Enough
Stop slapping warnings on my Talk page. We're taking this to the article's Talk page and we will discuss it there. The information has been sourced, and if you wish to dispute on Talk, we can discuss there. No more edit warring. I'm about to have this turned over to an admin, but perhaps we can figure it out by discussing it. Keep in mind that you are in repeated violation of WP:EDITWAR (and not just with your edit dispute with me), WP:3RR, and WP:CIV. In addition, I redirect you to this section of WP:REMOVAL:

"Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines require all information to be citable to sources. When information is unsourced, and it is doubtful any sources are available for the information, it can be boldly removed.

If you think a source can be found, but you do not wish to supply one yourself, you can add the template ( will also work) after the statement, which will add [citation needed]. This will encourage someone, often the editor who initially added the statement, to add a citation for the information.

Negative unsourced information about living people shall be removed immediately, as per Wikipedia's biographies of living people policy, without the use of such a template."

I'm reverting it back to the original and thoroughly sourced information. Please do not re-revert, and come to the article talk page so we can work together to resolve any issues you feel still remain.--LesPhilky (talk) 01:43, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
 * This unsourced content issue has been discussed extensively on your Talk including explicit content callouts, diffs, and links to relevant policy with no resolution.,, , .

Please do not change anything i have added to the bill libby page as he is my father so i know what i am adding is correct. I am Laurie Libby Lib222rn (talk) 02:35, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

How do i get it to be updated to correct information. You have wrong dates listed which is falsifying information. This is not right. I am working on updating his website, if i get the information on there will you then let these edits happe. Because it is not right. Also why did you take off the bill libby memoral award list, it should be there as it is an award named after him. Lib222rn (talk) 23:57, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Pittsburgh Panthers women's volleyball


A tag has been placed on Category:Pittsburgh Panthers women's volleyball requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

"Evasion"
Per WP:EVASION, I am totally okay to make constructive edits. It states the edits may stand if they are constructive.

 * That's manifestly untrue. Dawg, I'm happy to help in keeping an evasive editor in check if you'll just point me to the underlying block.  Maybe note your suspicions on the IP's Talk page too, so other editors can quickly see what the problem is.  Thanks.  JohnInDC (talk) 13:57, 26 October 2018 (UTC)


 * WP:EVASION states Anyone is free to revert any edits made in violation of a block, without giving any further reason and without regard to the three-revert rule.
 * Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CalebHughes/Archive has the blocked sockmaster and particulars.
 * Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of CalebHughes has the ongoing list of socks, with another new sock account soon to join that cat.
 * The IP edits can be reverted, though page protection has been used previously and is now pending. It's often easier to wait to revert to stable after PP. UW Dawgs (talk) 19:13, 26 October 2018 (UTC)


 * WP:EVASION states "This does not mean that edits must be reverted just because they were made by a blocked editor (obviously helpful changes, such as fixing typos or undoing vandalism, can be allowed to stand)."

Inserting much-needed references and updating info are helpful changes.

National Championships
In regards to National Championships for a university, I always look at the most recent Media Guide for each university. If they don't specifically recognize a championship I don't add it to their list of claimed championships. But if the NCAA record book recognizes it I add it to unclaimed championships. I cite the media guide. What more do I have to do. Sullivan9211 (User talk:Sullivan9211) 18:09, 31 August 2018 (CST)

Syracuse football
The lead section (also known as the lead or introduction) of a Wikipedia article is the section before the table of contents and the first heading. The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents. It is not a news-style lead or "lede" paragraph.

Summary of the program, very brief history, awards, stadium. Your reasoning to changing it? Pzhanik (talk) 05:28, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Let’s make a solid lead section. I’m updating the page to include the rich history, traditions and success that the program has had in the past. With the program currently being under spotlight, there has been a big increase in social media and wikipedia pages clicks. Let’s work together, and let everyone to know more about the Orange. Check out Clemson, Alabama’s lead sections. Very informative but short. I thought i did a good enough job, but if there is something you think is wrong let me know Pzhanik (talk) 05:32, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes in general. However, don't needlessly bold, use WP:NEUTRAL prose, and ensure all information is supported by the body of the article per WP:LEDE. UW Dawgs (talk) 19:44, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Saw bolded numbers on some page, but I changed it. I mainly follow Clemson, Alabama, Notre Dame football pages for reference besides WP:NEUTRAL.

