Notability of Hershey Country Club

A tag has been placed on Hershey Country Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -LelandRB (Chat · contribs) 23:16, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
List of UEFA Super Cup winners
I've noticed you've undone some of my changes, I would just like to point out a couple of things. The one long table thing is ok in principle but for the match in the middle I split it for, it was because the table headings don't apply. Who's the home team at a neutral venue. As for the c1. c2, c3 issue. Whilst it is explained how you qualify it doesn't identify which team is which. For the single match finals having the sortable c# field I put in allows a sort to see if winners of the champs league win the super cup more etc. Just thought I'd mentioned this, I hope we can work together and not trip over each other on this. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 13:07, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- Whilst I would prefer to use just colours instead of the c# notation i'm not overly fond of WP:Colours doesn't allow info to only be conveyed with colour. The c# was the best notation I could think of. Feel free to use something better if you can think of it. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 13:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that sounds good to me. Whatever symbol you want †, ¤, * and # are taken, but if you can find some other suitable ones thats fine. I just used the c's because it's kinda standard euro football notation for the cups. With the single matches in the double era, 1986 is the only problem one as it was held at a neutral venue. The others I've done in a way which hopefully adequately explains. I wouldn't move the 1986 match to the single match section as it stops them being default cronologically ordered. Is there any harm in having it split like I did before. It's not like it sorts anyway. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 13:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- I'll agree to disagree. I personally think it would be okay to split it, as it gives the appropriate headers and makes it more obvious that it is different but am happy to wait for others opinions at PR/FLC. Have you had any ideas on how to go about marking the method of qualification yet. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:02, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- Suggestion, before colouring every cell would it perhaps be better just to colour the "Team A won on aggregate 1-0" cell, as then you reduce to colours, blue background doesn't conflict with bold and blue links in those cells, and you can still work out how the other team qualified from information given in the lead.

Just thought I'd get your input of what else needs doing. I managed to (eventually) find the ones missed from the by club and nation tables, and I think it is all looking in pretty good order now. My only concern is that the blue links of the locations looks a bit messy, shall we just link them all like the others e.g. List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners. Also did you want to take it to peer review, or were you planning to go straight to FLC? Rambo's Revenge (talk) 21:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Peer review
Thanks very much for you work at Peer review - just a heads up though. Ealdgyth tries to review sources and refs on all potential FAC articles. Since they are going to FAC, they need to be reviewed on areas besides just their refs, so I do not remove them from the backlog list if the whole review is just refs (or just photos). So I will add some comments to William Hanna later and would not have removed it yet. This is not a big deal - just wanted to let you know, take care and keep up the good work, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Re: Peer Review
Thanks you very much for your work at Wikipedia:Peer review/Czech Republic national football team/archive1, but could you please elaborate a bit on your requests for the fan section and statistics section - once again, thank you // Finns 17:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
I've just Peer Reviewed the list now. I hope it has picked out a few problems you didn't notice. I took a look at your other golfing list work and you've done a really good job. Well done. Personally I think the lead photos you have on the right hand side of them could be a little bigger but I suppose it's all down to personal preference and how it displays on you screen. I'm from the north-west but I am so ignorant that I didn't realise last year's Open Championship was in Southport! Ah well. From one Koppite to another - I'm currently working on expanding Xabi Alonso (up to 2006 now) so I'll be sure to tell you when I'm going to take it to peer review if you're interested. Keep up the good work and I'm watching your OC champions peer review for responses. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 14:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Max Rufus Mosley (born 13 April 1940) is president of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), a non-profit association that represents the interests of motoring organisations and car users worldwide. The FIA is also the governing body for Formula One and other international motorsports. Mosley is a former barrister and amateur racing driver, and a founder and co-owner of March Engineering, a successful racing car constructor and Formula One racing team. He looked after legal and commercial issues for the company between 1969 and 1977. In the late 1970s, Mosley became the official legal adviser to the Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA), the body which represents the Formula One teams. In this role he drew up the first version of the Concorde Agreement, which settled a dispute between FOCA and the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA), the governing body of Formula One. Mosley was elected president of FISA in 1991 and became president of the FIA, FISA's parent body, in 1993. Mosley has identified his major achievement as FIA President as being the promotion of the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP or Encap), a European car safety performance assessment programme. He has also promoted increased safety and the use of green technologies in motor racing. In 2008, Mosley retained his position after stories about his sex life appeared in the British press. Mosley is the son of Sir Oswald Mosley, former leader of the British Union of Fascists (BUF), and Diana Mitford. He was educated in France, Germany and Britain before going on to attend university at Christ Church, Oxford where he graduated with a degree in physics. In his teens and early twenties Mosley was involved with his father's post-war party, the Union Movement (UM). He has said that the association of his surname with fascism stopped him from developing his interest in politics further, although he briefly worked for the Conservative Party in the early 1980s.

