I agree to the edit counter opt-in terms

Hi. You created {{UKWildcatsCoach}} and User:Rogerd created {{UKyFbCoach}}. You two should talk and try and sort out how to merge the information on the two templates since they disagree slightly. The naming preference is the previous. Once the info has been merged, please delete the other template. Thanks. MECU≈talk 13:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:UKWildcatsCoach has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. rogerd 04:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The only problem with this so-called "naming preference" is it does not mention what sport it refers to. There currently 10 UK Wildcats Head Coaches of various Men's sports, as well as 10 more Women's sports (which I admit my naming convention doesn't allow for). There is also a {{UKyBbCoach}}, and at the University of Kentucky, as well as some other schools (UNC, Duke, Indiana), basketball is more prominent than football. --rogerd 19:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there.I don't really know what to say. It's hard for me and I assume it must be complicated for all the people in my situation to try a new language out. You see, I've been studying English language since 1995 but, for some reason, I still keep my doubts on the subject. I joined Wikipedia on July 26, 2006 —the Spanish version — and as for a sudden I became deeply acquainted with the English one. I cannot trust myself to do it better, but I would like to; believe me when I say that is my priority. Up to now I've written an average of 30 articles in the Spanish Wikipedia, most of which are based on English and American literature authors and movements. My best ones for so far are es:Frederick Douglass and es:William Shakespeare. On the same way I wrote one article for this wikipedia, originally a translation from Spanish into English. I also added further information to a geography stub. My intention is to help and take part of this wonderful experience, but to do that I may need a hand. Can we work together? Do you want to keep in touch with me? I'm on the web almost all the time. If I'm not here I'm there, always fooling around. Thanks for reading my terrible message. God save me, lol. --Gustavo86 20:17, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On 16 October, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sunflower Showdown, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

.User:Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 05:42, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I support your reversion of the article. I have no idea why people deleted that stuff (or some of the facts I added). When I came across the article it was very sparse, so I filled in some details, not knowing you'd already included most of them in your version. Not sure if we should add any of those details back. Anyway, by working on that article in the state I found it I was not supporting the deletions; I had instead made the mistake of not checking the history before starting to flesh it out. Thanks for your work on the article! --Kathryn NicDhàna 23:34, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of weeks ago you edited the Kansas River article to say that the State of Kansas was named after the Kansas River, not the Kansa Tribe. I'm wondering if you have a reference on that, since related sites just show that the state was named after the tribe. I'm just trying to keep the info consistent. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for listening!

Good evening. Per the discussion about privacy concerns expressed at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of birthdays, date of birth should generally not be added to the biographies of living non-public or semi-public figures. So far, that policy has been interpreted fairly strictly with a pretty high bar being set for the definition of "public figures" who are assumed to have given up their rights to privacy.

By the same token, we should not be adding Category:Date of birth missing to articles unless we have made the case that the person meets the "public figures" threshold. Otherwise, we're just baiting new users into adding content even though the community has already said that we shouldn't include that particular data point. Category:Year of birth missing is okay but the exact date is often not. Thanks for your help. Rossami (talk) 23:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:GeorgeBrettStatue.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:John Brown Painting.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. aliasd·U·T 18:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Willie_wildcat.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 '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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 13:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kgwo,

My name is Jarrod and I'm currently working on a project called WiKUpedia, with the goal of providing the one-stop shop for all things KU. We've had a tremendous response from the community since we went live on Sunday but we need help organizing and improving the wiki. We decided to reach out to experienced Wikipedia editors with ties to the University. You can read a little more about our project in a news story in the Lawrence Journal World

Please feel free to take a look around our project and if this sounds like something that interests you, please respond on my talk page or by email. Thank you so much in advance. Jarrodm (talk) 05:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On July 21, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article AIAW Women's Basketball Tournament, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi Kgwo1972,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

• Each casebook will have a subpage.

• Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
• It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
• Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

