My reason for considering lifting your T-ban for Andy Ngo was, and remains, that I don't want any editor to have to constantly worry whether they're violating a T-ban or not. Therefore, I'm willing to replace your topic ban with an article ban from Andy Ngo and Talk:Andy Ngo. No gray areas there. Please note that an article ban would apply to any and all editing of the pages in question: don't correct a typo or change punctuation, don't revert vandalism. Nothing. You may discuss Ngo anywhere else on Wikipedia, with the caveat that if you discuss him a lot on other pages, or (I don't mean to ABF, but) appear to be skirting the article ban in some way, I may restore the full topic ban. Though not without a warning first. Would that suit? Feel free to instead appeal at AE or AN for an unconditional lifting of the T-ban, if you prefer. Bishonen | talk 16:11, 7 January 2020 (UTC).
Do you accept this proposal? I forgot to say that I don't think an article ban would need to be indefinite. A year would work for me. Bishonen | talk 12:47, 9 January 2020 (UTC).
Parke Davis' selection for 1901, as published in the 1935 Spalding's Foot Ball Guide (which he himself edited until his death), was Harvard. (Reference: Okeson, Walter R., ed. (1935). Spalding's Official Foot Ball Guide 1935. New York: American Sports Publishing Co. p. 233.) I own a copy of the 1935 Guide. Thus, Billingsley and Davis, the other two retrospective selectors, both chose Harvard. Jeff in CA (talk) 00:44, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
"–present" is supposed to be included; see any article on politicians and other people with terms for this. The lack of them in coaching navboxes was some archaic style that somehow was kept alive over the years. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 03:40, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

I reverted your additions to George H. Garrey because they appear to fail WP:V. Have you seen any reliable sources stating he coached for Stevens Point? It's very possible that ((Wisconsin–Stevens Point Pointers football coach navbox)) is incorrect. And even if it can be determined that he coached for a single season, I think a head coach statistics box is unwarranted and lends undue weight to a relatively minor aspect of his biography. Garrey is most known for mining geology: his article should thus not look like that of a college coach. His 4–1 season, if verifiable, can simply be stated in text. Cheers, --Animalparty!

Hello Jweiss11/Archives,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hello, I'm Dlthewave. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Race and intelligence, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

I've again removed the Global variation of IQ scores section as it was restored without explanation and the sourcing and off-topic issues have not been addressed. If you would like this content to be included, I would suggest that you add sources that demonstrate how it pertains to the Race and intelligence topic. Additionally, your "hostile and disruptive"
accusation has no place on an article talk page; please save these personal comments for user talk or noticeboards. It is neither hostile nor disruptive to ask an editor to provide sources for content that they have added. –dlthewave ☎ 13:31, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
Right now you and another editor appear to be in a slow motion edit war over whether or not to include a Global variation of IQ scores section at Race and intelligence. A slow motion edit war is still an edit war. If the ongoing discussion about the section cannot produce a clear enough consensus I would encourage you to try other methods of dispute resolution.

We still need to resolve the WP:V and WP:OR concerns in connection with our University Division and College Division football season articles (1956-1972). These concerns were previously discussed last year at User talk:Jweiss11/Archives/2019#College Division. I am going to ping @UCO2009bluejay: since he was the one who initiated that discussion.
As far as I can tell, we have made no progress in clarifying which schools were members of the University Division from one year to the next. As a result, our NCAA University Division and College Division season articles and templates are based largely on guesswork. This violates Wikipedia's core policies. I say this not as a criticism, since the source material is not easy to find.
Earlier today, I created NCAA University Division which can be used as a vehicle for clarifying some of these concerns. To summarize, though, the concerns include the following:
Given these uncertainties, our current University Division articles and templates raise "red alert" level concerns with core Wikipedia policies, including WP:V and WP:OR. Answers, suggestions, proposals? Cbl62 (talk) 19:59, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
You have pointed to the infobox in 1939 Dayton Flyers football team as a model to use in rolling out further season articles. It generally looks good to me, and I am trying to use it as a model. However, there is one issue that I take issue with. I do not think that the offensive/defensive scheme parameters should be included as a matter of routine. If there are reliable sources identifying such schemes, they can be added, but I doubt there are more than a dozen historic season articles where this parameter is properly sourced. To the contrary, these parameters have functioned for too long as a vehicle for original research, unsourced assertions, guesswork, and/or speculation. I would absolutely not encourage such practices by including the parameters as a matter of routine. Cbl62 (talk) 22:57, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
See Talk:1932 Colgate Red Raiders football team -- standards sure have changed since 2009 for rating articles. Cbl62 (talk) 17:39, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
"he was still the coach thru that whole interview (i believe)" -- can you clarify? What interview? I don't see the interview being cited in the article.
In recent season articles on Lafayette, I have described them as an independent. Some pre-existing articles also follow this, e.g., 1948 Lafayette Leopards football team. The Middle Three Conference is described in our Wikipedia article as a "scheduling alliance" rather than an actual conference. The treatment of these teams is inconsistent across Wikipedia. Compare Rutgers season articles in which I previously assumed MTC was an actual conference. We should settle on a uniform standard and apply it. I plan to do a bit more research to see how contemporary sources treat them. If you have sources or thoughts, let me know. Cbl62 (talk) 22:16, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Jweiss11/Archives,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Earlier today, you made an edit changing the location of Andy Kerr Stadium from Hamilton, New York to Hamilton (village), New York. I've been unable to find a definitive source, but during the build out of the Colgate season articles, I concluded that the stadium was located outside the village limits. See, e.g. here (I infer that the smaller yellow area is the village located at the historic core of the larger town of Hamilton).

