I'd tried to make it look cooler as per my signature on Wikipedia, but didn't realise that the substitution template which I use to do that on Wikipedia doesn't exist on The Countdown Wiki. So I ended up looking like a tit. Yours with four tildes, Chris 'Crispy' Philpot 21:57, 27 June 2009 (BST) XD Four-tildedly, Countdown Kid 09:46, 28 June 2009 (BST) Wednesday recaps I agree with Howard, I think you'd do a great job with the Wednesday recaps. Countdown Kid 13:17, 28 June 2009 (BST) October's Featured Article Yay! Kai Laddiman 09:07, 3 October 2009 (BST) I concur. Well done Chris! Vande 15:08, 3 October 2009 (BST) Partial recaps Hi, I've noticed that you've removed a few episode pages from Category:Partial recaps. Please don't do so without checking that all the game data is there. Check that there is the full number of rounds for the format in use at the time. Check that every letters or numbers round includes both contestants' declarations (or a dash wherever there was no declaration). Check that the numbers rounds include the contestants' solutions where required by the game, and not just the declarations. -- Smjg 17:11, 28 October 2009 (UTC) Hi Stewart, Thanks for your message. I am a little confused as to where I have gone wrong - could you clarify which recaps I have removed from Category:Partial recaps in error? As far I am aware, I have only ever removed the rounds to check template from those recaps which I have personally gone through and compared to the original textual recap on the Countdown Database, round by round, with every single detail in place. With almost no exceptions, I've always highlighted recaps combed through in this way with the edit summary "Checked against the original recap." I'm not disputing that I might have made an error - I've checked so many recaps I probably have done one or two on autopilot - but perhaps you might just show me the specific edit(s) which you dispute. Thanks in advance, Chris 'Crispy' Philpot 22:04, 28 October 2009 (UTC) The ones I've noticed are ones where the category was added manually, not using the recap checking templates. Specifically, Episode 1868 and Episode 2162. As you'll see, the contestants' solutions to the numbers rounds are among the information missing from these. -- Smjg 00:45, 29 October 2009 (UTC) You're quite right, what a cock-up. Sorry mate! It won't happen again. -- Chris 'Crispy' Philpot 11:06, 29 October 2009 (UTC) Tournaments A while ago I mooted the idea of having a little Upcoming Tournaments box on the front page, so that people can just refer to the Wiki when they want to know if there is anything in which they can take part. Now that you are an editor, what do you think about this? There is still a little bit of space in the corner of the front page which would be ideal. Vande 11:14, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
