your edits to Template:UnivSysGa

I have rolled back your changes because they are not factually correct. Per the University System of Georgia, the governing body of said universities, Georgia Southern is still a regional university. They have made the Doctoral/research category arbitrary standard for the US News ranks but that does not change their status in the USG. Additionally, Valdosta State is also a Regional University.

2007 Texas A&M Aggies football team

edit

Hi Dawg1279. I noticed you removed the team rankings from the schedule. I initially thought the same thing you did when another user added them, but it turns out it's better to leave the ranks on there — readers can get an idea of the difficult games ahead. Without any ranks, it can imply that the teams aren't ranked. ESPN, in fact, does it this way. The rankings will have to be updated each week, though, which I wouldn't have a problem of doing. I'll take this to the College football Wikiproject so that all season articles can start doing this. What do you think? BlueAg09 (Talk) 17:53, 30 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

2007 Connecticut Huskies football team

edit

I'm not sure what the reasoning is, and i'm not arguing, but I feel that as long as a team is recieving votes in either the AP or Coaches poll, that their rank is relivent. It shows that the team is on the verge of cracking the top 25, and that they are garnering respect on a national level. If the rankings were being taken from the top 120 polls, then I could see a justification, but as long as the team is recieving votes, I don't see a reason why a rank other than 1-25 is not relivent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigblue1222 (talkcontribs) 03:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thats fine, and thank you. I don't know why it's a big deal if the people who primarily maintain the page are willing to update it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigblue1222 (talkcontribs) 05:16, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

edit

Is it policy to change the {{cfb link}} to the precise link once the team's season page has been established? I didn't see the harm in leaving them on the 2007 Cincinnati Bearcats football team schedule and it seemed safer to leave the template in case a season article got deleted for whatever reason.

2006 Chick-fil-A Bowl

edit

For the past month, I've been working on the 2006 Chick-fil-A Bowl article. I've brought it up to GA status and am now working on making it a featured article. Since you're a 'Dawg, and the article deals with the Georgia Bulldogs football team, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a swing by the nomination and leave any suggestions or support you might have. Thanks! JKBrooks85 03:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

2007 Georgia Bulldogs football

edit

An article that is just cut and pasted from its actual source probably isn't a good article. For one, every game featured the phrase "on Saturday" in it. The OK State game was no longer last Saturday. It was three months ago. Aside from that, the awkward dotted separation was bad and it wasn't too neutral to say the least ("Georgia coach Mark Richt came up with another motivational gimmick for Auburn, and this one worked just as well as the end zone celebration against Florida....Of course, it didn't hurt having Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno"). It's just very poorly written, but I won't delve into it anymore. -- Saget53 (talk) 20:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've been working on the article for Georgia's last bowl game — the 2006 Chick-fil-A Bowl — and have submitted it for a featured article review. If you've got the time to run through the article and leave comments and/or support at the FAC page, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! JKBrooks85 21:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

The College football WikiProject Newsletter
Issue III - February 2008
Project news
  • After a discussion to establish consensus, the "importance" criteria in the College football project banner has been removed. Editors cited the fact that writers rarely use the criteria when improving articles, and that many articles lacked the criteria, causing unnecessary work.
  • Editors are encouraged to watch the project talk page and Featured Article Candidates for potential College Football featured articles. Several featured articles have failed to make it past the nomination stage due to a lack of comments -- both positive and negative. Due to the fact that college football is a niche subject on Wikipedia, fewer editors are likely to comment on college football nominations, making it even more important for Wikiproject members to contribute.
  • User:BetacommandBot adds College football project banners to over 10,000 articles, bringing the total number of articles in the project to nearly 15,000. Editors are now needed to assess uncategorized college football articles, and help has been requested on an as-available basis.
  • Template:Infobox CollegeFB Bowl was deleted following a deletion discussion, and was replaced by {{NCAAFootballSingleGameHeader}}.
  • The article Chris Jessee has been kept following a deletion discussion.
  • The article 1906 Auburn Tigers football team was nominated for deletion and kept. This deletion discussion, in addition to the discussion for the 1902 LSU Tigers football team, provide a precedence for keeping stub-length single-season articles, even if those articles only consist of the team's schedule and results for that season.
  • A hotly-debated discussion about the wording of team conference affiliations ended in agreement that teams "compete" in a conference if they fielded a team in that conference, regardless of the final standings.
  • Partially owing to the addition of most NFL player articles to the project, more Good Article-class articles were added to Wikiproject College Football in January than in any other month in the project's history. Keep up the good work!
  • With 45 Good Articles, this project now accounts for approximately 1.3% of all the good articles on Wikipedia!

Project news
  • SatyrBot is now delivering weekly updates to the Wikiproject College Football to-do list. Have a few minutes, but don't want to start a whole new article? Check out the to-do list and knock one or two items off. If everyone pitches in, it'll go a long way towards making Wikiproject College Football the best source for college football information on the Internet.
  • Gwguffey has created a series of navigation boxes for college football stadiums for every state in the United States. If you're creating an article about a new stadium or updating a current article about a stadium, be sure to include one. It'll make the page more useful to readers, and they look darn nice, too.
  • SatyrBot assessed approximately 4,300 previously-unassessed college football articles. There are still over 1,500 unassessed articles out there, so if you get a chance, feel free to lend a hand.
  • If it becomes necessary to use an archaic name for a university, link to the modern name and/or Wikipedia page. Example: Virginia Polytechnic Institute. This is particularly common in articles dealing with subjects prior to the separation of NCAA divisions in the 1970s. (Discussion)
  • A motion to create a Wikiproject High School Football has been brought up on the talk page.
  • Editors are reminded that any template that automatically includes a fair-use image (such as a university logo) will be automatically deleted by Wikipedia. Instead, create a general template that asks the user to select the logo rather than automatically including the logo inside the template.

