[edit] Creating Articles w/ Categories

Good work creating new articles. When you create things, it helps tremendously to assign them to an accurate category (see WP:CG for info). If you're really not sure about categories, at least assign your new articles a stub category (see WP:SC for info). By assigning a category, you help make sure your new articles don't get lost as 'orphans' that are not associated with related topics. Feco

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[edit] Use your own words, please

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, most text on most Websites is copyrighted, so please add information to Wikipedia in your own words, instead of copy&pasting sentences and other blocks of text from other sites (EG Charley Trippi). Thanks. Niteowlneils 22:03, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Cool. It's not like it's an uncommon newcomer mistake. You might want to do new write-ups for Charley Trippi/Temp, John Henry Johnson/Temp, Earl "Dutch" Clark/Temp, William Roy "Link" Lyman/Temp, Tommy McDonald/Temp, Willie Davis (American football)/Temp, Jim Langer/Temp, George Connor (football player)/Temp, and Ollie Matson/Temp. You might also want to go thru the rest of the football player articles you created, as some are pretty brief with the pasted text removed. Niteowlneils 02:16, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WVU Mountaineers Football

Thanks for making the new article WVU Mountaineers Football. It looks super. The issue had recently been brought up on the WVU article Talk page that the athletics information is pretty out of place with the rest of the article. I had planned on making a new article just for WVU Athletics. I'm thinking of renaming your new page just West Virginia University Mountaineers and moving all of the athletics information currently on the main WVU article to that page. We could then write a few paragraphs for the athletics section of the main page with a link to the new WVU Mountaineers page. This would be in line with most other universities. (For example, there's a Syracuse University page as well as a seperate Syracuse University Orange page that talks about all the school's athletics.)

So to sum up....your page is great, but would you mind if we move all the current athletics information on the WVU main page to that page, and then renamed it West Virginia University Mountaineers instead of WVU Mountaineers Football? --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 03:11, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Awesome, keep ypur eye on it over the next few days and if you see anything you would like to edit, please do so. You sound like you know your WVU stuff (I'm a grad student there currently). --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 03:29, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Ok, I shifted the article to the new name of West Virginia University Mountaineers. Check it out and tell me what you think. Also check out the main WVU page now to see the linking to this article. Please feel free to add whatever else you see appropriate. Also, just in case you weren't sure, you can sign all your posts very easily by typing in four tildes like this: ~~~~. That way your name and a date and time are automatically posted for you. I don't know if you're new to wikipedia, but drop me a line if you want to know how to do something. Another thing some people get weird about is new users not using the "Show Preview" button. You won't have to go back in and edit over and over again if you click on this button. It pretty much just shows you a preview of the page with your edits that you can check out to see if youre happy with before actually clicking the "Save Page" button. You may already know this but I just wanted to throw it out there. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 04:01, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Yeah I figured "notable" was more appropriate than "memorable." After all...people could look at some of those players as non-memorable. Better to keep it on the objective side. --ScottyBoy900Q 02:58, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mountaineers table

I'll play around with it over the next few days...not sure if its needed seeing as all the information covered in the table is also found on the page. In my opinion the template on the Wildcats page is wayyyyyyyyy too big. i'll play around with it though. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 06:40, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted edits on WVU Important games

Sorry, had to do that. The way that has been set up, the losses are not put up, and trying to put the positive up.

If you want to discuss this, go right ahead. PYLrulz 10:09, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Calvin Johnson (football)

You did an excellent job expanding the article with some well-written content. Thank you :) —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Milton Knox Jr.

The article Milton Knox Jr. has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 20:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zabransky

It's athlete, not athelete. Two syllables?

And what's the point of the word 'current' on your page when you say "current favorite sports teams"? If they change, then you're not even a fan dude.Chris Nelson 03:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure it was buddy.Chris Nelson 01:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Aww come on baby, don't be like that.Chris Nelson 02:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Troy Smith

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Troy Smith. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Ytny (talk) 17:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
