On this page, deletion of templates (pages in the Template namespace) is discussed. Templates are used to insert common blocks of text into multiple pages, for standardization.

 * For guidelines on acceptable templated text messages, see Template namespace.
 * For guidelines on acceptable article series or navigation boxes, see Categories, lists, and series boxes.

Templates that are nominated for deletion are discussed and voted on, preferably to reach consensus. Like WP:VfD, this forum is more about discussion than about voting, so please tell us why you vote in a certain way so that you may convince others. Templates that have been listed for more than seven days are eligible for deletion if either a general consensus to do so has been reached or no objections to its deletion have been raised. Such templates are then either unlisted and kept, or listed at the bottom for deprecation and deletion.

Archived discussions are logged per the instructions at Templates for deletion/Log, and are located at /Log/Deleted and /Log/Not deleted.

Listings
Please put new listings under today's date at the top of the section.

Pastry bag

A pastry bag (or piping bag in the Commonwealth) is an often cone- or triangular-shaped bag made from cloth, paper, plastic, or the intestinal lining of a lamb, that is squeezed by hand to pipe semi-solid foods by pressing them through a narrow opening at one end often fitted with a shaped nozzle, for many purposes including in particular cake decoration and icing. It is filled through a wider opening at the opposite end, rolled or twisted closed, and then squeezed to extrude its contents. Many differently shaped nozzles are used to produce cross-sections such as star, leaf, and flower-petal shapes; a simple circular nozzle makes round shapes and is also used for filling pastries such as profiteroles.

In addition to icing, pastry bags are commonly used to shape meringue and whipped cream, and to fill doughnuts with jelly or custard. They are used to form cream puffs, éclairs, and ladyfingers. Bags can also be used to shape savory foods such as filling for deviled eggs, whipped butter, and mashed potatoes (especially for Pommes duchesse).

Reusable bags are usually made from tightly woven nylon, polyester, rubber or waterproofed (plastic-coated) cotton. After use they are washed and hung to dry. A high-quality bag may last for many years.

Disposable bags do not require washing; they are typically made of inexpensive plastic. A plastic food storage bag may be used as a pastry bag. For small quantities and fine piping, a pastry bag can be made by rolling cooking parchment or wax paper into a cone, filling it, folding the wide end several times to close it, and then cutting the tip into whatever shape is desired. This is especially useful for small quantities of melted chocolate, since a very small hole can be cut and the bag can be discarded when it cools and becomes clogged.

Interchangeable tips usually come in sets; particular tips can often be purchased individually. They may be chrome-plated or stainless steel, or plastic. Each tip is cone-shaped, with a base too large to fit through the small opening in the bag; in some cases they are inserted through the larger opening before food is spooned in. If tips need to be interchanged without emptying the bag, they can be used with pairs of adapter rings: an inner ring is dropped inside the bag and pushed part way out the hole, a tip is slipped over the ring, then an outer ring is slipped over the tip and screwed onto the inner ring. Some inexpensive sets are of disposable plastic film with a drop-in ring and screw-on plastic tips (see image above). Many foods (including frosting and pressurized "spray can" whipped cream) can be purchased in disposable packaging designed to serve the function of a pastry bag.

Quotes
Question: Are the quotes on the pictures actually from the show or are they just the author's attempts to be funny? Kakashi-sensei 02:43, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know. Although I've never seen it, and at least one quote (Misty's about 'scrubbing her boyfriend's face) has to be fake, many of them (esp. those uttered by Team Rocket, Meowth, and Prof. Oak) seem to be in-character.  I'm going to be nominating this article for featured article status later based on this.  Almafeta 14:44, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I wrote those captions myself. I'm also the one who uploaded the pictures. - Nintendo Maximus —Preceding undated comment was added at 05:50, 28 June 2005.

