Conference School Location Maps

Noticed your work on these and wanted to thank you for your contribution. The maps look good and I think they add a great level of detail to the conference articles. One note, your Big East map is missing that small, Catholic school in Indiana. Other than that they look great, keep up the good work! Lmeister (talk) 15:21, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

I too want to thank you for your contribution and also to request a change to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference map, as the conference has lost Winston-Salem State University to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association and gained Savannah State University & North Carolina Central University. Once again Thank you for all the work that you do! --Educatedblkman1914 04:00, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

One more thanx & change request. Belmont is now in the Ohio Valley, not in the Atlantic Sun. Thanx again... GWFrog (talk) 20:36, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Re: Split Syracuse football section into own article?

Sure. I split the basketball team into it's own page. I've been waiting for someone to do the same with football... Good luck. GoCuse44 (talk) 17:10, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Cool, I'll wait a few days to see if there are any more replies on the talk page or anything before taking any action, but it is excellent to know you are on board. Regards! Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

There was one other reply from another person who is frequently helping out with Syracuse stuff giving the thumbs up. I would go ahead and make football its own article now. Let me know if you need any help. GoCuse44 (talk) 16:13, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Request for Comment on College Football logos

Users opposing the use of College Football team logos being used in articles through out the College Football project have filed a Request for Comment trying to ban use of team logos. As I am sure you know our current standard/system of using logos legitimately with fair use rationales do not violate any wikipedia policy. It would be appreciated if you could take a moment and voice you opinion on the subject here: RFC: Use of logos on sports team pages. Thank you in advance and thank you for your contributions to the College Football Project. Rtr10 (talk) 04:29, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. These people trying to ban the use of these types of images are nuts. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 04:47, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, just went and did the RfC out of no where and just as the whole thing started didn't even bother to notify anyone in the College Football Project. Trying to get the word out to as many CFB project editors as possible, because I am positive at least 99% of our editors agree with our current standard/system. Thanks for the barnstar by the way! Much appreciated! Rtr10 (talk) 05:15, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

New College football template fix

View the template talk for my problem with the template and how I think it should be fixed. Bcspro (talk) 03:10, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Another consern. With regards to the sucession in the template, will it work when a bowl changes its name? (e.g. 19XX Hall of Fame Bowl to 19XX Outback Bowl. Bcspro (talk) 21:24, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, if you read the documentation for it, it should explain everything about it. (I think I included everything) There is a parameter called "Different Previous" and one called "Different Next". (note: they are in the Complete example and the Guide, but not in the "Common" example)If you fill them in with the proper information they will override the link provided, and link to whatever else instead. The example I give in the documentation is going from the 2005 Peach Bowl to the 2006 Chick-fil-A Bowl, and how to do it, but it would work for any game where there is a name change. Understandably I haven't been pasting the field into the template when I add them because that field will rarely be used, and I wouldn't want someone mistakenly typing something into it on accident, but it is there for anyone to use at any time they want to do so. Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions about it! I hope to create some more in the future (I have some ideas) if this one seems successful. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 21:37, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Great! That's all that comes to mind right now. The template looks great and eaiser to fill out and change any problems. Now, to go to ALL the games and change the template.... Bcspro (talk) 21:44, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Heh, yeah, I have been updating several. I figure over time it should permeate out. The main good thing about it is the navigational aspect (the before/after years), which I got the idea from from all the conference basketball tournament ones, which do it automatically. (although, the basketball one doesn't have a cutoff for the very first game not showing one before that, but I will go in and fix the bball one at some point in the next few days probably because someone asked about it on that talk page) In any event, glad you like it. If you come across anything else you think would be beneficial in there, please don't hesitate to suggest it! Cardsplayer4life (talk) 21:49, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Progress of new template