Regarding Scott Shafer. He wasn’t hired from the outside, he inherited the team from Marrone who left the program by his choice. Scott Shafer didn’t have his own era per se. The reason I included him under Coach Marrone era. Would you agree?

Also, I was thinking to incude more information on Vic Hanson, who was a legendary figure not only in Syracuse football, but also in basketball, and overall all Orange athletics. Pzhanik (talk) 05:42, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Presume you mean this edit. We don't use inline tags in section headers. His tenure is peer to the other coaches and size/format of the header text should be presented in an indentical manner. UW Dawgs (talk) 19:44, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Sorting is wrong. Gotta go from big to small. History, traditions, rivalries (it’s historical), conference, program achievements (championships, bowls, ap polls), then individual achievements. Facilities are placed last. Pzhanik (talk) 05:44, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * List of NCAA Division I FBS football programs is a good starting place to observe similiar team articles. Your stated preferencer differs wildly. UW Dawgs (talk) 19:44, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * wildly is overstatement. Compare Syracuse page to Clemson now. Same exact order, except some that you did, I didn't bother undoing it, it seems fine to me.

LTU Football Article
I noticed you reversed my edit on that article. I must point out to you that your revised post is factually inaccurate: LTU was indeed extended an offer to play in a bowl....the Independence Bowl, agaisnt ULM. They famously did not act upon it, and the Indy Bowl then chose another school. Before I revert your edit, please provide to me any credible evidence to contradict my statements above. Thanks.Pncomeaux (talk)
 * Your prose includes ..., but this was turned down, as they were waiting for 'other options.' No other options came along, .... Some of this is poorly written and other bits are directly contradicted by your citation. But, you are entirely correct about the article not currently reflecting the invite/decline issue. Also, you may wish to review refill as an aide to constructing citations with fully populated parameters especially when your edit removes a well-formed citation.

Most-Played Rivalries
Pursuant to your request, I cited to an article that the Oregon State-Washington Rivalry is, in fact, a rivalry, because duh. Washington's oldest rival in the Northwest is Oregon State. The rivalry predates both the Apple Cup and the Oregon-Washington Series. Additionally, I can point to several other articles on Oregon State regarding the rivalry with Washington as a rivalry. I also added a cite to an article, which refers to Oregon State-Washington State as a rivalry.Wilkyisdashiznit (talk) 22:14, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

This is Sammysafari. The All-American for Alabama does not need a source. Its already cited on the List of Alabama Crimson Tide football All-Americans page and the 2018 College Football All-America Team page. Don't change it again. 10:15, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Sourced or not this is accurate. Go look at the Wikipedia page for 2018 College Football All-America Team page. I imagine you know how to do simple math. If Alabama had 69 Consensus All-Americans and gained 5 more after this recent 2018 season that would make 74.

Tulane Green Wave football team page format
Back on 23 November 2018, I reorganized Tulane Green Wave football to align with the WikiProject College football/Team pages format. The format proposed there doesn't appear to be a standard nor an accepted convention, but it seemed a reasonable shot at providing guidance for a consistent layout. I noticed that you recently reorganized the page, which undoes the alignment. I didn't see any explanation for that, so I wanted to reach out, first, to see if you might add some commentary to Talk:Tulane_Green_Wave_football to provide your thoughts. Secondly, perhaps WikiProject College football/Team pages format should be changed to align with your ideas. I don't have a strong view as to what is right or the best, so maybe you might propose in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_football/Team_pages_format changes for a different organization for the format of college football/team pages that could be used to guide everyone. Or perhaps an argument could/should be made that no guidance is really needed. Appreciate your thoughts.

Ed Murray
Hi.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Murray_(Washington_politician)

WP:BLPNAME suggests we should not name 3 alleged victims as they're private individuals.

