Alex Barnett

Hey - do you still have it on your radar to create Alex Barnett (basketball)? He's the last CPOY and All-American article redlink of 2009. Let me know if your plans have changed. Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 00:05, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

I don't have the time or energy to create any new articles, so I won't be getting to him. If it were a stub of an NBL or NBA player I wouldn't mind, but throwing together anything more I can't for now. Jrcla2 (talk) 16:54, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Your input is requested

I have initiated a move on Talk:1973 college football season and Talk:1977 college football season. I would appreciate any input you may have on the matter. Thanks-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 05:36, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Hampden–Sydney College

I see where you created the Category "Hampden-Sydney Tigers men's basketball coaches." Could you please put it up for renaming to "Hampden-Sydney Tigers basketball coaches?" It is a single-sex college. Same with "Hampden-Sydney men's basketba;;." Thanks Rikster2 (talk) 21:32, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

True, good call. I've speedied them for renaming. Jrcla2 (talk) 00:26, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Marcus Thornton - W&M

I was doing my 2000 point tracker updates this morning and saw that Thornton of William & Mary has about 1800 points - he's likely to hit 2k. I know you have limited your editing but wanted to highlight this in case you wanted to create that article. It'll be a redlink in the season notes otherwise (which is fine, my guess is he will play professionally in Europe so he'll be created at some point). Hope the job is going well. Rikster2 (talk) 15:16, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, yeah the job is great but it's much more demanding than my previous one (I spent literally 80%+ of my work day on Wikipedia at my previous job. It was both awesome and terrible simultaneously). I will try to tackle Thornton asap, because he's the runaway frontrunner for the CAA POY (which would be W&M's first ever in the CAA), plus he's poised to become the school's all-time leading scorer and is a shoe-in for a top league European career. I've read mutterings in national publications of him being a dark horse candidate to sign with an NBA team via summer league, but I'll believe that when I see it. Jrcla2 (talk) 15:25, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Your boy is sitting on 1,999 points. His next game will be big Rikster2 (talk) 15:44, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Yeah I better get on that article soon. There are a few regular W&M Wikipedia editors now but I know I would still make the best article. He's most likely the CAA POY also, so even more incentive to get it made. Jrcla2 (talk) 16:23, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

He hit 2000 last night. Updated on the season highlights page. Rikster2 (talk) 14:38, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Have you ever heard of Winsipedia?

I have posted a question on the WP:CFB page about this but I trust your opinion as a regular CFB editor, so I decided to come to the horse's mouth? What do you think of these edits? [1] [2] [3] Thanks,-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 03:53, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

I'd never heard of it until you brought it up. However, I wouldn't trust a website as a reliable source that ends in "pedia". Jrcla2 (talk) 16:21, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Me neither, I just ran into an editor (and it's/or an IP) that in these links was adamant that Stanford and Rutgers weren't national champions in 1940 and 1869 respectively, and called it "the best source for college football." I didn't think it was a RS, and especially it's lack of significant content compared to the CFBDW or anything NCAA related. Thanks-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 23:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

We would like to get your opinion

Jrcla, I'd like to get your opinion on this revised infobox template for college football players: [4]. After determining what data points to include, we'll recruit a template editor to handle the coding for us. Once we determine what fields we're adding and what we're deleting, then we'll work on the modified graphics. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 06:21, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Potential problem edits

Jrcla, you probably want to look at this ASAP: WT:CFB#Widespread changes to college sports program articles. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:19, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

@Dirtlawyer1: Hi DL, sorry I haven't gotten back to you. I've only been able to really afford attention to quick articles and cleanup miscellany as of late. Did this situation with the editor get resolved? Jrcla2 (talk) 14:17, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Jrcla, he has stopped making the mass changes, and to his credit, has now checked in on the WP:CFB talk page. (I now need to respond.) There were multiple substantive problems and formatting/MOS issues with his changes, but there is some merit in reviewing how we present national championships and perhaps conference championships, too) across primary team articles, athletic program articles, and conference articles. I know that's not a simple review. If you've got a few minutes today, take a look at some of the changes that were being made, ignore the obvious MOS/formatting problems and the deletion of sourced content, and see if you believe there are any salvageable ideas. Let me know what you think. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:25, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Head Coaches