According to my count, the current bowl games which need updating are as follows: 5 Cotton, 23 Outback, 6 Liberty, 3 International, 10 GMAC, 62 Rose, 24 Orange, 49 Sugar, and 23 Fiesta. Because some are quite lengthy, do you have a suggestion as how we can update them all ASAP? Bcspro (talk) 18:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Surely; The quickest way to change them (the fewest number of changes that would still function) might be to 1) change the name of the template from "NCAAFootballSingleGameHeader" to "NCAAFootballYearlyGameHeader", 2) change the field name "Game" to "Game Name" (and make sure it is correct, for instance Cotton Bowl instead of 2008 Cotton Bowl or something), 3) change "Year" to "Year Game Played" and "Date" to "Date Game Played" (and truncate the year off the date). Now, assuming everything else is listed and correct, those should be the only changes you need to make. The university full name is not required for cfb-link to work as long as short name and nickname is correct (and there is an article to link to, since the university link is the 4th option used if there are absolutely no other links available when there usually are), the season year is not required (it just won't be listed), and the other stuff is optional. (subheader, title sponsor, etc.) For the bare minimum of stuff to do for functionality, I think those 3 changes (actually 4 changes I guess since #3 was 2 changes in one) would be what was needed to quickly go through and make the changes. I would recommend that the newest year in every set contain the full functionality since that will likely be the template people use for future games and changes to the previous years in the future, but for the older years, this might be a quick and dirty way to get the changes made. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 23:55, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

For an example, see this edit which I did as a test, and it seems to work fine. (note: the before/after articles do not exist yet, but the links to them are correct for when they are created; I just chose an old year to do as a test) That would certainly be a very fast way to go through and change them. (like I said, the current year bowl games should probably contain full everything, but for past years, this would be very quick; it took me about 20 seconds or so to make that change) Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:01, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Outback and Rose are DONE! I used that on the Rose Bowl, works great! Had to do some redirects on the early Rose Bowls, see what you think. Bcspro (talk) 05:55, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Those look terrific. Great job! You are really motoring through them fast it seems. Sorry I haven't been helping much with the updates for the last few days; I have been working on some other stuff and keep getting bogged down thinking I will return to getting through them. You are doing an excellent job! Terrific. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 06:05, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Aah, it looks like you are including the season year in your edits, which is good because I forgot that the Cfb-link template (which I used to display the team names in the infobox) uses the season year as the year, so it won't ever link to specific year articles unless you use it. (and will only link to those if there is an article for it, but it won't know the year at all if it isn't entered) Again, nice work! Cardsplayer4life (talk) 06:16, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Big 12 champ game

Why did you remove the sucession boxes on the Big 12 championship game pages? Topgun530 (talk) 16:25, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Because the before/after links are located in the updated infobox now, and it was redundant to have it listed twice. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 01:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Looking at the page histories, it appears that Bcspro is the one that removed them, so I am not sure why you asked on my talk page, but that is the reason why he did it. (I have been doing it on most of the ones I update as well; I guess I just forgot to do so on the Big 12 games) Cardsplayer4life (talk) 01:20, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Conference bowl

I'm not sure what you are talking about the % are all working - have you tried purging the page. --Trödel 04:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

It went away after I reloaded; Weird. Sorry for the confusion, mate. Keep up the good work. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 04:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Actually, here is one example where they are still messed up. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 08:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

no trouble - if you see any errors - let me know - the math is complicated because I just kludged it together - I really should try to make it more elegant and document the code. --Trödel 18:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey I like the conference bowl records in the infobox - did you add that to the template? --Trödel 18:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I actually created the whole infobox yesterday because I noticed the bowl pages didn't have any. I thought the records would be a useful addition to it, so I threw it in there. =) Cardsplayer4life (talk)

Time warps

Hi! I notice you recently moved around the various Time Warp pages. I think this was basically the right move: "Time War" should be a disambiguation page, and the former "time warp" article should be at time warp (science fiction). When you make such moves, however, be aware of several things: "Article" should never redirect to "Article (disambiguation)"; instead, make "Article" the home of the disambiguation page. The redirect at Time Warp got deleted shortly after you moved those pages. Also, if you are going to move pages and then change the targets of resulting redirect pages, you need to go through and change all the articles that link to them so they still point at the right places. Right now, there are a lot of pages linking to Time Warp and time warp that ought to link to Time Warp (song) and time warp (science fiction), respectively, since that content is where they used to point. I'm trying to sort them out now. Cheers!--ragesoss (talk) 17:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good. Mainly I was just doing it for the show, but saw the other things needed to be organized so I did that as well. Actually, I did change some of the linkages that you mention, but I guess I didn't get all of them. I figured they would slowly be corrected over time anyway by someone(s); Which it appears you are doing. I could have sworn I changed the disambig page to the main page (I usually do that when I make such edits), but it was probably one of those days I was going on little to no sleep and just missed it. In any event, keep up the good work, mate. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 02:34, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Spelling Corrections?

