[edit]
  • And it continues. Once again the issue being challenged is being COMPLETELY IGNORED. The close of the discussion by the ridiculous SNOW policy is NOT what is being challenged. Yet every moron commenting is commenting on that. Not a single person has defended the deliberate use of the known erroneous title pages, which AGAIN, is what is being challenged.

The FACT remains that the current Wikipedia entries are INCORRECT and the suggested changes are CORRECT.

The FACT is that the Northern Illinois University athletic teams are the Northern Illinois University Huskies or NIU Huskies and NOT any other variant.

Also, it's not lost on me that the first person to oppose the original move request then went campaigning (which was brought to my attention that that is against Wiki policy WP:CANVAS) to all of his friends to come and pile on. A quick check of the talk pages of the people commenting reveals that they routinely conspire to gang up on issues and get them prematurely closed by the SNOW rule. Clowns.

How about somebody address what is actually being challenged. Defend knowingly using title pages that are WRONG.

It's been pointed out that:

  • "If a reader types in or searches for "NIU Huskies", they'll end up here or one of the specific sport articles since all of those titles are redirects."

Understood, but what sense does it make to redirect the CORRECT term to the ERRONEOUS term? Defend not using the CORRECT term and redirecting the used, but INCORRECT, term to the CORRECT one? It makes no sense. Wikipedia is doing things BACKWARDS in this regard.

Somebody ADDRESS THE ACTUAL ISSUE BEING CHALLENGED. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 17:37, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And now I'm being BLOCKED in an attempt to SILENCE me. The reason why nobody addresses what is actually being challenged is because it's a binary issue. It in NOT a matter of opinion. There is RIGHT and there is WRONG. And what I'm saying is on the CORRECT side of the issue and the other side is on the indefensible WRONG side of the issue. So there is an intensive effort to DIVERT from the issue being challenged by citing the ridiculous SNOW and COMMONNAME policies. The FACT remains that the current Wikipedia entries are INCORRECT and the suggested changes are CORRECT. The FACT is that the Northern Illinois University athletic teams are the Northern Illinois University Huskies or NIU Huskies and NOT any other variant. It makes NO SENSE to redirect the CORRECT term to the ERRONEOUS term. Wikipedia is doing things BACKWARDS in this regard. GO AHEAD, SOMEBODY (PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP) ADDRESS THE ACTUAL ISSUE BEING CHALLENGED. I'm waiting. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 18:00, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Civility and personal attacks

[edit]

Please bear the former in mind and don't engage in the latter. You can and should do better than this recent edit summary and comment. (Speaking of "patterns".) Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 00:40, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JohnInDC: Take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Corkythehornetfan&diff=prev&oldid=777361729 and reprimand that passive-aggressive child while you're at it. There are more examples of that clown engaging uncivilly and personally attacking users. Also, there was nothing wrong with the two links you provided. What I did there was point out that child's poor attempt to LIE about "consensus" and CIRCUMVENT a discussion in order to get his way (speaking of patterns, he does that ALL THE TIME, why don't you look through his history). AnneMorgan88 (talk) 14:29, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your observations. I stand by my own. JohnInDC (talk) 15:10, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@JohnInDC: And when will you be reprimanding that child? Also, you can stand by your observations all you want but your assertions are still wrong. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 15:31, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NIU athletic directors

[edit]

Anne, would you want to create an article for Sean T. Frazier, NIU's athletic director? Template:Mid-American Conference athletic director navbox needs one more link to pass WP:EXISTING and considering you're working on the NIU articles, I figured you would want to create it... Also, some previous athletic directors need articles too or the template will be deleted if you want something to do! Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 07:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You mean NIU. Keep your petty nonsense out of my Talk Page or I will report you for harassment. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 12:16, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Page found here Sean T. Frazier. It's very minimal, although has more info than some of these AD pages, I will try to fill in as much info as possible as I discover it. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 13:43, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NIU Huskies: The OFFICIAL Name of NIU Athletics Teams

[edit]
I used the PRECEDENT set by and followed by Wikipedia in the Arkansas–Little Rock Trojans page. As I stated, the issue is up for discussion but do not change the current pages. Allow the discussion process to play out. Thank you. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 13:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Grow up. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 13:55, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you lack the fundamental understanding of the issue. It is NOT a matter of branding, but rather the OFFICIAL name for the Northern Illinois University Athletic teams. Therefore, there is not an "other equally acceptable branding alternative" that you're referring to but rather "other OFFICIAL names" for the athletic teams at Northern Illinois University. If you are suggesting that the articles use: "(officially the NIU Huskies, Northern Illinois University Huskies, or Huskies [1])" that is fine with me. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 14:04, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stay OFF of my Talk Page.

