Indiana University

Hi

I see that you have done a great deal of work on the Indiana U athletic teams. What whould you think of moving the page to Indiana Hoosiers? Many of college athletic programs pages are done in that style Smith03 21:51, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that and had considered it. I was following the lead of the Kansas schools, but I think you're right and "Indiana Hoosiers" would be more appropriate. Feel free to change/merge it, but obviously be sure to correct the existing links to the other page. Thanks for helping. --YHoshua 21:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I went ahead and did it. Thanks again for the suggestion.--YHoshua 22:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Nice work. Lambertman 20:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Mike Davis (coach), which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Mike Davis article

I notice that the text of the Mike Davis article that you created bears striking similarities to the CollegeSports.com article found here. Does there perhaps need to be a reference made here? -Maaya 05:10, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is only portions that use facts released by the university. Most important, the school's biography is a perpetual press release created to be used by the media and similar bodies for the very purpose of "fair use." The school's bio can be referenced for additional information, and that may be helpful, but it need not be referenced for copyright or fair use purposes. --YHoshua 05:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Gotcha. Sorry for the inconvenience. -Maaya 05:32, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Joshua Wassup!

How is it going Joshua Clayborn? How the sports at Indiana? I like your website, and your blog is very interesting.

I think it is a shame they deleted your article - I think you are just about notable. But, the good thing is that it got you interested in wikipedia.

Evansville

Okay, I've blocked him (I prefer blocks over protecting pages). Tell me if you need anything else. --King of All the Franks 03:39, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the vandalism and warned him a few minutes ago with {{spam1}}. I just checked the block log, and Merovingian did block him indefinitely for the spamming. If he comes back (maybe under another account, or just editing from an IP) and vandalism persists, I suggest listing him at WP:VIP after giving the necessary warnings. I also have the article on my watchlist now, so I can help out with reverting any additional spam to the article. (However, due to final exams this week, I might not be editing as much as usual until Sunday.) --Idont Havaname 04:35, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Many, many thanks.--YHoshua 13:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

He's now been unblocked by Jareth, since he has said he intends to be a major contributor and has stated that he is not intending to sell anything. He sent an email to me about his site and intentions; I can forward that to you, if you want. I think that his edits to Evansville, Indiana, were largely in good faith; he mentioned to me that his competitors, such as Evansville Living, are allowed to have their links there. This should probably be discussed on Talk:Evansville, Indiana; you made a revert due to "consensus", when in fact the topic had never discussed on talk. This should tell both of us, and Merovingian, to more careful; some of the terms that have been thrown around regarding including his site made him upset with us. Hopefully, we can remedy that. --Idont Havaname 20:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, I didn't say a consensus had been reached. I told him to move it on the talk page until one had been reached. However it is worth noting that he was the only one adding the link and numerous people had been removing it.--YHoshua 22:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also worth noting is that he has not made other contributions. The only contributions he has made, and made repeatedly, are links to his own site.--YHoshua 22:51, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rex Mundi

I've created a stub on Rex Mundi at Rex Mundi High School. Only thing I know about it is that both my Aunt Donna and Bob Griese went there. Please add anything you might know about it.

BTW, my dad was a Panther; I live in Princeton myself. Kurt Weber 21:20, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
