2008 Team Page edit

Might be a good idea to remove Mary from the coaching staff box since she was still playing. Just a heads up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trentongator (talkcontribs) 05:22, 10 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion edit

On the speedy deletion of {{NCAASoftballSeason}} I would recommend that you simply edit the articles so that they use the new template. I do not want to speedy the template because it would potentially break all the articles that currently transclude it. --Ryan Delaney talk 19:37, 28 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Florida Gators softball color scheme edit

Ocdmuch, I wanted to take a moment and advise you that I had reversed the orange and blue graphics scheme of the Florida Gators softball page. I can tell from the history that you have been very active in producing the current page, and I did not want to offend you, especially since I saw from the history that you had made one prior reversal of an anonymous editor's attempt to change the color scheme. I have done this bring the softball page into the same standard color scheme as all of the other Florida Gators sports pages, wherein blue is the primary color, and orange is the highlight and text color. While I have been writing or re-writing each of the Gator sports articles one by one, in order to give them some minimum standard text elements, I have also been jumping ahead of my full re-writes to add standard-size logos (now properly documented), standardized "see also" cross-reference, and standardized "external references." I am hoping that a far more standardized set of Gators sports team pages emerges from this effort----all should look and feel like they are part of the same family of Wiki articles.

When it comes time for the major re-write of the softball article, I expect to preserve all of your hard work to date.

If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to e-mail me through Wikipedia and I will respond in the clear. Thanks for your understanding. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 04:45, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Smallville edit

  Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to List of Smallville episodes. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. In addition, do not delete hidden notices that let editors know what sources are not appropriate. Deleting the notice doesn't somehow make those sources reliable.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 05:13, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please read this page, especially the part where it talks about fansites. They are not considered reliable sources.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 19:58, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Krpytonsite spoilers page, exactly where did they get their information? If they cannot identify their source, then it is 100% unusable. If they can, chances are it's somewhere more reliable. Scooper reports are not reliable. End of story. If you do not agree, then please go to the talk page for reliable sources, put the Kryptonsite spoiler page up there and ask if it's a reliable source.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:10, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Please adhere to WP:BRD, instead of simply edit warring.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:11, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
I never said they were not correct. I read the page multiple times a day to satisfy my own fan impulses. But, verifiability is not truth. They can be correct 100% of the time--which they aren't--but since they get their "facts" from unidentified "scoopers" that makes that information unreliable to use. Wikipedia is not about what is true, but what we can verify. If Craig conducts an interview with Kelly Souders, then we can verify his information because we know where it comes from. If he "receives" information from "industry insiders", then we can't verify where the info is coming from, so we cannot use it. I trust Krpytonsite for my own personal use, but it's not a reliable source by Wikipedia standards. At least not the information that comes out of the spoilers section.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:44, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
That isn't how Wikipedia works. It doesn't operate on the "if" factor. It operates on the verifiability factor. You must be able to verify ALL information on the page. We cannot verify stuff that is attained through anonymous sources. If "fans" are coming to Wikipedia to find out episodes titles, they might as well follow the link to Kryptonsite that's at the bottom of the page and view it there, with the rest of the rumors and speculations.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:34, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
I have no problem commenting things out. I typically do it, because the last time I did others came in an fought to put it all in with "TBAs".  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:41, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yes, "aired" is the operative word. The show has not aired in 2010, because we're still in 2009. When the show airs in 2010, then it will be accurate. You cannot (1) just add info that isn't directly cited (2) cite Krpytonsite's press release because it's a fansite reporting the press release. we need something tangible to cite, and Krptonsite doesn't create an individual url for that type of information. You'd be citing their main page, which is an ever changing list of information. Without a direct link to the actual press release, it's unfortunately useless. That is why I always wait for MSN to update their stuff, because you have a direct link to that episode's page (3) you cannot just copy and paste CW descriptions. it's plagiarism when it's not quoted, nor sourced. that's why they're always paraphrased before the episode airs.

This isn't a battle of "I'm not letting you edit", it's an issue of following the policies and guidelines Wikipedia set up long before I got here. I allowed the hidden comments that map out all the episodes, didn't I? By definition of WP:V and WP:RS, they could have been removed on the spot. MSN hasn't updated yet, I'm sure they will before the end of the day and we can cite their page since they provide direct links to their information.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:57, 16 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