Surely you mean "spelling Americanisations". :-) TheresaWilson (talk) 09:55, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps; I just know that the default Firefox installation spellcheck puts a red line under them which makes them stand out. (and, of course, they look wrong to me, but of course that is likely just cultural) I did realize "favor" could be spelled "favour", but the others were just misspellings I had assumed. (the main edits were the wikifications, and I just added in the spelling corrections when I they showed up) Apologies if I was too hasty in my assertion. Aaah, English; you gotta love the language. ;) Cardsplayer4life (talk) 10:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

No sweat, it's a mainly American problem anyhow (Creationism, that is - you lucky people). TheresaWilson (talk) 10:12, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, lucky us. /sarcasm Cardsplayer4life (talk) 10:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Football conference championship game infoboxes

Would it be possible to change "Conference Championships" in the box to "Championship Games won?" That way, there's no confusion with championships accumulated before the championship game was created. JKBrooks85 (talk) 03:09, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Could you say the exact name of the infobox you are talking about? I work on so many that it gets confusing. I was assuming you were talking about the new one I was putting out there (entitled, "Infobox NCAA conference tournament"), but your message confused me a bit as to whether that was the one you meant, because (1) it is not just for conference championship games, but was designed mostly for tournaments (hence the name), and (2) also there is no text that says "Conference Championships" anywhere in that one (there is text that says "Most Championships" which could be changed, if that is what you meant.) Now, if you are talking about the one entitled "NCAAFootballYearlyGameHeader", which is used in the yearly incarnations of the games (e.g. 2008 SEC Championship Game, 2007 SEC Championship Game, etc.), then I am totally confused, because it only lists the individual winners of the game in question. (unless you are talking about the navigation to the before/after game or something) Anyway, I am sure it is a fine suggestion, but please clarify and I would be happy to make a change. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 03:20, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Due to your edit history, I suspected that you were worried about the ACC Championship Game article, which is a new game, and therefore it would be warranted. I created a new parameter in the infobox template that can be used to change the title in the case of articles that might have confusion. I didn't want to change it for all articles, though, because the text I changed it to really wouldn't make sense for other types of tournaments other than football championships. But, the option is there now to change it, and I did so for the ACC article. I hope this is what you were talking about and this addressed your concern. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 03:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Don't move the Football Conference

The disambiguate does NOT have to be on the main article, especially when there's consensus against it and no RM have been made. There is not even another article called the Football Conference. Thousand links are broken by this move. — CHANDLER^#10 — 00:28, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree with the user above me. The only subject that uses the term "Football Conference" (both capitalised) is the association football league. Quit messing with things you don't understand. – PeeJay 00:34, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

• Please, take a look at Special:Whatlinkshere/Football Conference, you'll see that thousands of association football articles link there. File a Requested moe for something of this size. Also, Disambigs do not always need to be at the main title; in this instance, it's clearly inappropriate. Best, – Toon^(talk) 00:35, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

It is confusing to have "Football Conference" redirect somewhere where the common understanding of the phrase in large parts of the world are not of that meaning of the phrase. It IS INDEED policy to have the main articles that can mean different things to be the disambig page. A plethora of links is not a good reason to go against common practice. However, I really don't care all that much, so as long as the wording is clear at the top of the article as to the reason, I won't change it back, but if someone wanted to in the future, they would certainly be in the right. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:37, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

"large parts of the world", meaning the USA? — CHANDLER^#10 — 00:41, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Most of North America in fact, and many other places. (depending on how the term "football" is used, which can mean many different things; rugby, soccer, gridiron football of many kinds, etc.) It is certainly contentious enough to warrant a disambig page, that is for sure. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:50, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

The pirmary topic IS the Football Conference, just because not everyone in the world might not knows what it is doesn't disqualify it from being a primary topic. If there was another thing called the Football Conference, you'd might have a case, but this is for me similar to what is done at Premier League vs. Premier League (disambiguation), United States vs United States (disambiguation) or National Football League vs. NFL (disambiguation) — CHANDLER^#10 — 00:56, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

From Wikipedia:Disambiguation: "The title of a disambiguation page is the ambiguous term itself, provided there is no primary topic for that term. If there is a primary topic, then the tag "(disambiguation)" is added to the name of the disambiguation page". Please also note that the page is an editing guideline only, not policy. – Toon^(talk) 00:43, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the title of the disambiguation page should be the ambiguous term (in this case, "Football Conference"); That was my point. There is no primary topic for the term because the term means different things in different parts of the world. Like I said, I really don't care all that much; Not sure why you guys keep talking about it, haha. Just change it back, and its fixed. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:50, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

