STOP the vandalism
I understand your enthusiasm for UNC, but you WILL stop vandalizing the UVA basketball article. Whether you like it or not, there is no such thing as a tiebreaker for the mythical regular-season championship. Perhaps our loss will convince you to find somewhere else to go play. 1995hoo 03:09, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- You posted this to my talk: "I am NOT vandalizing the UVA basketball page. I fixed incorrect information, that's all. I hate UNC. UVA is not regular season ACC champ. I am a big Cavs fan. Let me explain something. The regular season title is unofficial and is only meant to determine the #1 seed in the ACC tourney. They can't have two #1 seeds. So a tiebreaker comes into effect to determine the 1 seed and thus the regular season champion. This year it is UNC which, sadly during the regular season, beat UVA."
- I will take you at your word, but you're wrong. The tiebreaker doesn't apply to a "regular season title," which, as you note, is indeed unofficial. The tiebreaker applies ONLY to the seeding, and the schools that finished tied for first (this year, UVA and UNC) can both claim to be "co-champions." The ACC's media guide bears this out. I cannot link you directly to the source, but please take a look at the second page of the PDF linked here: [1] If that link doesn't work, then go here [2] and click the "Pages 77-103" link and go to the second page. This is the ACC's media guide for the season that ends tomorrow. Look at the second column on the page I reference and take note of 1956, 1959, 1960, 1979, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1995, and 2001. In particular, note 1995, where four teams (including UVA) finished 12-4 and were "regular season co-champions." The ACC have always been pansies about breaking ties in any sport; consider the 1989 and 1995 UVA football teams, both of whom beat the teams tied with them in the standings (Duke and FSU, respectively), but both of whom were deemed "co-champions" by the league, to the point where the ACC allowed the Bowl Alliance to take FSU over UVA in 1995 because there was no tiebreaker. If your argument were correct, then only one school would be listed in the media guide column I reference. (While it is an unofficial thing, any time a team picked to finish 8th ends up tied for 1st it's a notable achievement.) 1995hoo 15:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Looks like you are off to a fine start. Election results boxes have already been done for districts 39, 40, 43, 44, 45, 46 and 47. Feel free to use them. I plan on doing boxes for Prince Georges County over the next three weeks. You can also link them to the current members of house of delegates list, or I can as you complete them. There is also a page (uncompleted) of 2006 election results. that page is linked to the districts mentioned above. Marylandstater 04:06, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Bulawayo South Feedback
Hi, you asked for feedback on the Bulawayo South Consituency, so here are my opinions. The actual content is great. You have clearly done a lot of research into the elections and their results. Looking at other constituencies such as South Norfolk could we include a piece about the boundaries to complement the map. However, the map isnt visible in the article, only when you click on it. I can't seem to fix it though. I shall make a navigation template to swap between different constituencies, as seen in the Australian Constituencies and I will also include Infoboxes in the articles as you make them should you wish to spread the work load. But otherwise, I think that you have done a great job and keep it up. Thanks for your help. Mangwanani 10:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Bulawayo South Feedback
Great work on the article,but it seems to border on the Member of Parliament,David Coltart.Is this about the constituency or the MP? mangqina-Mazondo 04:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Just had another look at it and I do realise what I had done. That was actually the first Infobox I made and trying to work out the syntax completely threw me and so it didnt come out as well as wished. Never mind, others can change where required. The main point is that we have one now for future articles. Mangwanani 10:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Notice to all members of WikiProject Maryland
There are a few things going on right now in
- Not too long ago, participants list. You have until the end of November 17, 2007to do so, sometime after that, all the names that do not have an asterisk will be removed. This is just to clean up the ever expanding list. If you've been gone and come back to find that you've been removed from the list, don't take it personally, just re-add yourself! I won't feel bad at all if no one gets removed, in fact, it would be nice if all 30 members still consider themselves active. Also, this won't affect the two subprojects, but speaking of the subprojects...
- As of sometime next week WikiProject Baltimore City College will be no more. Myself, Golem88991, and John Carter have decided to make it into a task force of WikiProject Maryland. If you have any objections, concerns, or comments, please post them in the talk page topic concerning this.
Now for the exiting news:
- I'm pleased to announce the creation of the Baltimore Task Force! Those interested in contributing to Wikipedia's numerous articles related to Maryland's largest city, now have a place to collaborate.
- I'd also like to take this time to propose a project newsletter. Any comments should be directed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maryland#Newsletter.
A couple last things:
- The portal is in desperate need of maintenance, anyone who's interested, go check it out.
- It's probably a good idea to add the project page (and thus the project talk page) to your watchlist. That way, you can easily see when new comments are posted.
I hope you read through all that ;). Thanks to all members for your contributions to the project's articles so far, let's keep up the good work!

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Disambiguation link notification for April 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2015–16 Maryland Terrapins men's basketball team, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dominican High School. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Incorporation of edits on Southern Methodist University article
Hello! Thank you for your recent edits to the Southern Methodist University article. While you made those edits, I was working on restructuring the article in my sandbox based on a version from about a week ago.
