April 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm Ryulong. Your recent edit to the page The Amazing Race 22 appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. We are going off of the actual locations visited in the task. It does not matter what municipality owns the railway stations, if it's located in "Kleine Scheidegg" then we call it "Kleine Scheidegg" and not "Lauterbrunnen". —Ryulong (琉竜) 05:43, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because the stop in London wasn't counted and because it's just a hell of a lot easier. Perhaps on that other article you mention we shouldn't have the two of them either.—Ryulong (琉竜) 03:05, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Going from Northern Ireland to England is staying within the same nation (the UK). Going from Denmark to Germany is going between different nations. Also, when you post on my talk page, use the "New section" tab and sign your posts. Do not just jam your message at the top of my user talk.—Ryulong (琉竜) 04:49, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Back Up[edit]

First of all, I apologize the do not see the guildline on the top at first. Plus I'm a newbie editor, so I'm still learning how to use the editing tools here.

Then, this is a completely BS. Sorry for my language. Do you understand what does a constituent country mean?

Constituent country is a term sometimes used in contexts in which a country makes up a part of a larger political entity, such as 
a sovereign state. (Constituent country)

For example:

Leg 1 (United States → French Polynesia, France)
Los Angeles (Los Angeles International Airport) to Motu Mute, Bora Bora, French Polynesia , France (Bora Bora Airport) (TAR 22)

"In 2004, the French overseas collectivity of French Polynesia was legally designated as a pays d'outre-mer au sein de la République,
translated as an 'overseas country inside the Republic'." (Constituent country)

French Polynesia is a constituent country of France, so there's not point to name the title as France instead of French Polynesia.

Leg 10 (Germany → Scotland, UK)
Berlin (Berlin Tegel Airport) to Edinburgh, Scotland , United Kingdom  (Edinburgh Airport) (TAR 22)

Even though in Leg 10, the editors will italic the word United Kingdom and put Scotland in front of the UK. The reason behind this is to specify which country they are going to. The show had specified that the teams are going to Scotland but NOT United Kingdom, same as Northern Ireland and England in this season.

In the Family Edition aka TAR 8, the editors have specified the states that the teams visited but not simply put United States into the title 
of every leg.
Leg 1 (New York → New Jersey → Pennsylvania)
Leg 2 (Pennsylvania → Washington, D.C. → Virginia)
Leg 3 (Virginia → South Carolina → Alabama)
Leg 4 (Alabama → Mississippi → Louisiana)
Leg 5 (Louisiana → Panama)
Leg 7 (Costa Rica → Arizona)
Leg 8 (Arizona)
Leg 9 (Arizona → Utah)
Leg 10 (Utah → Wyoming → Montana) (TAR 8)

P.S. You are not the only editor responsible for this page nor you own this page, so don't think you have absolute right and others are wrong. Consider the comments and suggestions from other editors and TAR fans. I'm here because I am trying to make the page better since I'm a die-hard TAR fan, but not because I have too much time and spend some to argue with you here. Have a good day.—RiceEater93 (talk) 05:31, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Adding "United States" or "USA" to every leg in Family Edition is not necessary because they pretty much only went throughout the USA. We have a similar set up for Corrida Millionaria when they went through just Brazil, but then suddenly went to Chile. The stop in England is so insignificant, but because people are demanding it be included, it's just easier to combine the mentions of the two under the "United Kingdom" moniker because England isn't the focus of the episode.—Ryulong (琉竜) 05:56, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
