UAB Blazers football seasons

Good work! I gave the article a quick copyedit, but if there's any changes you disagree with, feel free to change them back. I've only got two suggestions: First, that you remove the two rankings columns—because UAB has never been ranked, they're kind of redundant. Second, I'd suggest citing the seasons just once, up at the column header. The only reason I didn't do that with Virginia Tech Hokies football seasons was because there were different sources for each year. Since you've got the same source for all of them, it simplifies things to have just one cite at the top. Other than that, it's great work, and I'd be happy to support it in FLC when you feel it's ready enough to be nominated. JKBrooks85 (talk) 21:41, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Have fun! I'd love to go to a game again, but it's just too darn expensive to fly from Alaska just for that. JKBrooks85 (talk) 23:15, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of 1999 Oahu Bowl

A tag has been placed on 1999 Oahu Bowl requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Beano (talk) 08:36, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Milwaukee Airport Rail Station

Hi! The article looks pretty much up to GA standards. I have only a few comments:

• You forgot to mention that it is located in the US.
• The specific location (off this and this street etc) is fine for the body, but a little overkill for the lead. Consider instead to add for instance ridership, length from Milwaukee/Chicago and number of daily services to the lead. The lead is about the right length, and often for this kind of service one cannot get the body longer.
• I have lately started to write the route/service/facility sections before the history sections, because I feel it gives the more important information first. This is of course a matter of subjectivity, but I used to write history first out of habit. When I started to think more about the matter, I decided that perhaps it was more natural to present the status quo first, and then the details of how it got to become. But this is up to the author, and no-one should retaliate against this at GA (though they might perhaps at FA).
• Take a look at the diff from my copyedit. There area few hyphens and other things that I fixed up (nothing much, perhaps you just missed them, but this would be commented on at an FA review for sure). One thing in particular is that 'utilize' should only be used when referring to efficiency; otherwise it is generally better to use 'use'. Utilize has unfortunately become a buzz words.
• Some information that could be added (in this length an article, add all information in the infobox and lead to the article):
  • Travel time each of the central stations
  • Travel time on the shuttle
  • 'QuikTrak' ticket vending machine, restrooms, vending machines written into the prose
• Ridership figures should be converted to references
• Why does the title say 'Rail Station' and the text 'Railroad Station'?

If you fix this up, it should pass GA, although there may be the odd thing I have overlooked that another reviewer might find. Nice work so far, hope to see it at GAN soon :) Arsenikk ^(talk) 17:35, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Note

Hi. For future reference when submitting an article to FAC or FLC, don't forget to transclude the nomination page to WP:FLC. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 04:45, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

GAN

I have seen a lot of nice work by you around lately (both the two stations, the two lists at FL and the Roanoke Regional Airport). With only minor details being corrected when getting your articles through GA, I would encourage you (if you want) to do some GA reviewing (please excuse me if you have done some, I just havn't noticed then). I find that constructive criticism and improving other people's article helps me become a better article writer. Don't worry too much to begin with if you are uncertain about things, just ask at the talk page (or my user talk if you want) if you are uncertain. If you don't want to do this, I of course have understanding for that too. Arsenikk ^(talk) 00:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

List of DART Light Rail stations

Hi. Congratulations on getting the DART stations list to FL status; I just promoted it, but the bot ran a few hours ago so you may have to wait until the weekend for the talk page to be updated and the star to be added. However, I think that name should not be "List of DART Light Rail Stations" but "List of Dallas Area Rapid Transit light rail stations". The rule of thumb is that if an abbreviation is spelled out in the main article's title, it should be spelled out in other articles' titles. Also, I don't think the phrase "light rail" should be capitalized; on a quick Google search I found that "light rail" was either in sentence case or the word "light" was simply omitted. Anyway, barring these naming issues, which I hope can be resolved soon, the list looked good to go, so I promoted it now (a bit late) rather than wait until the weekend and let the FLC languish for no reason.

Seward's Success, Alaska

It doesn't get said often enough around here, so I thought I'd just drop by and tell you great job on this. Honestly when I first saw it I thought it might be a hoax, it just sounds kinda crazy, especially the aerial tramway over Knik Arm, which is well known for nasty winds. After reading it and checking out the sources, I couldn't believe I'd never heard of this before. I can only imagine how weird it would be if they had done it, like Whittier times ten, only not in an old creepy built by the army... Anyway, thanks, for me this was one of those moments where you remember why you started spending time with Wikipedia in the first place, to find out about things you never knew existed, and to learn something new.