No worries, these things happen. We just have to wait for an admin to get around to fixing it. :) – Toon^(talk) 00:51, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Cool; Apologies for any misunderstandings, guys. Ruffling people's feathers was certainly not my intention. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:54, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Ha, I doubt you expected such a shitstorm for something which seemed simple! – Toon^(talk) 00:55, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I tend to do that to myself sometimes, haha. ;) Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:56, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

NCAA Basketball season articles

Hey - I noticed you've done a lot of formatting an indexing on the college basketball pages so I thought I'd see if you knew the answer to a question. I noticed that someone has started articles for the 2004-05 and 2005-06 Division I basketball seasons - which is great. But then I was visiting the 2005-06 UCLA Bruins men's basketball team page and noticed that they had set up a link for the 2005-06 college season but it was red. As I looked at it, there is obviously a difference in the "dash" between "2005" and "06," but I can't for the life of me make this dash with my keyboard. Any thoughts? I noticed you set redirect pages for a couple of the existing bball pages from one dash to another so I hope you know. Am I making sense? Thanks! Nice work by the way. Rikster2 (talk) 23:35, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Sure, the html code for en dash is this: – (you can put that in anywhere and it will create such a dash). Otherwise you can copy this symbol: – and paste it in. (It will likely look like - when you put it in somewhere while you are viewing the code as plain text, but it will show up as – once you click submit) For more on the different kinds of dashes, see dash. I hope that is not too confusing; If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. =) Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:01, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

It appears that you may have been asking about creating a redirect page? I went ahead and created the redirect page to each article at [1] and [2] Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Rikster2 (talk) 01:22, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey Cards - I was hoping I could get your help on something else. I was thinking that adding final stats would be useful for the college hoops season articles and have been playing around with formats. Could you take a look at this and tell me what you think? I am trying to do it in a format that reduces scrolling (hence the side-by-side tables) but can't get the bottom row to line up. I'd prefer it either is anchored to the left like the 3-point FG % table or centered like the FT% table - right now it's an ugly combination of the 2. Any ideas? I know enough to be dangerous but not to tweak things! Thanks for any help you can give! Rikster2 (talk) 21:27, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't exactly sure what you were asking for, but I left some possibilities on your page. Hope it was of some help; If not, I can try to help further. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 05:07, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Cards - Sorry to take so long to respond but thank you for your help on this! I updated all the NCAA D1 basketball season articles with stat leaders using your tips. I have had a little trouble getting the 1999-00 page to look right, but otherwise I think it came out pretty well. Thanks again! Rikster2 (talk) 21:50, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Glad I could help; Let me know if you need anything else. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 12:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion for game template

Right now we have a spot for the BCS Rank. However, is there any way we can allow a spot for the Bowl Allance/Bowl Coalition Rank? I have the Alliance ranks (1995-1997) but not the Coalition ranks (1992-1994). I wouldn't even know haow to make such a change but I think you do. Bcspro (talk) 16:36, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

That is an excellent suggestion; I went ahead and made the relevant changes. The new fields are called "Visitor Bowl Coalition", "Visitor Bowl Alliance", "Home Bowl Coalition", and "Home Bowl Alliance". (without the quotes of course) I just made it so it displays "BA" or "BC" above the number (with a wikilink to the relevant page), because written out as "Bowl Coalition", or "Bowl Alliance" seemed to be too long for that little box. (I hope that is ok) Hope this helps. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 03:38, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Bowl Alliance is done! Works Great, Thank-you. Bcspro (talk) 05:16, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Mistake in new SEC location Image

Hey Cardsplayer4life, I just wanted to give you a heads up that the new image you upload (File:SECLocations.png) has the location of the University of Alabama and Auburn University switched. Auburn is in East Alabama, right by the Georgia State line. Tuscaloosa is in West Alabama and is closest to Mississippi State. I'm going to revert it back to the old image for now, until you have time to make the correction. Other than that it does look very good. Rtr10 (talk) 05:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Haha, thanks for the heads up. I created so many of those things for all the different Division I conferences that I am not surprised I made a mistake. Luckily I saved all the Photoshop templates, so it is a 10 second fix instead of having to create a whole new one. Thanks for the heads up! Cardsplayer4life (talk) 06:17, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

