[edit] Template:CFB navbox‎

Hi. I noticed you were trying to have this navbox start out expanded. We actually decided at WP:CFB that we wanted it to start collapsed, since there are many articles with 3 up to 7! of these and that takes up a lot of room. If WP:CBB is using this and wants the different case, then you could copy it and create Template:CBB navbox. MECU≈talk 14:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I was only trying to change the coaching boxes, which are generally only one line of text. Even if there are 6 or 7, it doesn't take up too much space and it's easier to see without having to "open" them. At least that's my opinion :) I didn't know there was previous discussion about the topic. That's one thing about wikipedia that is lacking, finding old discussions about "consensus".

[edit] Records on College Football Templates

The more I think about it, I agree with you. However, like you said most show records before the game. Do you think we should leave them before the game? If not, is there a list of articles containing this template so we make them all after the game? And finally, is there some way we can place a note in the template to help avoid this in the future? Bcspro (talk) 22:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you came around :) Here's the list of all article that use the template: [1]. Looks like there are less than 250 of them. As far as the template, each of the parameters are described in the documentation except "Home Record" and "Visitor Record". It would be easy enough to add them saying something like, "Record of the home team at the conclusion of the game being described" (or something like that). I'm just worried that there isn't a consensus and that going through and changing the templates would cause issues. Then again, it might prompt more discussion on the subject (which seems to be dead). X96lee15 (talk) 01:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Someone added to the 2008 National Championship template that records are before the game. With the majority of the 250 articles being this way already and this change (on the template) being made I don't think the majority should be changed.

[edit] Moving of AAFL team pages.

Thank you for allowing a discussion and allowing editors to take a vote on whether the pages should have been moved or not. (not sarcasm). --Crash Underride 04:31, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I didn't think there would be any discussion since it wasn't necessary to have "AAFL" preceding each team name, much like there is no NFL Detroit Lions article. X96lee15 (talk) 04:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Well as with the Team Florida page, it's needed. So who knows if it would have been needed after all. Just sayin' you should have brought up the move on the league talk page first. Thanks, --Crash Underride 19:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AAFL

So, you enjoyin' workin' on the AAFL pages? I hope so, I know I had a hulluva time creatin' the team pages, whew took somethin' like 3 or so hours for all of them. lol Talk about sore fingers lol. Look forward to workin' with you in the future on these pages. --Crash Underride 21:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it's been fun. You did a great job creating all the articles. Hopefully the league can catch on and stick around for a few years. I think they have a good basis. I think they did a good thing naming the teams "Michigan" and "Tennessee", etc. It's easier to identify than Detroit or Knoxville...we'll see though. X96lee15 (talk) 04:45, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

Thank you for adding the fair use rationale to Image:2006 ALCS Logo.png. — Steven Andrew Miller (talk) 14:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. The "Image Deleting Bot" ran rampant through a bunch of articles in my watchlist so I knocked out a bunch of fair uses last night. — X96lee15 (talk) 14:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jeff Stanis

In my opinion, no. In my opinion, the hoax portion of the G3 criteria shold only be used for really obvious fraudulent claims. The "Bob is a high school student and President of the United States and the Pope. His sweat cures cancer" level of hoax. Other admins may have other opinions. It is possible one of them will see this at PROD and decide to speedy it. It has happened to me in the past. If it happens, I certainly won't protest. Dsmdgold (talk) 05:48, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sports trades

Until a deal has been finalized (i.e., received league approval and passed physicals) it is still unofficial and relevant team details should not be changed per WP:CRYSTAL. Thanks. --Madchester (talk) 21:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

See [2]. Nowhere in the article does it say the deal is "pending". I don't post transactions until they are reported by a newspaper or other media outlet. – X96lee15 (talk) 21:31, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NBA draft pages

I see you edit these pages a lot.

Some random guy (DP80) totally messed with the colors of awards from NBA drafts 1980 onward. I'm fixing the stuff that's revert-able, and I hope you can take a look at the rest.

Thanks  Cdcon  22:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Oakland university logo.gif

While I appreciate you quickly adding the requested form to this page, you carelessly removed the detailed sourcing and verification information I had put on the page when I uploaded the image. I've re-added it. Please be more careful in the future -- we don't need to be in such a hurry... But, thanks in any case. JesseW, the juggling janitor 19:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Playboy's Top Party Schools 2006

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Playboy's Top Party Schools 2006, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Geno Ford

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:2007-08 Detroit Pistons season game log

Thanks for spotting my error and correcting it.--Crzycheetah 22:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Consistency?

