Help with WP:CBBALL project category

Do you know how to fix Category:Category-Class college basketball articles so that all of the categories in the Category:NA-Class college basketball articles are moved over to the cat-class category? This is my first attempt at setting up different classes in a WikiProject and I can't figure out why nothing is showing up in the cat-class, even though tons of categories are marked as such. Jrcla2 (talk) 03:37, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to fix.—Chris!c/t 03:47, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wanted to keep this off the Featured sounds discussion, because once you start with "I know this is still off-topic, but..." you've probably lost control of the discussion.

I think the problem with previous Featured list proposals is that they were too focused on a single list. What probably needs done to get them on the main page is something like what we're doing for sounds - get a good buffer together, have someone who's willing to take charge of preparing things for the main page, and - since I think people are a little concerned that lists might not adapt well when cut down to a paragraph or two - provide a few examples of how they'd look on the main page.

There's many ways you could do it - a bullet-pointed DYK-style list of lists, an FA-style extract, and so on, but you need to figure out how many lists you have, what your buffer is, and so on, and if you do that, I think you might get in.

The easiest "in" for lists might be to replace DYK or On this day with a list of interesting facts from FLs once a week. I'm not an FL regular, though. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:34, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of female United States Cabinet Secretaries

Hi there. At User:The Rambling Man/Main page FL candidates, the above list has been proposed as one of the early ones to go on the main page. It has aged pretty well: there were a few dead links that I was easily able to fix, and at a glance it appears to meet WP:ACCESS. But I was wondering if you would be willing to take a quick look at the last paragraph of the lead? It's just that at the moment it doesn't have any inline citations, and I'm not too sure where I might turn for that info. Regards, —WFC— 13:51, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added the refs.—Chris!c/t 19:47, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You!

The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition.

It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal.

Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.)

Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future.

WikiCup 2011 February newsletter

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions) (first, with 487 points) and Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. Scotland Casliber (submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to Bavaria Stone (submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.

Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.

Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

1975–76 Buffalo Braves season

Thanks for your efforts at 1975–76 Buffalo Braves season. The two preceeding seasons could also use your help, if you get a chance.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I plan to work on them within this week.—Chris!c/t 19:36, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Took a look at the edits of User:XiaotianDavid, per my Online Ambassador position, and it seems the user (who is new) was doing a fairly good job of trying to add information to the page, just didn't have the sourcing codes down right. By reverting en masse and not giving any helpful feedback other than "rv poor edits - please discuss first if you want to add something", you seem to be biting the newbies. Also, the last edit you made to the page appears to be while using Rollback access. As you should know, Rollback should only be used to "revert obvious vandalism" and this was not "obvious vandalism".

Since you have been here awhile, you should be aware of these two rules I have metioned above. I would like to see you give this user some positive feedback about how to source and work with him on the article, not just reverting. Remember, this is a collabrative editing project. - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 06:27, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was not in a good mood at the time and so I might have been "biting" the newbie. But in my defense, I did ask him on his talk page to add source for info he added, but he simply ignore me and continue to add the same unsourced info. Note that the article is an FA and all info must be sourced. Also I did not use rollback at all (check the edit you linked, please!), I simply used undo to revert him.—Chris!c/t 19:53, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, we all have bad days, 'tis cool. I missed the "star" on the top of the page (they need to make those slightly bigger), so you do have a point there. I have experience with FA articles, please see Stephens City, Virginia, so I know how those have to be sourced. My goof on the rollback, just seen the edit summary, which was similar, my apologizes on that.
I would, if you feel up to it, to see some help being given to the editor on this. Since they are brand new, some only editing the project page for their school, they don't know the rules for FA or even regular articles. So, I think a little message on the finer points of standard editing (nothing that requires an author and someone from Random House) would be helpful. I know the professor of this project, User:Jaobar, is looking for something similar, so perhaps you could help there. Please let me know if I can be of assistance on that. Otherwise, I appreciate your quick response and hope we can get this resolved so the new editor sticks around after his course is done. Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor.

Charlotte Bobcats all-time roster

Hello Chris, one of your finest works is outdated now. Charlotte Bobcats all-time roster has not been updated for almost two years. I updated some active players, but several players have to be added. I am just letting you know.--Cheetah (talk) 22:44, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reminding me. I kind of forget about that list. I will update it once I got some time.—Chris!c/t 00:13, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

service award level

There has been a major revision of the the Service Awards: the edit requirements for the higher levels have been greatly reduced, to make them reasonably attainable.

Because of this, your Service Award level has been changed, and you are now eligible for a higher level. I have taken the liberty of updating your award on your user page.

Hey, where does it say i reverted it because of vandalism? Was just wondering why the 2007 season where he played D-League was shown below the 2006-present text. Kante4 (talk) 00:02, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for that. But that change can easily be fixed without reverting, so when you revert without explanation, it gives an impression that it is vandalism.—Chris!c/t 00:05, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok to answer your question, the d-league assignment happened after he first played with mavericks.—Chris!c/t 00:08, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I know when it happened but 2007 below 2006 looks kind of odd. Kante4 (talk) 00:25, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For God's Sake

I've had it with your disruptive edits, when me and LOL came together to create a new infobox, we did it with the best of intentions, and everything was on and poppin, but two people (you and Zagalejo) keep messing everything else. For the love of God, get it through your head, this is not the old infobox, we have adopted an infobox similar to the NFL and MLB ones. There is no need fpr the small font in the awards section, we must keep it the teams in chronolgical order and the all-star games must be linked. I'm begging you to end this. Beast from da East (talk) 03:54, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd really love to read the consensus, just to get an ideaBeast from da East (talk) 18:24, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
WT:NBA records all the major discussions we had. Template:Infobox NBA biography/doc has some guidance on formatting. Some are probably not recorded anywhere, like listing All-NBA 1st/2nd/3rd team separately, because that is clearly beneficial for readers to see which teams a player was selected at first glance.—Chris!c/t 18:34, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Report me to who? I believe you are a sockpuppet of -Ril-. Thank you for your time and stop trying to accuse me of things I have not done. diehardNFFLbarnone