I noticed a reversal of a redirect in one of the Lamar Cardinals navboxes. The redirect attempt was to a section on the Lamar Cardinals basketball page which lists information similar to that contained on a Wikipedia page for the Kentucky Wildcats head basketball coaches, List of Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball head coaches. My redirect was to this section ---> Lamar Cardinals basketball#Coaching Summary. (I used the Kentucky Wildcats list page as a model when I built the list.)

In light of the above, should a list only Wikipedia page be created. No problem if the answer is yes.

Thanks!!!

Yes, that would be ideal. Lists like that bog down the main article pages because it's extraneous info that can be split. (Unrelated, but please try to remember to add your signature with four tildes ~~~~). Thanks. Jrcla2 (talk) 20:35, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the information and for the reminder about the four tildes (blushing). I'll make the split.LUSportsFan (talk) 18:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Dale Morey edits

It was a pleasure to edit Dale Morey, and thank you for the pat on the back! The more I read, the more I was impressed with what he accomplished in his amateur golf career. That guy was a truly fantastic golfer. His longevity was amazing, too.

As I read the article over and over, I was saying to myself "this article needs some color". And by that I mean adding "the meat" as you described it. I felt by adding some more detailed information about his close call in the 1953 U.S. Amateur was helpful in doing just that. I also added his nine career hole-in-ones which is an accomplishment worthy of mention in and of itself. I am sure the Morey family will forever be proud of what Dale accomplished as a golfer, and understandably so.--EditorExtraordinaire (talk) 07:03, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

His golf career is certainly impressive. Even as a non-golf guy, I can appreciate the accomplishments he had on the links. And to think, his article only got started because he played briefly in the United States' National Basketball League, a sport he was far less known for. Jrcla2 (talk) 15:52, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Formatting of season schedule tables

Jrcla, please take a look at these threads: [5] and [6]. I am not opposed to change, but I don't believe this is the proper way to implement changes in contravention of well-established practice. Your feedback on the relevant talk pages is requested. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:11, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

I'll take a look soon. Thanks for the note. Jrcla2 (talk) 17:42, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

David L. Robbins (Virginia writer)

Is there any way to add better references to this article? Bearian (talk) 21:24, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Baltimore?

I know you have a William & Mary connection, but do you also have ties to Baltimore of some kind? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:10, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

I have some relatives in the Baltimore area, not specifically within the city limits. Porquoi? Jrcla2 (talk) 15:16, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

I was prepping the Theresa Andrews article for GA review at the time, and Annapolis and Baltimore are a big part of her personal story. I know I had a Baltimore-related question, but now I cannot recall specifically what it was. Did you grow up in Virginia? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:09, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Ah, ok. I grew up in New Jersey, went to school in Virginia, and am back in NJ now. Jrcla2 (talk) 17:10, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

2000/1000

Pretty sure LaDontae Henton of Providence went over the 2000 point/1000 rebound marks in their win over Seton Hall tonight. Rikster2 (talk) 01:57, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Alright thanks – I'll look into it when I get some time. Jrcla2 (talk) 15:16, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Sporting News

AA team came out today. I know you probably won't be able to take care of it, but I won't be able to either. USBWA comes out Wednesday. Rikster2 (talk) 16:35, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Alright. If I have a chance I'll get to it, but might not be able to. Jrcla2 (talk) 17:07, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Question about a user

Hello. I saw this edit and was wondering what you thought about the creation of this article? Does it need to be created right now, or can it be a redirect until a later date? I honestly don't think it should be up yet because 1) it is unsourced and 2) the tournaments just ended and the 2014–15 NCAA season is still going on. Just thought I'd ask you before I do anything to it. Corkythehornetfan | Chat? 04:22, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

