Hi Jrcla2. Nicholls State University's official colors are red and gray. Pure red (#FF0000) and pure gray (#808080). Please see the following link to the Nicholls State University offical website. http://www.nicholls.edu/about/fast-facts/. It's a little bright, but red (#FF0000) and gray (#808080) are the offical colors.
I would like your help with the football teams infobox. I can't figure out how to make the following items show up in the infobox on the page. FCSPlayoffs = 3, ConfTitles = 3, and pagFreeLabel = Outfitter/PagFreeValue = Adidas. When in edit mode they appear, but not when page isn't being edited. Thanks.

If I were a betting man, I would say Mike Muscala will hit the 2000 point, 1000 rebound marks this season. He currently sits at 1,780 points and 927 boards and he's having a great year. Figuring a minimum of 12 remaining games (regular season and one conference tourney game), he'd need to average 18.3 ppg and 6.1 rpg - both below his season averages (and they'll probably get another couple postseason games). Elias Harris also has a shot (1,631 points, 850 rebounds) but I think he is going to miss on the points unless he picks up his pace and/or Gonzaga makes a strong postseason run. When I figure 4 postseason (conference or NCAA tourney) it looks like he'd need about 23 points and 9 boards a game. Rikster2 (talk) 18:20, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Muscala hit 2000/1000 a few days ago. Rikster2 (talk) 00:35, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
i undid your edit on the bert bell article. I really no nothing about navboxes. I did not put that navbox thingie in the article cause i dont know how to do stuff like that. But, I will buy that he can be considered the general manager of the eagles while he was the coach, owner, and president of the eagles. If you feel that strongly about it, then revert my edit. I think it's splitting hairs at this time; was Bert Bell officially ever know as the general manager of the Eagles - no. But you have to put things in context. When Bert Bell was the owner/president/coach of the Eagles did he carry out all the duties (which I consider to be that of a GM) of a present day football GM, yes. If you feel strongly about this topic, (I do not), then just revert my edit, no big deal.Ijustreadbooks (talk) 05:26, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Jrcla, Cuchullain and I have filed ANI reports regarding Drago's continued disruptive editing and sock-puppetry.

I heard that you're considering deleting the NFC Championship-winning coaches template, and I must say that I respectfully disagree with your opinion. I see nothing wrong with having templates of coaches who have won the NFC & AFC Championships in the NFL. It shows that they've been successful as a coach, and visitors of Wikipedia will learn when said coach captained his team to a conference title. Mr. Brain (talk) 04:01, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Sir, I respect your decision to nominate my Paul Brown coaching tree section, but I must tell you that since all of the names in Brown's coaching tree section do have some connection to him, I don't necessarily think said section should be deleted. Let me know if there is anything I can do to have it avoid deletion, please. Mr. Brain (talk) 21:13, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
At this time, I'm hesitant to hand out a long block, because I just don't have a good feel for his editing habits. I'm going to post a message on his talk page, and see how he responds. Zagalejo^^^ 01:34, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Just so you know, sir, I've changed my position on the Paul Brown coaching tree section. However, in regards to the actual image of Brown's coaching tree, I request permission to add the number of championships each individual coach in his tree has won in parentheses.

Jrcla2 - Do we want to put a concentrated effort towards completing this year's CPOY articles? I think we have anticipated some winners/likely winners (I created Jake Cohen, Nate Wolters and a couple others I thought were likely candidates, I think DJ Cooper is the probable MAC winner, etc). Seems like every year we get further behind the 8-ball on these because some don't get created in season or shortly thereafter. What do you think? I can sign up to create Stan Okoye and Ray McCallum.

