WikiProject College football August 2008 Newsletter

The College football WikiProject Newsletter Issue IX - August 2008
Project news There's less than one month until the 2008-2009 college football season kicks off, and that's no reason to stop editing! Plenty of historical articles, such as past bowl games, need to be written, and editors are always needed to update teams' season articles. Break out of the summer malaise and get ready for kickoff — check out the to-do list on the Wikiproject College football talk page. A hearty congratulations should go out to everyone who has elevated an article to Good Article status since January 1. During the past seven months, the project has more than doubled the number of Good Articles! In 2006 and 2007, there were a total of 40 college football GAs. In the first seven months of 2008, we've created 42. Give yourself a pat on the back! For those of you who haven't yet created a college football good article yet, what are you waiting for? At the present rate, there will be more than 120 by year's end. Be a part of something bigger and build a GA-class college football article today! During the past few months, an excellent notability guideline for college football articles has been constructed at Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Notability, but your help is needed to make it complete. In particular, your help is requested in defining what makes a college football player notable — Is it being a multiple year starter at a position? Is it being named the best player at a position? Or is it something as simple as holding a school, conference, or national record? Participate in the debate at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Notability. The College Football Portal needs to be updated with featured articles and pictures. Do you have a great picture that illustrates the best of college football? Consider adding it to the featured image queue on the portal.	From JKBrooks85 Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Wikipedia, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page. I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Wikipedia entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game. Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article.

No Permission

Hi MECU. I noticed that some time ago, you were working on a "no permission" template similar to the one used at Commons. I thought you might like to know that we're now discussing such a proposal here. I stumbled across your template when looking at what already linked to {{Di-no permission}}. --Rlandmann (talk) 01:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:NEPatriots1993.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:NEPatriots1993.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again...

It's me again, making the Arkansas football season pages. I am currently working on 2001 (keeping it in Word until I finish the season) and Arkansas took Ole Miss to seven overtimes. (Just like in this game) However, the Linescore goes only to 6-OT and I do not want to mess the template up trying to expand it. Thanks! Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 16:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

The linescore has a score for the seventh overtime entered as R11/H11, but the template does not display it. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 14:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

	1	2	3	4	OT	2OT	3OT	4OT	5OT	6OT	7OT	Total
Razorbacks	0	7	3	7	7	0	6	6	6	8	8	58
Rebels	7	0	3	7	7	0	6	6	6	8	6	56
