"Fight of the Century" inclusion[edit]

Why isn't Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao, let alone boxing in general, included in this list? --WikiWinters (talk) 19:56, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

References and some Flagicons are not showing up in main topic[edit]

For some reasons, the reflist isn't showing... the template is there and seems correctly formatted to me, but the content is not displaying to the reader. Wittylama 11:04, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Now, some Flagicons are starting to become "blank." Rockies77 (talk) 20:25, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • A Wikipedia administrator typed me a message saying that this topic has too many templates and references. I would need help in slimming down all the unnecessary templates and references that is now overdone. Rockies77 (talk) 07:44, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • We don't need to show flag icons for the country or state of the venue. Flag icons should only be for teams and competitors. Kaldari (talk) 18:40, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • And should never be used in running text. (Well hardly ever.) All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:50, 21 July 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Use of summary style[edit]

This is by far the largest article in Wikipedia and is currently pushing the software to its limits (see above). Is there any reason this article isn't using summary style, per the guidelines? Kaldari (talk) 18:43, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ashes[edit]

Why is every test listed? Its the SERIES that matters not individual matches. (as in other sports)120.62.21.94 (talk) 23:16, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's with all the flag icons?[edit]

This list makes extensive use of US state flags/Canadian provincial flags for teams and athletes. This violates MOS:FLAGICON: "Flag icons may be relevant in some subject areas, where the subject actually represents that country or nationality" - which is not the case in domestic leagues or competitions. See also MOS:FLAGRELEVANCE: "Subnational flags (...) should generally be used only when directly relevant to the article." Please remove, or switch to regular US/Canadian flags. 162 etc. (talk) 18:05, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
