AFDs

Hello, BeanieFan11,

Please be sure not to relist discussions too early. Just relist, at most, a few hours before their "deadline" expires, not a full day or days early. Editors can show up unepectedly to comment in AFDs and it could be unnecessary to relist a discussion that might otherwise be closed. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 06:09, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

  • @Liz: Thanks, I didn't realize that it had to be a full seven days, rather than just seven days past the starting point (e.g. a Sep. 23 nom being relisted on Sep. 30). BeanieFan11 (talk) 13:07, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

IFL Awards

Since the IFL Awards are always announced in the same post can I do like what the Big 12 Conference football individual awards do and make the External Links instead of making all the Sources and then copying them like I have in Draft:Indoor Football League individual awards right now? MarqueesCalaway (talk) 00:24, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

  • @MarqueesCalaway: The Big 12 page has a maintenance tag as doing it that way is discouraged. As you've already done a significant portion of the draft by re-using them and citing them inline, I would just continue doing it that way as that's what's preferred. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:27, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
    So would it be beneficial if one of use changed the Big 12 page? MarqueesCalaway (talk) 00:29, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
    It would - you could do it if you want, there's no requirement though. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:53, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
    I will work on it soon. Rest well my friend and shall we meet again MarqueesCalaway (talk) 02:45, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Newspapers.com

Hey Beanie,

Hope you're well. Quick question: Is Newspapers.com down for you? It hasn't been working for me the past couple of days. Everything is saying I need a special subscription. JTtheOG (talk) 04:20, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

  • @JTtheOG: It seems to be down for everyone who has access to it through the Wikipedia Library - it does still work for users who actually pay for access (not me) - see here. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:34, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Oh man..... I understand your frustrations. I've been itching to get back to it ever since the site went down, and I had already started a bunch of pages which I now cannot cite... JTtheOG (talk) 18:08, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
      • @JTtheOG: Just in case you're not aware, Newspapers.com just came back recently. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:36, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
        • Still hasn't been working for me.. did you do anything specific to re-gain access once it was back? JTtheOG (talk) 17:41, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

IFL Awards 2

Do you like the way I did Draft:Indoor Football League individual awards#Most Valuable Player. Would you be willing to nominate it if I finish it. MarqueesCalaway (talk) 21:01, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

  • @MarqueesCalaway: Either way works but the MVP style looks better in my opinion. I'm not sure what you mean by asking whether I would be "willing to nominate it" - do you mean review it for NPP or AFC? BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:10, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
    Either is fine i don't mind either way. MarqueesCalaway (talk) 21:12, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
    Whether its NPP or AFC would depend on whether you submit it as a draft or move it to mainspace yourself; but in any case, I would be willing to approve it when you're done, just let me know. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:18, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
    Thanks man I thank you for all your help on this huge project I've been working on. Thank you. MarqueesCalaway (talk) 21:24, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Reg reliable sources

Hey BeanieFan11, We coincided once on Anthony Vaz and I saw how you improved it in a really short time. That's really great work. As you have been here for a while, I wanted to ask your advice on how to find reliable sources for an Indian history event that took place on 1659, Battle of Kolhapur. Whatever sources I have cited initially has been removed citing WP:HISTRS / WP:RAJ as a reason. Also, an editor is threatening deletion in the article talk page. Per the ongoing AfD, there was a WP:citogenesis issue as well. I just wanted to know what types of sources can be added to these history related articles. It would be great, if you shed some light on this. Thanks <3 Jeraxmoira (talk) 13:53, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

  • @Jeraxmoira: Sorry, I'm not familiar with the area of Indian history (Vaz is probably the only article I've done falling under that) - if scholarly sources are needed, there appear to be some at Google Scholar here - I can't guarantee the usefulness of them, but if any look promising you can discuss them with the user nominating the article for deletion. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:08, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
    Thank you! Jeraxmoira (talk) 16:05, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Newspaper.com request

I'm not the type of person to make this request, but I need help with newspaper.com and to clip a page. I'd be very grateful if you could clip "Dennis Law makes All-Ohio Valley" from the Johnson City Press of November 25, 1977, on page 12. I need it for the Dennis Law article.

    Do I just register normally and then I have regular access as if I was paying? Klinetalk to me!contribs 18:36, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
    If I remember right, you have to register like normal (but not subscribe or do the seven-day trial), and then if you qualify for the wikipedia library you should be able to find newspapers.com here which should say "access collection" - it will send you to this url, you might have to login, and then it should work for you. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:49, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
    Ah alright, I see now. I have access to the TWL version of it but wasn't sure if I needed to sign up or do something else to clip. Thanks a lot for the help! Klinetalk to me!contribs 19:00, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

The GA Award

The GA Award
You may very well have the most football GAs ever. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 22:55, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
It's either you or TonyTheTiger. He mostly does basketball but has some Michigan football GAs. I didn't see any other football editor ahead of you on the list. I didn't click on all 300+ of Tony's to see which ones are football though. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 22:58, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
@WikiOriginal-9: Thanks! Thinking about it, you may be right! I had no idea I had that many football GAs (I know I had a lot, but wasn't expecting No 1/2!) – Tony might have me beat, but I don't feel like going through his 300 GAs either haha... And I plan on getting a lot more soon; for the WikiCup (an annual competition for most productive users), I'm currently fifth place with the competition ending at the end of this month, and so I've worked up a deal with Gonzo fan2007 where I write lots of Packers articles and he reviews them to get me the needed points!

