Hi Mdnavman. I read your new article on the Spanish destroyer Furor, and I was thinking of nominating it for Did You Know?, the list of interesting facts from new articles which appears on the main page. I thought the story about fleeing Fort-de-France under the pretense of testing her engines would make a good fact for the main page. However, the DYK selection criteria require that the fact be followed immediately by an inline citation. So, I wondered if you'd like to provide a citation in that paragraph to which of your references it appears in, and then I (or you) could nominate it to appear on DYK. Let me know what you think!

Hi Mdnavman, thank you for adding many useful articles about Navy ships. I wanted to point out that per Wikipedia's Manual of Style, years should not be linked in most cases. Please see MOS:UNLINKYEARS for more information. Years should be linked when they are part of a complete date so that Wikipedia's date preferences feature will work. I have taken the liberty of fixing a few of the articles you created. Hopefully you will find this helpful. Regards, Accurizer (talk) 23:29, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mdnavman. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Just a reminder that you don't need to add "~~~~mdnavman" at the end of your edit summaries, as you did here - people can see that it was you who made the change just by examining the page history. (You should, of course, continue to sign your contributions on article talk pages with "~~~~" though). Regards, DH85868993 (talk) 07:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! There is, however, another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--OsamaK 07:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mdnavman - good to see a couple of new stubs for places in Nunavut. A couple of small things for future reference though, i case you're making any more of them - firstly all of Canada's provinces and territories have their own geo-stub templates now, so you can use ((nunavut-geo-stub)) instead of ((canada-geo-stub)); secondly, you only need to use ((DEFAULTSORT)) if you want to have the article sort under something different to the first word of its title (you don't need to put it on articles like Grinnell Land). Not a real biggie in either case, just FYI. Keep up the good work! Grutness...wha? 23:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mdnavman! I noticed your contributions to a ship article, and thought you might be interested in WikiProject Ships, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of ships of all kinds.

Sorry, but I have removed the links to ships which you have recently added to river articles. Other than sharing a name, there is no reason to have the links; they are better suited for disambiguation pages. Cheers --Ckatz^chat_spy 20:41, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Cape Maisí requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon)) to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Thanks for doing so many of the less prominent ships. I would ask you, though, to not put every ship into the Category:Ships of the United States Navy. They should go into their appropriate sub-category only - most likely their class category and that's it. Thanks again. Jinian (talk) 21:38, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On 5 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article USS Timbalier (AVP-54), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

BorgQueen (talk) 03:12, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understand you're splitting this into two articles, one each for her USCG and USN careers. I notice that you moved the existing article to 'USCGC Unimak (AVP-31)', which is a misnomer as AVP-31 was her USN designation, not USCG. Can you clear that up? Thanks for the work you've been doing on ship articles—much appreciated. Maralia (talk) 02:26, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for cleaning that up. For the sake of edit history continuity, can you leave a null edit at the new article for the USS incarnation, with an edit summary linking to the article that contains the prior edit history (the new USCGC one)? Sorry to be so nitpicky, but GFDL is a hairy beast, and without a record in the history, the new USS article appears to have been written by you in one fell swoop. Thanks again! Maralia (talk) 04:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maralia, I'd be happy to use a null edit ensure edit history continuity, etc., but \i don't know what a null edit is or how to leave one, nor do I know how to provide an edit summary that contains the prior edit history. Could you walk me through all of this so I know how? I hope it's not something too cumbersome, as I hope not to be deterred from unravelling overly merged ship histories (like the U.S. World War II seaplane tenders redirected to 1980s Philippine ship articles and so on). Mdnavman (talk) 22:57, 20 December 2008 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be obtuse. A 'null edit' is one that effectively changes no content and is made simply to add a note to the edit history. The edit is performed by merely adding a space in the article text (or a blank line at the end of it), and putting the note in the edit summary field. I have done so in this edit: [1]. In the future, if you split articles, when you paste content into a 'new' article, you could just mention where that content came from in your edit summary. Hope that explains everything. Thanks again. Maralia (talk) 22:25, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If an article should be retitled with a name that better matches the naming conventions, as was the case with USS Absecon (1918) → USS Absecon (ID-3131), may I suggest using the "Move" tab next time? You don't need to have any special privileges to move an article if the other name is not already taken, and don't worry about mistakes, since they can easily be fixed.