The DYK project (nominate) 08:02, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
Jrcla, I suggest that we open an RfC on the WP:CBB talk page to determine an explicit project consensus regarding navboxes for conference-level championships and awards. I believe that this "understanding" already exists, but to my knowledge there was never an explicit determination of consensus. It would be helpful if we had a policy to which we could point when such issues arise. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:42, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Jrcla2, now that you're on a college basketball navbox cleanup kick, here are a whole bunch more that should be deleted: Category:NCAA Division I basketball conference season navigational boxes. There are essentially just footer retreads of the standings templates. We purged all college football navboxes of this sort about a year ago; see; here. Care to TfD these? Thanks, Jweiss11 (talk) 04:12, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Speaking of deleting navboxes, didn't we as a project decide not to do conference "Freshman Of the Year" navboxes? I seem to remember the discussion about the Big East template. Well, now there is a new one - Template:Southeastern Conference Men's Basketball Rookie of the Year navbox - by the same guy as the other ones you are dealing with if I am not mistaken. Rikster2 (talk) 12:55, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Jrcla2, you need to be aware of this discussion at MOS: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Years; reverts. This discussion grew out of a feature article review for a basketball player article. Before jumping into the discussion, I suggest that you read the relevant MOS discussions. As I'm sure you can see, this has the potential to screw up the currently used year span conventions in the NBA player infoboxes. After reading the MOS sections on point, let's talk.

You deleted a list of articles for notable people from South Jersey. I can assure you I read every article and deleted various people who did not have articles or separate supporting material.

Hey man, I just noticed that last month you moved the LBSU dirtbags article under the notion that Dirtbags is the official team name.

Thanks for uploading File:Utah Flash logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Why did you ask to have it redirected?

I see that you pointed out [Talk:Cal Poly Mustangs baseball here] that "User:Marco Guzman, Jr keeps unilaterally moving SLO sports articles without discussion. He is an alumnus of the school and often edits Cal Poly articles with bias" User:Marco Guzman, Jr is currently adding massive amounts of boosterism to all Cal Poly Pomona articles and vandalising all Cal Poly San Luis Obispo articles. An example is Center for Coastal Marine Sciences-he keeps vandalising/trying to delete it despite being reverted many times by several editors over the years. We all know that Cal Poly Pomona has much lower quality students than Cal Poly San Luis Obispo--Clungmate (talk) 02:24, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
See what I found on California Polytechnic State University talk page. One editor said: Marco Guzman, Jr clearly has a conflict of interest-he is carrying chips about those more fortunate than him. He went to the third–class school called California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and his issues have no relevance here. I am restating the sourced facts which he previously removed from this very page and also from the California Polytechnic State University article. Marco Guzman, Jr removed the following sourced materials:

Hi, I just read your proposal at CFDS. Given the ambiguity of the title Wilkes-Barre Barons, I suggest that Category:Wilkes-Barre Barons players should be a disambiguation page, using ((category disambiguation)). It would be better to place the new basketball players category at Category:Wilkes-Barre Barons (basketball) players. Category names should be less ambiguous than articles, partly because people can't see the description of what they are adding if they use WP:HOTCAT.

Hi Jrcla2. I noticed you removed two of VCU's assistant coaches from last season's team page. I'm a little confused by the change (and also by the original version). Prior to your edit, the infobox listed the assistant coaches as Jamion Christian, Mike Rhoades, and Will Wade. Your edit left only Will Wade. On VCU's website, they list on their 2012-13 roster that the associate head coach was Mike Rhoades, and Jeremy Ballard was the only assistant coach. I want to make sure I'm not missing something before I change the page again to reflect what's on VCU's athletic department website. City boy77 (talk) 21:45, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi Jrcla2,
Why did you undo my Bob McAdoo edits? For most of the NBA articles of a person who's been a player and coach they separate the accomplishments, I was only trying to make it easier to read.
I'm sorry about the Ron Riley article. Unfortunately there are two Ron Riley basketball players, I must have confused them or accidently put the 1950 on the 1973. It was an accident, that's the first time I've done that and I do need to be careful. Most of my articles I create are fine and that don't receive negative feedback. It's not really the articles because I mainly start them and other people build on to them, they don't have to be perfect and you don't have to edit everything. If it really makes you happy, you can ban me from making new articles for a while but i'm in the process of learning about how to do it.

No problem mentioning my name, anyone could have checked the history and would have seen the cleanups anyways. I've tried to touch base with that editor a few times for various issues and he did stop using articles and user pages to test his edits, but I don't think he understands that we have a manual of style to follow. I suggested to him about using the sandbox to test his edits, but that has come back to haunt us also, as now we have to go through pages upon pages of sandbox edits just to get to his article edits. If he would use the preview button rather than saving 11 edits in the span of a minute, it would be better, but as far as banning him, I don't think that's the way to go. He obviously wants to contribute and has been editing in good faith, I just wish he had read up on policy and got a better understanding of what Wikipedia is all about before jumping right in and creating all these articles.

