Michigan Project

I noticed your work on Michigan Left, thanks. Please consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Michigan (or at least check out the work going on there.) Rmhermen 16:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Notre Dame Football revert?

I don't know why you decided to revert back to a previous version on the Nortre Dame Football article. Notre Dame has 12 nc championships and regardless Alabama has 12 so either way the pharse "most championships" is inaccurate (or as Bear Bryant would say "grumble grumble grumble a damn lie grumble grumble") --mitrebox 03:24, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Ethernet proposal

Hi. You expressed interest before (Talk:Ethernet) in writing an ethernet history article. I think that's a great idea and would solve our merge problems. I have a two pronged attack solution, please let me know what you think. Currently, the articles 10-gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet seem weak. But I'm afraid that merging with Ethernet varieties will lose interesting historical info. So... what if you wrote your history article and integrate the historical info from these three and then I'll merge the variety info with the varieties page. Does that sound good? Please let me know what you think, responding to me Talk page is the best bet. Thanks! Avraham 20:17, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

RE: UofM article

The Ann Arbor campus is the main campus of the University of Michigan, and that's why it was denoted as such in my edit. It was a minor edit. --Mrmiscellanious 19:18, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Christian Brothers Academy

I had already created the Christian Brothers Academy (New Jersey) article. There was no reason to create a new article under Christian Brothers Academy (Lincroft, New Jersey), as there is no other Christian Brothers Academy in the state, as is the case in New York. The location in the name need be no more specific than needed to uniquely identify the school. I have restored the original (New Jersey) version as the "real" article, and changed the (Lincroft, New Jersey) to a redirect. Alansohn 18:34, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Commonwealth English

The article to which you referred did not advocate that British or Commonwealth variants of English were only correct usage when an article is directly connected with the United Kingdom. Mozilla Firefox is a collaborative development from people all over the world. Commonwealth/British English are in far more common usage to those living outside the United States and hence there is a valid argument for transferring the article to British spellings, regardless of where the Mozilla Corporation was founded. Americans, like you, seem to forget that a greater world does exist beyond your imperialistic land of supreme waste and profligate behaviour; a land whose people have polluted true English with unintelligible rubbish.

Re: Welcome message

Hi KellyCook.

Thanks for the welcome message on my talk page! You've got me a bit worried though - have I done something wrong? I'm only new and I'm not sure how everything works yet :-).

Thanks again for welcoming me. 81.86.155.153 21:41, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for clarifying. And, yeah, I am debating whether to get an account. I'll probably sign up after my exams finish this Friday, because then I'll have more time to contribute properly. :-) 81.86.155.153 15:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Metro Detroit edits

Hi KelleyCook, thanks for your note. You're right, I confused the definitions of the Detroit-Warren-Flint Combined Statistical Area and the Detroit-Warren-Livonia Metropolitan Statistical Area. I did review all the definitions, but apparently not carefully enough. However the changes made a few years ago did not simply rename the areas; for instance, the old Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint CMSA included Lenawee County [1], but the new Detroit-Warren-Flint Combined Statistical Area does not. -- Avenue 00:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

PS I was checking the figures for the CSA's area and population density, which I think you added to the infobox [2], and I get slightly different numbers. For example, I get a land area of 5814.75 square miles, not 5847. Do you recall what source you used? I used the county figures for 2000 available from the Census Bureau. -- Avenue 13:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm unsure of the source I used, but I believe I just summed the numbers from each counties wiki page. Please feel free to adjust it.

My (Mtz206) RfA

Thanks for supporting me in my RFA. My Request was successful with 41 supports, 12 opposes and 5 neutrals, and I'll do my best to live up to your expectations. If in any point in the future you get the feeling I'm doing something wrong, do not hesitate to drop me a line. -- mtz206 (talk) 02:47, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


NCAA champions

The data currently on the NCAA Football Champions page is incorrect, my edits were to the correct data, I simply missed my citation, which for the champions by year was * "Recognized National Championships by Year", College Football Data Warehouse. Retrieved on 2006-12-27. , and for the number per school was * "Recognized National Championships by Team", College Football Data Warehouse. Retrieved on 2006-12-27. 

