I was planning on creating the article on the basketball player, but only after Ryan Wittman and Magnum Rolle reached GA status. Are you suggesting I should create the article now? ~  EDDY  ( talk / contribs / editor review ) ~ 22:24, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Walter Hass.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Walter Hass.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:57, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

External links for college football bios
Strikehold, saw your edits on Clark Shaughnessy. First off, nice job on expanding that one. As for the external links, I think we've run into this sort of disagreement before. WP:EL also states under "What should be linked": "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks), or other reasons."

Formal guidelines aside, there's a real utility to having a few links to definitive databases like College Football Data Warehouse, Sports-Reference sites, etc. I know I'm always clicking on those links. Even if they are cited in the body of the article, they are much easier to locate in the external links section than among potentially scores of reference listings. The more I think I think about it, the CFBHOF and CFBDW links should probably be removed from Template:Infobox college coach, to follow the general form of other bio infoboxes, and listed primarily in the external links sections.

Major League Baseball is unquestionably the leader among North American sports when it comes to historical record, statistical documentation, and significance of its hall of fame. If you look at GA-rated baseball bio articles such as Cy Young and Roberto Clemente, they are setting a precedent in practice for inclusion of such stats and HOF links in the external links section.

Tackle (American football)
Hi, now that you've converted Tackle (American football) into a disambiguation page, could you help fix the links that now point to the disambig per WP:FIXDABLINKS? Thanks, -- Ja Ga  talk 12:47, 26 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Most of those should still point to the same page. There isn't an article for the generic "tackle" position that existed before teams played with separate offensive/defensive units, so it would be incorrect to point those links to either OT or DT, so until/unless Tackle (American football) is expanded into an article, I think it fits as one of the exceptions for linking to a dab. Strikehold (talk) 22:09, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Exceptions? What exceptions are you referring to? The only OK links to disambiguation pages are intentional ones, and these links don't fall in that category. Perhaps an article would be better than a dab. -- Ja Ga  talk 23:07, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I was wondering - since you're a prolific article creator, and you about the history of the tackle position, could you start an article for Tackle (American football)? Right now, of all disambiguation pages with incoming links, this one is the worst, and a proper article is probably the best solution. Thanks, -- Ja Ga  talk  18:32, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I will get to it at some point soon. Strikehold (talk) 23:08, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

As the subsidiary articles had such redundant elements, I moved their content into Tackle (American football) as sections, leaving behind redirects that link to the sections. That allows for future division of the sections back into articles, if desired. Meanwhile, the redirects can accumulate incoming links. 69.3.72.9 (talk) 15:05, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that
I thought it was common knowledge how bad the Terps' defense was under Duffner--being a Carolina fan and having watched the scoreboards on both sides blow a fuse in those days. Anyways, I added some refs--hope this is better. Blueboy96 04:24, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Thomas Reap
I did several searches and didn't come up with anything useful on Reap. I found a couple articles with game reports from Villanova games that refer to him playing tackle, but that's already covered. There is a possible match in the Social Security Death Index for a Thomas Reap, born 20 Apr 1891, died Feb 1973, last address in Pittston, Luzerne, PA. That sounds like it could well by your guy, but I couldn't find any obituaries to confirm the match. Cbl62 (talk) 04:06, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for checking on it. I ran into similar problems, and found the same SSDI entry, but didn't buy it was him because he would have been a little older than usual for the years he was in college. I just did another search and found his obituary. Explains why he was not in SSDI, he died in 1935. Thanks again. Strikehold (talk) 04:26, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Mark Manges.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mark Manges.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 20:27, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

This sentence doesn't make any sense: "In 2001, Pastrana was an associate professor of health and education at Anne Arundel Community College,[31] where he was still teaching as of 2001."

