[edit] linking

How about when giving a link to a separate article, you use the spelling of that article in the link rather than changing it to your own preferred spelling, for example it would be Center (basketball) but Centre (France)

[edit] Centre Ice Hockey

  • Isn't refering to US English as "improper" POV? Maybe if you took the time to read some of the Wikipedia's rules on American VS British spelling you'd have scanned the part that says "leave it at what was originally there and DON'T start a freakin' culture war over it. Get a real problem...

[edit] Spelling proposal

Hi there, I notice that in this article there is a lot of activity about spelling that could be better channeled into the subject itself. You may be interested in this proposal to put an end to the problem. Thanks. PizzaMargherita 22:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Numbers, not bullets?

I think those numbers are supposed to be bullets and all the full stops should be removed

[edit] Why is center a redirect?

Why did center become a redirect to centre (geometry)? I did a bunch of un-dabbing for this and there were a LOT of articles that pointed to center (American football) and center (hockey), probably more so than to the geometry page. Metros232 23:41, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I just undabbed everything that was left. Basically there were a lot of "centres" - in hockey, football, basketball, rugby, politics, a region in France, algebra, directions, chinese philosphy... and so on and so forth. The only thing they have in common (and the root of the word) is that they are literally or figuratively at the centre of a shape (a sports field, the line of ideologies, the middle of France etc.), hence the redirect. If you think there's a better option then I'm open to it, but theres no clear winner for a "most popular redirect". Deizio talk 00:15, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Center (disambiguation) → center — The disambiguating suffix is superfluous. As long as center and centre lead to this list, it should be at one of those two titles. Stemonitis 16:51, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Support as "(disambiguation)" is unnecessary in the absence of a main center/centre article. –Pomte 02:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. I considered the possibility that Centre (geometry) might be the primary topic, but that doesn't seem to hold up when looking at the links. Dekimasuよ! 03:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I thought this qualifies as a speedy? I can't think of plausible situation where [Foo] should redirect to [Foo (disambiguation)]. See WP:DAB#Generic topic. Duja► 14:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