Article of the month - 1995 Pacific Grand Prix, new Featured Article
![]() The 1995 Pacific Grand Prix (formally the II Pacific Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 22, 1995 at the TI Circuit, Aida, Japan. It was the 15th race of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 83 laps, was won by Michael Schumacher for the Benetton team after starting from third position. David Coulthard, who started the Grand Prix from pole position, finished second in a Williams car, with Damon Hill third in the other Williams. Schumacher's win confirmed him as 1995 Drivers' Champion as Hill could not pass Schumacher's points total with only two races remaining. Hill started the race alongside Coulthard on the front row, amidst pressure from the British media for not being "forceful" enough in battles. Schumacher attempted to drive around the outside of Hill at the first corner, but Hill held Schumacher off as Jean Alesi, driving for Ferrari got past both on the inside line to take second position. As a result, Hill dropped down to third and Schumacher dropped down to fifth behind Gerhard Berger. Schumacher managed to get past Alesi and Hill during the first of three pit stops. This allowed him, on a new set of slick tyres, to close on Coulthard who was on a two-stop strategy. Schumacher opened up a gap of 21 seconds by lapping two seconds faster per lap than Coulthard, so that when his third stop came, he still led the race.

Article of the month - 2008 Belgian Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate
![]() The 2008 Belgian Grand Prix (formally the LXIV ING Belgian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on September 7, 2008, at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa, Belgium. It was the 13th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 44 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team, after the initial winner, McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, was penalised for cutting a chicane and gaining an advantage over Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen. Hamilton started from pole position alongside title rival Massa. Hamilton's McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen started from third next to the 2007 winner Kimi Räikkönen. Following a spin by Hamilton on the second lap, Räikkönen led the race, until rain fell on lap 41 and Hamilton performed the penalised pass. Räikkönen crashed in the following lap as rain started raining heavily. Massa finished second on the road after Hamilton, followed by Nick Heidfeld of BMW Sauber. Hamilton received a drive-through penalty, which demoted him to third place and advanced Massa and Heidfeld to first and second positions. McLaren appealed the decision at the FIA International Court of Appeal. Their case, however, was judged inadmissible, with the Court ruling that drive-through penalties cannot be challenged. The penalty created a large amount of criticism from the global press, mainly from the United Kingdom and Italy, with several former drivers questioning the decision. Massa's retrospective win, with Hamilton demoted to third, narrowed the gap in the Championship from six points to just two.

List of World Rally Championship Drivers' Champions
Hey. I expanded the article with the same target after future improvements, and besides the refs, I don't think your edits have aided the article's path into a featured list. Look around motorsport articles; there are no "country" columns. If it is your personal preference to have a separate column for flags, you need to stop inserting it into articles and discuss about it somewhere such as WT:MOTOR. I'm pretty sure this idea will be opposed, because current practice shows current consensus in this case. Secondly, why are you changing precise wikilinks into direct section links that get broken very easily, and prevent newly created separate articles from being automatically linked to? Read WP:R#NOTBROKEN. Third, why are replacing the cars' official entry names and correct models with self-coined or less precise names ("Impreza WRX" is even a factual inaccuracy, as is claiming that Biasion only drove HF 4WD in 1988)? Prolog (talk) 02:59, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- Where did you get the idea that a country column is a requirement for a featured list? It certainly is not, and I found four motorsport related featured lists and none of those has it. The column has very little use, is not found in similar articles, unnecessarily widens the table (always a problem for lower resolution screens) and shouts at the reader in capital letters such as "FIN" and "SWE". Whether you personally find the redirects annoying or not, redirects with possibilities should never be replaced with target page links and the guideline is clear on that: Do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken. Prolog (talk) 02:08, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
table centering
I agree that the numerical columns in List of men's major championships winning golfers should be aligned center. My edit to the table produces the same result and saves about 1/4 of the article size. Don't these two tables look identical to you? They do to me.
My version:
Country | Golfer | Winning span | Masters | U.S. Open | The Open | PGA | Total |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Jack Nicklaus | 1962–1986 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 18 |
![]() |
Tiger Woods | 1997–2008 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 14 |
![]() |
Walter Hagen | 1914–1929 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 11 |
Your version:
Country | Golfer | Winning span | Masters | U.S. Open | The Open | PGA | Total |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Jack Nicklaus | 1962–1986 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 18 |

![]() |
Walter Hagen | 1914–1929 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 11 |
My version sets the default text alignment to center and then left aligns two columns (Country, Golfer). Your version uses the default of left align and centers six columns. With small tables it doesn't make much difference, but with large tables, like this one, my version saves a lot of space.
The other thing I changed was your {{sort|{{flag|USA}} to {{sort|USA|{{flag|USA}}}} - I'm not sure how your version actually works since it seems to be missing a set of "}}"'s.
I'll revert back to my version unless you give me a good reason not to.Tewapack (talk) 06:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