No problem at all. Glad to hear you had it saved, that would have sucked! Definitely a big improvement from the old one though, much more appeasing to the eye in my opinion. Rtr10 (talk) 06:22, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, the red dots are a bit bigger (and more red), and the wording a bit more legible. Plus it is in a .png that is quite a bit larger than the old .jpg, so there is little loss of legibility due to scaling of the image. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 06:27, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Final version

As a contributor to the discussion regarding sports team logos, I am soliciting feedback as to the latest version of that guideline. Your support/opposition/feedback would be appreciated. — BQZip01 — ^talk 21:21, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

• "...you should be able to use logos on team seasons. (perhaps putting it last in the list of desirability would be a compromise) ."

  No one is saying you can't use logos, only that you can use free logos, of which there is one available for just about every team that I could find. We are trying to encourage use of free images when they are available. — BQZip01 — ^talk 01:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

  • Just for clarification; It seems like many of them have them displayed while many just have links to pages. For instance, my beloved Arkansas Razorbacks just have a link there; Does that mean that you are saying that any of the logos on the page that you link to are trademarked instead of copyrighted? If so, then it seems like just about every team logo is a trademark instead of a copyright, and might change my vote because virtually all would be allowed. Sorry, I haven't been following the entire conversation on this issue; Any clarification you might be able to provide would be wonderful. Thanks! Cardsplayer4life (talk) 01:13, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
    • That's where it gets a little sticky. Some logos cannot be copyrighted, but they must meet certain criteria: all letters (no matter how ornate or in what font) and only simple geometric shapes. Those are the logos were are looking to use because they cannot possibly be copyrighted and are, by definition, free. We have to keep in mind there are restrictions on such images: you can't use them for monetary gain and you can't use them to indicate the entity supports/endorses you or your organization when they clearly don't. Using it for identification is fine.
    • Those that have an artistic touch/original creativity to them can be copyrighted, much like any image including your beloved Razorback. so, those don't meet these criteria.
    • The links are to pages where such logos exist. Not all the logos necessarily meet these criteria, but it's a reminder to me as to how we can get them. I'll upload them in the future, but not now. — BQZip01 — ^talk 01:30, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
      • Aaah, I see; Thank you for the clarification. I had assumed that it was wording (or lettering) logos only (or mostly) that fell under the criteria. I suppose that means my objection is still valid, as I suspect that there are a large number of colleges/universities that are in the same boat as Arkansas. Perhaps saying in the RFC that copyrightable logos could only be used as a last resort only if there is no trademarked logo available would be a good compromise. (It appears most of the people voting against would be swayed into the voting for by such a change.) Cardsplayer4life (talk) 01:41, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

That's the thing. Arkansas isn't in that boat. It just merely means that the razorback itself wouldn't be included. Arkansas has two logos that meet the criteria, and they are in current use with the branding that Arkansas wants to use: [3] [4]. I just haven't uploaded them yet. Would you like to do the honors for your alma mater (at least I assume it's your alma mater...)? — BQZip01 — ^talk 01:47, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I am getting a "forbidden" message when I click on those links. (they likely don't allow hotlinking) Are they the last two on that one page? (the ones that just say "Arkansas" and "Razorbacks" in lettering) ...or are they different ones? Cardsplayer4life (talk) 01:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

By the way, how is the Army one which displays a Knight allowed? Cardsplayer4life (talk) 01:55, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Aaah, nevermind on the Army; It is because it is a government logo. Same with the Air Force, it appears. I swear that those Arkansas logos were uploaded at one point, as I remember seeing them on some of the articles. I suppose they were removed or something. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 02:03, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is just those last two. Feel free to reupload and I'll help you tag them, if you need it. — BQZip01 — ^talk 02:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Cool; I might do so sometime in the next few days if I get a chance. I don't really like them that much, but I can see the appeal of having them available for use. I still think that if there are no other options, then as a last resort that copyright logos should be able to be used if there are no other options available. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 02:32, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

The last resort thing only applies in the second and third cases. In the team page, the primary logo should be used; it doesn't matter that the logo is free or copyrighted in that case because fair-use would completely apply. That is why it isn't included. — BQZip01 — ^talk 06:36, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I was talking about the individual seasons pages, not the team page. If there are no other options, then the copyrighted logo should be allowed. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 23:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Fight songs

I notice that you mass-reverted User:NJGW's mergers of fight songs. While that's fine, I am re-redirecting/merging several of these because they contain nothing other than a line or two about the song, its lyrics (which there is a clear consensus not to include), and infoboxes. Please be aware that redirection does not constitute deleting an article and does not need consensus.

