* are commonly used in sports reporting stats

The use of the "*" is commonly used in reporting sports stats to denote a result that is controversial for one reason or another. This allows the result to stand, but informs readers there is further discussion in the sports community surrounding the result or want to suppress the controversy. In either case that controversy does not go away. By removing the "*" you demonstrate you are ignorant of the controversy surrounding the result. You're partially blocking me does not make the noted controversy go away. In fact the former team mates have recently filed suit in US court against U Penn concerning the very issue you are actively trying to suppress. I will be appealing the partial block on the grounds you are targeting me unjustly for mearly adding additional context to a sports stat that is in fact controversial. Good day to you.

You are welcome to put in an edit request to have the content re-added along with a well-sourced statement that can be added. Of course, one should note that her status as a transgender individual has already been established further up the page. By all means appeal your block, indefinite does not mean infinite.

IPA-xx

Please fix the 138 links to the 'unused' IPA-xx template you just deleted so that they both display the IPA and generate the ISO error category. There are 140 articles that need an ISO code, and only 2 of them now display in the error-tracking category, and those 2 don't display the IPA. — kwami (talk) 02:32, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. I fixed it.
This template should be deleted -- just as soon as the articles linking to it have actually been fixed, i.e. by someone who knows what they're doing. [That dig isn't aimed at you, but at the editor who keeps adding the wrong ISO codes because they can't be bothered to do it correctly.] — kwami (talk) 02:50, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will wait (again) for the transclusion count to hit zero. Apologies for the hassle, every time I looked it wasn't transcluded so I assumed the task was complete. Primefac (talk) 12:17, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. We've cleared out 80% from the first time, and many of the remaining are pretty obvious, so hopefully it won't be very long — kwami (talk) 17:07, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Transclusion count shows zero again; is this finally sorted? Primefac (talk) 14:23, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, there's still 105 articles. User Gonnym gave them all wrong ISO codes again. That after people at wikiproject languages told them it was the wrong code, and that repeating someone else's error was not a valid reason for doing it purposefully.
Someone objected to the 'fix' tag that IPA-xx now uses, bu they can change that if they want. — kwami (talk) 19:26, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, all cleaned up. For the last one I just deleted the IPA; it appeared to be wrong anyway. — kwami (talk) 07:48, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the update and the work on this. Primefac (talk) 11:45, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AFC helper script request

Hi Primefac, could you please review my request on WT:AFC/Participants if you have the time to. It's been around 2 days since I requested TNM101 (chat) 03:11, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I only do AFCP reviews once a week, so please be patient. Primefac (talk) 14:04, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok sure no problem! TNM101 (chat) 15:08, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Primefac. Just a question about AfC, if drafts have been declined multiple times and have been resubmitted without improvement, is it possible to just reject them? In my first ever draft that obviously wasn't notable, some other editor came to the draft and submitted it for no reason. There, DoubleGrazing mentioned Resubmitted without any improvement, previous decline still stands. Fair warning: next time I will reject this outright, if evidence of notability is not provided. I was wondering if doing this was allowed TNM101 (chat) 16:57, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If the submitter is not showing any serious interest in improving the draft, specifically by resubmitting without making improvements, then rejection is not entirely unreasonable. Given that this was what appears to be a drive-by IP resubmitting without making any changes, I would probably recommend that DoubleGrazing reconsider the decline; outright removal of the last AFC template is probably reasonable here given that it is there only edit in the last two years. Primefac (talk) 17:26, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the reply. Wouldn't it be better if this was mentioned at Reviewing instructions#Rejecting submissions, so that new reviewers would also know TNM101 (chat) 17:30, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Might be worth discussing. Primefac (talk) 17:36, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, why do I need to reconsider the decline? All I was saying was that nothing had changed since the previous decline, ergo that decline was still valid. Which it was.
Or if it's my "fair warning" comment that is being objected to, then I'd be happy to strike that, alas I cannot. Besides, that comment was just pointing out that tendentious resubmissions (whether by drive-by IPs or anyone else) aren't a good idea as they will eventually cause the draft to be rejected outright. Which is true. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:52, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking that since it was a drive-by resubmission clearly not intended as a serious resubmission, just removing it outright would be reasonable. I'm not saying you have to do that, just saying that's what I'd do, and that as the reviewer you'd be the one to ask if that was a reasonable thing for you to consider. "Start the discussion" etc. Primefac (talk) 17:55, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
