Default sort tags
Can you please not place DEFAULTSORT for any article that begins in with a year, for example, 1987 Australian Touring Car Championship. Why? Well if you looked up Category:1987 in motorsport you would then find every article uselessly sorted by 1987, instead of sorted by Australian Touring... or the many other variations of article name.
Default sort is not intended for every article. So if you could please revert those changes that would be much appreciated. --Falcadore (talk) 04:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- You make a good point. This is one of the fixes that AWB does automatically, and I usually remove the change as it is inappropriate. I will be more vigilant in future. welsh (talk) 06:35, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of HMS Ambush (P418)
The article HMS Ambush (P418) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Unreferenced for nearly three years, fails verifiability policy. Nothing to indicate this was a notable ship.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Stifle (talk) 21:17, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