Sorry I didn't know how to cite them or even sign my name, but it was my first edit to data that I personally knew to be wrong.

If it is possible to return my edits, I would be much obliged, as I put in a good amount of time on them, but did not save the code. The citations can be added, of course.

Notre Dame/CFB Project

Hello, I noticed that you have edited a College football related article. You may be interested to know that there is a college football WikiProject which you can join if you like. We would love to have you! Thanks for fixing my mistakes on the Notre Dame page. I'm not too knowledgeable about it and it needed some cleanup so I took a stab. I meant no harm by accidentally putting ID for Indiana, I'm not up on my state codes, and when it came back blue, I figured it was right. If you'd like to finish setting up the page please do so. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Yearly team pages format for the template, and see 2006 NCAA Division I-A football season (See Also Section) for links to other pages for ideas. Lastly, please leave off logos for teams. This is currently a hotly debated item, and until the issue is resolved, we are neither adding or removing logos. Thank you. --MECU≈talk 12:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


Additions to Interstate 96

Hello. I really liked your work making the "Junctions with other freeways" section a table on the Interstate 96 article. I think it makes the article much better and easier to understand. I hope you don't mind that I have made some changes in my sandbox, in an effort to make it more consistent with other parts of the article, and add exit/mile number information. In addition, I have proposed on the talk page that this table be moved into the "Exit List" section, and the existing huge table be split off into its own separate article. What do you think? Thanks, Hotstreets 07:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Notre Dame Stadium

Saying that Notre Dame football is "the most storied" anything is POV. It is an opinion (which one could disagree with, saying that Michigan, Alabama, or the Ivies are "more storied"). Rkevins82 05:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Catholics versus Convicts

Usenet Trivia removal

Just curious as to the reason for the removal. For those that were following the games on Usenet at the time, it was not just trivia. Should it have had the exact link instead? For example, there are a set of Usenet links in the 9-11 page, showing the first comments about the event.

By pointing out the poems from both sides, it was showing the level of noteriety these games had. But, as a good wikipedian, I will not reinsert it, especially as a new member.

If you want to put a new Trivia section with links to both the posts, that would be fine, IMO. It doesn't belong in the article proper. KelleyCook 21:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Lou Holtz (football) → Lou Holtz

I have removed this from the Uncontroversial proposals section. That section says "If there is any doubt as to whether a page move could be opposed by anyone, do not list it in this section.". Since this resulted from a page move by another editor it is possible that they may object. Please relist in Other proposals. You should also place the appropriate template on the talk pages of both articles. BlueValour 00:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


I found this page and moved lou holtz football back to lou holtz. In my mind there is no reason there needs to be a qualifer here. 99.99% of people who are looking for info about a lou holtz on wikipedia are looking for the football coach Smith03 00:00, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Ref conv

Sorry for the downtime. References converter is now back up and running. About a week ago the hard drive in my server crashed. Luckily it stayed together long enough to allow me to pull all the data off onto a new hard drive, but I still had to go through the process of installing Linux on the new hard drive, installing all the necessary programs, and loading in all of the old data from the server. I got all of my essential services up within two days (CVS, Apache, Wiki), but I kind of forgot about web scripts, which I finally got around to fixing today. Everything should be fully functional again. If you see any bugs, just send me a message. You are receiving this message because you are on the spamlist. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, simply remove your name. --Cyde Weys 19:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

National Championships

I noticed that there were 13 listed for Notre Dame's NCs on one page, 12 on another, and 11 on another, please, find the correct number, this can be greatly confusing. Also, it's likely to get Alabama fans unhappy if there are three different numbers given.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by AlabamaGuy2007 (talk • contribs) 02:40, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
