obviously not. A handful of editors did another rfc with no sports projects input at all. And it's being challenged because we just noticed it. This could affect almost every single tennis and Olympic article we have, and goodness know how many other sports. Some may have already been moved it you weren't watching the article. And not just the article titles will be affected but all the player bios that link to the articles. Sure the links would be piped to the right place if thousands of articles moved, but if the wording in a bio still said 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles or Swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metre backstroke that would likely need to be changed by hand. There is also talk of removing the ndash completely.

Perhaps this is what sports projects want and perhaps not. Either way I certainly don't want projects ill-informed as the last RfC was handled. Express your thoughts at the following rfc. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:54, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Rowing "National Championship" discussion; input requested

Latest comment: 5 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article List of NCAA schools with the most Division I national championships has counted the Jim Ten Eyck Memorial Trophy winner in its tabulation of "national champions" for rowing. That seems incorrect, given the recent headlines and accounting by the Seattle Times.

Input requested by those knowledgeable about collegiate rowing history to determine the correct years and trophies indicative of the national championship:
