[edit] Featured article project
I would like to nominate Asian arowana for featured article status some time in the near future. I am writing to ask for your help in improving the article in any possible way in preparation for nomination. Thanks! --Ginkgo100 talk · contribs 16:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- I would be more than glad to help you but I am not very familiar with the Asian arowana species. I am much more knowledgable about the South American genus Osteoglossum. I would probably not be much help as far as providing any information beyond the divergence or comparison of the two related genuses. --Excaliburhorn
[edit] Authorities
Your edit to Roeboides was incorrect. Parentheses around an authority indicate that the species is placed in a different genus to that which the namer assigned it; the lack of parentheses indicates that the genus is unchanged. For example, we write Roeboides microlepis (Reinhardt, 1851) because Reinhardt originally placed the species in the genus Epicyrtus; whereas there should be no parentheses in Roeboides dispar Lucena, 2001.

- My bad I was just throwing up the Characinae pages with too much haste and got a little carried away. Thanks for the correction. Excaliburhorn
[edit] Georgia Tech
I saw you created 2006 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team and thought you may be interested in creating either Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets or Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football. --MECU≈talk 17:05, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- I love GT football and all but I think that a general GT Yellow Jackets article will suffice and I'll get to work on it sooner or later. ----Excaliburhorn 12:33, August 3, 2006

[edit] Kudos and Something To Do
Those are some nice images you've uploaded :) also, your changes to Rambling Wreck are wonderful! :) The only problem with that article is that there aren't any references. What I really wanted to mention is that since you've got the most experience with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets article, I'd like you to (eventually, no rush) (re)move most of the Athletics section in Georgia Institute of Technology as that section is just as long as the subpage. Examples of what I'm talking about can be found at Duke University#Athletics and Cornell University#Athletics (both are featured articles). Thanks! —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- After finals, I will knock out a bunch of that stuff. Right now projects/tests/papers/etc. are a pain in the butt. User:Excaliburhorn
The template on Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets is kind of odd. I've been trying to make a template with optional parameters in order to fix it, but when you omit a parameter, it inserts <p></p> into the html at that point, leaving a chunk of empty space. It's better than what we've got now, but I'd rather have something "perfect." See what I'm talking about in action at User:Disavian/Sandbox/Georgia Tech/Complex Transclusion Test2. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 17:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] First GT Football Coach?
Leonard Wood says:
| Wood enrolled in classes at Georgia Tech, then known as the Georgia School of Technology, and became the school's first football coach and, as a player, its team captain. Wood lead the team to its first ever football victory, 28 to 6, over the University of Georgia. |
The source that article cites says:
| One hundred years ago, Tech's first football team took the field, but not much else--it lost all three of its games. The next year, 1893, a young Harvard-trained surgeon stationed at Fort McPherson, Ga., enrolled at Tech to, among other things, play football--and Tech's fortunes changed. Army Capt. Leonard Wood also captained and helped coach the team, and was a key player in Tech's first ever football victory--a 28-6 decision over Georgia at Athens. |
Should he go on {{GTFootballCoach}} ? —Disavian (talk/contribs) 05:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Refs needed for I-AA records
This is good stuff. I assume you were reading some document when you put this in. Please provide a reference so we can be complete. Thanks a bunch! --Jayron32 19:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
