Oregon V Stanford 2013
I thought Oregon and Stanford were playing this week so i changed the ranking for the game thinking they were playing this week then i realized they are playing next week. Sorry about that --Jamesbondfan (talk) 14:58, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Oregon Ducks nickname question
I just created Oregon Ducks men's basketball navbox and used Oregon Ducks football navbox as my style guide. In the football navbox, it shows that Oregon used Webfoots as their nickname through the 1977–78 season, therefore I also used that nickname for the basketball navbox until 1977–78. Do you know if the basketball team adopted "Ducks" sooner than that? If so, could you please revise the basketball navbox to reflect the correct historical name used at those times? (related: 1944–45 Oregon Ducks men's basketball team would need to be moved to Webfoots if that was the nickname back then). Thanks! Jrcla2 (talk) 16:20, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * This is kind of a murky topic but I think you're correct. Short answer is that the '44-45 team is solidly in Webfoots territory so that article should be moved. After WWII is when things get murky. Contemporary sports reports from the 40s through the 70s use both terms interchangeably; at some point, Webfoots changes from the official nickname (adopted in 1932) to more of a cutesy alternate nickname. That seems to happen sometime in the '60s, but the official adoption of Ducks doesn't happen until 1978. This article from 1976 shows me that traditionalists don't like the increasing use of the "unofficial" name but also seems to reflect that the move is well underway if not a done deal. Would love to find a better smoking gun somewhere. --Esprqii (talk) 18:21, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the insight. I was about to go move the article in question but you beat me to it! I've been finding that a lot of school nicknames are difficult to track down as far as when they officially changed. Jrcla2 (talk) 18:41, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, in the days before trademarks and corporate licensing deals, a nickname was just a nickname! I could add that I remember enough of sports in the 70s to know that nobody I knew ever referred to the "Webfoots"; but then again, they were so terrible nobody bothered to call them anything at all! --Esprqii (talk)

Most-played rivalry page
As long as I've been editing the Most played rivalries in NCAA Division I FBS page I've always used the same order for the rivalries. As far as I know, the source I used to create the article in the first place (the NCAA record book) uses the same order:
 * 1) No. of games played
 * 2) Season/year the first game was played (oldest first)
 * 3) Season/year the last game was played (more recent games last)

so it's not really arbitrary at all, the main problem is when people update during a season after rivalry A is played, but rivalry B is still to be played. In general there shouldn't be any reordering during a season, but when I do reorder I take into account the games expected to be played. And since many teams play a rival for their last game, there are many games in the article that are still to be played in the 2013 season.

--162.239.236.97 (talk) 00:27, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. The Texas/Texas A&M rivalry right at the top is out of order which led me to believe there was no order in place. I still think it's better to keep it updated throughout the season, because I believe most readers will not trust the accuracy of an article if they see anything out of date. Thanks for the reply. --Esprqii (talk) 00:32, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Your revert on Neil Goldschmidt
Just a heads up: more information has been added, and he's citing a newer interview with his victim in which she stated that she was thirteen when it started. I'm not going to undo his changes, but if you're more suited to the article it would be worth updating the rest of it to match. NicatronTg (talk) 01:09, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I did not see the citation at the bottom of the article, and this article has a lot of vandalism so that was my first instinct. That interview is actually a couple of years old, published right after the victim's death so there is some discrepancy on the dates; I'm inclined to believe the victim's account though. I'm actually surprised that article hasn't been included as a source yet as I do recall it when it was published when we had some discussion about the victim's anonymity. It looks like another editor is involved now but we'll get it cleaned up. --Esprqii (talk) 19:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey Sports Fans
Howdy, I ran across this awesome Oregon sports history when working on Mr. Warren's article. It looks like Brian is retired so rather than bug him, I'll ask you. Do you see any reason why I shouldn't go ahead and move the article into primetime? I only skimmed it but it looks well-referenced enough to stick. What say you? Valfontis (talk) 04:56, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks good to me! Is Brian gone? He was editing up until a month or so ago. Seems like we should ask him. --Esprqii (talk) 19:23, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * He was editing a bunch of stuff about St. Johns but then a big "Retired" sign was put on his page. Do you want to ask him? I kinda reverted a couple of his edits so he might not want to hear from me... A good double DYK would be "DYK that one of the members of The Pioneer Baseball Club was lost in the sinking of the Titanic?" Valfontis (talk) 20:04, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Oooh, he cut out fast! If he's retired, I think all intellectual property reverts to WP:ORE so let's post it. Let's think about the DYKs a bit. I love the idea and I see why you did it that way, but I'd like to see the Titanic one first somehow. --Esprqii (talk)
 * Good idea. The Titanic anniversary is coming up. Feel free to take a stab at new hook. Will Warren still qualify for DYK by then?...eek, it has to only be 5 days old, but I think that just means the nomination. Hurry! Valfontis (talk) 10:56, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, if you get the nom in in the first 5 days you are good. But don't worry, no Wikipedians are hung up on rules or process or anything...(sigh). Be sure to request it for the Titanic anniversary; might be too close and they tend to not notice those things, but it's worth a try. OK, OK, hurrying now....I was thinking of something like...DYK that salmon canning magnate Frank Warren, the only Oregonian to perish in the sinking of the Titanic, played third base (or whatever) for one of the first baseball teams in Portland? Something along those lines. A bit too long... --Esprqii (talk) 15:07, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Yes, because I love the fact we have our own salmon canning mogul. I'll see about working on all this this evening. Valfontis (talk) 16:41, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