Tom Brown (American football/baseball)
I reverted your move of this page. I don't really like the disambiguator either, but there's two problems with using "(athlete)". First is that "(athlete)" is generally used as a dab'er for track and field athletes only. However, even if you disregard that, there are, including this page, at least six different sports figures named Tom Brown, so it's also not specific enough to work. -Dewelar (talk) 02:04, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Category:Snow Badgers football coaches
Strikehold, I saw that you created Category:Snow Badgers football coaches. I moved it from Category:College football coaches in the United States to a new category, Category:Junior college football coaches in the United States, per the description of the former, "This is a category of college football coaches, including both head coaches and assistants. All coaching levels of NCAA football from NAIA up through Division I FBS are included. Junior colleges are not included in this category, but defunct (non-JuCo) college football programs are." I think it makes sense to keep them separate as such because college and junior college are generally treated as two separate entities in terms of record keeping, e.g. as in List of college football coaches with 200 career wins. Jweiss11 (talk) 04:08, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I didn't realize it was a JUCO. I checked quickly and saw Gary Crowton had also coached there so I made a category for it. Strikehold (talk) 04:34, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Wounded Warrior uniforms
I think that the main article would benefit from having the uniforms as well, and having them in there provides a section in which other uniforms can be placed, such as when the current uniforms become past uniforms when the Terps change uniforms sometime in the future. I just don't see what's wrong with having them in both articles. I've done all of the appropriate NFC stuff for both images. Also, thanks for fixing the heading error in the 2009 article. I cut-and-pasted and forgot to take it out. --Kevin W. 23:58, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * First, let me say nice job on all the different team uniforms -- I think they add a lot to the project. Don't take my stance as a reflection of anything negative about your work. But to address your points: I could see in the future, when there is more content, inclusion of a uniform section (or maybe even a separate article). As for the two Wounded Warrior uniforms though, each was worn only once. The team article covers a 120-year old program, and it is already 70k long (~35k of readable prose, which is starting to push it). I think proportionality has to be kept in mind, because some things inevitably have to be left out and be covered elsewhere, just as in the history section which links to more in-depth subarticles. (As an aside, I am fairly certain there will be disagreement at some point over whether its inclusion anywhere other than the season pages would meet WP:NFCC, although I don't agree with that view). Strikehold (talk) 00:19, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Maryland's uniform history so I can't contribute to an article about their uniforms. I'm sure there will be sufficient content to justify a specific page in due time, though. --Kevin W. 05:43, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Irvin Smith's Bio
After consulting with my attorney, it has been decided to contact you first before pursuing other avenues, regarding the negative material and irrelevant facts posted in my Wikipedia biography. Wikipedia has a "People who are relatively unknown" policy. It states you must "exercise restraint and include only material relevant to their notability" and it also states “material that may adversely affect a person's reputation should be treated with special care; in many jurisdictions, repeating a defamatory claim is actionable, and there is additional protection for subjects who are not public figures”. The time was taken and resources were used to find archived articles about me. Out of all the articles written by the Frederick Post, Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, Montgomery Journal, Montgomery Gazette, and finally the Montreal Gazette, that included my name, the only articles deemed important and used in my bio were about me fainting in practice and me being arrested. This raises concerns about whether or not this Wikipedia bio was written neutrally. It also creates the question of what an article about me being arrested for unfounded accusations by an ex-girlfriend, contributes to my bio. There is no longer any public record of my arrests. All records were expunged after I was found not guilty on all charges. I have all the court documents (that can be provided) from my trial stating that I was found not guilty on all charges. This matter was expunged 16 years ago to protect me, my future, my family and my reputation. I am in the public service sector now and this matter has been brought to my attention at my work place. I have had to explain this situation, provide the supporting documentation to my superiors, and explain why this wasn't on my application of employment. Your publication of this has cost me time and almost my career. There is also a concern about the neutral point of view (NPOV) aspect of my bio. There were plenty of articles written about my athletic scholarship, my accomplishments on the field, and my commitment to and activities within the community. But few of these articles contribute to the writing of this bio. I am still active within my community and am used as a role model for children. But due to the postings that originated and verified by you starting in October of 2010, my reputation is being affected within the community. Please consider removing this non relevant aspect of my past that contributes nothing positive to my bio.

Thank you, (Irvsmitty (talk) 01:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC))

Maryland Terrapins coach navbox
Good morning, Strikehold. I just wanted you to know that I had tweaked the Maryland Terrapins football coach navbox, and why. As you know, we have recently upgraded all 122 of the Division I FBS coach navboxes to include first names and years of service. These upgraded navboxes have now replaced the old coach succession boxes, which have been deleted from all FBS coach pages. Amogn all of the other changes, we have also inserted the collapsed state code, which we are also using consistently for all upgraded navboxes, and which should be used in all navboxes over two lines of text. While this is good policy in any event, we are also doing it to answer some of the minor objections of the WP:CBB and WP:NFL guys. The CBB guys have already agreed to use the new enhanced navboxes as a precursor to deleting all of their succession boxes, and we are now nudging the NFL guys in the same direction.

If you have any questions, please give me a shout on my talk page or the WP:CFB talk page. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 13:54, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Template:Baltimore Bees men's lacrosse coach navbox
Strikehold, I'm doing in little clean-up and organization for the coaching nav boxes of various college sports. Question for you: were the Baltimore Bees an NCAA D-I team? I'm trying to figure out if Template:Baltimore Bees men's lacrosse coach navbox belongs in Category:NCAA Division I men's lacrosse coach navigational boxes. Thanks.

 * Jweiss, no, they were a Division II team (now defunct). Strikehold (talk) 05:27, 11 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info. I realized whichever division they were in, the template belongs in Category:Defunct men's lacrosse program coach navigational boxes, to parallel what's been done for the football coach navboxes. Jweiss11 (talk) 14:57, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

2002 Maryland National Champs template
Hi Strikehold- I just reverted an edit that you made to Template:2002 Maryland basketball and, since I know you are a good faith editor of Terp articles, I wanted to explain why. WP:CBB is trying to follow the example that WP:CFB set before us for national championship teams - only including notable members of championship teams. Since the purpose of the template is to link connected articles, it doesn't make sense to have delinked articles. On the Maryland article, Mike Grinnon just went through AfD and was deleted - so he clearly isn't notable and shouldn't appear. Tahj Holden, Byron Mouton and Ryan Randle are borderline cases but they've never been tested. Based on recent AfD debates for current players (like Leslie McDonald), they probably all meet notability guidelines based on non-trivial news coverage (and possibly professional ststus in major European leagues) - but to my knowledge they've never been created so hard to say for sure. All team members are displayed on the season page for the team - so those team members' names aren't lost. Hope this all makes sense. If you want to take a crack at any of the Mouton/Holden/Randle articles the effort would be aprreciated - we are still a young project so many notable college basketball players have not yet been created.