The Big 12 article needs to be redirected (aside from the fact that the title name is completely wrong). Jrcla2 (talk) 13:23, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Ok, Thanks. Corkythehornetfan | Chat? 17:25, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for this edit. I've been busy since yesterday and hadn't really been on Wikipedia. It was much appreciated! Corkythehornetfan | Chat? 05:19, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Request for consensus: Team stat leaders in schedule tables

Jrcla, are you following this discussion on the WP:CBB talk page? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 06:00, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Not particularly, only that it's going on. If my input is requested I'll chime in, but I've been trying to wean off conversations I'm not especially interested in. I realized that it makes me like editing Wikipedia less, know what I mean? With my (fairly new) job, I don't have much daytime editing available, so I've really got to stick to editing that makes me happy so I don't burn out. That being said, I'd be glad to look this one over if you feel I should put forth my two pennies. Jrcla2 (talk) 16:08, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Conference basketball season pages

Hey, I saw you have been actively editing a college basketball conference season page, so please see this discussion here so we can get a consensus of editors. While this discussion is specifically on the SEC page, it concerns all conferences' pages. Jhn31 (talk) 22:33, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Jason Richards (basketball)

What part of He later became CEO of CDW invalidates the chief executive category? Oh yeah, that MUST mean he should be categorized as a volleyball player? Or is it nurse? Postcard Cathy (talk) 19:49, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

How about you actually READ the article instead of HotCat'ing everything. JASON Richards was the player for Davidson who's an assistant coach. TOM Richards is Jason's father who later became a CEO. Oh yeah, the category does not apply to Jason. Jrcla2 (talk) 19:59, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

User:Charlesaaronthompson

Hey, we're going to have our work cut out for us on this guy! He knows not to mess with the {{CollegePrimaryStyle}} template because I've told him (here) and he said he wouldn't mess with the templates (here) but, yet, he still wants to change it. I'm not sure if you've monitored his talk page or not so that is why I'm telling you this (if you even care!). I'm still not sure if I should give him the link to the link to the Module page, as I think he'll do a whole lot of changing to it (colors wise) like switching colors around that shouldn't be switched, etc. If you think I should, I'll go ahead and give it to him, but for now I've told him to just use the talk pages to mention the color change and someone will change it. Thoughts?

P.S. yes, I know I was doing what he did at one point (a pain in the rear!) and still am (updating colors), but I don't think I was as bad as he is. At least I understand it now! I'm still not sure as to why we can't use one color for the title section and one for the group as I think it looks better, but I do know some don't work per contrast issues. But hey, it's whatever! Corky | Chat? 01:49, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: I'm with you on this. I don't think he's proven himself responsible and trustworthy enough (not by a long shot, even by the most liberal of imaginations) to start messing with modules. I have literally every single Division I men's basketball team navbox on my watchlist and will catch any disruptive editing he may do to them. If he continues to deliberately remove CollegePrimaryStyle, we will have to take him to a Noticeboard. Jrcla2 (talk) 06:40, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Okay, sounds good! I know he edits sometimes while logged out, which he has been warned about, too. I do think that there will be a point where the Noticeboard will be needed, as I don't think he is going to listen to us. Corky | Chat? 15:11, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

False Accusations From April 2014

Hey, it's Mugurple. Occasionally I help with the editing of the Kentucky Basketball wikipedia pages, and last year you said I was a IP address that repeatedly kept re-adding the Kentucky depth chart after you took it down because of validity reasons. I was insistent that it wasn't me (mostly because it wasn't me) and would be willing show you any proof that it wasn't. You then were more insistent that it was me (even though you had no proof yourself) and said you would open up an SPI case (I don't know what that is) to prove it was me. Anyway, it still bugs me because you never got back to me on that. I stand my word in saying that I was not the one who kept making those edits. To conclude, is there any reason you never got back to me on that? Oh and if you don't remember (which is fine because it was a year ago), our discussion is probably in your archives from 2014.
