19** Wisconsin Badgers football team
I've noticed you're creating what appears to be an article for every year of the Badger's football season. While I appreciate that the pages are well done and look polished, I'm not sure we need an article for every season. These articles have no data other than the schedule the team played. I feel like that borders on
Those kinds of statistics and alamantic data are better left on the site you're attributing and presumably getting this data from. The problem with lots of pages like this is that it makes them very hard to maintain and keep accurate; that has to be balanced against their utility. Anyway, I wanted to mention this to you before I nominated any for deletion, if I do so at all. Notwithstanding my opinion about this, the quality is professional and I appreciate that. It's not a reflection on you if in fact the pages are nominated for deletion. Shadowjams (talk) 21:41, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
Standings templates
Kallman1, thanks creating all of the Wisconsin football season stubs. However, you're editing on the standings templates is not good.
- Thanks for your comment on my talk page. Yeah, the history of the naming of the Big Ten Conference seems a little murky. Some more research is definitely needed, but for now let's leave everything be. You might want to bring this up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football to get some more people thinking about this. Also be sure to sign you comments on talk pages with four tildes (~). Thanks and let me know if you have any more questions. Jweiss11 (talk) 00:33, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
- Here's a newspaper article referring to the conference as both the "Big Ten" and the "Western Conference" in 1949: http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WVgaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ICQEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4340,7112444. Jweiss11 (talk) 00:39, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thats pre-Michigan State but its still Big Ten... and Western Conference... I say its good to stick with Big Ten if its known as Big Ten as its clearly the most recognized brand name. But I think pre-1917 should be changed to Western Conference. I like the idea of going with what it was best known as at the time