Umm...
While I enjoyed the humor in this article and the captions... This isn't encyclopedic at all. It reads like a review, and the additional commentary isn't necessary. It'd fit better in a magazine, if I do say so myself. --Thorns Among Our Leaves 6 July 2005 17:32 (UTC)
 * I have to agree here. There's something wrong when the plot synopsis of Pokémon Live is longer and more detailed than that of the much more notable Avenue Q, which itself is arguably too long. This isn't helping the (justified, in my opinion) perception that there's way too much Pokémon info on Wikipedia as it is. Nightwatch／respond 21:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Mirror imaged
If anyone's interested in fixing it, that main cast photo is back-to-front, look at Team Rocket's shirts, their 'R' is mirror imaged. TR_Wolf —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.175.148.177 (talk • contribs) at 14:41, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Tour cancelled?
I remember seeing the show here in Belgium in 2002 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.176.252.9 (talk) 19:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Hmm. Is there any way you can verify this? Although I believe you, it doesn't seem right to modify an article based on one person's opinion. Cheers, Franklint (talk) 21:32, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

"...een bezoek gebracht aan de de show 'Pokémon Live' in het Sportpaleis in Antwerpen." "... visited the show "Pokémon Live" in the Sportpaleis in Antwerp" --81.242.105.31 (talk) 21:46, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * http://www.projectmagicbelgium.be/evenementen_pokemon.htm

 * Thank you 81.242.105.31! I am Dutch and I can confirm what you wrote. I guess this was some kind of Dutch version of the US show, similiar to what happened in Portugal. Too unnotable to be put in the article, however. Cheers, Face 12:46, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, changed my mind about that. I've put it in. I rather mention it than not mention it. Cheers, Face 21:16, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh that explains why I don't remember it being in English and me memory of understanding what they said. --91.180.138.179 (talk) 22:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Cover of the soundtrack
Hi guys. I've edited the page with a couple of updates as well as adding a link to the only available video, an old commercial for the show. I also uploaded the cover of original cast recording and put it on the page. Being a bit of a Wikipedia newbie, I couldn't decide whether to put it in the "Cast" section (the cover primarily features a picture of the cast), or the "Soundtrack" section. So far, I've put it in "Soundtrack" secion, as it seems more appropriate. So feel free to move that all around.

EDIT: I added a proper music theatre infobox to the page, and put the album cover in there, as well as some other info. If anyone knows the composer and lyricist (I've got a feeling there's more than one of both), please replace the "Unknown"s in the box. I also put a question mark after the "Cancelled" in the production list, in response to the post below this one. Also, does anyone have a copy of the picture that used to be at the start of the article with the cast and crew on it? It was removed because the source wasn't mentioned, but I'd really like to take a look. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklint (talk • contribs) 12:34, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Also, I was wondering how the original authors of the page got hold of a cast list. Does one of you have an old program of the show? If so, would you be at all willing to sell it? I'm rather obsessed with the musical, despite never having seen it :-). Send me a message if you'd be willing to part with your copy of the program (or, indeed, the CD).

Cheers, Franklint (talk) 11:35, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Assessment
I changed the MT project's assessment to Start. The article describes the performance history and has a lengthy plot summary (that needs to be tightened quite a bit), but does not have any information about the genesis of the show or the reaction of audiences (except to assert that critics largely ignored it) or the show's profitability. There is no analysis of the text or music. A classic "Start" class article. If a background section were created, and the productions section were separated from a WP:LEAD with an overview of the article, it would move up to C-class. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:20, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Alabama Slammers

The Alabama Slammers were a professional ice hockey team. They were a member of the World Hockey Association 2 and played their home games at Pelham Civic Center in Pelham, Alabama, a suburb of Birmingham. The Slammers were one of eight minor league hockey teams purchased or founded by real estate mogul David Waronker starting in 2003. By January 2007 all but one of those teams had ceased operations. They were coached to a 34-20-0-4 record, second in the league, by former NHL centerman Garry Unger. They were defeated by the Macon Trax in the semifinal round of the WHA2 playoffs.

The league folded after one season, with three of the remaining teams moving to the Southern Professional Hockey League, but the Slammers folded before making the move.

"Spanish version"
I have a dumb question. You just added a "Spanish version" to the article Antalya. Could you explain to me hou this helps people who only speak Spanish? The Spanish translation of that article seems quite short in comparison. Wouldn't a more up-to-date translation help them more? As you can see, a very naive question! Thanks.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:38, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

The 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike was the eighth and longest work stoppage in Major League Baseball (MLB) history, as well as the fourth in-season work stoppage in 22 years. The strike began on August 12, 1994, and resulted in the remainder of that season, including the postseason and the World Series, being canceled. This was the first time in ninety years, since 1904, that a World Series was not played. The strike was suspended on April 2, 1995, after 232 days, making it the longest such stoppage in MLB history and the longest work stoppage in major league professional sports at the time (breaking the record set by the 1981 strike, also in MLB).

