[edit] Darts tournament brackets

Nice job with those brackets on the PDC World Championship pages, I think there is only 2005 not in that format now. If you don't get chance to do that I'll get round to it in the next few weeks. Seedybob2 10:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] macrons in sumo et al

Hey Zeyes. We were aware that most sumo wrestlers did not have macrons for the long vowels in their names. One reason for this was that it followed the conventions used on the official English Sumo Kyoukai site. Another is because some of the major contributors live outside Japan and have not studied Japanese, and therefore cannot make a call on macrons or no macrons. Having said that, I think it give the articles more accuracy and style to have the correct macrons. Your other factual, style additions/corrections across the sumo article are also highly appreciated. Thanks. Malnova 20:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I just had the urge the tidy up that hodge-podge a bit since it was clear from the other sumo articles that macrons were intended to be used, and they really do help clear up some pronunciation issues I've observed among non-Japanese fans (even though I'm unlikely to use them myself when posting on Sumoforum etc...just too lazy). I didn't quite get done on the weekend, so I'll see if I can get to the rest of the active rikishi today - mostly the foreigners are left. I'll make sure that courtesy redirects are in place for everyone, i.e. one on the macron-less full name, and one on the short macron-less name as used by the Kyokai. Zeyes 13:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
