Nfl quarterbacks
I noticed your comment on talk:nfl quarterbacks, and made the page redirect to quarterback, which is preferable to deletion since people can type "nfl quarterback" into the search box and still end up at the relevant article. You can read more about redirects (our equivalent of "See [topic]" in paper encyclopedias) here: Help:Redirect. Kimchi.sg 02:58, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:2005CWSlogo.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:2005CWSlogo.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Vandy vs. Miami U.
I'm quite impressed you found the obscure Miami reference on Vandy's baseball page! Hope you didn't take any offense from the matter - none was intended. Oughgh (talk) 04:01, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * No offense taken at all... in fact, I was going for a lighthearted mood. On a lark, I looked to see what links to "Miami of Ohio".  As I recall, there were two articles and three archived talk pages.  So needless to say it didn't take much to make the appropriate edits. -- JeffBillman (talk) 08:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Old CWS-style brackets
I noticed you were the master behind the 6Team2ElimA B and C brackets, and they're awesome. The only thing I was wondering was if you'd feel comfortable making a change for me.

Instead of a round-seed naming convention, I think a game-team setup might make more sense.

For example, on ESPN's 1998 tourney results it pretty strictly lists things by Game #, however, those game #'s do not then go sequentially into the template. (they actually would get entered 1,2,3,5,4,6,7,8,9,10. For an example, see 1998 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.

So, rather than having the variables be "RD1-seed1" it seems to make sense to change it to "Game1-Team1" and so on, so then games could be entered chronologically, even if that doesn't match the order they appear on the Bracket.

I realize you created these a year and a half ago, but I wanted to ask before I myself went into someone else's work and mucked around. Please let me know if you'd rather I do it, or if you think a conversation on a different talk page (perhaps for the template) would be merited first. Thanks.Alphabeticalization (talk) 11:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Aha! You're right about the Wichita 3-4 seed game (which to be honest, I totally missed it). If NCAA's not going to be (well, wasn't) consistent in their game numbering, you're right, there's no point. Thanks for pointing that out.


 * As for the seed bolding, I wish I could tell you where I got that from. Must've seen it modeled somewhere else, because you're right. Makes not much sense. Will fix (probably not tonight... but this week as I continue plugging in games).


 * The red links was initially an intentional effort to see which ones would be red (so I could un-"baseball" those links), but I was also wondering... would it make sense to create a redirect from "Non-Existent Redouts baseball" to the "Baseball" heading of their generic sports article, so that in the event that said team gets their own baseball team page, that person doesn't have to go back to swap the link from the Tournament article? Or is that kind of preemptive-link-to-redirect not kosher?


 * Finally, I'm replying on YOUR talk page to a comment on MY talk page, which I'm honestly not sure if that's how I'm supposed to be doing it. (If you stalked far enough, you'd see I'm darn new at this). Should I be doing this on my talk page? Argh... newbies... Thanks for the patience.

License tagging for File:Hawkins Field 2013.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Hawkins Field 2013.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:05, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

New tournament bracket template
Hello, I was wondering if you could help me with a bracket. I would like to make a page on the NCAA Division II baseball tournament, but many of the tournaments use a seven team double elimination bracket. This is not a bracket that there is currently a template for. As I have seen from your former contributions, you clearly know a thing or two about writing these, and I was hoping that you would be able to create a template for a tournament like this. Your assistance will be much appreciated, thank you. Hitmissgoodnogood (talk) 02:30, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Avoiding cut-and-paste moves
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Honeywell Aerospace a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.
