Wikipedia:WikiProject College Basketball → Wikipedia:WikiProject College basketball – There is a mismatch in capitalizing between the project name and the project category system. This seems to be the better fix. Gonnym (talk) 12:58, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment, do you mean Wikipedia:WikiProject College basketball, keeping it in the Wikipedia namespace not the mainspace? DankJae 13:15, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, thanks for pointing that out. Fixed target name. --Gonnym (talk) 10:55, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support move to Wikipedia:WikiProject College basketball, it would keep it in line with Wikipedia:WikiProject College football and Wikipedia:WikiProject College baseball. Note: Template:WikiProject College Basketball may need to be moved as well.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 20:26, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- There are a large number of WikiProjects that don't use sentence casing in their titles. I don't think this needs to be standardized in the Wikipedia namespace. If the opinions of the project participants favor the move, then OK; otherwise this sort of thing is not really necessary. Dekimasuよ! 03:00, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

: It shouldn't be up to a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS, but then this is already a community level RM.—Bagumba (talk) 03:25, 12 August 2024 (UTC)- That's true if the discussion concerned an outward-facing part of the encyclopedia, but project space is not handled the same way. WikiProjects are generally given a lot of control over their own workings: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide#WikiProjects define their scopes, etc. Note that on the guide page linked here, the "foobar" title for a new WikiProject is shown as Wikipedia:WikiProject Your Favorite Topic in title case. Since WikiProjects are completely dependent upon the willingness of editors to participate, it makes sense to act in accordance with the opinions of project members. There are lots of very large or very active WikiProjects that use title case, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors, Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, or Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular Biology. I am not saying that WikiProjects should be able to do whatever they want, but I don't see any benefit in having editors not involved in the WikiProject attempting to institute a change here.

- No opinion on my part. The nom just seems to be looking for some case consistency between the names Wikipedia:WikiProject College Basketball and Category:WikiProject College basketball.—Bagumba (talk) 07:02, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

- Support move to Wikipedia:WikiProject College basketball per above. SportsGuy789 (talk) 00:58, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Question Since this is already on the project's talk page (which is how I found it), doesn't it stand to reason that this forum is exactly where project members are giving their opinions on the matter? It doesn't appear that we have any disagreements so far and we are several days in.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 02:53, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support move to lowercase "b" for basketball, per all above. Ejgreen77 (talk) 06:47, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Pac-12... not dead after all?
editPer official Pac-12 announcement, four schools will be joining for all sports in July 2026. For basketball specifically, I suppose I can undo my own edits about the final year of basketball being 2024 the respective CPOY and CCOY articles? Is that what everyone else thinks too? SportsGuy789 (talk) 00:17, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- I guess the Pac-12 is not sponsoring basketball for the next two seasons, as the 2 schools will be affiliate members in the West Coast Conference.[1]—Bagumba (talk) 12:26, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- That's my interpretation... but maybe I should change the Pac-12 CPOY article (for example) to mirror the Senior CLASS award in that the infobox's "most recent" award is listed as a hiatus, with a footnote referencing the presumption of basketball being resumed in 2026–27? SportsGuy789 (talk) 18:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- If nobody objects to my suggestion, when I have a bit more time I will update the infoboxes, remove the "awards discontinued in 2024" categories, add sources to the presumed 2026–27 continuation of Pac-12 basketball, and move the Pac-12 CPOY and CCOY articles back into the "active" sections on the CBB awards navboxes?

Darnell Edge Revisions

Hello. Per the request of Wiki admin Leftguide I would like to have the following info inserted back into the college career section, however, I am adding the following independent sources below to be utilized instead, as Left Guide informed me that I am fine to continue using news articles and other sites as I originally have, but not school web sources. Note that Left guide already added the NCAA free throw back in the original page as it was properly cited prior. Please note for the FDYS award, I would have to keep the original source because it is a school award, therefore, it would only be available through the school's website. Please let me know if the below will suffice with the new source links! If so, I am happy to add back myself if admin is unable. Note I am a paid editor and this has been noted and acknowledged by other Wiki editors as stated on the Darnel Edge page. Freshman seasoneditAs a freshman, Edge made his breakthrough with the Knights during a match against Saint Francis University on January 28, 2016, where he earned a then career-high of 20 points. (source: ESPN: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=400845074) In the 2016 Northeast Conference men's basketball tournament against Wagner College, Edge and the Knights secured an 82–79 win, (source: ESPN: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap/_/gameId/400870175) sending the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights to their first NCAA Tournament since 2005. With a little over three minutes left in the game, Edge made a three-pointer, putting the Knights ahead at 71-65. (source: NEC.org https://northeastconference.org/news/2016/3/5/MBB_Semifinal_Recaps_NEC16.aspx) In the end, Edge scored 12 points, becoming one of five players on the team to score in the double digits for the night. Sophomore seasoneditEdge was a starter in 16 games during the 2016–17 season with the Knights. He scored consistently in the double digits, earning another season high of 19 points against LIU Brooklyn on February 11, 2017 (source: FOX Sports: https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-basketball/blackbirds-go-free-throw-route-to-beat-fdu-tie-for-second-feb-11-2017). He would score another high of 19 points against Saint Francis on February 25, 2017, and would go on to be named NEC Primetime Performer (source: NEC.org https://northeastconference.org/news/2018/11/25/MBB_Release_11_26_18-.aspx)upon averaging 17 points per game with a field-goal percentage of 60.8 over a two-game period. Junior seasoneditDuring the 2017–18 season, Edge was named NCAA Free-Throw Percentage Championafter being recognized as the most accurate free thrower in the nation at 94.4%. Following the title, Edge became the first Fairleigh Dickinson men's basketball player to lead the NCAA in a category in the university's 68-year program history. On November 18, 2017 in a game against Kean University, Edge played a total of 24 minutes, scoring 18 points and seven steals (source: ESPN: https://www.espn.co.uk/mens-college-basketball/game/_/gameId/400990715/kean-fair-dickinson). In a match against Bryant University on January 27, 2018, Edge made five 3-pointers and racked up a team high of 21 points, (source: ESPN: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story?id=22234965&src=desktop) leading the team to a 89–78 win. He was then awarded with the Team MVP title and the first-ever FDYS Awards Male Athlete of the Year. Edge finished the season shooting 84 of 89 from the free-throw line, averaged 14.5 points per game, and earned a team-high of 60-made 3-pointers, and 40 steals.

- @InfinitiBowie97: I'm collapsing the above and directing instead to the article talk page in the interest of WP:FORUMSHOP and having a centralized discussion. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 04:43, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