As a result of the strike, a total of 948 games were canceled, and MLB became the first-ever major American professional sports league to lose an entire postseason due to a labor dispute. Due to the strike, both the 1994 and 1995 seasons were not played to a complete 162 games; the strike began after the teams had played at least 113 games in 1994. Each team played a total of 144 games in 1995.

This was the first time in North American professional sports that an entire postseason was canceled because of labor disputes; the second (and last to date) was the cancellation of the National Hockey League's 2005 Stanley Cup playoffs as a result of the entire 2004–05 season being canceled. Coincidentally, the NHL also experienced a labor dispute of their own in 1994.

Background
In response to a worsening financial situation in baseball, the owners of Major League Baseball teams collectively proposed a salary cap to their players. Ownership claimed that small-market clubs would fall by the wayside unless teams agreed to share local broadcasting revenues (to increase equity among the teams) and enact a salary cap, a proposal that the players adamantly opposed. On January 18, 1994, the owners approved a new revenue-sharing plan keyed to a salary cap, which required the players' approval. The following day, the owners amended the Major League agreement by giving complete power to the commissioner on labor negotiations.

The dispute was played out with a backdrop of years of hostility and mistrust between the two sides. What arguably stood in the way of a compromise settlement was the absence of an official commissioner ever since the owners forced Fay Vincent to resign in September 1992. Vincent said the owners had colluded in the signing of free agents, which led to "a $280 million theft" by Bud Selig and Jerry Reinsdorf, which "polluted labor relations in baseball" and left Donald Fehr, executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, with "no trust in Selig." On February 11, 1994, the owners greatly reduced the commissioner's power to act in "the best interests of baseball."

Owner representative Richard Ravitch officially unveiled the ownership proposal on June 14, 1994. The proposal would guarantee a record $1 billion in salary and benefits. But the ownership proposal also would have forced clubs to fit their payrolls into a more evenly based structure. Salary arbitration would have been eliminated, free agency would begin after four years rather than six, and owners would have retained the right to keep a four- or five-year player by matching his best offer. Owners claimed that their proposal would raise average salaries from $1.2 million in 1994 to $2.6 million by 2001.

Fehr rejected the offer from the owners on July 18. He believed a salary cap was simply a way for owners to clean up their own disparity problems with no benefit to the players.

On July 13, 1994, Fehr said if serious negotiations between the players and the owners did not begin soon, the players could go out on strike in September of that year, threatening the postseason. On December 31, 1993, Major League Baseball's collective bargaining agreement ran out with no new agreement yet signed.

June
As negotiations continued to heat up, the owners decided to withhold $7.8 million that they were required to pay per previous agreement into the players' pension and benefit plans. The final straw came on June 23 when the Senate Judiciary Committee failed to approve an antitrust legislation by a vote of 10–7. According to Fehr, the action left the players with little choice but to strike. "We felt in '94 we were pushed into it," he said. "I still think that's a justified conclusion."

July–August
On July 28, the Players Association executive board set August 12, 1994, as a strike date. When that day came, the players went ahead with their threat to walk off the job. The last games of that baseball season were played on August 11, 1994. On August 31, three-and-a-half hours of negotiations with federal mediators produced no progress in the strike, and no further talks were scheduled as the strike went into its 4th week. According to then-acting commissioner Bud Selig, September 9 was the tentative deadline for canceling the rest of the season if no agreement was reached between the owners and players. The MLBPA offered a counterproposal to ownership on September 8 calling for a two-percent tax on the 16 franchises with the highest payrolls to be divided among the other 12 clubs. Teams in both leagues would share 25% of all gate receipts under the MLBPA's plan. The owners responded by claiming that the measures wouldn't meet the cost.

