Lacrosse

If you are going to manually write in the stadia used for lacrosse championships, I hope you plan to go back and do the same formatting was was used for all the other NCAA sports tournaments. "Same" has been nearly uniformly employed. WillC 00:49, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I had initially thought about putting the site at Duke Blue Devils. However, I was told that Blue Devils (Duke University) was more in line with wikipedia standards. I'll just have the Duke Blue Devils and Duke University Blue Devils pages redirect to Blue Devils (Duke University)

No probs! Gotta love the Sens -- they never fail to disappoint! But I'm a diehard. Cheers - Samir धर्म 08:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Minnesota Golden Gophers

Anyone familiar with the U of M surely knows who John Mariucci and Dick Siebert are; however, I don't appreciate you reverting all of my work over two omissions. If it's important to you that they're listed in this section, it might behoove you to create articles for both of them so people outside of Minnesota know who they are. I'm reverting the page back to how I last edited it, minus Emily Fox at your behest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by XMR (talk • contribs)

Correction

I apologize, Dick Siebert does have an article. However, the section is about Famous Gopher Athletes, not coaches, so I'm leaving it as is.

Points well taken. I included Emily Fox was because someone else had taken the time to write an article about her, not becuase I wanted to overshadow other people. If you're going to list someone that doesn't have an article, at least include why they are famous or at the very least, notable.— Preceding unsigned comment added by XMR (talk • contribs)

You Win

I'm not going to waste my time writing about the merits of swimming coaches, gymnasts, or any other obscure people that you think are "famous." Even some of the well-known people on this list (particularly the football coaches) may have been at the U at some point, but their short tenures hardly definded their legacies. Most of the people I included facts about were at the U long before 2000. If you want to continue monopolizing this article, I'm not going to stop you. I'd sign my name, but you'd probably criticize that, too.— Preceding unsigned comment added by XMR (talk • contribs)

Thanks

Thanks for your response. I don't see what difference it makes WHO adds a link, if it's pertinent to the content on the page. If my brother-in-law (or a complete stranger) adds a link to go to one of my pages, will that be allowed?

I'll try to use your suggestion for the Texans, Titans, and LA Chargers. Conceptually, I have a problem saying that Abner Haynes was ROY for the Dallas Texans and have the reader sent to the Chiefs' page, without first acknowledging the Texans' existence. Would the Wikipedia gods consider just having a Dallas Texans (American Football League) page that said:

"Dallas Texans ~ the Dallas Texans were an original American Football League franchise that moved to Kansas City, MO, in 1963. For more, see Kansas City Chiefs."?? RemembertheAFL 21:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again

Yes, my comments were meant for you: I'm left-brained, these kinds of "discussions" are hard for me to conduct. I appreciate your frank comments. If I have an "agenda", I feel I have reasons for it, but they are not appropriate for this forum, as I DO understand that an encyclopedia should be impartial. All I'll say here is that I don't think Wikipedia is impartial regarding professional football. I'd love to discuss this with you in a place that wouldn't use up Wikipedia resources, or bore others with my "agenda". If you want to e-mail me at RemembertheAFL@aol.com, I promise not to reveal your e-address to anyone. If not, I understand. Regards, RemembertheAFL 03:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
