I was in Austin when the Aztex moved to Orlando and was there when Orlando moved to Louisville. Louisville City is the continuation of the Austin Aztex and Orlando City SC, hence why I made the change that Louisville City was founded in 2008. Orlando City SC, also was not "founded" in 2010, as they were the relocated Austin Aztex. Dsides12 (talk) 22:17, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

What I've read is that Orlando did not relocate to Louisville, they just transferred their USL licence. If you compare 2014 Orlando City SC season#Roster with 2015 Louisville City FC season#Squad information you will see that there is no overlap between the two teams' rosters.

The rosters aren't the same because most of the Orlando players transfered over to MLS while the TEAM (and thus the license) moved to Louisville.Dsides12 (talk) 00:13, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Also, I think you are confusing the two Austin teams. The original Aztex FC relocated to Orlando before the founding of the current USL and the 2015 Aztex folded after 1 season in the USL. –BLAIXX 00:35, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

I'm not confusing the two Austin teams. The Austin Aztex FC (the first one) moved to Orlando for 2010. That Orlando City team moved to Louisvile to make room for the MLS Orlando City team. So Louisville City FC is a continuation of the two earlier teams, which began in 2008.Dsides12 (talk) 00:11, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

You are confusing the two Austin teams. Your recent edit to the "Former clubs" section of USL Championship indicates that Austin Aztex left USL in 2015 and "Moved to Orlando". This is clearly false. The first Austin Aztex never played in the USL (est. 2011) and are therefore not included in the "Former clubs" table. BLAIXX 00:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Dude---no one called Austin Aztex FC, Austin Aztex FC. Fact is the team moved to Orlando and that team moved to Louisville. THOSE ARE THE FACTS.Dsides12 (talk) 15:16, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Could you clarify which Austin Aztex you are talking about and what you mean by "no one called them that". If you are talking about the 2009 team, their logo says "Austin Aztex FC" right on it. For the rest of this discussion, could you please provide citations from reliable sources rather than insisting that you are correct? BLAIXX 16:35, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

hmmm...citations didn't atatch. As for the 2009 Aztex, it may of been on the logo, but we never mentioned the FC part. We only called them Austin Aztex. Anyway here are the links to the club progression:

Austin to Orlando to Louisville. Very easy google search....I insisted I was correct because I was. There is something to be said for 1st hand knowledge.Dsides12 (talk) 23:29, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

UGH! It put the actual links on your GO Green section.Dsides12 (talk) 23:30, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Actually, per Wikipedia's policy of WP:No original research, 1st had knowledge is limited in its usefulness. Per WP:V, content should be "determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors." BLAIXX 23:43, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Are you the one who reverted Louisville FC to coming into the league in 2014 from their real year of 2008 as Austin Aztex FC? I put it back how it is supposed to be. The news articles are there.Dsides12 (talk) 20:58, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Just to put another fine point on it, on both Austin Aztex FC's and the USL Orlando City SC wikipages, there is a line on both about the team moving to the next city and becoming the next incarnation. From Austin Aztex FC: On October 22, 2010, an article was published that indicated that the team was likely to move to Orlando, Florida, for the 2011 season.[5] This was confirmed on October 25, as the team became Orlando City SC

From Orlando City SC: Orlando City's USL Pro license was acquired by minority owner Wayne Estopinal in June 2014. Estopinal moved the USL Pro team to Louisville, Kentucky, for the 2015 season, becoming Louisville City FC. The team became Orlando City's USL Pro affiliate, with James O'Connor becoming that club's manager.Dsides12 (talk) 03:52, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Hey. RE: the GO Green conversation, just wanted to emphasize that I'm not taking your points personally, I think we're having constructive debate. I'm also hoping, if we can't come to an agreement, that we get the perspectives of others. Cheers. --Natural R_X 21:30, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, I agree this discussion has been constructive. It's easy to misinterpret tone over text but when emotions run high, I try to remember we are debating something as trivial as which shade of green to use on Wikipedia! –BLAIXX 01:20, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Hate to pester, but just wondering if you had follow-up to my latest thoughts on the GO green conversation? Would like to hear from you on the template talk page. Thanks! --Natural R_X 19:59, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

I will try to reply soon, still thinking about it! –BLAIXX 01:40, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

FYI, I asked for a third opinion before going to full blown RfC. This is after soliciting comment from the main article and WikiProject Color, to no avail. I guess we must be nerding out on this so hard that no one is interested. --Natural R_X 19:40, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for doing all that, I appreciate it! BLAIXX 22:08, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Blaixx...my name is Will and I work for the Ottawa Fury FC as the web guy. Thanks for updating the Ottawa Fury page but the legal name has been changed from OSEG to Ottawa FC Limited Partnership...you can see it on the team's website.