August 16, 3pm: Great American Wiknic | |
---|---|
You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our annual summer Great American Wiknic, this year being held virtually. We look forward to seeing local Wikimedians, but would also like to invite folks from the greater New York metropolitan area (and beyond!) who might not typically be able to join us in person! Featuring artist-Wikimedian Sara Clugage's "Picnics: An Outside History" for a cultural exploration of picnicking, knowledge and society during the national panel in the first part. We encourage you to call in for the second part from a local park or natural site and share it on the video stream, as well as sharing your favorite picnic grub or other special foods with us. Is there a project you'd like to share? A question you'd like answered? A Wiki* skill you'd like to learn? Let us know by adding it to the agenda. The Wiknic is taking the place of "WikiWednesday" this month, so we will also include salon and knowledge-sharing workshop aspects.
We especially encourage folks to share your parks and foods on screen, and add your 3-minute lightning talks to our roster for the Zoom portion, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! |

You changed this article which showed the team as a member of the Metro Conference to showing it as an independent. The Memphis Tigers football media guide (here, at p. 272) says they were, in fact, members of the Metro Conference. Also, the Wikipedia article on the conference indicates Memphis was a member. Given this sourcing, what was your basis for changing to independent? Cbl62 (talk) 03:57, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Ten years ago, I'd have resisted the idea of a Michigan-Penn State rivalry article. Still not sure, but it's definitely getting closer. The teams have now played 23 times, including 11 marquee matchups in which both teams were ranked and two games (1994 and 1997) when both were in the top 5. Both teams rank in the top 10 at List of NCAA football teams by wins. Series history here. Thoughts? Cbl62 (talk) 07:42, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for killing the dead links on 1934 college football season. I rescued one of them thanks to our good friends at Internet Archive. They had a copy of the yalebulldogs.com link from 2015. I didn't bother with the Google link, I doubt very much archive.org would have archived it, and it was not needed anyway. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:22, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Four Horsemen Notre Dame.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:29, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
The consensus discussions about NOT adding “U.S” after City, State in infoboxes like Template:Infobox college coach?

I noticed that you created 1973 Northwestern Red Raiders football team. Northwestern College (Iowa) has an undergraduate student body of 1,000 (not sure what it was in 1973) and in 1973 competed in NAIA Division II. NAIA Division II represents approximately the sixth (and lowest?) tier of college football (FBS > FCS > NCAA Div II > NCAA Div III > NAIA Div I > NAIA Div II), competing at a level that is probably lower than many high school programs. While I admire the tenacity, I question the wisdom of starting season articles on NAIA football teams. Cbl62 (talk) 18:09, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Good morning. I hope this is the right place to send you this note, but I was recently referred for "speedy deletion" because of some confusion about the content that you've helped me with. I am very upset about this as my work has been very thorough and detailed, all for the sake of bringing these stories to life. I assisted you on the LA Wildcats of the 1926 AFL when you asked for it and I have complied with every request you've had on edits and changes to the pages I've submitted. I am doing this merely for fun and a deep sense of bringing light to these long-lost stories. I have no other agenda than that, and have no commercial or financial incentives on any of this. What my research has shown, in addition to bringing these old stories to light, is that I have been able to correct some mistakes that various colleges and football reference sites have had with regards to the Jefferson and Dixie teams, because they had these facts wrong, so I am helping them correct their history.
Examples are that I discovered that Oklahoma A&M (OK State, now) actually played a double-header in 1932 against Phillips and Central Oklahoma -- no one knew that, but I proved it and got the record corrected -- OK State later played Jefferson that season. Regarding Dixie, many schools, including those on Wikipedia are confusing that school with the present-day Dixie State College in Utah -- as soon as my Dixie page is fixed, I can correct those mistakes. Meanwhile, both Texas A&M-Kingsville and Texas Tech mistakenly had their games with Dixie listed as road games for both schools -- in fact, they were home games for both schools. Kingsville has acknowledged the mistake and will correct it when they publish their next record book for next season. Texas Tech has not responded yet, but I've emailed them and tweeted them.
I am also going to write a page for Nick Dobbs, the coach of the 1932-33 Jefferson/Dixie teams. About a month ago, I interviewed and discussed with his 90-year-old daughter for over an hour about what I had learned about her father, most of which she never knew, and what she recalled about him. She was born in Dallas while he was here. I tracked down her daughter-in-law through Ancestry.com, who then arranged the call with Dobbs' daughter who lives in Florida, and they are going to send me some more material and photos on Nick Dobbs for the Wikipedia entry.
Can you please assist me at getting this potential deletion stopped? I am merely an amateur at this but I really enjoy writing these stories for Wikipedia's and the readers' sake. If you are able to call me to discuss, or email me, I am happy to accommodate that, if you all are able to or allowed to do that. Thank you. BBrooksDallas (talk) 17:12, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi – quick question about when college football at Saint Mary's started? I ask because I did a quick search to see when they stopped using Redmen, which was 1988 per news report here. That report suggests that during the 1926–1935 period, the school hadn't adopted Redmen yet. But I'm not sure if they were playing football during that 1926–1935 period, so wanted to ask. Thanks.

Hello Jweiss11/Archives,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

10 | Utopes (talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Hi, I saw your question about Les Miles at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football. If it helps, I did some quick searches and found that Miles stated "Joshua Eargle will fill in as acting head coach" here, and the loss shows up on the page of Joshua Eargle. Whether Miles' statement equates to Eargle being the official coach of record isn't clear (to me). Dmoore5556 (talk) 06:45, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
Re: [5] did you mean to make this change? If you did, I think you may have forgotten to change the team name to Green Terror.