We write an encyclopedia that seeks to reach consensus about the historical importance of (sometimes) people. Do you think the names of alleged victims are connected to the historical importance of the subject? In your view, are the specific prices of sex purchases and disposition of genitals important to understanding the historical importance of this WP:POL? Since Wikipedia is not a newspaper, I often wonder which details covered in the press as stories unfold belong in the encyclopedia as part of the historical record.

I'm still new so I hope to learn from you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcfnord (talk • contribs) 00:53, 20 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello. WP:BLPNAME says When the name of a private individual has not been widely disseminated or has been intentionally concealed, such as in certain court cases or occupations, it is often preferable to omit it, especially when doing so does not result in a significant loss of context. Names of both individuals are in wide circulation (search on site:seattletimes.com "Jeff Simpson" and "Lloyd Anderson") and they are/were in contact with reporters, example:
 * "Simpson, 50, of Gladstone, Oregon, said in a telephone interview he decided to file the claim 'to help me with closure and to vindicate my name.'"
 * "Simpson and another accuser, Lloyd Anderson, threatened a lawsuit and spoke with some reporters."
 * I understand your callout, but don't agree in these circumstance. Your WP:EDITSUMMARY didn't give the impression that BLPNAME was your concern, so I hadn't consider it. Cheers, UW Dawgs (talk) 01:15, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

BLPs must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. It is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. This policy applies to any living person mentioned in a BLP, whether or not that person is the subject of the article. Perhaps victims will re-add their names to the entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcfnord (talk • contribs) 04:28, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate your hard work but please familiarize yourself with WP:OWN. According to the edit history of Ken Griffey Jr. you've reverted several good faith edits (including mine) for paper thin reasons.

UCF has won 25 in a row
this is verifiable. Stop edit warring with the IPs. Enigmamsg 22:02, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed and stated on Talk, UCF won 25 in a row. The SPA editor is making two core claims, the streak is 25 games and it places UCF in a 6-way tie through the 2018 season. The latter claim is unsourced and dual sourcing is unlikely to surface until the NCAA's comprehensive 2019 Record Book is published -also discussed on the article's Talk. The FBS section (intro and table) was previously accurate, cited, and verifiable when stated as through the 2017 season. After these edits, the FBS section is no longer is in agreement with the section intro, table, and sourcing -there is no sourcing for the 6-way tie content through the 2018 season which the edits purport.


 * That makes these edits a violation of WP:SYN policy: Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. Citing UCF's 25-game streak through the 2018 season does not ALSO establish that they are now in a 6-way tie with a list of teams established by a 2017-season citation.


 * The repeated insertion of that unsourced content by the editor is a violation of WP:UNSOURCED policy: All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports[2] the contribution.[3] There is no sourcing of any kind for the 6-way tie claim.


 * I think WP:AGF is always helpful. Telling me simply that UCF has won 25 games is missing nature of the sourcing defect, the existing discussion on the article's Talk, all recent edit summaries which state this defect, and the retaliatory threats made to my Talk -while charming, they are not my motivation. The article was demonstrably accurate and well-cited prior to the editor's sole interest in crow-barring UCF's accomplishment. And they have not to date produced an edit which conforms to wiki policy or acknowledged the issues directly called out on Talk.


 * An aside, we don't have this sourcing problem with incremental career/all-time records in pro sports, as S/R and the official league sites update their current record holders throughout the season. Ex, S/R can source daily changes to the NBA's all-time FG-leaders fg_career.html, such as LaMarcus Aldridge is currently the No 62. with 7300 FG through Feb 5, 2019. And if he makes 6+ FGs in his next game, he will pass Mitch Richmond and become No 61 on that list. Etc with NFL, MLB, and so on.  Contrasting here with the lack of any known real-time coverage of this article's topic.


