Which would you prefer?

Posted by Under the Influence (aka H-Mogul) Aug 4 '12, 11:59

A) Rhode, Kim - Herself - Gold Medalist, London 2012 Women's Skeet Shooting

B) Rhode, Kim - Herself - US Gold Medalist, London 2012 Women's Skeet Shooting

I don't think either of these are wrong, the second seems kind of clunky to me and/or maybe just overkill.
On the other hand saves people time checking for what country she was competing for, for those not familiar with the athlete. Some times I get a little anal on stuff and can't see the forest for the trees.
Making a template I can drop the data into
medal / London 2012 / event

- Discrete data is a good thing. Makes it more useful for pivoting. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 13:32 1
  - yep, i really feel country deserves it's own column for later sorting. -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 13:41
I think country is kind of important. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 12:21
*wonders what the "Herself" column is for* -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 12:18 3
- Individual or Team, perhaps? -- nm - Roger More Aug 4, 12:19 2
  - herself just souns odd, like a movie credit where a name star plays themselves, how about Ind. or team -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 4, 12:50 1
    - Yeah, I'd drop it and just add team to the event description if it was a team event. -- nm - Krusty Aug 4, 12:54
I'd go with the second one, aside for the big names people may not know what country they're from. -- nm - Stephen, in Fantasy Football Hell Aug 4, 12:10