What you did in this case is called a "cut and paste" move, meaning that you cut the text from one article and pasted it into another. A "cut and paste" move doesn't preserve the edit history for the article, which is important for the GFDL license for the text. Using the "Move" tab also has the advantage of moving the article's talk page along with the article to preserve WikiProject notices and any discussion about aspects of the article that may have occurred in the past.

I've moved the talk page and have asked for assistance to correct the article's edit history, so you don't need to do anything else, but I wanted to let you know so that you can avoid this in the future. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. — Bellhalla (talk) 01:07, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done on the excellent work. I was wondering, are there many Vietnamese naval vessels that have not been included on Wikipedia? Also I have moved some of the titles because it is quite obvious that they are typos, like Ngo Quyen, Ly Thuong Kiet and Pham Ngu Lao, all famous warriors. What do you think of changing the footnote to point out that the source was erroneous rather than an alternative spelling, as it isn't a case of Muhammad and Mohammad, for instance.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article USRC Active, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

This disambiguation page lists many ships with the same name, but only one is actually an article.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod)) notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi, disambiguation pages are usually sorted to optimize for the most likely pages. SOMETIMES alphabetical is appropriate. Do you mind if I redo some of the page? If you haven't seen it, WP:MOSDAB might be instructive. (John User:Jwy talk) 21:03, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

USS Remlick and USS Remlik are apparently the same ship. DANFS agrees with the Remlick spelling. I would have redirect your new article but maybe there are elements that can be added to Remlick before redirecting. --Brad (talk) 00:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I saw you had created a substantial number of Categories of the name "[Year] ships", like Category:1784 ships. When the new ship years/decades/centuries system was setup, the consensus at WikiProject Ships was to not have categories for individual year categories prior to 1850 but to only categorize ships by decade before that (or by century only for 16th-century vessels or earlier). The rationale was that for ships prior to 1850 (based on the articles already in existence on WP), no individual year category would have more than a few ships in it, reducing the utility of such a category. The rule of thumb agreed on for determining whether or not to create a new categories was if there was more than one screenful (i.e. 200 articles) in a decade category, then create the additional year categories. I would also like to ask that you not recatgorize ships prior to 1850 into the year categories that were created. If you would like for the current consensus to be revisited, please raise your concerns on the WikiProject Ships talk page. Thanks. — Bellhalla (talk) 17:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've recently been clearing up some WWI photographs, and stumbled across File:HMS Cornwallis (1901) firing at Dardanelles 18-19 February 1915.jpg.

As far as I can tell, the metadata on this has got garbled at some point before you scanned it - it's a version of commons:File:HMS Cornwallis broadside Suvla December 1915.jpg, which is recorded by the Imperial War Museum as Q.13682; "December 1915. HMS CORNWALLIS firing at Turkish positions after the evacuation of Anzac and Suvla. The CORNWALLIS was the last ship to leave Suvla Bay."

Any thoughts on what we should do with this? Delete it as a duplicate, or copy to Commons and rename? Shimgray | talk | 11:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wouyld you mind reading out Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Linking and autoformatting of dates. IMO an article such as USS Beverly W. Reid (APD-119) is much disfigured by your decision, against MoS guidance, to link all dates.

Thanks for uploading File:HMS King Edward VII (1903) in early 1907.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:39, 23 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Description says this was "scanned", but scanned from where? Wknight94 ^talk 11:39, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't combing through your old images - someone else found them at Commons and tagged them for deletion.

May I give you some tips about articles that will save both of us some time? I don't want this to come out the wrong way but some constructive criticism is in order here. Since I seem to be the only ship project member that assesses most of the new articles there are some things you could do to help me out.

• Please place the ((WPSHIPS|class=|B1=|B2=|B3=|B4=|B5=)) project tag on the talk page of every new article (including categories, templates and disambiguation) you start. If you don't feel like assessing the article that's ok; I will get to it eventually. There is a bot that tracks new articles but it sometimes malfunctions or doesn't run for several days at a time and that's when I miss articles. Today I found about 50 articles you started that weren't tagged.
• See wp:overlink. A lot of the wiki links you place in an article aren't really needed so this may save your fingers from having to type them all in.

