Disambiguation link notification for June 30
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2000 NCAA Division I-A football rankings, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Memorial Stadium (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

editHi Thebeholder138,
Thank you for your recent efforts on the page 2000 NCAA Division I-A football rankings. I can tell that you put a lot of effort into those edits, and I appreciate that. Unfortunately, I had to remove your additions, for several reasons. Mostly, the section did not fit with the rest of the article. The article is meant to deal with the rankings in college football during the 2000 season. Your prose dealt mostly with how the results of the season may have affected the various team's rankings. Analysis like that would be more fitting in the article about the season itself, because it deals with the overall narrative of the season rather than the objective reality of who was ranked what and when.
Your edits also did not meet the quality standards of Wikipedia. I highly suggest reading this essay on how to get started editing on Wikipedia. In particular, you should learn how to cite sources, as your edits did not have any sources, and you should read up on how to write in the style of an encyclopedia, as your writing was highly informal and euphemistic.
Please don't discouraged. We'd love to have you contribute to WikiProject College football. We just need you to focus your enthusiasm on contributing edits that are well-sourced and written in the style of an encyclopedia. Best, Ostealthy (talk) 02:41, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
