part in each respective article. But "man of the match" quite simply refers to a match, whereas MVPs are usually a full-season award, or an award for a very special series or game. I just feel that there should be overlap on this one, as it's not a clear-cut subject. Investigate the {{main}} template if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Since you're an admin on both Knowledge and Commons, I wonder if you might be interested in hosting a MainPage image protection bot. As I see it, the bot would only need to put mprotected on MainPage images and then set a 24 hour protection at Commons. I'm not a programming person, so I couldn't do

Thanks for the explanation on my talk page. I thought I had a reasonable knowledge of US Sport (or "Sports"!), and can't remember coming across the use of "finals". I just thought it was a mistake. I certainly knew the use of the term "Bracket" in the name of the template was US English. Now I know,

No big problem.. It's just that "MVP", "Man of the match", and all those individual awards pages are, in my opinion, for the most part legit in being individual articles. I agree many "MVP" pages should be featured as sections in the main MVP article, perhaps even the "Man of the match" playing a

After adding the San Francisco government articles to the SF template, I was thinking of adding a row for prominent events in SF history (The Mission, the Gold Rush, the two Pretty Big Ones, the Longshore Strike, the Freeway Revolt, the Moscone/Milk assassinations, etc.), but I think it might make

I saw you on the main page discussion and, even though i've been on wikipedia since early 2004, i'm still a n00b with regards on the administration processes. I'd like to discuss how an entry on the "in the news" template is worded. Where would I go to do this? Thanks in advance to you, or anyone
