	The Original Barnstar
	I have gone to make different college baseball coaches profiles to update, and David has updated almost every coach at some point. Great work! Benprather (talk) 22:28, 26 November 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Summit League Baseball Player of the Year navbox. Since you had some involvement with the Summit League Baseball Player of the Year navbox redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

	The Original Barnstar
	Thanks for all of your work creating college baseball articles! Your help in expanding our coverage is much appreciated, especially with all of the coach and CWS runner up pages you have started! Billcasey905 (talk) 07:25, 5 April 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi David, thanks for all the work on CWS runners up! According to the system I've set up, South Carolina is the next one for me to work on. Having married into a Clemson family and having my own issues with the Gamecocks from going to The Citadel, I can't say I'm too keen on creating those pages. I've reached out to some editors with ties to that school in Columbia to see if they have interest in getting me out of it, to no avail. Would you be interested in taking care of those for me next so I can move on to another school? I'm wrapping up my current project, and would move back to CWS runners up next, and I'd much rather do Stanford than SCar, so if you're up for it you'd help me a lot. Many thanks!

Bill,

I'll take care of the South Carolina ones for you. Not a problem. DMC511 (talk) 20:23, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm going to start working on Wichita State next. Thanks for all of your work! Billcasey905 (talk) 13:15, 15 May 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sounds good! I'll clean up the rest! DMC511 (talk) 13:58, 15 May 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'll take Wake Forest next. Billcasey905 (talk) 12:37, 27 May 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Saw you cross off all the teams you’ve seen in the MLB. I find that interesting and I also find it ironic that one team you haven’t seen, the Atlanta Braves, is the only team I’ve seen play at home. TarheelBornBred (talk) 19:41, 8 February 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well I have 5 teams I have not seen play, but I have spent most of my adult life in American League cities, now that I live an hour from Pittsburgh, I can see the remaining teams on my list when they visit.DMC511 (talk) 19:49, 8 February 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi DMC511. I noticed you create a lot of college baseball coaches' articles. That's awesome, it's definitely an area on Wikipedia that needs attention.

I thought you would like to be aware of the NCAA coaches/players/teams searchable database. It doesn't have all records for all coaches, but it's an amazing resource to use to find dates of birth (for many, not all), tenures, schools the coaches attended as undergrads, etc. It could help you during article creation. SportsGuy789 (talk) 20:04, 25 April 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey, SportsGuy789! Thank you so much for this resource! I appreciate it! DMC511 (talk) 14:09, 26 April 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for all of your work on the CWS participants! You're doing a great job, and I appreciate it. I've been wrapped up with things at home and work, and of course this is one of a bunch of projects I'm working on, so seeing you make progress is great. Thanks again!

I saw you added the roster for Rutgers 2019 onto Wikipedia and I was wondering if you could do it for 2020 as well Bigmike2346 (talk) 15:44, 31 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Completed for you good buddy.DMC511 (talk) 08:56, 2 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you Bigmike2346 (talk) 13:27, 2 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for creating the 1952 Oregon State Beavers baseball team. It looks like their first opponent, "Pacific (OR)," has the wrong name or wrong mascot. There is a private university called Pacific University but their mascot is the Boxer. George Fox University was Pacific Academy until 1949. It's mascot is the Bruins.

The line ((cbsb link|year=1952|team=Pacific Bruins|title=Pacific (OR))) is not rendering properly since Pacific Bruins baseball does not exist and neither do any of the fall-back titles checked by ((cbsb link)).

Based on the 1953 media guide, I'm guessing they played Pacific University rather than George Fox. If it is Pacific University, changing Bruins to Boxers and changing Pacific (OR) to just Pacific should do the trick.

If it was the former Pacific Academy then changing |team= to George Fox Bruins and the |title= to George Fox should fix the problem.

Since I'm not 100% sure which one to do, I left it alone. Can you find the correct answer and make fix the page? Thanks. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:02, 5 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey can you put in the roster for Rutgers 2021 please Bigmike2346 (talk) 13:54, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

? Bigmike2346 (talk) 05:10, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well the University hasn't released a roster yet, so there isn't much I can do. It's best to wait until the fall when the roster is finalized and released.DMC511 (talk) 23:56, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello DMC511,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
