Shinty Articles
hi there - Several articles that are notable about shinty have been targeted for speedy deletion recently - plenty of references and links referring to their notability were included - I was wondering if you could help me get back Cornwall Shinty Club and Edinburgh East Lothian. the Lovat Shinty Club article has also been proposed. I am worried that this is trolling. I hope you can help me as I see you have an interest in sporting wikipages.

Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey.

Chennai FAR
Hi! The FAR for Chennai (review at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Chennai/archive2) has been ongoing for a while, and could use some comments to help wrap it up. Would you mind revisiting your comments on the page, and perhaps entering an opinion as to whether the article should be kept or delisted? Thanks! Dana boomer (talk) 14:00, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

RE: Copyvios on Indian Television articles
Hi! Could you please do a sample cleanup of some article and do all the necessary tagging and talk page posts you mentioned? I can then likewise take up others. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 08:08, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- Anthony F. Tonnos is an example of a recent cleanup by Moonriddengirl. You can do the same (in this case, she also hid the copyvio text using the revdel process). I'll look up my old work for some India related example soon as I've been away for a few months, but you might be able to find some at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Thisthat2011 or Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/Vrghs jacob. In many cases, revision deletion might not be necessary, but if you think it is needed, you can request at the copyvio talk page or me/MRG to do it (I'm not very active, so I won't be quick to respond). cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 08:24, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- Okay! This seems sufficient for now. I will get back in case i have some problem. Thanks! §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 08:39, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Did you have a look at pages similar to the above one. Something wrong has happened. —Vensatry (Ping me) 06:59, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- It must be some template vandalism or just an error introduced accidentally. I'll poke around, but if you can check the transcluded templates like sort or dts for any changes that'll be helpful, there are many many templates transcluded in these lists. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 07:22, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- It looks like the culprit is
{{dts}}, I'm not very comfortable with these templates, I'll leave a note on the talk page Template talk:Dts about this. —SpacemanSpiff 07:28, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