The rest of the season, including the World Series, was called off by Selig on September 14. Selig acknowledged that the strike had torn an irreparable hole in the game's fabric. The move to cancel the rest of the season meant the loss of $580 million in ownership revenue and $230 million in player salaries. In 1994, the average MLB salary was an estimated $1.2 million.

Reaction
The Montreal Expos' best season in their history was stopped by the strike. They had the best record in baseball, 74–40, and were six games ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the NL East despite having the second-lowest payroll in MLB. Most baseball writers considered the Expos to be World Series contenders. Coincidentally, the only time that the Expos actually made it to the postseason was in 1981, the last time that there was a significant players' strike in Major League Baseball. That season, Montreal qualified by winning the second half of the 1981 season.

Chicago White Sox star Frank Thomas, who wound up winning the American League's Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award for the second year in a row in 1994, said "I've had a career year, but I'm not going to finish it." Tony Gwynn had a chance to be the first to finish a season over .400 since Ted Williams, as he was batting .394 at the time of the strike. The strike also cost Matt Williams of the San Francisco Giants a chance to beat Roger Maris' single season home run record. When the strike forced the cancellation of the remaining 47 games of the season, Williams had already hit 43 home runs, on pace to match Maris' single season record of 61 home runs. Cleveland Indians second baseman Carlos Baerga was unable to extend his record two-year streak of 20 home runs, 200 hits, and 100 RBI by a second baseman because of the strike. Seattle Mariners star Ken Griffey Jr., who led the American League with 40 home runs at the time of the strike, summed it up by saying, "We picked a bad season to have a good year." Kevin Mitchell of the Cincinnati Reds, Julio Franco of the Chicago White Sox, and Shane Mack of the Minnesota Twins opted during the strike to play in Japan in 1995.

By the third day of the strike, Cleveland Indians owner Richard Jacobs directed that all souvenirs being sold at the Indians' gift shop carrying the words "inaugural season at Jacobs Field" be sold at half price.

The Colorado Rockies were completing their last season at Mile High Stadium with an attendance of 3,281,511 through 57 home games for an average of 57,570 per game. At that pace, the team would have had a good chance of drawing over 4.6 million fans in their 81 home games if the season had continued. This would have eclipsed the major league season attendance record of 4,483,350 fans set by the Rockies only the season before.

One of the few positive notes was that fans were spared from witnessing one of the worst division races in history. The Texas Rangers were leading the newly reformed AL West despite being 10 games under .500. The last-place California Angels were only $5 1/2$ games out despite having the second-worst record in the majors at 21 games under .500—on pace for 96 losses. In fact, the two last place teams in the other American League divisions (namely, the Detroit Tigers of the AL East and Milwaukee Brewers of the AL Central) had better records than the Rangers.

The National League's MVP award was given to Jeff Bagwell. His hand was broken by a pitch on August 10, just before the players' strike began; had the season continued, he would likely have missed the remainder of the year and might not have won the MVP. But because of the timing of his "lucky break", Bagwell became just the fourth player in National League history to win the award unanimously.

The strike also led to an absurdity. The Minnesota Twins traded Dave Winfield to the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later. Since the strike led to the season being canceled, no further transactions could be made until it was settled. The Twins would officially be listed as having sold Winfield to the Indians, but the actual transaction was conducted much differently. Instead of the Indians buying the contract outright, team management went out for a meal with Twins management and the Indians paid the tab; this essentially meant that Winfield had been traded for dinner.

Arguably, the biggest storyline of the strike was the New York Yankees. In having the best record in the American League, which was also the second-best record in baseball, 70–43, and a $6 1/2$ game lead over the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East, the largest division lead of any division leader, the strike cost their captain, Don Mattingly, his best chance at his postseason debut in his 13-year career. The Yankees had not been in the postseason since. Because the Yankees' prior postseason chances had also been cut short by a strike, news media reported on the parallels between the two Yankee teams (1981 and 1994), both of which had division leads taken away by strike actions.

December
On December 5, it was announced Richard Ravitch would step down as negotiator for the owners on December 31, 1994. Ravitch instead resigned on December 6, 1994. On December 14, labor talks headed by federal mediator William Usery broke down. The next day, the owners approved a salary cap plan by a vote of 25–3, but agreed to delay implementing it so that another round of talks with the players could be held. On December 23, with negotiations at a standstill, the owners unilaterally implemented a salary cap.