Hi - thanks for the note about ridership. Good point about how it's only 8 months of the year. Might be better to switch the daily ridership, or increase it by 50% to get the annual ridership. Tompw (talk) 22:24, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

@Tompw: Or we could use the same field and put April-November 2018 as the year? Not sure if that's allowed. BLAIXX 22:51, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

I looked the gudiance at Template:Infobox_station. For the 'passengers' parameter, it states "Number of passengers using the station. In the reference, please make it clear if this figure is per day, per year, etc.". So I'm inclined to use daily ridership, so the "number" is something like "2,000", and the year remains "2018". I think that would be more meaningful. Tompw (talk) 19:03, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting that, was thinking USL League One when I assessed that lol. Jay eyem (talk) 05:32, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

No problem at all, it was a very minor thing! Thanks for your message, BLAIXX 14:40, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi there. Thank you for correcting the edit that I made on the Maple Leafs article. I was just updating the team leaders and I just assumed that Michael Hutchinson was the GAA leader since his GAA is 2.64. I never took the number of games played into consideration. Also, is there a minimum number of games that a goaltender has to play to be the GAA leader? This is just something for me to refer to in the future. Yowashi (talk) 17:57, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

@Yowashi: Thanks for you edit and comment here. I don't think there is actually a firm rule for minimum games played but I've seen 15% (about 12 games) used in the past. BLAIXX 21:09, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

I noticed that the sorting for the plus/minus on the Maple Leafs article was not working properly, which was why I added the organizer so that the sorting would work. Although, it appears that the sorting seems to work without the use of the organizer, so everything should be fine. I apologize for my actions. Yowashi (talk) 20:31, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

@Yowashi: No need to apologize! Wikipedia articles are an iterative process. You improved the article by added the sort templates and I think I improved it further. There are many kinds of dashes that look mostly the same but sort differently: - − – —. Check out MOS:MINUS and MOS:DASH for information on when to use which, if you're interested. BLAIXX 22:00, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

I've just closed your two RMs (1, 2). It's probably best to start a discussion laying out both sides (i.e. the debate history) on an appropriate project talk page and tag it with {{rfc}} to centralise the discussion. Many thanks, SITH (talk) 17:38, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll give that a go. BLAIXX 01:25, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2019–20 Toronto Maple Leafs season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tyler Ennis (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 13:54, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

It is okay that you modernise template like Template:ETS LRT navbox and Template:ETS LRT route, but could you please check the links you have created? Both articles have now two links to disambiguation pages and the new system is so user unfriendly and badly documented, that I fail to solve them. So please, fix the for me. The first has two links to Century Park station, the second one to Century Park station and one to Bay station. The Banner talk 15:56, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for catching that, it is fixed now. I should have tested the module more thoroughly before pushing it everywhere. The newer Lua modules are confusing if you're used to the classic Wikipedia template syntax. If you have any questions, I can try to answer them. BLAIXX 16:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

I had a hunch that Union Station's French name was "Gare Union," based on a picture of the departure board in the article. Well, my hunch was right, per Via Rail's official page. HangingCurve^{Swing for the fence} 21:11, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

HangingCurve OK fair enough, Via uses "Gare (de) ..." for many stations on their French website . I guess I don't see the purpose of listing the French name on English Wikipedia. It makes sense for railway stations in Quebec whose native names are in French, or other bilingual topics but not really useful for Union Station in Toronto (in my opinion). BLAIXX 01:03, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

There is a hidden error at Saburtalo Line#Transfers which I'm hoping you can fix. It is due to {{rcr|Tbisili Metro|1}} which gives 'template "Tbisili Metro color" does not exist'. I don't know what should happen to fix that. When fixed, the page will no longer be in the hidden Category:Pages with script errors. Johnuniq (talk) 03:37, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Oops. Looks like I made a typo, it should be spelled "Tbilisi". It is fixed now, thanks! BLAIXX 03:09, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I missed the tool I was aiming for. I was trying to check they were all mdy dates.Red Jay (talk) 15:07, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

No worries, I figured it was a just a mistake on a good faith edit. BLAIXX 11:41, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Hey, that link you provided as well as other sources, they all say reports. So it is not official at this point. Suden13 (talk) 00:13, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

hey buddy i was trying to add the home and away records for each team for this season,ive added home and away for each indoor season and when i got to this seasons page i couldnt figure out how to just add a column for home/away so instead i created a whole new wiki-table for it (Floridaboy321 (talk) 20:02, 5 October 2019 (UTC))

Howdy. Would you please stop making the 2017 CFL season article different from all the other CFL season articles. Look them over & you'll notice they all have the 'league season' style infobox. GoodDay (talk) 03:08, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Checking the article's history, I see that it was you who changed the infobox, in 2018. Why did you do it for only that one CFL season article? GoodDay (talk) 03:32, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

IF you want to promote the 'new' infobox, then you should be applying it to the 2019 CFL season article, which would be getting more views these days. GoodDay (talk) 03:34, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the work consolidating the references on the HFX Wanderers chronicle page!

Lucky Strike (talk) 13:14, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Hey. I think I completely messed up those moves - thanks for reverting! I'm having difficulty making Nashville SC the new page for Nashville SC (MLS). The old Nashville SC page seems ok now, going to Nashville SC (2018-19). Any help appreciated. UncleTupelo1 (talk) 14:27, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

@UncleTupelo1: Take a look at WP:RMTR. There you can request "Nashville SC (MLS)" be moved to "Nashville SC". BLAIXX 14:52, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

I didn't realize you were fixing things up. I'm trying to get the link to King in the infobox in Union Station (Toronto) working. If you can get it to work, great.