 * I do appreciate that you presumably dislike multiple PP requests. As the editor (appears to have) registered a SPA account, jumps IPs, and raises obvious SOCK issues which seems to put us beyond WP:DONTBITE, PP seems to be the best option as the article's underlying facts will not change during the off-season. There remain multiple ways to include UCF's achievement on the article, including waiting for the NCAA to publish their 2019 Record Book as a RS or simply appending UCF's 2018 accomplishment below the table for later inclusion when it can be paired to the list with sourcing. UW Dawgs (talk) 02:08, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * You are claiming that every edit adding UCF is of one user edit warring against consensus. This is simply not correct. There are at least three different people trying to get UCF included on the list. Enigmamsg 05:40, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

removing tables
Not sure why you're going through dozens of college football program articles removing various lists and tables. If they need sourcing or updating, leave a banner to indicate that and give regular page editors a chance to fix things. It took me all of ten minutes to update the table you deleted at Florida Gators football. Thanks. --Zeng8r (talk) 11:18, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of NCAA Division I Baseball Championships recent history for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article NCAA Division I Baseball Championships recent history is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/NCAA Division I Baseball Championships recent history until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Jay Jor (talk) 19:47, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Long section tedford
I broke down the section into subsections and took out some content as per marker "This section is too long. Consider splitting it into new pages, adding subheadings, or condensing it." Yet you put up the marker again. Can you please be more specific regarding your issue.Rybkovich (talk) 06:28, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The article is about Cal Bears football. The Tedford-era section is possibly the largest coaching section seen in any FBS team article -coaching sections are generally no more than 4 paragraphs for a notable and long-tenured coach. Note, the Tedford section at Cal Bears football is almost double that seen on Jeff Tedford within the Cal section where that article is entirely about Tedford. The section should be pruned to summarize, rather than itemize. Hence the tag. Are you interested in trimming it? UW Dawgs (talk) 15:45, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The Tedford era is not a coaching section, it is a historic period of time that is referred to by the name of the coach. It is reasonable to include information such as key details of a season and names of great players.
 * You're using the article that you invest a lot of your time in - UW Huskies as a template for other articles with other approaches. Other people contributed to the Tedford section, it was WORK, I respect their work. If their information was superfluous, I transferred to the season entry. If I agreed with their decision to have that information in the article (note it was not a sole decision, me retaining it is TWO editors agreeing on the point) I kept it. Just like I respected your OPINION and made some trimmings and subsections, please respect other editors, especially the ones that CONTRIBUTE CONTENT to the articles. Re Dykes, before encouraging that content is edited out, please make an entry explain why the section is too long, so it can be discussed by other editors. You don't have to excuse the tone of this message, but please try to understand it, it takes editors time to research and to enter the information, calling for deletion of the product of that WORK without making suggestion is simply disrespectful. One is much more willing to edit their WORK, if the request is respectfully presented in the TALK SECTION. Rybkovich (talk) 21:13, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Disruptive Editing
It is not disruptive editing to add factual information to an article, even to continue to do so against persistent effort from those who don’t like the new content and try to remove it without substantiation. You do good work on Wikipedia and make valuable additions. I’m not sure why you have chosen to challenge the NCAA’s trademarked website, or to join in the nonsensical argument that the list of FBS champions on the NCAA’s own championship website is somehow not worth mentioning. It is true that schools routinely claim dubious championships and that that information should be mentioned in the schools’ Wikipedia sites. But it is equally true that the NCAA’s own championship website lists FBS champions dating back to 1869. This is also legitimate to mention on the Wikipedia site. I would argue even more so. The fact that NCAA, like nearly every other sports league and many corporations, outsources management of the site doesn’t negate the list of champions. Nor does the fact that, like the other sports sites, some articles on the site are opinion columns, which always include a disclaimer. Tellingly, the list of champions has no such disclaimer. The NCAA site has been recognized by ESPN and other reputable sports organizations as a legitimate listing of NCAA-recognized champions. This certainly supersedes the desire of a small handful of Wikipedia editors trying to protect the alleged sanctity of claimed championships. Unless you can find sourced documentation that the NCAA list is not credible, it is a legitimate addition to school’s Wikipedia sites. Every edit I have made is backed up by fact and is verifiable. Feel free to make a challenge based upon your view that the NCAA’s own site isn’t a legitimate source of information. I’m quite certain how that challenge will be resolved.