January 1995
On January 4, 1995, five bills aimed at ending the baseball strike were introduced into Congress. The next day, Fehr declared all 895 unsigned Major League players to be free agents in response to unilateral contract changes made by the owners. On January 10, arbitrator Thomas Roberts awarded 11 players a total of almost $10 million as a result of collusion charges brought against the owners. On January 26, both players and owners were ordered by President Bill Clinton to resume bargaining and reach an agreement by February 6. Unfortunately, President Clinton's deadline came and went with no resolution of the strike. Just five days earlier, the owners agreed to revoke the salary cap and return to the old agreement.

Replacement players
After the deadline passed with no compromises, the use of replacement players for spring training and regular season games was approved by baseball's executive council on January 13. Replacement players were reportedly guaranteed US$5,000 for reporting to spring training and another $5,000 if they made the Opening Day roster. Selig declared that, "We are committed to playing the 1995 season and will do so with the best players willing to play."

On March 14, the players' union announced that it would not settle the strike if replacement players were used in regular season games, and if results were not voided. Detroit Tigers manager Sparky Anderson was put on an involuntary leave of absence as he refused to manage replacement players.

Replacement players created major issues for two American League teams. The Toronto Blue Jays could not play games with replacement players or umpires in Ontario, due to labour code amendments passed by the Ontario NDP that prohibited replacement workers. This was confirmed in a March 28, 1994, Ontario Labour Board hearing. Manager Cito Gaston and his coaching staff were sent to work with minor league players, and the team announced that games featuring replacement workers would be played at their spring training facility in Dunedin, Florida. The Baltimore Orioles, owned by prominent union lawyer Peter Angelos, announced they would also not be using replacement players. On March 20, Angelos's Orioles canceled the remainder of their spring training games. The next day, the Maryland House of Delegates approved legislation to bar teams playing at Camden Yards from using replacement players.

On March 26, the MLB announced that the 1995 season would be reduced from 162 games per team to 144 games per team as a result of the use of replacement players.

Television deal collapses
Following the end of the 1993 season, CBS Sports lost the rights to broadcast baseball games on television. Production of nationally televised games was taken over by MLB itself, which sold the games as brokered programming to ABC and NBC as part of a joint venture that was referred to as The Baseball Network. Originally, the idea was for ABC and NBC to share a slate of games aired in prime time during the week, with the two networks alternating coverage of the All-Star Game and World Series and splitting the Division and League Championship Series  between them. The agreement was to run for six seasons and end in 1999, with ABC and NBC airing the World Series and All-Star Game three times each; NBC would air the All-Star Game in even numbered years while ABC would do so in odd numbered years, and the network that did not air the All-Star Game would instead carry the World Series.

The strike, however, resulted in ABC losing out on two weeks of coverage and the World Series and NBC losing out on all of its allotted regular season games. MLB and the local NBC and ABC stations lost a combined $595 million in advertising revenue, and both networks announced that they would be opting out of the deal after the shortened 1995 season. Both networks would share coverage of the World Series that year, with ABC airing the odd numbered games and NBC the even numbered games.

Fox became the new broadcast partner for MLB in 1996, and has remained as such since. NBC did elect to retain some broadcast rights, however; it continued to air the All-Star Game in even numbered years and retained its rights to air the World Series in odd numbered years until Fox gained exclusive rights to national MLB broadcasts in 2001.

Strike ends
On March 28, 1995, the players voted to return to work if a U.S. District Court judge supported the National Labor Relations Board's unfair labor practices complaint against the owners (which was filed on March 27). By a vote of 27–3, owners supported the use of replacement players. The strike ended when Judge (and future Supreme Court Justice) Sonia Sotomayor of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a preliminary injunction against the owners on March 31. On April 2, 1995, the day before the season was scheduled to start with the replacement players, the strike came to an official end at 232 days. Judge Sotomayor's decision received support from a panel of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which denied the owners' request to stay the ruling.

As part of the terms of the injunction, the players and owners were to be bound to the terms of the expired collective bargaining agreement until a new one could be reached and the start of the season would be postponed three weeks, with teams playing an abbreviated 144-game season instead of a 162-game season.

