Four-digit years[edit]

@Drmies: Hi! Actually, it looks terrible, imo. The tables are formatted like that for a reason. Otherwise the columns are too wide. --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:48, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Moscow Connection, I don't know what you mean, what you think looks terrible. What I know is that the MOS does not seem to like/prefer/allow two-digit ranges. See the user's talk page. Drmies (talk) 03:51, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Drmies: Yes, I see now that you simply reverted Leafs-fall-around-me. But in this particular article he was right because two-digit abbreviations are how the "competitive highlights" tables are rutinely formatted. See "Javier Fernández (figure skater)#Competitive highlights", for example. You wouldn't want to double the table's width, would you? (I'm talking only about the "Competitive highlights", not about the "Detailed results".) --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:02, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Moscow Connection, I tried to limit my rollbacks to those edits. Please note that the user did not respond--but note also what the MOS says. I see nothing about tables on Wikipedia:WikiProject Figure Skating/Manual of Style, certainly nothing that would override the MOS. Drmies (talk) 15:20, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Drmies:The goal was to clean up pages in figure skating history, making the results uniform with what is considered the "norm", look at any high profile skater, such as Javier Fernandez's page as mentioned previously, and you'll see their results are in two-digit years. I was also adding in if the skater was a former competitor if they were no longer actively competing in the sport. And adding TBD to skater's future competitions ensures that if they disappear from the entry list there is a record of it so you can say they withdrew.Leafs-fall-around-me (talk) 22:54, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • Leafs-fall-around-me, I understand what you were going for, but the thing is that what's on the Fernandez page is not compliant with the MOS. I am not going to go around changing that in that article, but the very fact that it's not MOS-compliant means you shouldn't make those changes--and what do I see? You are still doing it.

          • Leafs-fall-around-me, you should not annoy Wikipedia admins. I think you'd better stop and open a discussion here →→→ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Figure Skating. (I thought about notifying the project but then thought that there weren't many people there anyway.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:29, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • Btw, I would actually prefer using slashes ("20/21"). --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:33, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • "What I know is that the MOS does not seem to like/prefer/allow two-digit ranges."
      — Btw, these aren't ranges. (If I understand correctly what a range is.) These are seasons. I would personally use slashes instead of dashes. But I'm not really active in the topic area, so when I created figure skating articles, I just followed the perceived "norm". --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:42, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      Or maybe I didn't →→→ "Irina Liuliakova". --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:46, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • The ISU uses slashes and two-digit years → Anna SHCHERBAKOVA. --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:00, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