Red River Showdown here
Hi UW ~ Nice to meet you ~ I think I see why you reverted me (I have returned the proper info in the info box) maybe you are thinking that every time that texas and Ou get together it's a red river showdown ~ but the game played on December 1, 2018 was not a red river showdown it was a national championship ~ totally different than the red river show down ~ if you think I'm in error lets talk about it ~ I'll be glad too ~ once again nice meeting you ~ ~mitch~ (talk) 21:29, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi UW ~ I just got reading what you called a consensus ~ you are highly mistaken ~ your opinion and two IP address's opinion about a major change on a Wikipedia article does not amount to a true consensus ~ ~ no examples by you or the two IP's ~ but if you look at the added Remove Championship Game result from Red River Rivalry ~ from April 2019 I think you are sadly mistaken on your referencing it  as a consensus ~  ~mitch~ (talk) 23:04, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

You can also see multiple CFB-oriented editors reverting the IPs, with on-point edit summaries, based on their thorough understanding of the issue. That is I why I referred to you to the history, not the Talk page which you are now referencing.

You left a message on my talk page.

 * The reason why I did that was someone decided to add a non-existent game in 1890 to the game results table. I quickly reverted the change when I saw that the "game" was added rather sloppily to the table (it had TBA as the location of the game, which was a big red flag).

South Carolina 2007
You can see on here on the schedule and results that South Carolina started the season 6-1, and lost the rest of their games. Yes they finished 6-6 but no they did not get picked for a bowl game. Including losing to Vandy 17-6 and Tennessee 27-24 in overtime after a 21-0 comeback. The bad thing about it, it doesn't even have anything about the 2007 season, how are people gonna know what happened? The year 2007 season existed. You can't skip seasons, come on now.

Unsourced Golden Eagles Football Rivalries content
You have twice deleted rivalries on the Southern Miss Golden Eagles football page, stating that a reliable source is needed. The official football program is cited, which is a reliable source. Please explain why you keep deleting these statistics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JDTilley (talk • contribs) 14:46, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The Rivalry section has been tagged with Template:Refimprove-section for almost one year, re lack of supporting citations. The East Carolina section has two citations, neither of which directly support a rivalry. Ditto Louisville. Ditto UAB with one citation. Establishing a routine series does not establish that a rivalry exists. Our policy of WP:BURDEN states All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports[2] the contribution.[3] Please do not continue to add or restore unsourced rivalry claims to this Rivalry section. UW Dawgs (talk) 15:57, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The term rivalry is subjective and a matter of opinion. However, two schools with upward of 30 competitive games since the 40s and 50s, regardless of conference membership, would constitute a rivalry to most (including myself, a life-long USM fan). I agree that de facto series meetings due to shared conference membership do not constitute a rivalry. The UAB addition was not made by me. The consensus opinion of USM fans that USM-ECU and USM-UL were rivalry games is based upon years of history and competitive matchups among these teams. This can be verified by reviewing the reliable source that I have provided. Any further citation mentioning rivalry would only be citing authors' opinions, whereas the included citation provides actual evidence of the rivalries. Please refrain from removing these rivalries from the rivalry section, as the WP:BURDEN has been met for these rivalries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JDTilley (talk • contribs) 16:28, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Rivalries
I noticed the edits you made to the college football rivalries page. I believe the page as it stands now dilutes the meaning of "rivalry", which is a game where two teams (and BOTH sets of fans) take particular pleasure in defeating their opponent. A Washington-Oregon game is much more a rivalry game than Washington-Oregon State. The latter is more a longstanding series and less a rivalry game. I would say this is one case where splitting the sections into a "Major Rivalry" and "Other Rivalry games" preserves the meaning of rivalries by highlighting the particularly intense ones. I am even volunteering to help maintain the page. G. Capo (talk) 04:23, 26 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Our policy of Verifiability states, In Wikipedia, verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source.

Edward Glass
I noticed your reversion of my fix to an article. If you want to create an article about the Edward Glass who played football at Yale, then go ahead and do so, but you cannot do that at the Edward Glass location because that is a disambiguation page. And it is invalid to link to disambiguation pages from any mainspace article, and there is vast program and machinery to find and remove all such links, so your re-created link will get revisited by other editors following this, even if I completely walk away.

One way to fix it is to remove the linking, as i did, on expectation that a separate article about this person is not likely to be created soon.

Another way you can "fix" it temporarily, is to change the link in the article to a redlink for the name of the article you think is needed, say to Edward Glass (bulldawg). And add that redlink to the disambiguation page, too, with an entry like: There is a lot of guidance available about disambiguation but maybe this is all you need right now.