Newspapers.com citations

I was just doing an AWB run and saw that you'd added a bunch of Newspapers.com citations to articles, with fully filled out citation templates. Good stuff. Anyway, I don't know if you heard of it or not, but I wrote a software ( https://github.com/jp-x-g/PressPass ) that you can run as a userscript in Firefox or Chrome to automatically generate fully-formatted cite templates (with date, newspaper, location, URL, etc) from newspapers.com clipping and search pages. Today, I even fixed it so it works properly with the new format of the clipping pages and fixes the weird proxy URLs! Anyway, check it out if you want. jp×g 02:26, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

You got it

Sorry Beanie, I'll leave them alone. As God as my witness, I'm in the middle of a sentence with @Bagumba about this very thing and I saw your revert. You'll have many more reverts that I did out there. All I was doing was keeping the pages the way I saw hundreds of others. No date listed twice. I stopped just now, because I thought someone might take offense. And I was right. I did not know that every person who creates an article and has a specific way of doing it was the way here. I was wrong, just trying to uniform things. I apologize and it won't ever happen again. You have my word on it. All the edits you see that I did, have not happened since this message. Honestly, I'm glad you stopped me when you did, lol. Regards, Bringingthewood (talk) 02:24, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

  • @Bringingthewood: Its not that big a deal - I mean, if you can find some policy saying that's how its done or can get consensus for a change I'd be fine with it (just like for the "U.S." in infoboxes) - I just was a little surprised at the undiscussed changes since I had always written articles that way. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:35, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
I agree with you, no big deal. No change needed. Once they opened the door on U.S. I've edited over a thousand players and the overwhelming majority had no date listed there. Like the way we don't put the place of birth in the lead. So I'm figuring that was the way. I was like, date of birth in the lead, early life .. infobox? We're really trying to get it across to people, lol. My fault, you create pages and I don't. No need for consensus with this. You won't believe it, but I was actually removing U.S. last year ... now I see it in my sleep! Also, I'm reverting what I did. Removing caps and a players first name in the article I believe I was told before that I got that right at least. If you check what I just sent to Bagumba, you'll see that I meant no animosity, that's why I stopped and asked him about it. Hope we're still good. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:49, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
@Bringingthewood: That's alright - you thought the edits were the right action and I wasn't really offended by it - you can bring up a discussion on it somewhere if you like, I'm completely fine if I'm wrong here. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:52, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
Nope. If this is ever brought up or a date is deleted, it won't be from me. You did and still do a great job with something that I could never do. I think that's why I stopped ... out of guilt. Btw, like I've mentioned to others here, if you see something that I did to a page that rubs you the wrong way, please send me a message. Not a problem. I'll let you go now. Maybe I can find someone to add U.S. to. @@ Thanks for responding and stay well. Bringingthewood (talk) 03:03, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

@WikiOriginal-9: I am am nominating the article at DYK. In doing my checks for the hook, my concern is that the GA reviewer seems to have missed the Hall of Fame induction date. Our article claims 1984, but he was inducted in 1974. 1974 Ollie Dawson was the first... and In 1974, Dawson became the first African-American inducted into the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame and 1974. Letting BeanieFan11 know that I plan to correct the article - maybe using the reliable sources above? Seeing this miss, maybe BeanieFan11 can go over the article with me to correct any problems? I am hoping this was the only issue. Thanks Lightburst (talk) 18:13, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
@Lightburst: Thanks Lightburst but it looks like the article does say 1974. The South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame is for the state and the "South Carolina State Athletic Hall of Fame" is for South Carolina State University. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 18:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Landed family blogspot

Dear BeanieFan,

thanks a lot for your contribution to the discussion in Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Landed_families_blogspot. This really helped me. I had some sincere doubts about the subject, as you understood. Now I think I can leave the ref to the blog in John Rocke. It's not the only, or the most important source. But, as I said, it looks rather serious to me, and it contains a lot of information.

One of the important functions of Wikipedia is - to my opinion - to provide links to sources that delve deeper into a subject. And this blog surely contains a lot of background. The ref to "thepeerage.com" has been removed already. But as I mentioned in the footnote, this contained (probably) false information, so that's no problem at all.

I still have some other sources on my list, that I want to check. But on this person, apparently little research is done, although he was an important ornithologist, in certain respects, and in the bigger context of the development of ornithology in England in the 19th century.

Perhaps I may ask you to take a short look at the article, and see if you can correct some of the stylistic errors I certainly made. My English language skills are rather poor.

For now, again, thanks for your intervention, and greetings, --Dick Bos (talk) 08:32, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Earl Witte

On 24 October 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Earl Witte, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in one of NFL player Earl Witte's only games, he hit a player so hard that the player "stopped, curled up and dropped to the ground as if he had hit a stone wall"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Earl Witte. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Earl Witte), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

December songs
my story today

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "From Louisiana, Brocato attended St. John's High School and was the football team captain while playing fullback and placekicker. After graduating from St. John's, he attended Baylor University and became known as one of the best placekickers under pressure in the U.S. ... Brocato was a scout from 1974 until his death at 85 in 2015 – all but four of those years with the Houston Oilers / Tennessee Oilers / Titans. He became regarded as one of the greatest scouts in football history for his extensive research on every player and for his mentoring of many others in the field. He drove across the country and added around 20,000 miles (32,000 km) per year to his car to do his research on NFL prospects – even going into his 70s. ..." - the most eloborate introduction I_ve seen ;) - Enjoy your first TFA day! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 04:57, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