Why don't we talk about it? I don't think 2 people winning individual MVPs from different voting bodies are co-MVPs. To me co-MVP is a tie in voting. Why don't you do a Google search and see how many instances of this situation (SEC, B10, SoCon - or this specific case) where the players are referred to as "co-players of the year" by the media. i believe you will be hard pressed to find such cases.

The mention of the school in his article was unreferenced as well. If the addition was based on a source, why not include it both places? If there was no source on which the claim was based, why add it to the school article and risk spreading incorrect information? Alansohn (talk) 02:26, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:VisualEditor#Call for audit and rollback that you may find interesting.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:59, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Jrcla2! Just curious, after seeing the Delaware–James Madison football rivalry article and this edit where you stated that Delaware doesn't have a rivalry with W&M, how we should define which CAA competitors are rivals and which aren't? I understand classifying those annual games with special trophies as rivalries, but not sure where to draw the line with other teams. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 03:46, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

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:
I agree a task force is a much better route to take than a separate WikiProject. My concern is what you were thinking about college women's basketball, whose parent WikiProjects should be WP College Basketball and WP Women's Sport (not the umbrella WP Basketball). Hundreds of categories, images and articles pertaining to college women's basketball are already tagged with ((WikiProject College basketball)), and I believe they should continue to be tagged as such. Jrcla2 (talk) 12:40, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
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) 19:14, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
Hey, I thought of something. How about I commit to doing the last 2 SoCon POYs and in return you create two articles that fill in national champ templates (full list of redlinks on my user page)? This might help keep it interesting. Rikster2 (talk) 14:48, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Got it. For some reason, that page has been created twice. Zagalejo^^^ 00:05, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi Jrcla2, so the name for St. Francis (NY) has been changed to St. Francis Brooklyn. In the 2013-2013 Standings I included a reference which shows the School's wish to have its brand be St. Francis Brooklyn and not St. Francis (NY). The article is in this link St. Francis Brooklyn. Additionally Long Island, should probably be LIU Brooklyn. If you look at the ESPN standings that is how it is displayed, also you will notice there that the St. Francis Brand has not been changed yet.
I think they are changing these names only to reflect the movement of the Nets to Brooklyn. So they are trying to capitalize on that, maybe?

Hi Jrcla2, sorry to bother you if I am. I am going to request National Hardwood Lumber Association for deletion and put it on article wizard for approval. Can you delete it?

Awhile back I proposed creating a new college basketball player infobox to move away from Template:Infobox NCAA athlete as it is clunky and not that aesthetically pleasing. College football has done this, and their box looks a lot nicer. In the ensuing discussion, Bagumba had an interesting idea to actually move to Template:infobox basketball biography (with some modifications). The advantage there is that it would eliminate converting infoboxes after a player completes their eligibility, but I am sure there are other issues to consider. How do you feel about moving away from NCAA athlete (either to basketball biography or a new box altogether)? In the discussion, I suggested that we move to basketball biography for any non-current college player, regardless of if they play pro ball or not (see Charles Cleveland for an example of one who never played pro ball). I like this because it still captures all the relevant college data, plus draft history, etc. I am thinking about going back and coverting some of my old All-American player articles this way and wanted to see if it is a direction you'd agree with as well.

In FC Barcelona Bàsquet, the page is in the category Basketball teams in Spain, while the category FC Barcelona Bàsquet is in it as well. Articles like Houston Rockets and other NBA teams have the same. It makes it easier to find a team because you don't have to search in two lists. So what is the problem? --Harryhurry (talk) 13:28, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
I have no problem with your edit. I have seen mascot used to have the college match the pro teams coached in cases where someone has done both, but I have also seen it the way you changed it to and with the college name spelled out (see Steve Clifford). Truth is, the community hasn't really discussed these cases since the coach fields were added. At some point, we probably need to figure that out, but I like the way you edited these just fine. Rikster2 (talk) 15:29, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
What is the thinking behind this. I added that cat to a number of pages, so if it doesn't belong, there are a number of places to consider.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 14:38, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Because of subsequent edits, I cannot tell when you or Bsuorangecrush changed the name, but I created the page as "Template:2013–14 Ohio Valley Conference men's basketball standings", which is not only the correct name, but is the name that has been used in the past. As you said, know why you are reverting something. GWFrog (talk) 13:50, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