Interstate 359

From looking at the article, it appears it could seriously be considered for GA nomination and could pass. The route description and history seem complete and are referenced to reliable sources. If it were to pass, it would be the first Alabama road GA. Dough4872 00:22, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Troy, Alabama

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're a member of WikiProject Alabama. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Troy University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Alabama is a big state, but if you happen to live near Troy and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Troy who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:31, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Template:List of college football program head coaches key

Patriarca12, I was checking out your work on List of Auburn Tigers head football coaches. User:Paulmcdonald set up Template:List of college football program head coaches key a few months ago to standardize the keys for the coach lists. It hasn't been transcluded onto any of the featured Big 12 or SEC lists, just some lower division ones that Paul did. I like the enhancements you've made to the key for the Auburn list and integrated those into this template, generalizing your note about postseason play since 1902/1916. I also reduced the font size a little bit and put the table into production on List of Michigan Wolverines head football coaches. This template would work for the Auburn list, except we'd lose the note about SEC division history. Perhaps, we could move that to the DCs header in the table? I think we might also want to drop the little s's from "DCs" "CCs" "NCs". We don't have the W/L/T fields pluralized. I'd like to get this template deployed on all the college football head coach lists out there. Thoughts? Jweiss11 (talk) 06:09, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

That looks great! I am currently working on getting the AU list to FL and will see if the template is good to go for that review. If it is, it definitely should be transcluded to all coaches' lists. The concerns over the more detailed note on SEC-specific division championships in the table header as suggested. I'll keep you posted! Patriarca12 (talk) 17:11, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Alignment for head football coach lists

I made a little tweak to List of Auburn Tigers head football coaches to make the table code much more efficient. Instead of centering every cell in the table, you can simply center the whole table in the top line. I discovered that working on the Michigan list. Jweiss11 (talk) 06:51, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for putting together Template:Mercer Bears football coach navbox. What was your source for the coaching history? I'm thinking H. R. Shencker might be the same person as H. R. Schenker. Also C. C. Stroud looks like the same guy as Doc Stroud in Template:Mercer Bears basketball coach navbox. Jweiss11 (talk) 06:48, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Got your message back about this on my talk page. Your research seems sound to me. Ultimately, the articles linking from this template should be sourced as appropriate. The template itself wouldn't need citation. In the meantime, I think it's worth having templates like these on 90% reliable info because they serve as a great foundation for article development and help to stem off content forks. I asked about your sources because I was hoping for some leads into guys like Shencker/Schenker with the aim of fleshing him out. Jweiss11 (talk) 16:43, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Nice job on Template:Conference USA soccer venue navbox. I made one little copy edit in the title for standardization.

Interview with Wikimedia Foundation

Hi Patriarca, I hope you're well. My name is Aaron and I'm one of the Storytellers working on the 2011 fundraiser for the Wikimedia Foundation. For this year's campaign, we're interviewing as many of the very active and productive Wikipedians as we can to broaden the range of appeals we run come November. I wonder if you would want to tell me more about your experiences editing and writing here? If so, I'll ask you your personal story and I'll ask you some general questions about Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're interesting by emailing amuszalskiwikimedia.org. Thanks! user:Aaron (WMF)

New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello Patriarca12! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier.

The 50 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal

		The 50 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal
		Congratulations on becoming one of the few Wikipedians to contribute fifty newly created or expanded articles to the Main page in the "Did you know?" section! You have made a notable impact on our coverage of College football and Alabama, in particular, and have become an asset to the encyclopedia. Moonraker (talk) 22:19, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

James E Foy Trophy

Patriarca, while we're whacking CFB rivalry-related articles at AfD, could you find it in your heart to sacrifice the stand-alone James Foy Trophy article, and merge its relevant content into the Iron Bowl article? As best I can tell, the Foy Trophy may technically satisfy the requirements for Wikipedia notability, but it has no truly meaningful significance to the Alabama-Auburn rivalry. Looks like a likely candidate to be pared by half and merged into the parent Iron Bowl article. BTW, we've already voluntarily thrown the two Florida Gators trophy articles (former "Okefenokee Oar" and "War Canoe Trophy") onto the bonfire and merged their contents into the parent rivalry articles. Let me know what you think. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

You are correct in its borderline notability for WP, and personally I do not have a problem with merging it into the Iron Bowl article. No person I know has ever boasted about winning the "James E Foy Trophy" just about winning the "Iron Bowl" in my experience as a loyal fan of the Tide. The trophy presentation at the basketball game the following spring is really the only time the trophy gets widespread attention in the state. Maybe bring it up with some of the other crap that is borderline at best in the power conferences such as Kentucky–Mississippi State football rivalry and Boston College–Virginia Tech rivalry. Just because teams play each other every year does not make them a rival. On a related subject, I do plan on attacking the Iron Bowl article in the not too distant future as it does need ALOT of work in terms of expansion and citations. Patriarca12 (talk) 19:44, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