1995 season
During the first days of the 1995 season, some fans remained irate at both players and owners. Attendance at the games plummeted, as did television ratings, to a greater extent than during the last significant players strike in 1981.

While a total of 50,010,016 fans had attended the 1,600 MLB regular season games played in 1994, averaging 31,256 per game, a total of 50,416,880 fans attended the 2,016 games of the 1995 MLB regular season, for an average attendance of just 25,008 per game. This represented a decline in average attendance of 20% from 1994 to 1995.

A few of the fans who showed up demonstrated their frustration, and booed the players; the strike was seen as the worst work stoppage in sports history, leaving the game in crisis and some fans shaken and angry.

Among the major examples of fan protests:
 * Three men wearing T-shirts emblazoned with "Greed" leaped onto the field at Shea Stadium to a standing ovation, and tossed $160 in $1 bills at the players' feet before being restrained by security, who were loudly booed as the men were escorted from the field.
 * In Cincinnati, one fan paid for a plane to fly over Riverfront Stadium that carried a banner reading "Owners & Players: To hell with all of you!"
 * Fans in Pittsburgh disrupted the Opening Day game between the Montreal Expos and the Pittsburgh Pirates by throwing various objects on the field, causing a 17-minute delay before being warned that the game would be declared a forfeit to the Expos; however, they continued to boo afterwards.
 * In Detroit, fans booed and hurled beer bottles, cans, baseballs, cigarette lighters, and a hubcap onto the field, causing a 12-minute delay, while holding up signs saying "Field of Dreams Greed" and "Strike, Owner$ Win, Player$ Win, Fans Lose".
 * While 50,425 fans showed up for the New York Yankees' home opener against the Texas Rangers, it was the smallest opening day crowd at Yankee Stadium since 1990. MLBPA President Donald Fehr attended the game, angering many fans who blamed him for ruining their team's postseason chances, and also what would have been Don Mattingly's postseason debut. Fans booed Fehr and yelled "You ruined the game!" in response to him having attended the last game played at Yankee Stadium before the strike, and also booed him as he left the stadium. During the game, one fan held up a sign saying "$HAME ON YOU!", to which Fehr responded by flipping off the fan.

The opening games were played with replacement umpires, the first time since Opening Day 1991 that replacement umpires were used.

On August 3, 1995, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a bill calling for the partial repeal of baseball's antitrust exemption to the full Senate. The vote was just 9–8. On August 9, George Nicolau, baseball's impartial arbitrator since 1986, was fired by Major League owners. On September 29, 1995, a three-judge panel in New York voted unanimously to uphold the injunction that brought the end to the strike in April 1995. The owners had appealed the injunction issued on March 31, but the panel said the Players Relations Committee had illegally attempted to eliminate free agency and salary arbitration.

Replacement players on postseason teams
While replacement players from the 1995 spring training were allowed to play on postseason teams, these players were not allowed to have their names or likenesses on any commemorative merchandise; furthermore, they could not be featured in video games or tabletop games, and were instead replaced by placeholder players. The affected players include Shane Spencer of the 1998, 1999, and 2000 New York Yankees; Damian Miller of the 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks; Brendan Donnelly of the 2002 Anaheim Angels; Kevin Millar of the 2004 Boston Red Sox; and Jamie Walker of the 2006 Detroit Tigers.

Long-term impact
Arguably the largest impact was to the Montreal Expos. The strike was considered to be start of the franchise's downfall in Montreal, eventually leading to them relocating to Washington, D.C., to become the current Washington Nationals. Not only did their dream season (the best record in MLB, six games ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the NL East) end abruptly, they were forced to lower payroll and sell off their four highest-paid stars (Marquis Grissom, Ken Hill, Larry Walker, and John Wetteland) in the span of less than a week in spring training. With the strike negatively affecting its fan base, the Expos would never recover from the incident. Despite respectable performances in 1996, 2002 and 2003, the team never came close to contending again; the team was purchased by Major League Baseball after the 2001 season, and would become the focus of contraction rumors until the team was moved to Washington, D.C., to become the Washington Nationals after the 2004 season. The franchise won its first World Series in 2019, as the Nationals.