You care about consistency in 2008 NBA Playoffs, but yet do whatever you like in Template:2007-08 Detroit Pistons playoff game log? Nothing is consistent about the log, and it is quite different from the other logs (wider score columns, W and L before the score). All the logs should have a common format, but the Detroit log, which you manage, stands out. A pitty. ● 8~Hype @ 20:13, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The Pistons game log conforms to Wikipedia standards. It conforms to WP:COLOR, WP:LOGO/WP:FAIR and WP:MOS#Times, which none of the other game logs do. It's not my job nor my goal to make similar articles consistent, but for the articles I am interested in, I try my best to keep them to WP standards. I agree with you, all of the game logs should have a common format. However, that format should match Wikipedia standards.
On a side note, I'd appreciate more civility from you in edit summaries and on talk pages. — X96lee15 (talk) 20:28, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:NBA season

Hey, can you maybe let it stay superscripted? It really doesn't look good when it's not, because basically you must only see the number. If it's not superscripted, the "st" etc. looks redundant and confuses. Basically, it can be removed at all, but I want to keep it small (superscripted). Let's agree on something. I really haven't touched your Detroit articles, so let's keep this my way. ;) I really don't want any disputes over this. ● 8~Hype @ 17:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

By the way, this format was agreed upon. And please don't act like I don't understand anything (edit summary). ● 8~Hype @ 12:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

For future reference, "consensus" shouldn't be reached on someone's talk page. That only allows people to who are watching the talk page to know what's going on. Also, consensus can't be reached by only one person. You're the only one with any input in the section you referred me to. As far as the edit summary you pointed me to, I'm not sure what you're talking about. I removed the "sup"s based on the Wikipedia Manual of Style.
All that being said, I don't care enough to continue discussing this. You think it looks better with superscripts, I think it looks better without. I'm also following the MOS. If you want to continue to sneak the "sup"s in under the guise of "test" edit summaries, so be it. — X96lee15 (talk) 14:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 5/11 DYK

Updated DYK query On 11 May 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Matt Joyce (baseball), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Detroit Tigers Game Log

I noticed that you have reverted my edit which placed the Game Log in the main article 2008 Detroit Tigers season. The members of the Baseball WikiProject have decided here that it is more appropriate for the game log to be in the article itself, to make it easier to update. I understand your reasoning for the reversion, however we have decided that it is unnecessary to have a template just for one article. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 16:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw that discussion after I made the change. I had meant to ping you about my change, but it slipped my mind. The only reason I changed it was because duplicate info was in two places. I agree with having it inline in the article, but until the template is deleted, I think we should use the template to reduce chance of the information getting out of date/sync. — X96lee15 (talk) 17:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CBB Schedule Entry

FYI, your edit to Template:CBB Schedule Entry messed up the way schedules were rendered on team pages. I went into a little more detail at Template Talk:CBB Schedule Entry. Is there a way we can clean it up, but still get the correct rendering? Hoof Hearted (talk) 18:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hoof, I'd just ignore my change. I was trying to be careful when cleaning up the templates, but I forgot to go back and check to see if my change to this template messed anything up. — X96lee15 (talk) 21:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:NBA season

I have added stats from Basketball-Reference.com in the same way as in {{Infobox NBAretired}}. Are there any other mainstream sources for each team season dating back to 1946-47? ● 8~Hype @ 23:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Also, would "{{{year}}} statistics" look better than the current stats link? ● 8~Hype @ 07:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bolding in the Michigan college football template

Hi, X96lee15. I hear what you are saying about the bolding used in those templates. However, the sets of the templates need to be consistent instead of just changing the michigan one and leaving the others. I have started a discussion at WT:CFB#Use of bolding in stadium templates about this formatting and would encourage you to swing by and express your thoughts so that a consensus can be reached for the entire group of templates. Until a consensus is reached that your proposed change should be made for all of the templates, I have reverted {{Michigan college football venues}} to its original prior (matching) state. Best wishes. --Gwguffey (talk) 05:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
