December 2018

This is Sammysafari. The All-American for Alabama does not need a source. Its already cited on the List of Alabama Crimson Tide football All-Americans page and the 2018 College Football All-America Team page. Don't change it again. 10:15, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sourced or not this is accurate. Go look at the Wikipedia page for 2018 College Football All-America Team page. I imagine you know how to do simple math. If Alabama had 69 Consensus All-Americans and gained 5 more after this recent 2018 season that would make 74. Do you Understand? 2:17, 17 December 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammysafari (talk • contribs)

Already linked 3x on your Talk, but here it is again including via WP:BURDEN The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports[2] the contribution.[3].

Ok then why do most College Football pages not have their Consensus All-Americans sourced? But the Alabama Football page requires it? 3:32, 17 December 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammysafari (talk • contribs)

I've linked to the relevant wiki policy for you on 4 occasions. You should read it, so that your editing aligns with policy. UW Dawgs (talk) 03:36, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll read it. But I'm still not getting an answer on why the consensus All-American category doesn't require a source for teams such as NC State Football, Michigan St Football, Penn State Football, UNC Football, etc. But for Alabama Football it must require a source or its false information. 03:51, 17 December 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammysafari (talk • contribs)

Tulane Green Wave football team page format

Back on 23 November 2018, I reorganized Tulane Green Wave football to align with the Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Team pages format. The format proposed there doesn't appear to be a standard nor an accepted convention, but it seemed a reasonable shot at providing guidance for a consistent layout. I noticed that you recently reorganized the page, which undoes the alignment. I didn't see any explanation for that, so I wanted to reach out, first, to see if you might add some commentary to Talk:Tulane_Green_Wave_football#Alignment_to_Wikipedia:WikiProject_College_football/Team_pages_format to provide your thoughts. Secondly, perhaps Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Team pages format should be changed to align with your ideas. I don't have a strong view as to what is right or the best, so maybe you might propose in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_football/Team_pages_format changes for a different organization for the format of college football/team pages that could be used to guide everyone. Or perhaps an argument could/should be made that no guidance is really needed. Appreciate your thoughts.

Good feedback. That page has not been edited since 2010 and is demonstrably out of date. You can see as such throughout FBS articles, including via peers in Template:American Athletic Conference football navbox. I've given some thought to escalating/updating, but you've made the first reference to it in my memory. UW Dawgs (talk) 18:38, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ed Murray

Hi.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Murray_(Washington_politician)

WP:BLPNAME suggests we should not name 3 alleged victims as they're private individuals.

We write an encyclopedia that seeks to reach consensus about the historical importance of (sometimes) people. Do you think the names of alleged victims are connected to the historical importance of the subject? In your view, are the specific prices of sex purchases and disposition of genitals important to understanding the historical importance of this WP:POL? Since Wikipedia is not a newspaper, I often wonder which details covered in the press as stories unfold belong in the encyclopedia as part of the historical record.

I'm still new so I hope to learn from you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcfnord (talk • contribs) 00:53, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. WP:BLPNAME says When the name of a private individual has not been widely disseminated or has been intentionally concealed, such as in certain court cases or occupations, it is often preferable to omit it, especially when doing so does not result in a significant loss of context. Names of both individuals are in wide circulation (search on site:seattletimes.com "Jeff Simpson" and "Lloyd Anderson") and they are/were in contact with reporters, example:

"Simpson, 50, of Gladstone, Oregon, said in a telephone interview he decided to file the claim 'to help me with closure and to vindicate my name.'"[1]
"Simpson and another accuser, Lloyd Anderson, threatened a lawsuit and spoke with some reporters."[2]

I understand your callout, but don't agree in these circumstance. Your WP:EDITSUMMARY didn't give the impression that BLPNAME was your concern, so I hadn't consider it. Cheers, UW Dawgs (talk) 01:15, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BLPs must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. It is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. This policy applies to any living person mentioned in a BLP, whether or not that person is the subject of the article. Perhaps victims will re-add their names to the entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcfnord (talk • contribs) 04:28, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notre Dame

I think there should be a note in the article about why the 2012 and 2013 total wins are zero. The vacated wins are not mentioned except in the individual season pages. Enigma^msg 04:54, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ken Griffey Jr. and WP:OWN

I appreciate your hard work but please familiarize yourself with WP:OWN. According to the edit history of Ken Griffey Jr. you've reverted several good faith edits (including mine) for paper thin reasons. For example, you insist on keeping the "Napgate" header even though the consensus on the talk page appears to be opposed to you (I also think it should be removed). Thank you again for all your good faith edits, but disruptive editing doesn't promote collaboration. —Brian Halvorsen (talk) 08:01, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Longest NCAA Division I football winning streaks, you may be blocked from editing.

You are engaged in blocking factual updates to a page based on a personal opinion and in violation of Wikipedia policy. You have not provided a logical argument to discuss on why accurate, factual, sourced information should not be included. This is your third warning. The other warnings can be found on the Longest NCAA Division I football winning streaks talk page. Sae249833 (talk) 19:45, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