After the 1994–95 strike, players' strikes became less common, although major professional sports leagues have seen lockouts amidst labor disputes between owners and players' unions.

Early medieval
Great minds are thinking alike again. User:Johnbod started Early medieval European dress about the same time you were starting Anglo-Saxon dress. I think we can make both of them work with some creative linking, especially if Anglo-Saxon gets very detailed, but do you think a merge makes more sense? - PKM 02:55, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed! An article about earlier medieval dress was overdue.  Anyways, I think right now we should see where both articles end up.  It may warrant a merger eventually, but I think for a while we should see how each article develops.  One reason I think this is because Europe during this period was divided between the continent in the south (the Frankish Empire, Normandy, etc.) and the north, (with England, Scandinavia, etc.), which remained until about 1066 (Stamford Bridge, Hastings, and all that stuff), after which northern Europe got more into sync with the rest of Europe.  What we may want to do is have the Early Medieval and Anglo-Saxon articles specialize in Continental dress and Northern dress respectively.  I think that there are sufficient differences to warrant separate articles if information can be found for both.  But anyways, for the time being I think we should see how they both end up.--Witan 05:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I will add things to both where appropriate. - PKM 02:10, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Your comment on my proposed move

 * I just wanted to say that I spent a lot of time trying to decide whether the move/merge of air superiority and air supremacy into a single, new article would best be classified as a move or a merger. I'm sure you would agree that it shows characteristics of both.  I decided to list it in the "requested moves" because I felt that it fit best there.  I would appreciate it if, in the future, you would offer suggestions of what I should do differently and why, rather than simply stating a terse opposition and recommending the closure of the discussion of my suggested move.

Thank you, --Witan 21:09, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

 * As it is not a requested move, but a merge request, you cannot use WP:RM for such a request, it is an abuse of process. It's as simple as that. As for what to do with it, I made the comment that it should be listed at WP:PM when I posted a procedural close on the WP:RM page itself. 76.66.192.64 (talk) 06:08, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that you should remember that not all editors are as experienced in all areas of Wikipedia as you. I have almost no experience with merges and moves, so saying "It's an abuse of the process.  It's as simple as that"  makes it seem like you're implying two things: that I'm stupid, and also that I listed it there in bad faith.  All I was saying was that your comment came across as terse, and I would have appreciated an explanation as to why it's a merge and not a move.  I think you'll notice from the talk pages that I haven't disputed your judgement that it's a merger.  I only wanted to know why, so that I know what to do if I come across a similar situation in the future.  As of yet, you have not done that.  Showing this arrogant attitude is totally uncalled for and inappropriate, and I find it to be extremely offensive.--Witan 06:33, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, I saw your welcome message. It's from 2005. I assumed you were an experienced editor. I apologize for misinterpreting your experience level. It did not occur to me that abuse of process was a value judgment on your actions, since to me "abuse" is the misuse of a process. Misuse need not be intentional. So perhaps I should have used the word "misuse" instead of "abuse". See dictionary.com where "abuse" defintion (1) is what I was using. (To use wrongly or improperly; misuse: abuse alcohol;) I was not implying that you were intentionally using bad faith. 76.66.192.64 (talk) 07:02, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

