WikiCup participates in the Wikipedia:The Great Wikipedia Dramaout

Hello all, iMatthew here. I just wanted to let you know about "The Great Wikipedia Dramaout" which starts this Saturday. The goal of the Dramaout is to spend five days working on improving articles and abstaining from any of Wikipedia's drama. I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :) iMatthew ^talk at 00:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Minor league/farm system table formats

Hi, jj37 - I've been contributing to the Major League Baseball clubs' season by season pages, adding farm system information in a simple list format. A user has developed a nice table that makes the data more readable, but unfortunately the new table format is only picking up some of the farm clubs listed (see 1969 Kansas City Royals as an example). It appears to be able to list no more than one farm team at each level and cannot handle the pre-1963, Class D, C, B, etc.

I wonder if you're aware of someone trying to develop a better table. I think the table is better than my simple list, but should not be so rigid as the current table. Also would be good to accommodate an extra column to note league titles, franchise shifts, league and team disbandings, etc.

Thanks. McGill1974 (talk) 19:50, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately I don't think I can be of much help; that template is the only one I know of for that purpose, although you could edit it and add the additional parameters in. Alternately, you could add some sort of footnotes or add something below the table to place additional info.   JJ (talk) 20:21, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Mentor Q&A

Hey mentor,

Thanks for your most recent comments and feedback. I still can't seem to stay away from marathon edits but it is what it is I guess. During my most recent cleanup, I discovered that a company that had been out of business for nearly a year reopened by changing its name and ticker symbol. So instead of a rather mild cleanup with cleaned up archived links etc it ended up to be a more important job of adding information pertinent to the company's new business model. I am sure it has happened to you as well, but the article is pretty well written now.

I set up a sub user page for you and I to chat at user:bobinit/Mentor Q&A as you suggested. I suppose you should set up one as well, and then we can just bounce our respective Q&A's back to each other sub page. Is that what you had in mind?

I am removing our last round of questions from your talk page to keep it clean.

Thanks again,

Bob

You Seem to Have me Confused with Someone Else

Hello, I occasionally read WikiPedia articles, but as I was reading an article, I was notified that I had vandalized articles. This is a mistake, and has happened before, and I don't even know how to edit articles, nor do I have the time or the desire to do so. I request these messages be removed or corrected somehow.

Thank you. 02:04, 22 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.76.1.198 (talk)