Anyone wanting to communicate with me, needs to go to the TALK PAGE of the specific page they wish to talk to me about and PING me from there.

DO NOT edit or leave a message on this page.

Account reblocked

Stop icon with clock
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 months for continued disruptive editing. Your very first edit upon expiry of your 1 month edit warring block was to reinsert the same disputed content that led to your previous block. Your third edit was a declaration that editors cannot leave messages for you on your talk page. You don't appear to be able to edit through consensus or collaboration, both of which are required. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:03, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

[edit]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

AnneMorgan88 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

There was no "disruptive editing" performed on the first edit cited. If you bothered to check the Talk Page of the Page in question, you would have seen that there is a precedent, and a consensus, regarding the parenthetical edit made. The parenthetical added did not include the "official" language that some found questionable nor did it contain the redundant and unnecessary "aka" language that is not found in any of the other FOUR parenthetical instances in the opening paragraph (NIU, NCAA, MAC, FBS). CONSENSUS on that Talk Page AGREES to a parenthetical to CLARIFY the article name. So again, no "disruptive editing" was performed. Also regarding the third edit, that is my choice and necessary step due to others using my Talk Page to harass me. I was not cutting off communication, I was simply moving that communication to a neutral page where anyone would think twice before leaving harassing comments. This block is ridiculous, an example of unfair targeting, and potentially harassment in itself. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 22:15, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Looking at the talk page of the article in question, the consensus at Talk:Northern_Illinois_Huskies#Parenthetical_addition_to_Northern_Illinois_athletics_articles_-_state_your_preference seems to have consensus to NOT have the parenthetical statement that you added in your first edit after your block expired. Because of your contentious nature here, the 3 month block is clearly justified and is in no way harassing or ridiculous. You were blocked for this behavior one month ago and then immediately resumed it the day your block expired. There are many ways to handle this dispute that are not immediately putting your preferred statement in. While you are blocked, you should look at our dispute resolution avenues that you can pursue if you feel there is something further to be addressed beyond the established consensus at the talk page section I linked above. only (talk) 22:52, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You're wrong. The consensus was clearly that the parenthetical was agreed upon but nobody actually edited the article to include it. I recommend you re-read the entire discussion on the Talk Page. Regardless, this block is ridiculous because there is a PRECEDENT already set by Wikipedia regarding these clarifying parenthetical clauses and there was no deliberate "disruptive editing" performed. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 01:36, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm looking at the section again: 6 people "voted" for option 3. 1 person "voted" for option 2 and 2 people (who supported option 3) said they could live with option 2 in response to that vote). 1 person (you) declared it invalid. I don't see how I'm wrong in interpreting consensus here. Option 3 states: No parenthetical: “The Northern Illinois Huskies men's soccer team is the college soccer team …” I do not see where you get the idea that the parenthetical was agreed upon. Again, this block is not ridiculous. Since you cannot seem to work well in this collaborative environment, the block is justified. only (talk) 01:59, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello WOSO editors!

What a year to be alive. As usual (but perhaps even moreso since there have been unexpected quarantines), there has been a lot of activity on player, team, league and tournament-related Wikipedia articles with all of the worldwide coverage of women's football / soccer. Great work!

Fall Focus: FA WSL articles

You may have noticed lots of great things going on for the top English league this year: the FA WSL. More (international!) broadcasts, top international player signings, improved media coverage, and increased viewership. Let's keep the momentum brewing, shall we?

Here's a sampling of articles that could use creation, expansion or updating. What will you commit to working on?

Historical Topics
Managers
Teams
Players
Other
