Talk:Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just noticed someone deleted the schedule and results for this season. Is there any way we could create a 2006 season page, as some other sports teams have on wikipedia, rather than losing all of that information? Wrad 05:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I copied the season text and schedule to 2006-07 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team. —Mike 03:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)



[edit] Rankings on schedule

The ranking for USC is (was) the only one on the schedule because they are the first ranked team that Kansas has played this season. And it will NOT consistently change - USC will ALWAYS be ranked #22 for week 4. Although there are two polls (and some wikipedia schedules specify which poll is used), I believe the AP Poll is the "default" ranking used in most sources. I feel displaying the rankings indicates the importance of a particular game - in this case #4 vs. #22 (AP)! But I will skip Kansas in my updates from now on if that is your wish.

[edit] List of Accomplishments on the Side

Whoever put the list together did a terrible job. For example, in the Final Four category it does not list the years we advanced to the title game or won it all. Then, for some reason 2003 is included in tournament apperances, but 2008 isn't?

Kansas typically only celebrates Final Fours and above, I say that's what should be done on here.

The list has been added to and taken away from over time. So, no single editor put it together. The way the list is structured now, it shows the year under the section where KU finished the tournament. I removed the duplicated date. Regardless of the fact that "Kansas typically only celebrates Final Fours and above" (which you didn't provide a source to support), this isn't KU, this is Wikipedia so that does not matter. Now, familiarize yourself with WP:Civility and WP:AGF before you continue throwing around things like, "whoever put the list together did a terrible job". →Wordbuilder (talk) 04:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, I used the same argument that "this is wikipedia" (and only its guidelines should matter) when I edited the Big 12 Conference page once. It listed the basketball tournament Champs, for example:
2005 Oklahoma/Kansas
But I switched it to:
2005 Kansas/Oklahoma
So therefore it would be alphabetical and therefore more logical. However I was lectured on how the Big 12 lists the tiebreaker first. And since Oklahoma had the tiebreaker that year, OU was listed first, only because of Big 12 rules, not because of Wikipedia rules. So there's an instance of using a reference from an outside source and not "wikipedia guidelines" or whatever.
But thanks, I didn't realize this website wasn't KU or a Kansas celebration...
Perhaps it is you that needs to review the Civility section!! (ha)
I might also add that I believe the list on the main page as it is now is satisfactory and representative of the accomplishments of Kansas in a non-bias manner.