NFL articles
Why does the Packers article only credit them with winning ONE championship in each of the years 1966 and 1967 while the Jets and Chiefs articles credit them with winning TWO league championships in the years that they won both the AFL Championship and the Super Bowl? That is totally inconsistent. The Packers article is well sourced, so the Jets and Chiefs articles should be changed.Politician818 (talk) 13:32, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Gopher/Badger "coChamp"
Yes, and I am not the person who modified it anonymously nor is my modification erroneous in this reality that is life.

There's arbitrary rulings and there's reality. The reality is the nature of a hierarchical sports league is that there IS and MUST be a real defined division champion, regardless of what ANYONE says, otherwise there is no hierarchy. The team that represents their division in the championship game is the division champion regardless of what publication the Big 10 publishes in an effort to make money. The Gophers lost a tie break. How the big 10 wants to document that is meaningless in reality. Guitarmousepad (talk) 19:53, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Recognizing the realities of how life works regardless of arbitrary rules is not an opinion. It's not a true league if there are ties. I will see myself out of this hell hole.

Rollback granted
Hi UW Dawgs. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AUW_Dawgs enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Salvio 11:06, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Arkansas–Texas Tech
I've been going through CalebHughes' rivalry articles and successfully nominated Articles for deletion/Louisville–West Virginia football rivalry. I am considering also nominating Arkansas–Texas Tech football rivalry, another CalebHughes creation. The article does cite one local source (here), and a blog, referring to it as a rivalry. The teams played 35 times from 1957 to 1991, but my newspaper searches don't turn up any significant coverage from the time when they played dealing with the series as a rivalry. (Indeed, zero hits for "arkansas texas tech rivalry", "arkansas texas tech football rivalry", "texas tech arkansas rivalry", and "texas tech arkansas football rivalry".) Rather, it appears to have been an ordinary Southwest Conference matchup that ceased when Arkansas departed the SWC in 1991. It was also pretty one-sided with Arkansas owning a 29–8 edge. Have you looked at notability on this one? Thoughts? Cbl62 (talk) 20:19, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Houston–SMU rivalry
I do not understand the reasoning for deletion of the football rivalry information between Houston and SMU. I have been editing many of the articles related to rivalries of the American Athletic Conference and similarly to Cincinnati–Memphis rivalry these schools have shared history in men's basketball and football. I intended to expand the knowledge base on the rivalries and am hoping that a reversal could be possible. Some of the relevant sources I could find for the rivalry were also focused on the football side, making revising the men's basketball rivalry more challenging. Thanks in advance for any clarification or change of heart.

Nebraska Cornhuskers football
I didn't know we listed ALL the rivalries in the infobox. I think that's crazy--that's way too many, and it defeats the purpose. Can we not just take them out altogether?

Thanks for fixing the website citation on the Pitt-Notre Dame rivalry. I used the auto citation tool and it must not have generated all the information. I truly appreciate the fix. However, I am wondering why you restored the "need citation" tag for the intro sentence. I thought Wikipedia did not require a citation for the intro sentence if the rest of the text clearly supports the statement and contains the necessary cites.

More important, I am wondering why your message refered me to the policy on vandalism along with limits on acceptable additions. I hope the reference to vandalism is a standard reference, and not meant for me personally. I have not published anything that could remotely be considered vandalism and do not intend to do so in the future. So may I respectfully ask why that was included in the message, and what I (or somebody else) can do to satisfy the "need citation" tag on the intro line? Thanks.

 * Thanks. Just to follow up so that I can learn how to do this properly, can you tell me why the intro definition needs a citation tag? Is this not considered a college football rivalry? I notice that it is on the list of college football rivalries linked at the bottom of the page? If that is not enough, what else would be needed to remove the tag? I came across at least one article that referenced the "rivalry" between the schools. Would that do the trick? Also, why is there a tag from 2016 on top saying that the article "needs to be updated".  Hasn't it now been updated with recent edits? Can that tag be removed now?

