Thanks for all the work on the 2010 Braves page! WesUGAdawg (talk) 23:34, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

2010 SEC football season

I think its funny that I did all that time creating the weekly schedules only for to delete them saying they weren't needed, then someone else comes along and says I was right all along got rid of the team schedules. Just saying. Thanks for all the work though you put into the page, keep it up! Trocksuk4415 (talk) 19:51, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

• I appreciate your help. I did the 2009-10 SEC basketball page by myself last year, but football is a lot more information, so thanks!! Trocksuk4415 (talk) 18:19, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Courtney Upshaw

Just to let you know I think you've improved the page enough to the point where it marginally passes WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. My only concern left is if you have any more in depth coverage of him besides the Dothan Eagle article. The rest are all either trivial (ESPN and the list) or are routine coverage about games he played in. --Ravendrop (talk) 22:20, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Mike Groh

Since you are one of the more active people here editing Crimson Tide stuff, I want to see what you think about adding Mike Groh to the Template:2009 Alabama football. He was a graduate assistant coach in 2009, but I'm not sure if that is enough for inclusion on the template. Thoughts? Patriarca12 (talk) 18:45, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

• Excellent! I just want all involved in the glory of the 2009 season give all the credit they're due here on WP. Roll Tide! Patriarca12 (talk) 20:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

2011 Braves

I just wanted to say a generic 'thanks' for all the correcting you are doing after me on the 2011 season article. I am still relatively new at the whole Wikipedia editing thing and I'm certainly prone to mistakes. You are much more experienced than I am. With my main goal being the betterment of that article, it's nice to know that if I mess up on something, I can count on you to fix it. Thanks again and go Braves!

Is there a rule against adding external video links to Wikipedia? I've seen them around the site once in a while and think they are a helpful reference tool for a reader. Bbqsauce13 (talk) 02:51, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Explaining changes to Alabama page

Here is why I changed what I did on the Alabama basketball page:

• The TV should go in the TV column, not the attendance column.
• The SEC Tournament should be included because it is a guarantee that they will play in it. The NCAA tourney not so much.
• I put Colorado ahead of Wichita State because of alphabetical order. I don't know if there is a reason to do otherwise.
• Coleman Coliseum • Tuscaloosa, AL doesn't need to be re-linked over and over.

As for fitting better on the screen, that should take a back seat to making sure the info is in the proper columns. Is there anything else we can discuss? ~ Richmond96 t • c 01:49, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Reply I think that keeping the TV after the game is good for reference, as well as consistency with the other CBB pages and to avoid having confusing columns. ~ Richmond96 t • c 02:23, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited 2012 Alabama Crimson Tide softball season, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Easton and Drash (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

College baseball schedule

Hey there. I'm just getting started in college baseball. I created 2012 Florida Gators baseball team and noticed you created the Alabama page. Question: Is there a need for the game numbers on the left side of the schedule? I haven't seen this in any other sports and it seems like a waste of space. However, if there is a use for them, I will definitely leave it in there. Thanks ~ Richmond96 t • c 01:14, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

VisualEditor

Hey Zwilson14 :). Thanks so much for your edit here; unfortunately it looks like you accidentally added nowiki tags. This isn't your fault, it's just that the new editor doesn't directly accept markup (like the link you added) - although we're looking at ways to make it handle people trying to use markup in a better way. In the meantime, the userguide here should help with how to add things like links and references. Thanks, and let me know if you see any other issues or have any comments.

Removal of dead links

Hello. With the following two edits I undid your removal of dead link references. I think it would be better if they were left in. That way people would know that at least at one point the information was referenced. [1], [2]--Rockfang (talk) 21:05, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Alabama_Crimson_Tide_women's_basketball

Hi, I see you have helped to maintain many of the stat pages, including Alabama_Crimson_Tide_women's_basketball

While double-checking it, I found what I think was an error in 1979-80, which I corrected.

The overall record, shown as 633-460, seems to be way off, I get 657–497

For the NCAA Total: the article says 560-401 but I get 584–438.

Would you be willing to double-check me?--SPhilbrick(Talk) 15:49, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Association of Mature American Citizens

Hello, Zwilson14. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Association of Mature American Citizens, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ad Orientem (talk) 05:10, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Softball Template

Please explain why you deleted the save category I added today from the softball template. There are three pitching stats that are supposed to be included on every site that shows results- win, loss, and save. This goes for both baseball and softball. I am currently working on the 2014 BYU Cougars softball team for Wikipedia and am willing to help fill in whichever teams have been completed that need the save category added. However I don't think you should decide solely because you're the head of the college softball task force to go and ignore the site of every team that says wins, losses, and saves should be included when official results are shown. You may ask where I have gotten this info from. I have talked to the BYU stats which acknowledge wins, losses, and saves should be shown. i have talked to ESPN, which has acknowledged wins, losses, and saves should be shown. I have also talked with the official stat keeper for the yearly World Championships of softball, which have said wins, losses, and saves should be shown. i have also visited more than 50 college softball websites, all of which show wins, losses, and saves for softball. For the record, Wikipedia is the only site I have visited that currently doesn't have the saves listed. Bigddan11 (talk) 22:09, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

• We need to adjust the softball template to be able to delete the number rankings if it says no at the top. Check the football template to see how it is done. The 2014 BYU Cougars softball team showed the Rank # at the top despite all the columns saying rank=no until I changed it to yes. Currently if you have rank=no, it shows the rank# but if you have rank=yes, it deletes it. It's supposed to be the other way around.Bigddan11 (talk) 00:54, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
