Nice work updating the game scores, thanks SPhilbrick(Talk) 23:21, 17 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm very interested in improving coverage of women's basketball. I thought briefly about forming a Wikiproject, but while researching, realized that a task force would be ideal. There are two major advantages of a task force over a Wikiproject. First is that the task force can leave some of the bureaucracy to the parent Wikiproject. Second, and possibly more important, is that a task force can have more than one parent Wikiproject. While WikiProject Basketball is an obvious parent, so is WikiProject Women's sport, and the task force may be able to draw from both.

According to this process for starting a task force, the first thing to do is gather consensus, so I am sending this to some editors who have been active in editing relevant articles. If there is sufficient interest, I'll take a first stab at filling out the task force template and creating a draft task force page.

At this point, all I need is an answer to two questions:

1. I would (or would not) be interested in being part of a task force to improve the coverage of women's basketball
2. I think a different approach would be better (followed by alternative).SPhilbrick(Talk) 12:25, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Basketball/Women's basketball has been created. I haven't yet added it to the Wikiproject pages, but will do that, however, I wanted to let you know it exists, and has some suggested tasks.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 19:11, 10 August 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What're your sources for the name change for Fox College Sports to Stadium College Sports? Thanks. BilCat (talk) 08:58, 21 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You need to actually cite the sources in the article, per WP:RS, when you change the name of the article. (Please reply here. Thanks.) BilCat (talk) 19:45, 21 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

BilCat, there were mitigating circumstances that made citing a source impossible. You cannot cite seeing that DirecTV changed the name, and you cannot cite Zap2it logos, especially since many people don't have access to those networks and can't view the page. Both are acceptable sites when it comes to verifying a change, but neither of them contained any sort of article showing when the change was made. It wasn't until this morning that I found the Bend Broadband article, which was after the change was made.Bigddan11 (talk) 21:14, 21 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That's a good indicator that the change shouldn't have been made until you had a citeable source. But that's water under the bridge now. And now that you have a citation, please add it to the article. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 21:19, 21 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

An article you recently created, 2023 NJIT Highlanders men's volleyball team, is not suitable as written to remain published. While it appears to be notable, it needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. There are large sections which are wholly uncited. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask on my talk page. When you have the required sourcing (and every assertion needs a source), and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Or feel free to ping me to take another look.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:30, 23 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Turnagra was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

I don't think the sources you've got are enough to demonstrate notability for this topic, especially as there doesn't even appear to be an article for the team as a whole (let alone a single season of theirs). Perhaps start with an article about the team generally and if that works out then single seasons could be considered down the line once notability is demonstrated?

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:2023 NJIT Highlanders men's volleyball team and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Please do not add back the uniform combinations for the games. These were removed by me per WP:FANCRUFT.--Rockchalk717 05:31, 22 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Rockchalk717: What you have removed is information that Wiki recommends including. BYU uses 4 traditional colors: white, navy, royal, and black. However they no longer use traditional uniforms. In 2021 BYU used 12 different uniform combinations over 13 games, though they had 26 uniform combinations. In 2022 they used 13 different combinations over 13 games. To open 2023, their uniform combination was a first time ever useage. It has become such a distinguishable, noteable fact that it is being published amongst newspapers and various sites which include Deseret News, Sports Illustrated, Bleacher Report, and ESPN. It is also important to include because there are instances where both schools have similar color schemes. Both BYU and Kansas, for example, have a combination of royal blue and white within their uniforms. So how do you distinguish them? BYU has done so by deciding to use one of their navy uniforms rather than one of the royal ones. Bigddan11 (talk) 13:30, 22 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
