Welcome to Wikipedia, Iamsogoodatchess1469!
I'm Tesseractic and I want to welcome you to Wikipedia!

Wikipedia is an amazing community adventure which is constantly being edited. There are many different versions of Wikipedia for many different languages, and the English version has articles which are written by volunteers like you and me! We even have a newspaper, The Signpost, to keep you up to date with news and new developments. Making your first steps on Wikipedia can be hard sometimes, so if you need any help, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page or ask a question on your talk page. Someone will help you soon!

Wikipedia has five pillars which summarise Wikipedia's fundamental principles:
 * 1) Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
 * 2) Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view
 * 3) Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute
 * 4) Editors should treat each other with respect and civility
 * 5) Wikipedia has no firm rules

Discover more about Wikipedia and how to take part in this project by looking at the links on the right → Or if you don't know where to start, visit the Task Center, and find a way you can help improve Wikipedia straight away!


 * I hope you have a good time here on Wikipedia, whether reading or contributing.

College football editing
Iamsogoodatchess1469, welcome to Wikipedia. I've noticed a bunch of your edits on college football articles in recent days and want to point out a few issues and mistakes, some of which I have reverted. Generally speaking, websites like http://mexicosportscollectibles.com/, https://mcubed.net/, https://ahsfhs.org/, https://utestats.com/ should not be considered reliable sources and should be not be cited on Wikipedia. These sites all look like personal database projects with no clear statement of editorial oversight. In many cases, these site appear to just be copying what is reported in various media guides, or copying other sources that have pulled info from media guides. And program media guides tend to be littered with inaccuracies and omissions, particularly when going back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. We have a growing lists of such errors here: WikiProject College football/Media guide errors.

When database sites like those above or media guides are in conflict with well-documented contemporary news coverage, we should defer the contemporary news coverage. For example, at 1928 Haskell Indians football team, the score of the Tulsa game was reported by the Tulsa Tribune the day after the game as 27–6 with details that substantiate how that final score was attained. Those websites that you cited for the 33–6 score appear to repeating an error that originates in the Tulsa media guide. We have a similar story with the location of the Jackson State vs. Mississippi Valley State game at 1993 Jackson State Tigers football team and 1993 Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils football team. Newspaper coverage confirms that this game was played at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson. A couple other notes there: first, citing eBay listings is not a good idea. Second, the discussion/notation you added with this edit belongs in the article's talk page, not in the article itself.

Articles like 1920 University of Wisconsin–Stout football team should not be created without sourcing that establishes that the subject is notable; see Notability. In 1920, the University of Wisconsin–Stout was known as "Stout Institute", so this article is misnamed. It should probably be named 1920 Stout Institute football team or 1920 Stout Institute Blue Devils football team (if the "Blue Devils" fight name was already in use in 1920) or something like that.

You may want to see about getting access to Newspapers.com. It's a great resource. See: https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/partners/26/. Let me know if you have any questions about this stuff. Thanks, Jweiss11 (talk) 14:52, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