I would encourage you to look at edits individually rather than wiping out over an hour's work of another user in gross because you disagree with one or more of the changes. Stifle (talk) 09:15, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Cardsplayers4life reverts of User:NJGW's edits that are in fact wiping out many hours of other editors' work without considering the context or notability of the individual articles. I also completely disagree about the consensus about public domain song lyrics which goes beyond existing policy. Although articles should not contain solely public domain lyrics, they can provide important cultural and historical contexts to the songs, especially as lyrics have changed over time. See Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech. I would very much like to see this discussion reopened. CrazyPaco (talk) 20:21, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Please note that nothing is being deleted. They are being merged. In most cases you are reverting articles which had one or two lines, completely unsourced. Disagreeing with policy is a problem that is not going to get resolved here. The policy is that PD lyrics should be on WikiSource, and excerpts may be used for textual analysis. NJGW (talk) 20:37, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do not delete (or redirect) articles unless there is consensus reached as to whether they are notable or not. That was the decision of the vote you keep quoting. It is fine to remove the quoted lyrics or whatever (as long as they aren't allowed, as some lyrics are), but do not delete the articles, please. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:27, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Is there a reason you didn't include Notre Dame on this map? At first I thought they wouldn't be considered "full-time" due to football but they are no different than Nova or GTown. Oren0 (talk) 05:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I am not sure why I didn't include them. I might or might not have had a reason for doing so at the time. (I did one for all Division I FBS, FCS, and hockey conferences at the same time, so I don't remember specifically; It wouldn't surprise me if I just made a mistake, haha.) I will add them to the map.

2008–09 SEC men's basketball season

Based on your participation in creating the 2009 SEC Men's Basketball Tournament, I thought you might be interested in creating an article for the 2008–09 SEC men's basketball season. The 2008–09 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season and 2008–09 Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball season articles have been going since before the conference tournaments and recently 2008–09 Big East Conference men's basketball season and 2008–09 Big 12 Conference men's basketball season have been created. I hope to encourage all the power conferences to create such articles this year or at least by next year. In fact, next year I hope to get all the mid majors in on the action too. I do the 2008–09 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team and the 2008–09 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season and am willing to respond to any queries.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for taking so long to respond; I was out of town. I'll try to work on creating the article at some point soon if no one else gets around to it. Thanks for the heads up. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 22:24, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

NavBox for 2008-09 NCAA men's bball season

Hi Cards- Hope you're well. I wanted to see if you might be able to help make a small change to the 2008–09 NCAA Division I men's basketball season Navbox (and make the change effective for future college bball Navboxes). I added the CIT winner, but am not savvy enough to make it show on the NavBox with the NIT and CBI winners - can you help? It doesn't seem like it would be a very time-consuming task, but what do I know? ;-) Thanks! Rikster2 (talk) 13:38, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Cool; I updated the template to let it be in there. I think it is working ok now; Let me know if it doesn't look ok to you, and I'll adjust it. Nice edit, by the way; The CIT champs should definitely be in the infobox. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 04:27, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Another college football template fix

One more thing. Down at the bottom of the template, in the sucession part, with the "Game Name." Is there any way you can fix it so when you click on "Cotton Bowl" for example, it will connect to "Cotton Bowl (game)" instead of "Cotton Bowl (game)" or a disambiguation page? Hope this is clear. Thanks. Bcspro (talk) 16:08, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Sure; I fixed it for any game that has "(game)" after the title of the bowl. (not sure if any are like that besides the Cotton Bowl or not, but if so, they will work now too) I re-saved 2008 Cotton Bowl without making any edits to it to test it. (so it doesn't show an edit in the edit history, just reloads the template) It appears to be working correctly on that page, so it should work on all pages once an edit is made to the page so that the template reloads. (it may reload automatically after a page has been idle for long enough, I don't know) Cardsplayer4life (talk) 16:39, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Great, Thanks. Bcspro (talk) 17:23, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Football uniforms on college football infobox

