Why are you removing the awards table from it? It's not like you're changing the content, you're just putting it in a worse format. SilverserenC 20:09, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I created the table one month ago to summarize the awards, but at the end it's no so readable as I hoped. I'm trying to use a more compact and clear format.User:Oakraven81

The Original Barnstar
Congratulations on getting Connecticut Huskies women's basketball to GA status! This is a great accomplishment, especially considering the length of the article and how many highlights there are to cover. I only returned to editing a month or so ago, and just noticed that this promotion had taken place. Grondemar 23:02, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of college women's basketball coaches with 600 wins

[edit]

Thanks for doing the general updates to this page.

I see someone misread something and changed Hatchell's wins from 988 to 987, I reverted that change. However, I believe the loss number is 369 not 368. Let's make sure we agree.--S Philbrick(Talk) 01:36, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

--> Hello Sphilbrick, thank you for your dedication to college basketball articles. I know there is a dispute about Hatchell's record because of some games supension, but as you said in the article talk it's better to use NCCA website as the only reliable source for these statistics (http://web1.ncaa.org/stats/StatsSrv/careersearch). Today it states 988 wins and 368 losses, so I would stick with that. Anyway updating the record of a single coach is too much of an effort, I'll keep on with periodic general updates. Moreover, I'm thinking about the best way to introduce NCAA/NAIA divisions in the table with a color scheme that is both readable and complete. I believe it's a very valuable information, but I don't want the table to become a rainbow of colours. I'll be back with some proposal ASAP. .--Oakraven81 10 February 2017

Please note that there may be more than one issue. There is a question about the year she took off for health reasons. Someone removed those, I restored them and explained on the talk page.
More recently, there is an unexplained issue about one game. Someone changed the results by a single win, which I reverted. Someone else changed it again, although self-reverted. I have a guess, although not certain. The article about the coach Sylvia Hatchell was not currrent but the results on that page through last year end were in error, as a single win was missing from 1993-94. I fixed that yesterday. One possibility is that someone assumed the results through last year end were correct, added the 13 wins this year to get 987, and tried to change it to 987.
However, when I updated that page, I see that the cumulative losses did not match the number you used, so I also made that change and contacted you to make sure we agree.
I do agree that the page should not be updated every day, and I'm fine with updating it on occasion, and insisting that no editor make a change to a single coach, unless they are willing to do all coaches, and update the as of date. Obviously, we have have to update when Hatchell gets very close to 1000.
Regarding color, please note that the page used to be a seas of colors [1], partly to denote division. I made a change in 2015, and hope any plan you have will be done as a draft so we can reach a consensus, as a return to the old scheme would be a step backward, in my opinion.--S Philbrick(Talk) 12:54, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