Thanks. --Brad (talk) 22:45, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just saw some of your edits to U.S. submarine class categories where you had added era/conflict categories. The WP:SHIPS consensus is not to add era or conflict categories to ship class categories, but it's okay to add them to ship class articles, though. You might take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Categorization to see what the project's consensus on categories; the section "Ship class category categorization" specifically addresses ship class categories. The whole thing can be a bit confusing, but, please don't let this stop you from continuing your great work on ship articles on Wikipedia. — Bellhalla (talk) 22:08, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great work on uploading all of the submarine photos you have been working on! They really help out the articles quite a bit. One thing you might consider doing: since all of the photos seem to be official U.S. Navy photos, you might consider uploading them to Wikimedia Commons instead of Wikipedia. (Your same Wikipedia login information should work there.) Any photo with a free-use license—U.S. Navy or government photos are public domain, and thus free-use—are welcome there. If they are uploaded at Commons, you can still use them in Wikipedia in the same manner (just use the [[File:Imagename]] format just like you do now), but users on non-English Wikipedias can use them as well; when they are on the English Wikipedia only, they can't be used on other language projects. Also, free-use images on Wikipedia are eventually moved to Commons anyway, so by uploading them there yourself, you save the time of other editors. (There are over 18,000 files in Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons waiting to be moved.)

It looks like from what you've uploaded that you're aware of this, but one other thing to keep in mind about photos from NavSource is that not all them are public domain photos. If you stick to those that are identified as U.S. Navy photos (or photos from other U.S. government agencies) everything is good. Other photos there are under the copyright of whomever took the photos and not free-use. — Bellhalla (talk) 13:57, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, I was pretty sure you were aware of it. :) Commons is not that hard. A lot of the image template there have the same name, so things like Template:Information and Template:PD-USGov-Military-Navy work seamlessly between WP and Commons. — Bellhalla (talk) 21:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

		For doing a really complete job in creating the new article Macchi M.70.

Hi there, great photos ! Is there any particular reason you uploaded them to the English language Wikipedia rather than Commons ? If they're on Commons they're more widely available such as for other language Wikis. Cheers. Rod. Rcbutcher (talk) 04:47, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:04, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just noticed that you have uploaded a few images from Aviastar for use in aircraft articles. You have said that all of them are not attributed but as Aviastar is know to infringe copyright they are unlikely to tell us where they were acquired from. I appreciate some of them are in the public domain because they were published before 1923 but I think a little more care on attribution is needed. You may consider finding better sources before uploading images from this site as this might save others having to research every image. Thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 15:38, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know many of the entries in the Year in Aviation articles are lacking citations (I've been meeaning to catch up with adding them for some time), but it would help if you could add them for the entries you recently added and any others you're going to add later.

As the Year in Aviation articles are international articles the international date format "Day Month" should be used rather than "Month Day". Cheers, DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 00:09, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All the Year in Topic articles were formatted Day Month when the dates were wikilinked.This is beacuase they are international articles. When the bot went through and unlinked them it resulted in the dates being given, incorrectly, as Mopnth Day. Any such article I come across I have changed to the correct format, but I am not interested in tracking down every Year in Topic article just to make a fix caused by a, not necessarily appropriately used, bot; my to-do list is far too extensive as it is. If that means some articles get left with the incorrect format until I or someone else decides to fix them that really isn't that much of a problem, I suspect the majority of those articles have other unresolved issues as well (particularly as too whether all the events included are of sufficient international notability).

Thank you for uploading File:Steam_launch_Mist.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot (talk) 02:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of USS Dixie III (SP-701), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/170701.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Mdnavman - I saw your edit to Ralph Munroe and the link to USS Tommy Traddles. In the USS Tommy Traddles article you cite the Ralph Munroe wikipedia article as a source. You can't use Wikipedia articles as sources. See: WP:CIRCULAR The information contained in the Ralph Munroe article about USS Tommy Traddles evidently came from Lloyd's Register of American Yachts. I'd suggest you look in that book and then use it as a source. GroveGuy (talk) 20:27, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it makes a difference, as you obviously support the keeping, but should you not put

• Keep just in case? :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 08:33, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know that it is pretty disillusionary, I feel it too often myself. The real issue there was the MilHist though. I had to change mine to merge as, being a member of the MilHist project, I can only go by what the guidelines and MilHist MoS say. They can, of course, be changed by consensus but it is unlikely that such a change would occur.

I also tried to find any notability of the ship in question and could only find about 20 lists, seemingly the wikipages copied onto various websites. I could not find any other references to the ship either. It may be that the list idea is correct, but it is unlikely to work out as each line of entry would be very long to fit in all the information. It is true that the infobox is better, but no system exists for having an info box for each ship as that still would mean a separate page for each one.

