Template help

I've got a template system going for displaying stats in a more standardized way. It's not very glamorous but it works. The problem I'd like your help with is the data rows don't have the table background color and are "transparent" just showing the blue color instead of the light gray as they should. Any ideas? The example is at: User talk:Mecu/FBStats Start. Feel free to edit as needed and make any improvements as well or provide suggestions and other feedback. Thanks. MECU≈talk 16:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think the problem is in the template, I saw another table with the same "problem" and it looks like someone changed the CSS for WP. I would still like your input and feedback. MECU≈talk 16:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't even see a problem. I compared your template to the normal table on 2006 Oklahoma Sooners football team and they look the same.↔NMajdan•talk 17:55, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

NCAATeamSeason request

Hi - since you've done a lot of work on the NCAATeamSeason template, I was wondering if you could make another change to it. Currently, the "Prev year" and "Next year" parameters are not used for football - these are simply calculated by subtracting and adding one to the "Year". That is perfect as the default mode, but I'd like the ability to use those two parameters so that if they are not empty, the template would use the passed in values instead of doing the calculation. For example, I'm working on a page about the early days of football at the University of Minnesota. Their first season was 1882, so I'd like to be able to specify "none" for the previous year. Then, they didn't have a team in 1884 or 1885, so for the 1883 season, I'd like to specify 1886 as the "Next year" and for 1886, I'd like to specify 1883 as the "Prev year". Is this something you'd have the time to look at? Thanks! Gopherguy 16:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'll try to take a look at this this week.↔NMajdan•talk 23:22, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

OK - thanks again for your help! Gopherguy 14:34, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I have made the requested changes. And, it appears, I implemented it the exact way you were wanting. The values you used in your infoboxes on your sandbox appear to be working as I expected. Let me know if there are further issues.↔NMajdan•talk 15:50, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you're right - it is working. Thanks a lot for making these changes! My new page is pretty much ready for launch - I just need to write the introduction and then I can create the page. Gopherguy 16:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hello, thanks for the help with improving Template:University of Texas at Austin. Very nice work! Johntex\^talk 01:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Glad you like it. I'd like to get all University nav boxes to look the same to have some uniformity. Its a large undertaking though.↔NMajdan•talk 03:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks also for your comments at the 2007 UT football page. I replied there. Johntex\^talk 16:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Template:University of Texas at Austin

I remember when you updated it, only the appropriate sections would show in the articles and the rest would be "hidden" by default. Now I'm looking at Red_River_Shootout and see that all the sections are showing instead of just the athletics one. Template history shows that nobody else modified it after you, so any idea why this is happening? Corpx 17:56, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Finally had time to look into this. This is a known issue and I have brought up these templates here.↔NMajdan•talk 13:22, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

The OU and UT templates have been fixed.↔NMajdan•talk 13:54, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Heisman Trophy

I reworked the article structure and content, mostly by sectioning the article and integrating the #Trivia section into the rest of the article. Care to have a look? I think it just needs references now... —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 00:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Look great! Most articles should do away with the Trivia section. Good job.↔NMajdan•talk 13:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

FA Nom

I have nominated 2005 Texas Longhorn football team as a featured article candidate. All feedback is very welcome. Johntex\^talk 23:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Hello, I believe I have now combined all the short paragraphs so that there are no longer any short ones. Please let me know if you spot other things I can fix. Best, Johntex\^talk 07:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

The Athletic Department's Summer Vacation

Guess what? The AD spent the summer rebuilding Soonersports.com. The ELs to specific pages are all broken, to schooners and stadiums and ponies and everything else. I've started fixing them, but the challenge will be finding the pages cited in articles on seasons and older former players, if they even kept those pages at all.

Here's the list. I found the change while working on Carl Albert. (It's a long story.) - KrakatoaKatie 00:02, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Help! Template:Lamu Archipelago

I was a bit over-optemistic, and tried to create Template:Lamu Archipelago. I turns out it is far more complicated than I thought. Basically, I´m trying to get what is in the "overview"-section in the different articles in Lamu Archipelago-series into *one* template, so the user can easily navigate between the different places. Can you help me? Please? Regards, Huldra 14:18, 22 August 2007 (UTC) PS: yes, I *know* I really messed up :-(

It is ok, problem solved (I think): User:Hersfold has done/is doing a great job.. Regards, Huldra 16:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Adrian Peterson

Hi! I've seen you done some work with the Adrian L. Peterson article in the past and I'm attempting to cleanup this bio as much as possible so it meets WP:GA. Any edits or comments would be appreciated! Thanks! RyguyMN 16:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