List of ways Kenny dies
Redundant with Kenny McCormick. Doesn't need it's own article. Lachatdelarue (talk) 02:50, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Complete list already at character article, useless as a redirect.  Postdlf 02:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:11, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kenny McCormick, although there is not really any harm in deleting this. Sjakkalle 06:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - no-one is going to search for this rather than the [Kenny McCormick] article --Doc (?) 08:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * LOL! Merge. Radiant_* 11:17, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * I was actually looking for this a while back. Redirect to Kenny McCormick Jamyskis 13:28, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This made me totally crack up, though. The best humour is unintentional humour.  PS: I hope I don't die from "monster's eating"! Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  13:39, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * I always knew that intestinse were bad for you. Jamyskis 13:53, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Move salvagable content to South Park and then delete. JBurnham 14:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kenny McCormick where the complete list is located. If I were to search for this using a "list name" this would be what I'd type. Redirecting to South Park won't help the reader find the correct info in the fastest way IMO. Mgm|(talk) 16:15, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and remove from Kenny McCormick, the Kenny McCormick page is getting large. Almafeta 18:53, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh my God, keep and take out of Kenny!!! You bastards!!! -- BD2412 talk 19:35, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)
 * While the Kenny McCormick article is getting too big, this article is way too small. Delete this and split Kenny McCormick. Everything in Kenny McCormick will be its own article. Nestea 21:54, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Not to mention delete Kenny McCormick, that's just pointless. Nestea 22:06, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * For reasons described below, delete. But still, clean up Kenny McCormick and delete Kenny McCormick. Nestea 01:30, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * First: Kenny McCormick isn't large. For large, see Roman Empire.  Second, the reason that Kenny McCormick is the length that it is is because it's terribly written.  For example: Why, since Kenny doesn't appear in any but one episode in season 6, does that article include the individual episode titles of every other episode in season 6, twice? Redirect and by making the escape route of growing another article unavailable to them thereby force the editors of Kenny McCormick, who think that that article is so large, to find some ingenious way of making the article shorter whilst not removing content that is actually connected to Kenny McCormick in some way.  I'm sure that one will come to mind soon. Uncle G 22:49, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)
 * Delete as duplication. The Kenny article isn't that long; removing the list of ways he dies pretty much turns it into a stub. 23skidoo 01:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete duplication. JamesBurns 10:44, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * merge please Yuckfoo 21:39, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * redirect to Kenny McCormick so that another Wikipedian dosen't accidentally start another redundant iteration of ways Kenny dies, not to mention making redirects out of similar names for articles like this to make this list out of. --SuperDude 23:50, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep notable part of popular culture.  Grue   15:53, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * delete then redirect this duplicates information in the existing article, so is better deleted, but someone might create the article again, so redirect it to avoid that. Mozzerati 18:37, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)
 * Redirect back to Kenny McCormick (merge anything that happens to be missing). Kenny McCormick is only 17k--no need to split this off for the forseeable future. Niteowlneils 02:25, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete not notable. Revolución 02:50, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep article has been expanded. Revolución 07:06, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - thank you and goodnight --Doc (?) 08:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC) OK as rewritten --Doc (?) 08:09, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Was a B-side on a #1 UK single; we couldmerge to the A-side, but it was b/w two different A-sides ("From Me To You" and "Do You Want to Know a Secret"), and that could lead to duplicate content. Nateji77 13:00, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * delete substub on barely notable subject. Dunc|☺ 13:38, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Fundulea

Fundulea is an agricultural town in Călărași County, Muntenia, Romania. It is on the Bărăgan Plain, approximately 30 km east of the capital Bucharest, in the historical region of Wallachia. It has a population of 6,714 (as of 2021). The A2 freeway and Mostiștea River pass through its vicinity. Two villages are administered by the town: Alexandru Ioan Cuza and Gostilele. It officially became a town in 1989, as a result of the Romanian rural systematization program.

Historically, Fundulea's outskirts housed a military base maintained by the Romanian Army. The town is home to an agricultural institute, the National Agricultural Research and Development Institute (Institutul Național de Cercetare-Dezvoltare Agricolă, INCDA). A reservoir known as Lake Fundulea, fed by water from the Mostiștea, is a popular spot for sport fishing.

History
During the 19th century, the village of Fundulea housed the Sionu estate of writer Gheorghe Sion, which, through the 1923 marriage of his daughter Marica, became the property of eccentric novelist, poet, and heraldist Mateiu Caragiale. Caragiale intended to turn it into a private domain, and reportedly flew an ensign he had created for himself.

The INCDA was created in 1962, during the Communist period, through the merger between the Research Institute for Maize Cultivation (Institutul de Cercetări pentru Cultura Porumbului) and the Field Cultivation Department (Departamentul Culturilor de Câmp) of the Romanian Agronomic Institute.

Natives
Fundulea is the birthplace of the following notable people:
 * Augustin Călin (b. 1980), football manager
 * Mircea Nedelciu (1950–1999), a novelist in whose honor a local primary school was named in 2002
 * Gabriel Oprea (b. 1961), general and politician, who was acting Prime Minister in 2015
