Hi, I am interested in creating a new Wikipedia page for Taylor Thom, a former University of Texas softball player who now plays for Team USA and a new professional team out of the Dallas, TX area, Dallas Charge. As fastpitch softball is growing to be a very popular sport I believe that it is important that these professional athletes' information is available to those who are interested in it. I would greatly appreciate feedback on this.

Templates

To create all the Florida softball pages, I created a college softball infobox (named Template:NCAASoftballSeason), schedule table start (Template:NCAASoftballScheduleStart), entry (Template:NCAASoftballScheduleEntry), and end (Template:NCAASoftballScheduleEnd) components.

Coordinators' working group

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:35, 28 February 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Thanks. — Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 09:41, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

Are there enough articles on this subject to justify an Outline of softball?

Here's a discussion about subject development you might find interesting.

P.S.: See Wikipedia's collection of outlines at WP:OOK.

GAN backlog reduction - Sports and recreation

As you may know, we currently have 400 good article nominations, with a large number of them being in the sports and recreation section. As such, the waiting time for this is especially long, much longer than it should be. As a result of this, I am asking each sports-related WikiProject to review two or three of these nominations. If this is abided by, then the backlog should be cleared quite quickly. Some projects nominate a lot but don't review, or vice-versa, and following this should help to provide a balance and make the waiting time much smaller so that our articles can actually get reviewed!

article and category suggestions

In going over some softball articles and categories recently it occured to me that a list of wanted articles and categories might help this project out. 69.119.24.98 (talk) 03:35, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles that should be written:

Categories that should be created (existing ones are struck out but shown to illustrate the proposed hierarchy):

  1. ^ "Softball World Series - HOME". Retrieved 2009-09-11.
  2. ^ "Welcome to District3.org / 2009 Senior League Softball World Series, Sussex County, Delaware". Retrieved 2009-09-11.
  3. ^ "Big League Softball World Series". Retrieved 2009-09-11.

Softball schedule

I am currently trying to make a page for the 2010 Alabama Crimson Tide softball season, i used the softball schedule template that you made. For some reason there is a problem with the template and i cant find what i did wrong. Could you please go to the page and see if you can find what is wrong? -- Zwilson14 (talk) 21:38, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think is wrong with the schedule in that article? 67.86.75.96 (talk) 05:47, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sports Notability

There is discussion ongoing at Wikipedia_talk:BIO#RFC:_WP:Athlete_Professional_Clause_Needs_Improvement debating possible changes to the WP:ATHLETE notability guideline. As a result, some have suggested using WP:NSPORT as an eventual replacement for WP:ATHLETE. Editing has begun at WP:NSPORT, please participate to help refine the notability guideline for the sports covered by this wikiproject. —Joshua Scott (LiberalFascist) 03:15, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

National Fastpitch Coaches Association Hall of Fame

I created a new article/list on the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Hall of Fame. It is effectively a template of many of the greatest figures in the sport's history. I also created articles on two of the inductees, Margie Wright and Carol Hutchins. Articles on other inductees are needed. Help and suggestions from project participants would be welcome.

Softball articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Softball articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Deletion Page

I created this page Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Softball for discussions that may appeal to the concerns of your members. There was a recent afd on a softball player and someone stuck it on the baseball deletion page for lack of a better avenue. Kinston eagle (talk) 00:42, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Schedule template

Im doing the 2011 Alabama Crimson Tide softball season and i think the template needs a column for the overall record like the basketball one. I dont know how to change it but i was wondering if anyone else could. Zwilson14 (talk) 00:25, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did filling in the rank = parameter within the {{NCAASoftballScheduleEntry}} help you out with what you are trying to add to that article? 69.126.127.193 (talk) 02:07, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Carolina Diamonds

Dear softball experts: This old Afc draft was never submitted for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Is this a notable softball team, and should the page be kept and improved instead of being deleted as a stale draft? —Anne Delong (talk) 03:16, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Dear softball experts: Is this draft about a notable player? If so. I can move it to Draft space to await better sourcing. If not, I can delete it under db-g13 as a stale draft (provided nobody edits it...)—Anne Delong (talk) 04:36, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Dallas Escobedo is the first ever draft pick of the expansion pro team Pennsylvania Rebellion. She just signed for her third season with them a few days ago. I don't know it that's notable enough, but she does have a claim to fame with a pro sports league.Jjwyatt (talk) 13:33, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
