Just wanted to say thanks for adding this tag to all the talk pages on the World Champs, must remember to do this myself...Thaf (talk) 07:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Is there a consensus of which I'm not aware?

I strongly prefer to use {{flagicon}} rather than {{flagathlete}} on the Vuelta pages, if only because it {{flagathlete}} causes the tables, when they're side-by-side, to become squished and malformed on my (and presumably others') screen. 21:26, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

WP:FLAGS says you shouldn't just use flags, for a number of reasons, primarily because flags can be difficult to see at low resolutions when all squished, people might not know them so it helps to give more clues, plus it helps blind people or colour blind people. It also provides the link to the country which makes the use relevant, not just decorative (which is viewed as bad in wiki-land). That's why we have {{flagathlete}}.

So am I doomed to squished boxes, then? That sucks. 21:31, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

You could play around with other aspects, for sure (such as reducing font size of team - but I would oppose reducing team names to three letter codes as it's overuse of jargon - or reducing the size of the whole table to 90% say). I was actually thinking of thrashing out a style guide for race pages so we can get a bit more uniformity on it all. Severo^TC 21:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I got it! If we eliminate the "Rank" label on the leftmost cell, the charts aren't so wide that they become malformed. Do you suppose it's okay to do this? Pretty obvious what that cell is for without the label. 21:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeh, that looks fine. In fact, I think it looks better, "Rank" made that column very wide considering the next widest value was "10". Severo^TC 21:54, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Image size

Would you know how to decrease the size of the image used in Template:UK-motorcycle-sport-bio-stub?Orsoni (talk) 04:42, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

It looks pretty standard to me (unless there's a bug with another browser??), but I've reduced it a little bit anyway. Cheers, Severo^TC 11:57, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Dai Davies

You have reverted an edit I made to Dai Davies (without even taking it to the talk page). I note that this is the only contribution you have made to this article and can only assume that you are WP:Stalking me. Coupled with the untrue and unwarranted accusation on the Geraint Thomas talk page that I am racist, you are contravening WP:Etiquette, at the very least. This stops here. I am going to revert your Dai Davies edit. Please do not make futher changes to my edits there, or elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daicaregos (talk • contribs) 13:40, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Assume what you like, linking to Wales three times in a paragraph is OTT. Severo^TC 14:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and I've been around a bit too long to try to intimidate. Any edits which I see that are a bit off, such as three links in a paragraph to the same article or foreign words which can be avoided, I will remove, as per guidelines, regardless of who made them in the first place.
