Hi. You created {{

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

Greetings

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]

Del Close

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]

Kansas River

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!

re: Category:Date of birth missing

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]

Asking for help on WiKUpedia project

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]

WP:Hornbook
-- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Kgwo1972,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in

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.

  • 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
Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants
.
2. If you're a law student,
(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.

Kansas major league teams

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

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

OK, works for me (I was thinking of soccer). Thanks for the note and the compliment! -Kgwo1972 (talk) 19:01, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Big 12 WikiProject

Hi, I've noticed you've been involved in editing

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