I'll stop working on it now. Let me know when you are done. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:51, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

@Davidwr: thanks, I think I put out the fires. This module still needs to be fixed up a bunch before any more articles use it. I am going to take an editing break for now. BLAIXX 16:06, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. My main concern was the Category:Pages with script errors and other error-category fires. From there I got distracted by disambiguation links. Then I started tripping over your edits. Thanks for your work. I'll resume patrolling error-categories. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:37, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Blaixx. I noticed you partially reverted my edits, as you prefer the names Trillium Line and Confederation Line. My understanding is that from late 2014 to September 2019, O-Train Line 2 was marketed as "O-Train Trillium Line" in advertising materials, text-to-speech bus announcements, etc. Since September 2019, however, the announcements use "O-Train Line 1" and "O-Train Line 2", or "Ligne 1" and "Ligne 2" in French. This is also true for station signage. While I would prefer numbers over full names, I will leave your changes intact for now, but due to Line 2's upcoming closure, I have changed "Confederation Line issues" to "O-Train issues". I plan to update the section accordingly. Please feel free to message me if you'd like to share your thoughts on this. --LABcrabs (talk) 20:53, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

@LABcrabs: thanks for the ping! I changed it to Confederation and Trillium because those are the titles of the articles on Wikipedia and because they are the WP:COMMONNAMES of the lines. I think it is less confusing for the reader to consistently use the same set of names rather than switching back and forth. OC Transpo may prefer the line numbers but Wikipedia generally prefers names used by "independent, reliable English-language sources". Based on my research, news outlets always use the line name in article title and only sometimes mention the number in the body. BLAIXX 21:25, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Bank station (OC Transpo). The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 June 14#Bank station (OC Transpo) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:05, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

No, saying "other than" rather than "rather than" was just a brain fart. Thanks for fixing it. Guy Harris (talk) 05:53, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

The source says the legend on the Seal of the Senate of Queen's University says: "SIGILLUM SENATUS UNIVERSITATIS REGINAE APUD REGIODUNUM". "Universitatis" is the genitive form of "universitas": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/universitas#Latin. In other words, "Universitatis Reginae Apud Regiodunum" means "of Queen's University at Kingston", and the whole legend reads literally "Seal of [the] Senate of University of Queen [=Queen's University] at Kingston [=Regiodunum]". "Universitas" is the nominative form while "universitatis" is the genitive. D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 05:50, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

So the reason why I was disambiguating those Montreal Impact links, even though they're WP:NOTBROKEN is because I've been going through the list at pages that link to Montreal Impact and about 35% of the links are broken and actually should go to the original Impact. I was using Montreal (2012-2020) since the other one is Montreal (1992-2011) and it easier and quicker since I just swap the dates, rather than switching back and forth with cf montreal. I know technically them staying at the base Montreal Impact is fine, I just find it easier to fix the incorrect impact ones by whittling down the entire list. Also, I figure that eventually down the line in a couple years, Montreal Impact will eventually become a disambiguation page, like Ottawa Fury, so I'd just be doing the work way too early.

Thanks for the explanation. My preference would be to with bypass the redirect completely or to not change anything at all (unless Montreal Impact does turn into a dab page) but I won't stand in your way. BLAIXX 19:28, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Why is alphabetical order preferred in Template:2020–21 NHL North Division standings when it's easier to select an entire row and drag it? Tampabay721 (talk) 04:02, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

@Tampabay721: When using team_order, it's easier to compare diffs because the rows don't move. Mostly it's a personal preference of mine. Since you're a frequent editor of the NHL standings templates, feel free to change it back. Thanks, BLAIXX 15:13, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey Blaixx, I saw your edit regarding naming Either having it named by the season Season: 2019, 2020, 2021" or the "Draft: 2018, 2019, 2021. I definitely see what you mean by that and having it go 2019, 2020, 2021 makes it look uniform and does match up with the following season it doesn't look 'right' in the sense when I compare the draft pages of the MLS draft it has the year it was held as that draft's 'Draft Year' (seen here in the SuperDraft wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLS_SuperDraft).

I think having it as the following season as well potentially misleads, as there wasn't technically a 2020 CPL-U Sports Draft that year.

Would like your thoughts on it, maybe I'm just looking at the situation differently. Excuse any errors if this is in the wrong spot or anything I'm still relatively a novice when it comes to more extensive editing aside from the Minor Edits on pages.

Thanks.

Doucet3 — Preceding undated comment added 05:00, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

@Doucet3: Thanks for creating this discussion. Here or at Talk:CPL–U Sports Draft are both good places for this discussion. I think you've summarized thing well. On one hand, it looks weird to have a gap in 2020 when in fact the draft has been held every year but on the other it would be weird for the link text to be different than the page title (e.g. 2019). There's no right way to do this but one idea would be to create another column so we can link to both the draft (with the proper year) and the season that the draft applies to (example below). My other preference would be to list the drafts 2018, 2019, 2021. What are your thoughts? BLAIXX 23:33, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