I have tried to come up with an alternative, but the only one I can think of is to keep the box at the bottom and cut them down to a minimum of pages. For example if there are twenty ships of one type with exactly the same dimension, powerplant, wheel housings etc., then each of the SC XXX would all link to the same page. Notable examples would of course get their own page, as would "one-offs" those that had practically nothing in common with others of the same class.

A tag has been placed on File:Breda Ba.82 rear view.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hang on)) to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 00:06, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding some information to the Larry Walters entry.

Wilcox, Jr..You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Regards to James R. Stark and Joseph C. Strasser. I've cleaned up both articles to be more complaint to standards. Most importantly, the duplicate refs, the overly large photo in the infobox and the misplacement of the naval portal. I did the same to the talk pages. Bgwhite (talk) 07:44, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I moved almost all your files to Commons so the whole world can use them.

But this file could not be located on the source mentioned. Could you perhaps check? There is also a question about the copyright as mentioned here. Can you help?

And someone raised a few questions on Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Fiat CR.32.jpg. Perhaps you can help there too? --MGA73 (talk) 08:49, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reply on my talk page. I can't explain why but now I can also see the drawing on "Flight". :-) Now we just need to know if Flight was also for sale in the US.

I checked some of the files you uploaded and they all looked good. So I moved them all to Commons. As for the problem that files may not be eligible for Commons I can undelete any files that gets deleted on Commons. --MGA73 (talk) 18:06, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:RADM Yates Stirling.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:05, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Md! Apart from you and me, no-one has done much on ANA Skymaster Amana crash for quite a while. I am presently using my Sandbox2 to comprehensively expand the article. I have posted a message at Talk:ANA Skymaster Amana crash to alert people to the text on my Sandbox and invite comments. If you are interested, could you have a look at Talk:ANA Skymaster Amana crash and let me know your thoughts? Thanks.
I am also proposing a change to the name of the article to more closely match the current guidelines provided by the WikiProject/Aviation community. Dolphin (t) 00:51, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mdnavman,

Way back in 2008 you changed the article Yakutat from a redirect to the city article to a disambiguation. I was wondering if you had any objects to having it turned back to a redirect, as the city is the origin of the name of all the other articles listed in the disambiguation and it seems like it is most current and relevant topic to the title.

Nice new article. There is a nice story of how how Mountbatten made the ship the "cock of the flotilla" here. Not sure I agree with his summary of Admiral Wishart's career but its a good story. Victuallers (talk) 10:19, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On 27 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article HMS Versatile (D32), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the destroyer HMS Versatile once rammed and almost sliced a submarine in half during a military exercise off the coast of Gibraltar? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/HMS Versatile (D32). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi, with this edit, you expanded the article for this class of ship, and in the infobox, under "Ship armament", you noted;

Peacetime: none, Wartime: probably 2 x 20-mm Phalanx CIWS

I wanted to ask if you had a source for that info. I see that apparently all 15 articles for every ship in the class, now have this noted in their infoboxes as well. I have tried hunting around myself for a source to support this, but can't seem to find any. For the most part, they appear to be unarmed, however there seems to have been some instances where they were equipped with a .50 cal MG. Of course, that could easily be brought aboard by an assigned security team, on an as-needed basis, but installing a CIWS, or 2 even, is a different matter. Please advise if you have a source to support that. Thanks - thewolfchild 16:22, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I made edit five years ago and remember little about it. Looking at the edit you sent, it seems to show that I did not enter that information into the article; I added other information (as highlighted), but not that. I don't know where it came from, and it probably was added by someone else in an even earlier edit. If not, and I just don't remember where it came from now, then I apologize and am glad someone is looking into it further.Mdnavman (talk) 17:02, 14 October 2013 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]

All NCAA Division I (or historically equivalent) season categories already exist. Please see Category:College men's basketball seasons in the United States. If you must create new Independents season categories, they need to reflect the historical usage. For example, you created Category:1955–56 NCAA University Division men's basketball independents season (which I've speedied after emptying), but see the chart on the NCAA seasons category: it wasn't "University Division" until 1956–57.

Also, please tag articles/categories etc. with ((WikiProject College basketball)) since it directly pertains to the collegiate aspect. "WikiProject Basketball" is for non-NBA, non-college basketball coverage. Thanks! Jrcla2 (talk) 00:12, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