Hi, I think we can assume that consensus has been reached, in that nobody has objected to it. Perhaps we should go ahead and make the changes to the infobox? I am not familiar with the infobox coding, so if you get a chance to add a place for the images, I'd appreciate it! Thanks, CH52584 (talk) 01:06, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Cool, I'll try to work on it at some point in the next few days when I get a chance. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 14:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

• I've already created a template to can be used on all NCAA football pages. Unfortunately CH52584 has been creating uniforms using my copyrighted uniform template that was originally used for the National Football League. Since this is a copyrighted template, I've ask him to stop for now. Hopefully this can be worked out soon. I'm willing to use his creations to give him credit, but they will have to be consistent with the rest of the college football uniforms that I've already created with permission from the National Collegiate Athletic Association. JohnnySeoul (talk) 01:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Pacific-10 Conference

• Record book doesn't update every time there's a new championship. How about SC or Stanford? The record page, through spring 2007, shows USC with only 84 titles, Stanford with 94. Ucla90024 (talk) 04:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

That's fine. As long as the source listed for a reference matches up with the totals listed. If it doesn't match up, then either change the totals, find a new reference, or remove the reference all-together to avoid conflicting and misleading information. Thanks!

Orphaned non-free image (File:2008BigEastBasketballTournament.png)

Thanks for uploading File:2008BigEastBasketballTournament.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Formal Mediation for Sports Logos

As a contributor to Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content/RFC_on_use_of_sports_team_logos/Archive_1, I have included you in a request for formal mediation regarding the subject at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Use of Sports Logos. With your input and agreement to work through mediation, I hope we can achieve a lasting solution. — BQZip01 — ^talk 06:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Note that I have undone your reverts on some articles for File:LSUTigers.png. While the matter may be in mediation it is a requirement that all non-free image uses have rationales and until this foundation policy is changed this remains the case. Without a rationale for use in a particular article (on the image page) the image may not be used in that article - Peripitus (Talk) 05:06, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:this

I understand your point that this is a trademarked and not explicitly copyrighted image, but the image by itself has the ability to be copyrighted. I've added this to the list of issues to be discussed. As it is under discussion and one of the highlighted articles, I'm requesting (this is not a demand, but a request) that you just refrain from editing it for now until (at least) we have a chance to go through mediation. Hopefully this will keep the peace and avoid any edit wars. Right now at ArbCom, some guys are getting hammered (like blocks and topic bans for extended periods of time) for edit warring and I'd hate to see any parties here get shwacked over that. — BQZip01 — ^talk 21:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

It seems like this discussion has been going on forever, but I'll refrain from editing it for awhile longer. I certainly don't want to get caught up in an edit war of any kind. It seems as if the article should have stayed in it's initial state (with the original image) until anything was decided, but whatever. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 00:07, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Non-free content abuse with university sports logos

I couldn't really care less if there's no "decision" from the ridiculous RfC. If you want to change the non-free content criteria, go for it, have a fight. But until you manage it, I am not going to let non-free content be abused. Even if I were to concede that your case had any merit, the fact that there is "no decision" shows that the content should be removed- the burden of proof lies with those wishing to include the material, not remove it. J Milburn (talk) 12:47, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I've raised concerns about your conduct here. J Milburn (talk) 13:00, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

You are the one displaying bad conduct; I am just keeping the agreed upon status quo. ...and that line of argument (the "burden of proof") has already been raised and answered in the arguments. I am not going to rehash every argument here; Please argue in the proper place if you have a problem with the policy. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 16:40, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I went back and changed all the Arkansas ones to the "free" alternative. (even though it is clearly not as desirable) I'll try to wait a little longer to see if the use of these types of logos is decided against. (Yes, it needs to be decided against because they currently qualify for these types of articles.) Not sure when or if this will ever be decided, but I am trying my best here to avoid a fight.