Guard link updating
As a generational Coug fan, I despise you and everything your username stands for, but can I sugest that if it is truly important to you to update all of those links that WP:AWBREQ could maybe get some traction. VanIsaacWS<sup style="margin-left:-3.0ex">cont 23:43, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

While the link has changed from Guard (American and Canadian football) to Guard (gridiron football), I'm not sure that anything needs to be done about it on a systematic basis using AWB. Per WP:AWBRULES, "Do not make insignificant or inconsequential edits. An edit that has no noticeable effect on the rendered page is generally considered an insignificant edit." A reader seeing the article will see no difference, and a click on the redirect will take the reader to the correct article, whether or not it has been "fixed".

In an attempt to honor one of the major figures in our field, Dr. Stewart Donaldson, I clearly made mistakes. None of this was malicious or meant as aggressive, but it does show my noob status.

So I did my homework and prepped the full page with citations - but that was taken down as well, maybe because I had cleared my browser cache and failed to sign in.

As Wikipedia establishes in the editing links UW Dawgs has recommended, "You just need to remember that you can't break Wikipedia and although there are many protocols, perfection is not required, as Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles."Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia If UW Dawgs had an issue with some misspelled words or links, then UW Dawgs could have engaged in good-faith editing by correcting the words or the formatting of sources/links, rather than deleting entire sentences and accompanying sources.

What readers/editors like us are searching for is a consensus on including Neutral and Fact-Based content, which is not currently the case in these articles about the University of Washington Huskies (i.e. UW Dawgs). As Wikipedia reminds us: "Behind the scenes of Wikipedia articles, there is a large community of volunteer editors working to build the encyclopedia. It is not uncommon for editors to disagree about the way forward. That is when discussion and attempts to reach consensus should take place.Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia:Discussion and consensus

 * After you made your eighth article edit, I suggested you review both Help:Getting started and Single-purpose account. That remains my suggestion to you. UW Dawgs (talk) 07:13, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I had reviewed the Getting Started before and during the editing, as I am a novice editor. Your accusation and recommendation about "single purpose accounts" is unfounded, since I believed I was logged into my account during every edit I made, which was on my iPhone and was very difficult due to the clumsy integration of the Wikipedia iOS App and differing functionality within each browser vs. the iOS App. Since it is obvious I am a novice editor, you should have assumed good faith on my part, instead of continuing to repeat accusations about violating "single purpose accounts" and making threats as you do with many other users. I wonder why you would immediately assume a fringe conspiracy theory about me "collaborating with multiple accounts" to make edits? Perhaps this is projection on your part?


 * In the Getting Started guides, Wikipedia recommends the following: "While discussing matters, it is very important that you conduct yourself with civility and assume good faith on the part of others."Discussion_and_consensus I recommend you re-read this section, since you are not following the Wikipedia project's protocols and recommendations despite being a veteran editor. You are not assuming good faith, and are not engaging in Discussion and consensus but simply imposing your biased POV and using your extensive knowledge of Wikipedia protocols and vast experience as an editor to bully novices into submission, and/or banishment from Wikipedia.


 * A normal person operating in good faith would be open to discuss the points causing the contention, perhaps even editing the "offending" material so it complies with the project's protocols. Wikipedia asks us to discuss within the Talk pages. I am trying to do so on your Talk page and answered the lengthy and misguided accusations/threats you made on my Talk page. However, you are simply repeating your false accusations and repeating your sarcastic "recommendation" to read the Getting Started Guide, contrary to the Wikipedia project's spirit and protocols.


 * At this point, you have threatened me enough that of course I will not be making any more edits. Your knowledge of these arcane rules and protocols will be used to banish me by accusing me of making "disruptive edits" and "vandalism" when the truth is much simpler: I am a new editor who does not know the ins and outs of Wikipedia. This is the same case for at least 4 or 5 other users I see on your Talk page, all novices who are bewildered by your threats and unsure how to proceed. I have yet to see actual engagement over the substance of the disagreement, rather you simply use your superior Wikipedia editing knowledge and experience to dominate us into submission to your POV.