I know you created Tony Mitchell (basketball, born 1992). I was wondering if you think it is relevant to include that this year's class of rookies voted him far and away the most athletic rookie in the class.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:29, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
An editor moved the Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns football article to Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football a couple days ago without any discussion even though consensus had been reached in favor of Louisiana–Lafayette as recently as June 2013. I was able to revert most of his edits, but for some reason it's not allowing me to move the main football article back to where it should be. I tried posting it on the move request page, but a bot has deleted it twice. Would you please help revert the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football page back to Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns football? Thank you. Treydavis3 (talk) 22:44, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Jrcla2, thanks for the recognition with that barnstar. I had been aiming to tackle the NBA coach navboxes for some time, so when Rikster kicked off the effort, I jumped on it. The NBA team navboxes still need a lot of work. All the best, Jweiss11 (talk) 00:46, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Jrcla2, nice work standardizing all those college basketball team navboxes. I created a new category, Category:NCAA Division I men's basketball team navigational boxes, to group all these. Also tweaked some of the color schemes simply and standardize them. Thanks for all your effort here. Jweiss11 (talk) 02:58, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
To which I might add the question, why did you put a Georgetown Hoya nav template and category on a public high school in DC? John from Idegon (talk) 05:27, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
Wouldn't it make more sense, if someone is searching for Green Wave or THundering Herd, to provide a link that takes them to the actual athletic programs pages, instead of to the college main page? Even if the college's main page wikilink has to stay the same, surely there's a better way to format that would provide a quick way to get a user where they're going, no?
I understand that you spend a lot a of time on these college athletics pages, but that certainly doesn't mean you have to just revert without explanation anyone else's contributions. Please reconsider. Thanks. Rockypedia (talk) 14:58, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Please stop reverting my edits which are correcting historically inaccurate information. You are not providing any explanation as to why. Please refer to article on the National Invitational Tournament for relevant sources, or discuss on the talk page on the College Basketball Project or individual template talk pages. Thank you.
The relevant sections of the NIT article are below.
The Helms Athletic Foundation retroactively selected the NIT champion as its national champion for 1938 (Temple), and chose the NIT champion over the NCAA champion once, in 1939 (Long Island).[1] More recently, the mathematically based Premo-Poretta Power Poll published in the ESPN College Basketball Encyclopedia retroactively ranked teams for each season prior to 1949, with the NIT champion finishing ahead of the NCAA champion in 1939 and 1941.[2] Between 1939 and 1950, when teams could compete in both tournaments, only DePaul (1945),[3] Utah (1947),[4] and San Francisco (1949)[5] claim or celebrate national championships for their teams based solely on an NIT championship,[6][7][8][9] although Long Island recognizes its selection as the 1939 national champion by the Helms Athletic Foundation.[10]
In 1950, the NCAA ruled that no team could compete in both tournaments, in effect indicating that if a team were eligible for the NCAA tournament, it had better play in it.[11] Since then, the NCAA tournament has clearly been the major one, with conference champions and the majority of the top-ranked teams participating in it. Not until 1951, when the NCAA expanded to 16 teams, did the numbers of unique teams in the two annual tournaments exceed 19.

was invoked but never defined (see the help page).I don't like the idea of disallowing known notable achievements. I felt that I made it clear that the achievement was not officially recognized, and I don't see why we cannot include unofficial achievements on the same page with official ones.Hoops gza (talk) 20:32, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
I believe that blocks and other statistics were officially recorded among many conferences (such as the Southwest Conference, to which Houston belonged) before 1985-86, it's just that the entire NCAA started tracking blocks in 1985-86. As long as I can provide a reliable source, I see no reason why I cannot start a separate list on the same page.Hoops gza (talk) 20:40, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Fine. However, since Olajuwon blocked an incredible 16 shots which would have tied the official record, I would like to mention this occurrence in the lead. I doubt that I will find many if any other instances like this.Hoops gza (talk) 19:59, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
Chris Roupas. Do you think it is legit? I think it might be a well fleshed out article of a non-notable person and maybe bogus altogether. All the on line references seem to track back to a blog written by the guy who created the article. Rikster2 (talk) 21:07, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Corkythehornetfan (talk) 01:22, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
