Timeline

[edit]

The article says that in the case of a draw, the holder retains the trophy, and so there is no reason why any part of the timeline should be marked black for a draw. A draw is not the holder of a trophy for a year or more. The timeline appears in an article called Trans-Tasman Trophy and, in the absence of any other indication of its scope or purpose, can only be assumed to be a timeline of the team in possession of the trophy. If it is intended to be a timeline of the results of matches between the teams, it should be in an article entitled History of Australia-New Zealand Test cricket rivalry or similar, or at least have some indication of its function. The Rambling Man's reversion of my removal of draw periods seems illogical. Kevin McE (talk) 22:09, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As I noted in the edit summary, it’s a timeline of results, not holders. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:56, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But the edit summary is not part of the article, therefore not something that the article's readers will see, and the article is not History of Australia-New Zealand Test cricket rivalry. It makes no sense for a timetable of test series results to be in the middle of an article on a trophy, and it makes no sense to say that a draw endured for a year.

Since I wrote most of the article and included the timeline, I think I know what is meant by it. I’ve amended the section heading, to help with your confusion. Cheers now. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:01, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OWN. I am trying to improve the article, by making the timeline in it refer to the subject of the article, and to remove the illogical presentation of a draw as something that lasts for a year. Are you willing to address the content of the matter rather than your own initial, and initially hidden, intention? Kevin McE (talk) 15:45, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I’m not owning anything, just telling you what the intention of the timeline was when I added it and which was reviewed by quite a few people at FLC without any issues at all. So no, there’s no consensus in favour of your version, so I’ll leave it as it is. Cheers though! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:04, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
