Why has the history of the ABs been suddenly turned into "Henry" and Hansen" eras

[edit]

Has the article been attacked by an 18 year old with no knowledge of history?

Win rate?

[edit]

Early in the article it states a winning record of 76%, later on it says 76.95%. Should the first figure be rounded to 77%? Maybe just verify in case I'm mis-reading. 125.238.239.27 (talk) 08:16, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New Zealand national rugby union teamAll Blacks – All Blacks is by far the WP:COMMONNAME, and I personally did not understand just by looking at the title that this article was referring to the All Blacks. Looking on Google Scholar, "All Blacks" has 7,180 results whereas "New Zealand national rugby union team" has 39.

This article was moved from All Blacks in 2008, which I disagree with the reasoning for. For one, it cites consistency with other articles which is an argument to avoid, and there is no sports naming convention which gives precedence to the current name. Another point in that discussion was that non-New Zealand countries refer to it as "New Zealand" rather than "All Blacks", but it appears to me that media headlines refer to it as "All Blacks", eg here, here, here, and here, so it shouldn't cause confusion to readers. —Panamitsu (talk) 10:19, 21 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 08:20, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am disappointed this RM was held when it was, because I would certainly have !voted to move. Consistency does not override common name, concision and recognisability when they all prefer the proposed name. Especially when there is good reason to consider that the other teams this page is generally grouped with could well be moved too (Wallabies and Springboks). — HTGS (talk) 21:45, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1976 Olympics African boycott - How many countries boycotted?

[edit]

The number of countries that boycotted in this article is most likely not accurate. If you're interested, this is elaborated on in this talk page, as many articles have this problem. --MatthewJenkins02 (talk) 23:40, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to table formatting

[edit]

@Flyk Steezy can you elaborate on what you mean by my edit to the table adding a “zoom”? I can’t see any errors in any of my browsers, but if the style imports are causing issues, this is a bug that needs to be addressed elsewhere as well as here. — HTGS (talk) 00:05, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
