Re: Charles Jonasen
You asked about what the book Mill City Scrum has to say about Charles Jonasen. Well, Jonasen played for the Minneapolis Marines, which is what the book is about. The book covers the Marines from 1905 through their final season as the Red Jackets in 1930, and the book includes Jonasen in its year-by-year rosters plus accounts of games. Jonasen played from 1907 through 1921. NorseLord (talk) 19:45, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- @NorseLord: Is there any discussion of Jonasen's life or is the only coverage of him in the book listings of him on team rosters and / or brief mentions regarding game performances? BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:01, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, for someone who played regularly for 14 seasons, there is almost nothing about him except roster positions, a couple of big plays, and some biographical info like he was a fireman and a policeman. NorseLord (talk) 01:42, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- @NorseLord: How much biographical information is there? Would you be willing to give me an excerpt? BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:43, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- Additional info from the book not already on the draft page:
- Charles Jonasen played first base and right field for the Minneapolis Marines amateur baseball team.
- He served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War I.
- He first worked as a shipping clerk for a flour mill, then as a deputy sheriff for the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department, and later for the Minneapolis Fire Department (1928-1957). NorseLord (talk) 16:59, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- @NorseLord: Hmm... that is rather slim. Take note that Wikipedia requires it's subjects to have so-called "significant coverage", which basically means that there needs to be sources that cover the topic in-depth (100 words on a topic has been a proposed standard, although it is not a hard rule). I'll leave a note about it on the draft page and will leave it to someone else on whether to accept it or not. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:34, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Blank line before heading
It is a strong style guideline, universally practiced, to put a blank line before a heading. Just so you know... Dicklyon (talk) 23:01, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

| I'm very impressed by your contributions to football-related articles; including the creation of them; including C. O. Brocato and very recently, Ian Cunningham. Thanks for your contributions to this project! ~ Tails Wx (he/him, aroace, 🐾) 19:37, 11 January 2024 (UTC) |
- @Tails Wx: Thank you! I've always remembered you as the user who came one ITN entry away from eliminating me from last year's WikiCup, which I eventually won!
BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:43, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ha, I remember that! I was just about to mention it. I actually had one ITN entry that I scrambled to work on. I still remember it to this date; Lloyd Erskine Sandiford. I desperately worked on it for a bit but it couldn't have happened at a worse time, I was actually at a sports-related event. I presumed it to be ready; but it still needs some sources and work, thus it really wasn't ready to be posted at ITN back then. But anyway, I congratulate you on last year's WikiCup victory, and I promise you that I'll prevail the next time this situation happens! ;) (I'm doubtful it will, however.) ~ Tails Wx (he/him, aroace, 🐾) 23:02, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, and by the way, I'm curious: on C. O. Brocato, why did ya decide to tag the newspapers.com references with {{open access}}, although they're freeview clippings? Just curious; I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks! ~ Tails Wx (he/him, aroace, 🐾) 22:56, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- That's just how I've done it. I think tagging it with "open access" makes sense for the clippings, since anyone can view them, whereas plain page searches (e.g. [1]) are tagged with "url-access=subscription" since only subscribers can view them. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:09, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- That's fair; I always thought of tagging them with {{free access}} for the clippings, since anyone could view them as ya stated above, but tagging with {{open access}} sounds reasonable. :) ~ Tails Wx (he/him, aroace, 🐾) 23:17, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @BeanieFan11, I actually had been discussing this with Tails off wiki and encouraged them to reach out for clarification. I've been doing some digging and I found this discussion: Wikipedia talk:Newspapers.com/Archive 1#Use of "via" and "free access" symbol in Newspapers.com citations
- The example at Wikipedia:Newspapers.com was modified to remove free access from the reference in 2018 based on that discussion. I feel like I've been spending days trying to figure out what's the most correct way to handle this situation since I plan to continue to use Newspaper.com refs for the content I'm trying to promote. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:59, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know where I originally got the idea for "open access" for the clippings (probably from watching someone else do it ); not sure if there's a "most correct" way to handle the situation but I think it ultimately comes down to individual editor preference – I've seen different editors format it at least four different ways.