 * You'd be surprised what kind of moguls there are. Like this electrical supply magnate. I suddenly found myself down a rabbit hole involving really really really expensive housing, horse racing, and ::eek:: Florida. Valfontis (talk) 19:52, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Wow, Florida, really? I know what you mean about rabbit holes though. I just discovered that there is no English article about the sculptor of Manneken Pis, though there are several international versions. How can this be? --Esprqii (talk) 23:14, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

See below for my first attempt. It turns out several folks were heading to Oregon via the Titanic (see the "Ripples" article) but no one but the Warrens were really from here. The hops guy is pretty interesting though. He'll be up next. Because of course I love hops tycoons more than anything. Feel free to review a DYK or two for me! Consider this a virtual IOU for a non-virtual beer. Valfontis (talk) 02:41, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks great. I've been swamped but will see if I can add anything this weekend. Don't be classist and forget about Niels Peder Jensen of Portland, originally of Eskilstrup. His niece survived. I haven't read a lot of Titanic survivor stories but her account of the ship sinking is pretty horrifying. --Esprqii (talk) 18:15, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

So what is your point? Why are these all on Wikipedia??

 * Nice list. The point is that you have self-published a book in which you suggest you have discovered an incredible scientific breakthrough. The barrier for using that as a reliable source for scientific information is a bit higher than fiction or self-help. If your scientific breakthrough is proven, your biography will definitely be updated to reflect the new information in time. Wikipedia has no deadlines. --Esprqii (talk) 14:51, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Pac-12 standings edits
Hi Esprqii, we're on parallel paths with standardization within the multiple Pac-12 football standing templates. You might find this page helpful for spot-checking List of Pac-12 Conference football standings. The relevant season data can be seen in the 2015 Pac-12 Media Guide, as linked from the List of Pac-12 Conference football champions article. Cheers, UW Dawgs (talk) 19:37, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, I did use that new page to track down a couple of the items I was cleaning up (the random "special" notes), so thanks for creating it! I wonder if we should modify the pages to create yet another footnote for "selected as bowl representative" for the old days where bowl assignments were made in smoke-filled rooms. It's fine for now, just a thought. --Esprqii (talk) 22:00, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

1917 PCC
A second set of eyes would be appreciated.

I've added both inline and hidden comments to: 1917 Washington State Cougars football team and Template:1917 PCC football standings

Feedback and edits appreciated. UW Dawgs (talk) 02:38, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Those wartime games against military teams are tricky. I have no doubt the game really occurred, and if WSU includes it in their records, I'd be inclined to mention it. The footnotes are fine. What is especially interesting to me is that from what I can tell, the 362nd Infantry Regiment was part of the 191st Brigade, which in turn was part of the 91st Division stationed at Fort Lewis. Why is this interesting? The 1918 Rose Bowl featured the Fort Lewis team, in which Dick Romney (yes, of *those* Romneys) scored the only touchdown for Fort Lewis and was in the 362nd Infantry. I just added some info on Romney's page about this. Seems like an article about the Fort Lewis team, or wartime football would be very interesting. Anyway, some good links: Camp Lewis, HistoryLink about CampLewis, HistoryLink about Washington in WWI. --Esprqii (talk) 20:51, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