  • This month is spring practice season for most college football teams. Be sure to update your team's season article and grab a few pictures if you're lucky enough to be on hand for a spring game. Remember, even the worst picture of all is better than the picture that wasn't taken.
  • The number of College Football Good Articles being added to the project continues to grow. Nine new GAs were added in March, bringing the total of GAs produced this year to 29. At the current rate, the project will produce 116 GAs this year, nearly three times the number of GAs that were produced in the past two years. Keep up the great work!
  • With all the new GAs and FAs produced by the project, reviewers and commenters are continuously needed. Keep an eye on the project talk page, WP:FAC and WP:GAC for new college football articles to review and comment upon. Even one suggestion or support message goes a long way toward helping create a new Featured or Good Article.
  • Notre Dame Fighting Irish football under Tyrone Willingham and Skip Holtz need a Good Article review.
  • A discussion is ongoing about the possibility of creating a master team list for Division 1-AA, Division 2, Division 3, and NAIA football teams.
  • A discussion about article notability is ongoing on the project talk page. Editors are encouraged to participate.

Issue VII - June 2008

  • There's still more than two months until the 2008-2009 college football season kicks off, but that's no reason to stop editing! Plenty of historical articles, such as past bowl games, need to be written, and editors are always needed to update teams' season articles. Don't fall into the summer malaise — check out the to-do list on the Wikiproject College football talk page.
  • Wikiproject College Football recently created its first featured topic, ACC football championship games. Featured topics are collections of good- or featured-level articles, and represent the apex of featured content on Wikipedia. If you have multiple good or featured articles that can be connected by a common topic or article, consider submitting them as a featured article. There are currently very few featured topics and even fewer sports featured topics.
  • Several NAIA coaches' articles (ex. Ronald Beard) were nominated for deletion, but were rescued by editors.
  • Paul McDonald has created a formal draft of notability requirements for college football articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject College Football/Notability. This is an updated draft of the older proposed guidelines and goes into far more detail. All editors of college football articles are requested to examine the document and leave comments or suggestions. If implemented, it will affect future AfD discussions dealing with college football articles.
  • The College Football Portal needs more pictures scheduled. Do you have a great picture that illustrates the best of college football? Consider adding it to the featured image queue on the portal.

Break out of the summer malaise and get ready for kickoff — check out the to-do list on the Wikiproject College football talk page.
  • A hearty congratulations should go out to everyone who has elevated an article to Good Article status since January 1. During the past seven months, the project has more than doubled the number of Good Articles! In 2006 and 2007, there were a total of 40 college football GAs. In the first seven months of 2008, we've created 42. Give yourself a pat on the back! For those of you who haven't yet created a college football good article yet, what are you waiting for? At the present rate, there will be more than 120 by year's end. Be a part of something bigger and build a GA-class college football article today!
  • During the past few months, an excellent notability guideline for college football articles has been constructed at Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Notability, but your help is needed to make it complete. In particular, your help is requested in defining what makes a college football player notable — Is it being a multiple year starter at a position? Is it being named the best player at a position? Or is it something as simple as holding a school, conference, or national record? Participate in the debate at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Notability.

The College football WikiProject Newsletter
Issue XIV - January 2009
Project news
From JKBrooks85

Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Wikipedia, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page.

I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Wikipedia entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game.

Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article.

New high-rank articles

The College football WikiProject Newsletter
Issue XV - February 2009
Project news
  • The offseason is here, but that doesn't mean there isn't work to be done. National Signing Day has concluded, and a raft of new players are preparing for the season.
  • Two college football-related featured article candidates have been proposed: 2008 ACC Championship Game and 2008 Humanitarian Bowl need your comments, questions, and criticism to become featured articles.
  • A backlog of college football good article nominees is developing. Six college football articles: Darren McFadden, 1998 Gator Bowl, Mark Sanchez, 1954 Orange Bowl, Thom Darden, and Keith Bostic (American football) need to be reviewed for Good Article quality.
  • A lengthy discussion about the use of team logos in different articles is under way, and your help and comments are requested. Because the argument has gotten heated at times, editors are reminded to stay civil and respect other viewpoints, even if you may disagree with them. An excellent overview about Wikipedia's rules for non-free images can be found here.
  • It's never too early to start thinking about spring football! Be sure to carry a camera and get pictures of players, teams, stadiums, and all the action and pageantry of college football. An excellent guide to taking pictures for WP:CFB can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Images. Even if you don't think a photo can be immediately used for an article, try uploading it to Wikimedia Commons so future article authors can use it.
  • The College Football Portal needs to be updated with featured articles and pictures. Do you have a great picture that illustrates the best of college football? Consider adding it to the featured image queue on the portal.

College Football Project request

edit

Hello! You are listed as an active member of the College Football Project! We have a large number of unreferenced biographies of living persons, but it works out to be just two or three articles per active participant. I've divided up the articles that need help and put them in a table on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Unreferenced BLPs. Please assist the project by researching and sourcing the articles that have been "assigned" (so to speak) to you.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:46, 11 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

2023 Utah State Aggies football team moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, 2023 Utah State Aggies football team, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
