[edit] Official name

While it may not be the most grammatical of names, the official name of the event and program is Relay For Life, not Relay for Life. It is trademarked that way for marketing purposes, the idea being that the capital f makes it stand out more. Is there a way to remove the redirect and send it back over there?

There should be a "move" tab at the top of the screen and an option that lets you overwrite redirects. I've done it for you now. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 20:39, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! Sorry, but I use a TTS reader, so sometimes finding things like that is a bit difficult. Thanks for being kind. Beginning 01:24, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:37, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A list or Relays?

Should there be a list of different locations where relays take place?

Probably not; such a list would be quite long and almost infinite. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of knowledge, and for such a common and widespread event as this one, a list is not appropriate. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:43, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Flcelloguy. There are simply far too many Relays to list, and the list itself changes constantly. New Relays spring up, old ones move to new locations, and the like. Even if Wikipedia were appropriate for this sort of thing, it would just be way too difficult. However, if there's a site that lists all or most of them on one easy page (as opposed to the ZIP Code search database the ACS offers), that would be wonderful to link.

I can offer one addition - You can find a list of event webpages at Relay For Life event webpages @ acsrelay.org organized by state and country (for outside the U.S.). I maintain this list on-line (it is NOT affiliated with the American Cancer Society). And as mentioned before, you can go to American Cancer Society Relay For Life page and search for an event anywhere in the U.S. too. rflvolunteer 01:45, 13 Nov 2006 (UTC)
