Operation COOKIE MONSTER

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 23:31, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Dr. Harry MarchThanks for the good work on the Dr. Harry March article, I enjoyed reading your additions - Mike Moran —Preceding unsigned comment added by Revmoran (talk • contribs) 21:07, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]Additions to History of American footballHey, just coming by to thank you for your additions to the article in question. They seem like interesting and relevent things to add. However, your additions lack any references to sources. The article in question is currently a Featured Article, and in order to maintain Featured status, it must be scrupulously referenced. Your additions, as I said, seem very worthwhile, its just that we need to update the footnotes to include the sources you used when adding this information. If you could add these footnotes to the article, that would be awesome. If you are having problems managing the technical aspects of adding footnotes, let me know, and I will help you where I can. If the footnotes cannot be added, it would be a shame, since that would mean that your excellent additions would have to go, lest the article be degraded to the point where it lost its Featured status. Thank you so much for your attention to this. --Jayron32 02:27, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]Awesome! Thanks a bunch for your additions. They really add to the article! Any help in American football articles is always cool. --Jayron32 16:26, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]More football coachesHello! I see you have an interest in College Football in Pennsylvania. Perhaps you can help me with some articles in my workspace--I have several Geneva College coaches that need some more sources. Please review here and feel free to be bold and make changes!--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:14, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]College footballPennsylvania Penguin, hello. I've noticed some of your recent edits related to college football. Thanks for getting the article on John Moorehead (American football coach) started. Just wanted to touch base with you about Template:Infobox college coach. I've made some recent changes to improve the template and eliminate some of the ambiguity and in efficiency therein. First, the Player and Coach trigger fields are no longer needed. Also, please note that a few of the fields (Title, College, Conference, CurrentRecord, Contract) should only be populated for current coaches. On Otto Wagonhurst, for example, his playing career at Penn should be noted in the Years and Team field. College should be left blank. Thanks and let me know if you have any thoughts about the template.

I've added some of the New York ones to it and I think it makes a nice addition to illustrate the game's pre-NFL traditions. J.

I have been working on the Columbus Panhandles article for about a week. I noticed you expanded the article quite greatly, but you never added any references to it. I am currently working on bringing the article up to GA standards, and I was wondering if you could help by putting in citations (I already have the ^{[citation needed]} tags located where references should go). If so, that would be a great help! Thanks and have a great day. —Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 07:40, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]Awesome! Thanks. Ever since I saw an article in my local paper about the Akron Pros, I'll been fascinated by the early era of pro football. —Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 23:24, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]Pro Football ArticlesPenguin, You're right; I should have never reverted your information, as it's very contributing to Wikipedia. There's not many users dedicated to editing old football articles on here. I had some real-life stuff going on, so that was the reason I did what I did. I should have went to your talk page about the page numbers thing. Thanks for being nice about the situation, and thanks for all the work you have done on the football articles. Hope to be working with you in the future! —Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 23:23, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]Season renamesBe careful with renaming old seasons like that. A number of the older leagues from that time period only played in one year. I am not sure if that is the case with the ones WPHL ones I noticed you moving but you might want to check on that as the title would be incorrect if they did only play in one year. -DJSasso (talk) 13:30, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]Non-free logo galleriesThese may be common in sports articles, but I think you'll find where they exist such logos are free images, either because they're out of copyright or simple enough to not qualify on originality. Simple galleries of non-free images, however, are not allowed due to our non-free policies.

He was from the Pittsburgh area and was one of four "ringers" paid to play by Massillon. He also played for the J.F. Lalus Athletic Club in Pittsburgh in 1899-1900, Homestead Library & Athletic Club in 1901, and Pittsburgh Stars/Pros in 1902. I have inherited a collection of original photos from these teams and and have collected other photos and articles. Sports Illustrated ran a story in the 2/6/12 issue called The First Super Bowl on the big game in 1906 between Canton and Massillon. I helped the writer with the story and SI gave me a photo credit for the picture postcard of the Canton team that I provided them for the article. I am working on some related projects and would enjoy connecting with anyone interested in sharing information, asking questions, etc. Please feel free to contact me at gkficery@comcast.net. Thanks! ----
