Empire 8

Thanks, and I'm working on getting the logos up for the schools and all, so it's coming along. I actually was wondering what we should do about schools like RIT who have teams in D1, but are primarily D3. (ThsTorturedSoul (talk) 19:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC))

Yeah, look for the school's primary conference. A good way to judge this is the conference of the school's basketball team, seeing as every school I can think of sponsors basketball and the basketball conference is also the school's primary in all cases I have seen. An example would be the Colonial Athletic Association, Hofstra being a member in b-ball and football and listed under D1/CAA userboxes. UMass, however, a member in football but not basketball, would be listed under D1/A-10. As for the divisions, the same goes for primary conference, normally the same as basketball's. This instance occurs in many northeast schools sponsoring hockey (Bentley) who compete in D1 for hockey but D2 for all other sports (because there is no D2 for hockey). I think the same may also happen in volleyball and some other less widespread/regional sports, but I'm not sure on that.

Another note, don't sweat it if you have trouble getting permission to use/finding logos for certain schools, as plain text lettering works perfectly fine. If anything else comes up, leave one on this page. Kithira (talk) 03:41, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:2009 NECBL season article

Hey, great job with finalizing the 2009 NECBL season page. My biggest concern looking at it is the playoffs. it takes up almost 2/3 of the entire page making it much much longer than any of the other seasons. Perhaps make a separate 2009 NECBL playoffs page similar to how there are separate All-Star pages for each year. that way you can create almost a subsection for each year recording the playoffs of each year and expand upon that, again similar to how the All-Star pages are set up. Fantastic job overall though! Pharos04 (talk) 15:00, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll probably go and make a new Playoffs nav box with all the years in it and create a link within the main NECBL nav box as well.

Proposed deletion of Houlihan Park at Jack Coffey Field

The article Houlihan Park at Jack Coffey Field has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No demonstration of notability independent from the parent university. Three sources are all university publications; no third party sourcing. It's a college baseball field.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Durova³⁶⁰ 06:48, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Cal Ripken, Sr. Collegiate Baseball League

Hi Kithira! I am also fairly new, so I will let you know my understanding of the situation; however, you may want to ask someone more experienced if I am correct in my assumptions...This type of situation seems to be first dealt with by reverting the edits in question, and then warning the vandal on their talk page. I have done so here. It seems as though this particular user is headed for blocking, but may decide to cease their unconstructive edits. If the user does not, semi or full protection may be decided upon by an administrator. Thank you for your interest in and help with the encyclopedia, and I f I can help any more, please don't hesitate to contact me.Thatguyflint ^{Talk to me!} 19:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League

Hi, Kithira, I'm BaseballFanVA94. I am employed by the Alexandria Aces of the CRCBL (the new name, "Sr." was dropped in September '09). Any editing I do of thr CRCBL page, such as changing the name of the Southern Maryland team, is NOT vandalism, and I have an inside source which tells me this. Thanks!

Also, on the spamming that occurred a few weeks ago, AAces1, AcesFan and RonPaulFan83 are all the same guy, a disgruntled Aces employee. Dennis Fenney, Don Dinan, Pat Malone, and Eric Williams are all members of the Aces front office, and they like to drink very much. I have spoken with him, and the spamming should stop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BaseballFanVA94 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

My bad, BaseballFan. With all the vandalism of the page lately, I have gotten very paranoid. However, the edits regarding the Southern Maryland team name change should really wait until we have more substantiation than an "inside source." Again, I am very sorry.

As someone in a league position, you may want to expand coverage of the league on Wikipedia, adding articles for teams/stadiums in the league which do not yet have them. If you need any help with improvements, please ask, as I am a huge fan of collegiate summer baseball. Kithira (talk) 00:02, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Stadiums

Easy mistake to make when doing so many. I thought the project was dead before I showed up. I have been working on my local stadium (Qwest Field) and am going for FA at the moment (the first round had some good support but this second round is getting less attention). Someone mentioned Vale Park at the footy project so I was thinking about seeing if anything can be done with it. I'll put my name over at the project page for sure.Cptnono (talk) 03:47, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
