How to calculate position numbers in season articles
FYI to the task force members... Metalman75402 has reverted the standings numbers in the season article perferring to use a points-per-match system that ignores matches until all teams have played the same amount. I don't think this is what readers will be expecting from this table, but I don't have time to argue about this much (very busy at work and just moved to a new house). He commented on my talk page and I replied on his. If you have an opinion on how the data in this table should be shown, please share. --SkotyWATC 04:17, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

What next?
After close to 3 months, Steve Zakuani finally got reviewed and is now a WP:GA level article. Thanks to Cptnono for helping me push it across the finish line. Anyway, I wanted to ask the taskforce members who watch this page, what's next? One thing I can think of is to have the season list peer reviewed (it's too short to be a WP:FL) and then go for the featured topic. Anyone interested in helping to try to get that done? Eventually, I'll probably get around to it, but if anyone wants to coordinate efforts, I'm up for it. Aside from the FT, another article I plan to invest some time in is the USOC final article, assuming the Sounders make it there again. --SkotyWATC 04:04, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Joining the Sounders FC Task Force
Hey guys, I'm EmeraldCitySupporter, I've been on wikipedia for awhile, I changed to a new account. Just a quick fact about me, I'm the President of the Heartland Horde, which is the Midwest supporters group of the Emerald City Supporters and Sounders FC. So I'm an avid fan for Sounders FC. Also I'm an official ECS Member. I look forward to helping you guys with all Sounders related articles. I plan on helping as much as I can. Thanks and best wishes to you and Sounders this season.

Today's Featured Article Nomination
Just a heads up to anyone left who watches this page (anyone?)... I've nominated CenturyLink Field to appear on the main page of Wikipedia (the 6th most popular page on the internet). There are 2 Sounders FC related Featured Articles that have not yet appeared on the main page (the other is Sigi Schmid), and I figured one of them needed to appear on the main page on the day that Sounders FC goes for their 4th consecutive USOC. I chose to nominate CenturyLink Field for a couple of reasons: (1)a WP:BLP of a Russian football player was appearing just days earlier which would have knocked down the Schmid article's chances of making it and (2)it's a bit of a dig against USSoccer for electing to not host the final at this superior facility and in front of another likely record setting crowd.

So if you have a moment, please head over to the nomination page and voice your support for the nomination. Thanks. --SkotyWATC 21:20, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Fredy Montero Improving Player Articles
I'm back! I'm the editor formerly known as ComputerGuy and I'm going to start improving player articles around here. I've started with most of Fredy Montero's article (haven't cleaned up the club career or added his early life from his MLS bio), but I can't find any reliable sources for his goalscoring stats in Colombia. I can't even find how much he scored! I do know that he played in the 2006 Copa Libertadores and the 2008 Copa Sudamericana, though, and Cali Deportivo played in the first Copa Colombia in 2008. Anyone have the resources to help bring this article to GA status before Fredy leaves for Colombia? SounderBruce (talk · work · sandbox) 23:54, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I've just expanded Michael Gspurning's article with tons of references, a new table. Can someone reassess and go over it? I'm currently trying to find a Creative Commons-licensed picture to use and then nominate the article for GA. SounderBruce (talk · work · sandbox) 08:33, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Also Christian Tiffert and Adam Johansson. I'm doing the internationals first.  Sounder Bruce  17:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delayed response. This a great! A while back a few of us worked on the Steve Zakuani article and got it up to WP:GA status.  Hopefully we can do that with more player articles. --SkotyWATC 23:43, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Help needed with 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final
I've just listed 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final for peer review in preparation for it to go through WP:FA review shortly after the peer review closes. I believe the article covers the subject in a complete manner and is well referenced. My biggest concern is the quality of the prose. So please, if you have a moment, please read the article and provide suggestions/feedback on the review page. --SkotyWATC 23:47, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Promoted! Done and done. On to the next one (probably here). --SkotyWATC 18:25, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Popular pages tool update
As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).

Web tools, to replace the ones at ~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.

If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot (talk) (for Mr.Z-man ) 05:25, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