• I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

• Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
• Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Regards, Andrew Gradman ^talk/_WP:Hornbook 20:06, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit removing the statement that Kansas has no major league teams. I wanted to write you a personal note because I see your edits a lot and think they're quite good. According to U.S._states_without_major_sports_teams and Major professional sports leagues of the United States and Canada Kansas is one of 25 states without a major league sports franchise (Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey). I think you were thinking of soccer which is not considered a major league sport in the United States. Thanks! Grey Wanderer (talk) 18:44, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've noticed you've been involved in editing Big 12 related articles. I'm trying to gauge the interested in created a Big 12 WikiProject and wondered if you'd like to be involved. There are already pages for WikiProject Big Ten and WikiProject ACC. A Big 12 project would cover the schools themselves and anything to do with conference sports including: events, rivalries, teams, seasons, championships and lore. There is already quite a bit of activity here on Wikipedia regarding the Big 12, and I think a project could help coordinate and unify are efforts. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Big 12, if you are interested and add your name to the list. Grey Wanderer (talk) 23:43, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kgwo1972, WikiProject College Basketball is having a discussion on the use of navboxes vs. succession boxes, and as someone who may feel strongly one way or the other, would you please chime in? We would like if you read the discussion before opining, but it is getting long, so when you do find the time to weigh in it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jrcla2 (talk) 13:27, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kgwo1972. As a long-time ISU Cyclone fan (but not fanatical), I was mildly surprised to see a WP entry for Farmageddon. Even though I attended the 2009 game at Arrowhead and had my ticket and hotel room for the 2010 game before a family issue kept me away, I had never heard the game/rivalry referred to as "Farmageddon". As a WP newbie, I am still trying to figure out stuff like "notability" as it pertains to articles and began by mildly wondering to myself whether this was a cause begun by some Cyclone or Wildcat supporter which existed entirely in his or her mind. My only objection to the article is that the table at the bottom sure has a lot of purple in it. Following the references in the Farmageddon article, I quickly saw that reputable sources had indeed called it Farmageddon. But they all seemed like KC or Kansas-based. I did a quick search of the Des Moines Register site and I could not find the term Farmageddon used there. I then did a Google search and there were a few references to the K-State vs. ISU rivalry as Farmageddon. One of the hits was a Cyclone fan site thus clearly my initial premise was wrong and instead I was, as is often the case, simply clueless. But I also noted that there seemed to be several more Google hits which instead refer to the new Nebraska vs. Iowa match-up as Farmageddon.

That long introduction is by way of anticipating that it won't be long before a WP editor wishes to somehow enter the Nebraska-Iowa contest as Farmageddon--either trying to usurp the article you wrote or at least modify it so as to indicate that there are two rivalries which are referred to as Farmageddon. A posting in a forum on the fan site I mentioned, Cyclone.Fanatic.com, even speculates that the K-State vs. ISU rivalry will no longer be called Farmageddon. Since you seem to be much more involved in college sports than I, you are probably way ahead of me in your knowledge of this topic, but I figured I would mention it in case there was something proactive you thought could be done to make sure that the earlier usage of the term did not get lost in the hub-bub related to the new rivalry.--Grandpa jlc (talk) 15:04, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note! I started that article by using material about the rivalry that someone had (wrongly) included in an article about the comic strip of the same name. Other editors have done a lot of work on the page since that time. I do keep an eye on that article (on my watchlist) and I have actually been meaning to make some edits over there. Hope you enjoyed the 2009 game (despite the outcome). -Kgwo1972 (talk) 21:23, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kgwo1972,

Regarding your edits in the infoboxes regarding NCAA appearances being in the opening round, I want to say first off that while I don't disagree with there needing to be some sort of notation as well, there as been no standardization on this issue developed at the college College Basketball Wikiproject or with the CBB infobox documentation. I myself have previously tried to start discussion on standardizing the results listed in the CBB infoboxes. (see here) However, I think there is an issue with the asterisk being used as a notation, as it has already been employed to denote forfeited and vacated results per NCAA sanctions. In any case, I would recommend bringing the issue to discussion at the College Basketball Wikiproject to form a consensus and get this standardized across all the CBB teams.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of longest active NCAA Division I football series 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 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of longest active NCAA Division I football series until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. Tchaliburton (talk) 16:08, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ElKevbo (talk) 21:01, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:JimColbert.JPG. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:45, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brown–Yale football rivalry. The Brown–Yale football rivalry article has been removed from the wiki as the claimed rivalry could not be established with RS. You subsequently restored the series to List of most-played college football rivalries in NCAA Division I via this edit[1]. As the series is not established as rivalry, and this articles is a list of rivalries, it has been re-removed. UW Dawgs (talk) 18:04, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, given your userbox I thought you might be interested in helping Carl Malamud's case for the public domain, crucial also for Wikisource: https://boingboing.net/2019/04/25/happy-law-day.html . Best regards, Nemo 21:06, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You recently restored content which was unsourced. You may wish to review WP:BURDEN including 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] with my emphasis. As the content is not sourced and was tagged as such, it has been re-removed. UW Dawgs (talk) 00:04, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. I added a source when I restored it. Thanks! --Kgwo1972 (talk) 22:17, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Citing sources. The "citation" is used in 5 locations (without a page number) to "cite" numerous claims. Clearly these claims are not directly supported. UW Dawgs (talk) 23:37, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm UW Dawgs. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Iowa State Cyclones football, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Specifically, you are repeatedly inserting[2], [3] three unsourced claims:

• It is the eighth-longest active series in NCAA college football
• (102 straight years)
• the longest never-interrupted series in college football history.

These undated (as of when?) claims may or may not be accurate. Again, see WP:BURDEN above, as repeatedly reinserting unsourced content is not a solution. Wiki's Verifiability policy has been brought to your attention in two different Talk sections. UW Dawgs (talk) 17:41, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Kgwo1972: There is a discussion occurring here regarding whether to continue to use the data from College Football Data Warehouse in that list's inclusion criterion for college football national championships, as it has been from the list's inception. Any comments or suggestions you may have would be appreciated. Jeff in CA (talk) 22:02, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
