GA Nominee on hold
I am reviewing Notre Dame Fighting Irish football under Tyrone Willingham for Good Article status. I placed it on hold for a few minor changes. The nominator has been away from Wikipedia for the last nine days, so I am hoping that somebody from this project can help address my concerns. Any help would be appreciated. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:20, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- As a quick update, this article will be failed if progress is not made by Wednesday. I fixed as many as I could by myself, and there isn't much more to do. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've made a few fixes. If someone else wants to pitch in, they're more than welcome to. I haven't addressed any of the citation issues. JKBrooks85 (talk) 21:12, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Update: only two fairly small concerns remain (one clarification of a term and one fact needing a reference). I have addressed many of the points myself, but I need someone to help finish the list. If progress is not made within two days, I will fail the article. GaryColemanFan (talk) 17:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

NEED HELP PLEASE
A user by the name of SportsMaster (formally called SportsMasterESPN) keeps moving LSU athletics related articles to articles with "Louisiana State" in their name. For example, he has moved this article from LSU Tigers football (which is the consensus reached naming standard for this article) to Louisiana State Tigers football (which is not the accepted standard). He has done this multiple times over the past 6 to 8 months and every time its been corrected. I have asked the user to stop this but he continues to do it. Louisiana is the only state in the union that begins with the letter L. Therefore, LSU is not ambiguous whereas as MSU or OSU would be ambiguous. (i.e. Ohio State, Oregon State, Oklahoma State). No one refers to the LSU athletics program as Louisiana State and even the official website is LSUSports.net. I am tired of having to correct these article name changes. Is there anything that can be done to stop this user? He is becoming a nuisance. Thank you. Seancp (talk) 12:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Just to add, he doesn't only do this to the football article, he has also done it to LSU Tigers softball, LSU Tigers baseball, LSU Lady Tigers basketball and LSU Tigers basketball. Seancp (talk) 12:57, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Have you talked to any admins or the arbitration committee? JKBrooks85 (talk) 21:04, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- I had a problem with them (when they were SportsMasterESPN) in reducing fair use images they uploaded. They (I suspected) had2 other sock puppet accounts. Eventually, I gave up caring and they forgot about it and then I went back and fixed it all like a month later. All the images (or most) are deleted now for being orphaned. Their complaint? "It's my image and I want it 600x600." Even though in the article it was no larger than 200px wide. I fully support the naming convention we've adopted with LSU (and other schools). I would be fine with having a redirect from "Louisiana State Tigers football" to the LSU titled article. Perhaps offer that as a compromise? Having the redirect there would make it harder to move the article there in the future as well. MECU≈talk 12:44, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

WP Signpost on FAC and FAR/C reviewing - REVIEWERS NEEDED
The Featured Article and Reatured Article Review processes have put out a call for reviewers. Any editor can review an article and contribute to consensus on whether that article is of FA status. A lot of college-football related articles are nominated for FA status, and sometimes these nominations are closed because there are not enough reviewers. This week's Signpost Dispatch, located at
, explains the advantages of being a reviewer and details the aspects of reviewing that are critical to maintaining WP's high standards. Hope to see some new faces at FAC or FAR soon! Karanacs (talk) 14:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