Arkansas Razorbacks football

The logo "debate" is one thing, but fighting to keep the other images I have removed (including reverting me without comment- I'm really struggling to see why that shouldn't be treated as common vandalism) shows a clear disrespect for/ignorance of our non-free content policies. Seriously, why is what that coach looks like important? How is a section that exists solely to show off non-free content without any prose justified? J Milburn (talk) 17:30, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Like I said on the discussion page of the article (which might be a good place to discuss your changes before you just try to get into a revert war or something), I can kind of see your point on the logos, and changing them to the text only versions, but the uniforms and helmet images are clearly applicable in the Arkansas Razorbacks football article. I can see no argument for taking them out. I am not disrespecting you in any way other than upholding what is clearly established policy. If you would like to change the logos to the text only version (sans the old ones there for historic purposes) I would be fully behind you on it. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 17:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, maybe the uniforms/historic logos do have a use (I wouldn't want to make a final judgement one way or another) but you have to admit that using them in that format is not acceptable. Further, how is the image of the coach necessary? I wouldn't be so offended if you were selectively reverting me. J Milburn (talk) 17:36, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't be so offended if you were selectively reverting me. How about, before making contentious changes, the changes are discussed on the discussion page of the article? It wouldn't take very long (a few days?) to discuss things instead of just going in and deleting content, and it would go a long way towards easing people's minds. I am reasonable and have changed my mind on lots of policy things one way or another in the past due to good arguments. (the logo thing being a prime example) If you bring a good argument to the table, I would back you up on it. Going in and constantly reverting things when lots of people clearly disagree with you is not the way to handle it, though. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 17:41, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Dingalinked.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Dingalinked.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 04:38, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I looked at the Sun Belt Conference's history and saw that you were the person who added the membership timeline. I did the same for the Colonial Athletic Association, but as you can see, there is a big red message at the top of my timeline that says "Invalid image map generated by EasyTimeline". I've never used EasyTimeline before and, as far as I can discern, have made no adjustments other than bar colors and member schools/years into the Timeline format, yet for some reason it says I'm doing something wrong.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Cardsplayer4life! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. S. Jay Olshansky - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Mal Moore - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

NCAA conference tournament template

Since you were apparently the last person other than me to make an important edit to the template Infobox NCAA Basketball Conference Tournament (specifically, you added the CBI), I figured you'd be the person to ask for information or help.

There's one minor tweak that needs to be made with regard to the women's tournaments. Specifically, there was only one national postseason women's tournament in the 1996–97 season—the NCAA tournament. That was the only season since the inception of the WNIT in which that tournament was not held.

I don't have the skill in template syntax to even think of making THAT edit.. if you do, have at it, or pass it on to someone who has that skill. Thanks...  :) — Dale Arnett (talk) 07:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

College Football Project request

Hello! You are listed as an active member of the College Football Project! We have a large number of unreferenced biographies of living persons, but it works out to be just two or three articles per active participant. I've divided up the articles that need help and put them in a table on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Unreferenced BLPs. Please assist the project by researching and sourcing the articles that have been "assigned" (so to speak) to you.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:41, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 19:14, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Folding@home article

Hey Cardsplayer4life, Noticed your one of the top contributors to the Folding@home article. I just wanted to let you know that I've been working a lot on it recently. Feel free to check it out again. Should address most, if not all of the problems posted in the Talk page. I'm currently working on the Results section, so that's not quite up to where I want it just yet. I'm up for suggestions/reviews on the Talk page or something if you don't feel like fixing issues yourself. My goal is to get it up to a Good Article, hopefully by January to correspond with v7 becoming the recommended client and the overhaul of the F@h website. Thanks for all your contributions. Jessemv (talk) 21:46, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

I feel that the article is getting very close to Good Article status, but tweaks here and there still need to be done.

If you have a moment, please let me know what you think; that would greatly help in the refinement process. Best, Jesse V. (talk) 17:07, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Northsidegrizzly2.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Northsidegrizzly2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof (talk) 14:00, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game

A tag has been placed on Template:Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

orphaned personal image, no foreseeable use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Orphaned non-free image File:UniversityofArkansasSeal.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:UniversityofArkansasSeal.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 19:09, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Pac10BasketballTournamentPacificLife.png

Thank you for uploading File:Pac10BasketballTournamentPacificLife.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

NCAA Rankings

Hi Cardsplayer4life! I noticed you created Template:Infobox NCAA basketball rankings. Some other editors and I are trying to create a similar template for soccer rankings here: Template:Infobox NCAA soccer rankings. However, the previous/next season buttons don't seem to be working right. Do you have any ideas about why? Dealing with this type of coding is way over my wikipedia knowledge. Thanks for any help you can provide! Swimmer33 (talk) 18:51, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

File source problem with File:WesternCollegeHockeyAssociationLocations.png

Thank you for uploading File:WesternCollegeHockeyAssociationLocations.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.