 * I am seeking Discussion and Consensus, and will make another attempt in the Talk page of the articles in question. The Wikipedia project and I would appreciate your engagement in civil discussion to arrive at consensus and improve said articles. Thank you.Eric1974x (talk) 18:18, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Rivalry tables - compact v. expanded
Per this discussion and several similar discussions I've participated in over the years, it's consensus that college football rivalry tables should be left in expanded form when both teams are often ranked. That way, both teams and their rankings are displayed in the entry for each game, not just the winning team. Could you restore the expanded view to the the handful of Florida-involved rivalry article tables that you just switched to compact view? I didn't revert since you made additional tweaks in some of those edits and I don't want to undo your other work. Thanks. Zeng8r (talk) 19:27, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey Zeng8r, you do great stuff (non-exclusively) on all matters re Florida. I observe that compact is the by far the most common implementation in the cat, poll data globally within these article sections is neither sourced nor specified (re AP, presumably), and mobile is appx 50% of usage where the wider format creates wrapping issues on small screens. That said, explicitly, feel free to revert re those Florida articles. UW Dawgs (talk) 19:44, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

I properly cited the link in my revision. I am not sure why the revision was undone. Thanks SilverPlacebo15 (talk) 15:05, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Rivalry Series
Please tell me why games such as the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry are allowed to have the series count displayed, but not the Michigan vs. Notre Dame/Michigan State/Minnesota. It seems as if you are undoing my edits to just undo them at this point. SilverPlacebo15 (talk) 17:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Please read Wikipedia:Assume good faith before posting anything else here.
 * Thanks for discussing. Allowed? Editors reverted your edits to the stable version of the articles. Re WP:Consensus, this layout is clearly used in the vast majority of articles in Category:College football rivalries in the United States. See the essay at Wikipedia:Other stuff exists as helpful. UW Dawgs (talk) 18:56, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

I apologize for incorrect word being used. I guess what I am trying to say is that there are multiple articles that have the series count displayed, so I am not sure what makes an article "stable" or "unstable". Shouldn't the articles in the category all be "stable"? It's not like what I am writing is irrelevant data, so I see the use for it. Is there a way to add the information in a stable way?

Unsourced wonderlic
I only noticed now that you mentioned a specific editor at WT:NFL. It's good that you didn't template a regular. Hopefully they respond or start sourcing. If not, there are templates, and you can revert if you are contesting. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 03:06, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Stray rivalry text
By intent, I recently removed stray "rivalry" text with AWB, where the text was previously a link to a rivalry article which became orphaned by AfD (Del) outcomes. So if I nicked a valid rivalry link, despite attempts to spotcheck, please ping below. I'll fix including review of the 18/19/20XX team articles for both teams.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at Big Ten Conference. Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! Linking "competence is required" and thus implying that I am incompetent. ✌️ The owner of all 🗸 21:26, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Nah, he's a total pain in the ass and is always trying to crow over certain articles, making sure they're never updated even when people provide information to the contrary. --2603:900A:1A0E:6600:964:82D2:1AE9:E6A2 (talk) 22:48, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

 * You've now I see followed my above comment by making a number of reverts to other articles I've edited, that strike me as weak if any basis. While you cite to wp:lede and wp:seealso, you delete entries that clearly accord with them. Please exercise greater care. Also, as most of your 25 edits made after my complaint were of this sort - are you following me?

Hounding warning
Hello. Given your recent editing history, I feel compelled to warn you - while I start by assuming good faith - against hounding me. Your edits indicate that you have followed me, singling me out, on multiple pages that I have edited, to repeatedly confront or inhibit mywork. This is with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance, or distress. Given that it followed my above note to you, it does raise the suspicion that my contributions are being followed to cause me distress, or out of revenge for a perceived slight. If you continue, I will feel compelled to ask for admin assistance, such as from User:Awilley who appears to be knowledgeable in hounding analysis, as the history here is quite blatant. I would hope that it will not come to that, and that you will instead desist. Thank you. --2603:7000:2143:8500:31E2:234C:2CBC:F9F4 (talk) 05:58, 21 June 2021 (UTC)


 * You have taken up your hounding of me, yet again. If this continues, I will have to ask that it be addressed by an admin. Please desist. 2603:7000:2143:8500:8C73:ABC0:74AB:56FD (talk) 06:49, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
