College football team season articles
Gohawks09, thanks for creating all those new Iowa Hawkeyes football team articles. I recently created a bunch of Michigan Wolverines football articles going back to 1969 and have been working on cleaning up and building consistency between the existing pages for all college football team season articles, starting with the Big Ten and then radiating out to other conferences. I want to mention a few points to you that would help in building that consistency.

1) In the team infobox, when listing a record, if a team did not have a tie in it's overall or conference record, there's no need to explicitly write 0 ties, e.g. for the 1996 Hawkeyes, 9-3 is fine; no need for 9-3-0.

2) The Champion field in the team infobox should be reserved for national, conference, and division championships. No need to list bowl championships there.  The bowl win is clearly defined by the BowlTourney and BowlTourneyResult fields.

3) Please consider using the established templates for completing team schedules. The schedules for all teams in recent seasons have been done this way and it's pretty much the standard.  I used these templates for all the Michigan articles I recently created.  See 1997 Michigan Wolverines football team for a good example.  If you don't have data for game times, rankings, attendance, etc at your disposal, just leave those fields blank.  They can be filled in at a later date.

Thanks again for the good work. Jweiss11 (talk) 04:10, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
