Mention of Santa Anita Depot in the I-210 article edit

I found two sources that tangentially mention this:

Neither of these has enough information to create a new level 2 heading in the article. However these sources are reliable and are enough to have a one or two sentence mention as part of the route history. Dave (talk) 03:55, 10 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Done, added as a sentence in the history section. Please advise if I hosed anything.Dave (talk) 04:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
You're welcome. If you don't mind some constructive criticism. Starting a new heading for every sentence added causes an article to spiral out of control rapidly. It's easy to see how after a couple of years an article could have 200 headings, each containing 1 sentence. It's better to spend the extra 5 minutes to read the article and find an appropriate place in an existing section to make the addition. New headings should really only be created for major additions/rewrites. Dave (talk) 03:30, 11 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Template:2009-10 NCAA Division I FBS football conferences edit

You seem like someone who has editorial interests that go along with creating an Pac-10 page to fill in {{2009-10 NCAA Division I FBS football conferences}}.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 21:35, 27 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Great start. Just look around at other conferences on the template for ideas. You will probably want to add a rankings template and maybe do a watchlist table.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:44, 29 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Two conferences(Big 10 and MAC or MWC) have watchlist tables that look O.K .--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:49, 29 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Cal @ UCLA, 10/17 edit

Nah. My friend had broached the idea a month or so ago and I think we would have been more inclined if the Bears hadn't straight bombed the last 2 games. Last Saturday was an utterly pathetic performance, so we're saving our money. --BrokenSphereMsg me 22:58, 5 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Appreciate it, thanks. BrokenSphereMsg me 21:07, 15 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Great job! I created a 2009 UCLA Bruins football team Commons category for you to work with addition to the existing 2009 California Golden Bears football team. Your 2 uploads have been recategorized accordingly. --BrokenSphereMsg me 03:59, 19 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Are you still here? edit

Noticed there is no user name, but your talk page remains. Wondering if you are still here? EditorASC (talk) 22:01, 10 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear you are still at Wiki. I am unfamiliar with the situation of having a talk page, without a user page. Is that by your design?
Also, don't know if you are interested in the development of the Fullerton College article, but if you are, you might want to look in on it. There are two new Wiki Editors that seem determined to cut out much of what was there. They even removed the photos, until I insisted they be restored.
About the Fullerton College article: I researched the Wiki Policy on photo placement and found that what we like the best (placed on the right side of the article), is the preferred and default Wiki Policy. So, I move them back there. EditorASC (talk) 01:47, 15 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Infobox opinion edit

Point spreads edit

The place to reach consensus on this issue is at WT:CFB.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:36, 28 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Doesn't really matter to me which way it's represented, but that is not the right way to go about it. — X96lee15 (talk) 04:19, 2 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Please get lost. Especially if you don't care.
I can see the point spread format confusion in the bowl game articles. The WT:CFB article pointed out above does not mention anything yet. The example in the Template:Infobox_NCAA_football_single_game shows "WLSU favored by 2.5 points" as an example. Thanks much, Group29 (talk) 02:41, 6 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

re: 2010 Alabama football edit

Well, I've got several pictures I took over the course of the season (I'm a season ticket holder), however those would relate more to the 2009 team. During next season, I'm sure I'll get plenty to put on the 2010 page. – Latics (talk) 18:52, 12 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

(Almost) any picture is better than no picture. – Latics (talk) 21:16, 12 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Good work. ;) – Latics (talk) 00:12, 14 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
You wouldn't, by any chance, have taken photos during the presentation of the Coaches' Trophy, would you? Was curious after looking at 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season and such that it might be nice to have one. Just curious. – Latics (talk) 09:54, 15 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
No problem. Thanks anyway. – Latics (talk) 19:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of George Gladir edit

 

The article George Gladir has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. かんぱい!

Orphaned non-free image File:Kca10-logo.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Kca10-logo.jpg. 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
  • I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
  • If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
  • To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
  • If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.


Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 00:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

John Wooden edit

Given the obvious difference of opinion regarding the John Wooden article, I'd request that you address the issue on the article's talk page. That way, you can articulate your position more thoroughly than just the two or three word phrases that fit in the edit summaries. If we can't reach any agreement there, then of course, we can always begin the WP:3O process, but either way, it would be most productive to discuss it fully. Thanks!

California or City County employees' works edit

I don't know but don't think so, I do a lot of work on Commons and haven't seen anything yet that says that something like that. What about contacting them directly and asking who holds the copyrights to their works? BrokenSphereMsg me 18:39, 10 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Bband11th posted on my Talk page, here is my response: The deciding case concerned Santa Clara County employees, see Wikipedia:Public domain status of official government works, also the link at Template:PD-CAGov. Looks good to me. -Colfer2 (talk) 04:47, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

slakrtalk / 01:36, 30 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

For reference, this block is due to your continued edit warring despite being warned, failure to participate in an outstanding RfC on your reverts despite being notified of it, and the protracted edit warring on 2009 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, 2009 Texas Bowl, and 2010 Rose Bowl. On a related note, an edit war of any sort spanning months (in one case, it looks like since April) is absolutely uncalled for. --slakrtalk / 01:36, 30 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

They have been vandalizing the articles by continue to make changes. The use of "by" has been done for years and the template has also specified as such. If you look at the history of the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl for the year prior to 2009, you will see that "by" has been used. Also see the Rose Bowl game articles. Precedent was set years ago. There is no justification to make the changes for this year. The prior year articles have not been changed. Nobody want to make the change and they have not gotten any support. One is has said he doesn't care either way, but continue to make changes. Why would anybody make a change if he doesn't care, except to vandalize them. They just want to bully their way around. Who gave them the only right to keep reverting them? Where is the fairness? Their contribution have been minor at best.

Decline reason:

I am declining your request for unblock because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you

    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Request reason:

the reverting was started by others by not following the standards set for years and as showing in the template; they were the offenders and should be blocked. Reviewing of the prior year articles will show that they are not following the useage that was set.
