Wikilinking
Just to let you know, you ONLY wikilink a date when it's really important, such as a birth of child, etc. or death, or such. You don't need to be wikilinking every single date in the artlce, such as I undid on the Pat White (American football) article. You linked every date, in 2008 that Pat White said somethin'. Also you DON'T need to wikilink years, unless something important happened and you don't have the exact date of it. The reason I'm tellin' you this is 'cuz I'd been gotten onto for that. Also you don't added the th or rd on dates. It's not done that way, sorry.  Cra sh U  nderride  05:18, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Just a friendly warning
You think about what articles you create for WVU players. Ellis Lankster?? Why? He's not a started, when he becomes one THEN create it. I'm tempted to ((prod}} it. Also, keep in mind my heads up on the wikilinking. Thanks,  Cra sh U  nderride  20:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikilinking 2.
When you wikilink a college in an article for an athlete, use that schools sports team article. Such as Reed Williams when linking to the East Carolina football team, you need to link hereEast Carolina Pirates football, rather than just to East Carolina University. The reason I'm telling you this is that it follows the Wikipedia guidelines (I don't have the exact article name for it but I read it). Just thought you should know.

Proper wikilinking college sports teams
I've noticed that when you wiki link teams for games where someone recorded stats, you just put the schools article link. You're supposed to link to the school's football team page. Or basketball if for a basketball player. I've had to go and fix many of these. See | this revision for what the proper way. If the school doesn't have a football page, link then to the athletic page. If not athletic page, then link to the schools athletics section on the schools page. That's how it's supposed to be done, in the order. Also, if you can see the same school mentioned more than once on the screen at the same time, you DON'T need to wikilink it more than once. Just thought you should know.  Cra sh U  nderride  18:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

How to PROPERLY wikilinks college football teams
Here's an example of a properly worded intro:


 * Keilen Dykes (born September 6, 1984 in Youngstown, Ohio) is an American football defensive tackle for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League. He played collegiately at West Virginia.

Here's an example of how to link a college football season:

RIGHT
 * 2005

WRONG
 * 2005

Here is a list of football teams that appear in WVU players articles quite often. This are PROPER links, as are supposed to be place in artilces. These of which you HAVE NOT been using.

Pitt East Carolina Central Florida James Madison Virginia Tech UConn Syracuse Rutgers Temple Boston College Wofford Maryland Cincinnati South Florida Marshall Louisville Oklahoma

In artilces you have edited and NOT properly linked teams, you need to go back and fix them, as I have been doing that for several weeks and I have grown tried of fixing your links.  Cra sh U  nderride  22:14, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Small niggle
For my sanity's sake, and so I don't have to become a cyber-stalker: "home run" is two words. That is all :)


 * I call the honorable gentleman's attention to the above sentence again since I fixed six of these this morning. Helluva outing by Volquez yesterday - won't have to listen to a certain coworker crow about a sweep now!  Majorclanger (talk) 11:30, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually, there is one other thing, but it doesn't drive me nuts like the home run thing - in general, it's preferred to spell out single digit numbers in articles, using the numerals only for 10 and greater. It's in the manual of style someplace, but it's 3:45 a.m. as I type this in the middle of an electrical storm, and I can't be bothered to look it up.

Oooh, errr... one last thing: nice work on the baseball player updates. You don't go overboard with the current stats and actually cite stuff. And you have good taste in teams. Walt Jocketty will get the thing turned around, no later than 2010, I would guess. Majorclanger (talk) 08:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No worries - glad you took it in the spirit I intended. I live in Cardinals country and the consensus around here is that he's a miracle worker.  Give him any budget at all and he'll get good players.  Not so sure about the club's current manager however... Majorclanger (talk) 23:19, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Slaton
It seems you've done the bulk of the work on the article. While it's well-written, this article is insanely too long for a college player that has yet to appear in an NFL game. His college section should be a mere fraction of what it is now. It all just has way too much detail. The pre-draft section was also full of unimportant rankings, quotes, comparisons, etc. It's size it simply way too massive for a guy that's only played college ball so far.► Chris Nelson Holla! 20:04, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, be careful about how much preseason info you add on these guys. In the long run, it's not likely to be relevant unless they have very short careers. Imagine if Brett Favre's article contained info on all his preseason games. On line on a year's preseason stats might be worthy, but in the long run nothing more. The info is fine for now, but I'd recommend condensing it once the preseason is over, i.e. "Slaton rushed for 340 yards in the preseason, including 87 yards against the Oakland Raiders." (Numbers and teams made up, but you get the point.► Chris Nelson Holla! 23:33, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Tisk tisk tisk
lol. If something, a school is wikilinked in an aritlce it only needs to be linked again once it's not on the screen. Like if Rutgers is linked and then appears on the screen it does not need to be linked again. Basically, nothing should appear on the screen more than once at a time and all be wikilinked. Also, you're getting better about the football teams page linking. However don't use Rutgers Scarlet Knights, be as specific as possible, use Rutgers Scarlet Knights football (just an example).
