November 2014

Hello, I'm Demize. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Big East Men's Soccer Tournament, with this edit without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. demize (t · c) 19:09, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Big East standings

Thanks for your effort at improving the Big East men's soccer standings, but...

There are standings boxes for each of the 24 conferences competing in NCAA Division I men's soccer. They all use the same standard format (as do those for women's soccer.) Several of us have spent quite a bit of time and effort in getting this done, ironing out problems and trying to convey all of the necessary information. (We have not yet been able to add points to the conference standings, which may be an impossibility due to space constraints.) Please do not go trying to make one conference unique from the others. The regular season champion is identified by its position at the top of the standings; the conference tournament winner (if there is one) receives an automatic bid to the tournament, not an invitation— these do not require separate identifications. If you see things that you think can be improved, please post them on the talk page rather than unilaterally making changes. Thank you for your attention...

Using the special note because the invitation can be marked with "x" rather than "y" and the internal mechanism tends to forget about posting the tournament, possibly because the format is for baseball, rather than soccer... (Women's may still be using the y. Men's was switched to x to avoid having to also give a y to the automatic qualifier. [Space constraints... too many characters & you get wraparound. Someone objected to St. Francis Br'klyn ‡ and edited it to Saint Francis Brooklyn ‡, which really screwed up the look of the Northeast Conference standings box.])

A lot of this has been trial and error, and, even before we switched to the baseball box, were were using a combination of (association) football and basketball to try to get a "proper" display. Hope that answers your question without generating even more... GWFrog (talk) 19:59, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