P.S. I hope you enjoy your spiffy new Iron Bowl series record table. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:29, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Team navboxes

Thanks for taking care of {{Arizona State Sun Devils football navbox}}. I didn't even realize there was a Arizona State navbox out there since it didn't have any template categories. There are still 19 FBS programs without team navboxes:

• Akron
• Ball State
• Central Michigan
• Colorado State
• Kent State
• Memphis
• NC State
• New Mexico
• New Mexico State
• Ohio
• Rice
• San Diego State
• Temple
• Toledo
• Tulsa
• UNLV
• UTEP
• Western Michigan
• Wyoming

I was planning on knocking these out in the near future. Let me know if you want to take any of these on. Jweiss11 (talk) 01:24, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

We've got all 120 FBS team navboxes done now, though many of the older ones still need some cleaning up. Thanks for your help on this. Jweiss11 (talk) 23:32, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

I saw you've continued to hammer away at the team navboxes. Thanks for updating UAB and creating North Dakota State. There are still 42 FBS navboxes that need to be standardized:

• Alabama
• Arkansas
• Arkansas State
• Baylor
• Bowling Green
• Buffalo
• BYU
• California
• Cincinnati
• Duke
• East Carolina
• FIU
• Florida
• Florida State
• Idaho

• Texas A&M
• Texas Tech
• Troy
• Tulane
• UCF
• Utah State

Navbox collapsed state code

Patriarca, please carefully consider not removing the collapsed state code from any navbox you are reformatting. The rule of thumb that I usually follow is that any navbox that has more than 4 or 5 lines of text should be set to a collapsed state (and not "autocollapse"). Large open navboxes at the bottom of the page can be obnoxious and distracting to the reader, and overwhelming to the otherwise carefully planned layout of some of our better articles. Please consider. Thanks, and keep up your excellent CFB work. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:18, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:LYNX BlueLine Signage.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:LYNX BlueLine Signage.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Because you are so darn ecumenical in your endeavors for a Crimson Tide fan, including your recent creation of Tennessee Volunteers football season articles, I nearly awarded you the Florida Gators Barnstar, but I wasn't sure if anyone else would appreciate my ecumenical humor. In all seriousness, thank you for all you do here. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:24, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

ABC

Hello. I see you created a number of articles over the past few days about the Tennessee Volunteers football seasons. Among other things, you recorded that a number of games were broadcast on ABC. However, if you follow the link, you will see that that is a disambiguation page, and does not tell the readers where these football games were broadcast. You probably should change these links to American Broadcasting Company. Thanks. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 15:36, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

City, state links

Patriarca12, Nice work, as always, on the new Tampa Spartans football articles. One little thing I've noticed in your edits is that you tend to wikilink cities and states separately, e.g. Orlando, Florida. The is preferred way to do this, in the spirit of parsimonious wiki-linking, is just a single link to Orlando, Florida. Keep up the awesome work.

BTW, when you have some time, I would like to discuss what on-line and hard-copy references you may have access to for past college football All-America teams.

Well, it didn't turn out the way I hoped, but it was certainly a "learning experience" -- like learning how to avoid being a pheasant at the skeet range.

Hey, P12, sorry about that. I did not even realize I had reverted the last change to your talk page until I saw the reversion message. I have your talk page watch-listed.

User:WillAndersULM

Just a heads up that I tagged User:WillAndersULM as a probable sock of User:Wiandhh (who, as you may recall, is responsible for creating sloppy/incomplete Louisiana–Lafayette football seasons). Wanted to let you know because you're a good "defender of correct football season information" editor, and WillAndersULM just created 2013 Grambling State Tigers football team. Jrcla2 (talk) 13:11, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks for the heads up. I have cleaned the Grambling article up. Seriously though, nothing on Wikipedia irritates me more than people adding crap like this to the project. It only takes a few minutes to do it the correct way. Patriarca12 (talk) 14:03, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
  • I feel you, it's something that irks me too. New editor Joe Blow wants to create some random football or basketball season article but all they bother to do is copy/paste the previous season's article. There is only one true way to prevent this, which is for every college football and basketball program to have every single season article created by WP:CFB and CB:CBBALL editors. That's too massive of a project to undertake, unfortunately, so here we are constantly patch-working crappy articles back together. Jrcla2 (talk) 14:25, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
