Some Friendly Advice: Be Courteous

Here's your recent edit summary on the ND football page:

..--You WILL get a vandalism warning if you change this. This is WIRE national titles = AP or UPI, please don't change this to "11"...if you disagree, bring it up at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_football-->.

I'm willing to overlook this intrusion - and that's what it is - as a factor of perhaps age and inexperience. But the vandal here is you.

After I saw your illegitimate edit, I made two immediate visits to other pages WP:CFB and USC Trojans Football, a school from whom you have an offer.

Two immediate notes:

a) Nowhere does the WikiProject CFB establish or seek to establish a criterion for pre-BCS national championships. There is no expressed dependence on wire service polls as definitive - which is a good thing, because in case you didn't know there were no wire service polls prior to 1936 - but there were consensus national champions going back to Walter Camp in the early 1900s and even before. USC Trojans Football article claims 11 national championships. Why didn't you revert that? USC has won wire service championships only in 1962, 1972,one of two in 1974, one of two in 1978, one of two in 2003, and 2004. That makes a total of six, with only three undisputed.

So why didn't you go to the USC page and revert their claim of 11? And what will happen if I visit the Michigan page, which also claims a number of pre-wire service championships? Did you revert those and place a vandalism warning there?

This controversy also exists on the Talk page for USC football - here I quote on especially hardworking editor:

Ultimately, there's no way to demonstrably disprove the claim of 11 titles, as there's no determinant universally regarded as "official." It's clear that there were years when USC was selected but that the university itself doesn't recognize as legitimate claimants, and to some extent it's simply a question of what each university recognizes individually.

That is the rule around Wiki FB pages, and I'm perfectly willing to allow USC to claim as many as they can justify, 11 being entirely reasonable.

But so is it for Notre Dame - read the article for the justification.

b) And before you go reverting good faith edits and get a vandal ban - you might want to check

[1]

This is from the NCAA itself. You'll find a lot more than 11 national titles listed.

The only reason that I'm not having you banned for rudeness is, as I said, your youth and inexperience. But proceed cautiously if you wish to be taken seriously in adult company. Sensei48 (talk) 01:15, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Come join the friendly discussion over at the talk page for the project. MarcusMaximus (talk) 03:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The comment you posted on my page should actually be directed at Sensei48. See above. Also make sure you add your signature to the end of your comments by typing four tildes, as in ~~~~. MarcusMaximus (talk) 04:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please be civil in your disagreements

Please stop assuming ownership of articles such as Alabama Crimson Tide football. Doing so may lead to disruptive behavior such as edit wars and is a violation of policy, which may lead to a block from editing. There is no standard that dictates that only "wire" championships shall be counted. If you want to argue that only wire championships should be counted, then that's you're prerogative, but you do not have the authority to make any policy changes. Furthermore, please assume good faith, and do not threaten any other users with vandal warnings over a disagreement. CH52584 (talk) 04:07, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 04:13, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A More Proper Tone Than Mine....

...was set by User:MarcusMaximus and his courteous invitation to you to join the 'friendly discussion' at WP:CFB. I should have tempered my tone in that direction as well.

The problem is that we're always battling ill-intended vandalism on many pages here at Wiki, and I should have looked farther before I leapt in assuming you had an axe to grind.

Marcus Maximus' invitation, I note, also suggests a good course potentially for you to take. If you feel strongly that only wire service championships should be counted - and there are many people who think so as well - as an editor you could suggest that as a policy change at WP:CFB and see where it goes. And good luck in choosing a CFB program from that impressive list. Sensei48 (talk) 04:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

from your response on my Talk page: By the way, I'm narrowing it down to Penn and USC. Both had impressive win today.

Indeed they did - and you must be quite a talent to be recruited by two such successful and storied programs. You may have guessed that I went to Notre Dame years ago, and both USC and PSU are rivals of ours - respected and honored traditional ones. I'll look forward to seeing you in Notre Dame Stadium some year! Sensei48 (talk) 04:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dat Nguyen is a great role model for any player - and you seem to have size and 40 yd speed on him (he was 5'10, 230 I believe). Good luck and keep at the books - both your schools will challenge you academically as well as athletically. Sensei48 (talk) 05:30, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

USC Trojans titles

You're welcome to help discuss the issue on the CFB Project talk page, as we try to get broad consensus so that there's aren't future content disputes on the infoboxes (which have occurred before). --Bobak (talk) 21:59, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
