Featured articlesFront Page Feature The Wikipedia main page featured William Wurtenburg on December 24, 2015. This was an article I originally created on June 16, 2008. Thanks to all Wikipedia editors including @ A Texas Historian:, @ Jweiss11:, and others who also helped improve it. The article as it exists now looks so much better than what I made. I created the original article on June 16, 2008 as a part of a campaign to complete articles for every head football coach for United States Naval Academy. Coach Wurtenburg was head coach for the 1894 season and led the team to a record of 4 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. Their only loss that year was to Pennsylvania who ended the season as undefeated national champions. As you can tell by visiting the article page now, it has been greatly enhanced to include his coaching at Dartmouth and his time as a player at Yale where he was a part of the 1887 National Championship team, finishing with a record of 9 wins and 0 losses. After coaching, he became an official for college football. Around 1904, Wurtenburg began pursuing a career as a physician. He set up a medical office near his house in New Haven, Connecticut, and became an ear, nose and throat specialist where he lived until his death in 1957. It's truly rewarding to see an article that I started end up on the Wikipedia main page! Woo-hoo!!! Media of the DayA video I posted was declared Wikimedia's "Media of the Day" on September 17, 2015. Watch closely as the cheese monger at Whole Foods Market in Overland Park, Kansas cracks open a wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on March 9, 2013 (part of a 2013 world record attempt by Whole Foods Market). I recorded this video on March 9, 2013 and posted it the next day. It was a recording of one location where Whole Foods Market was attempting (and I believe succeeded) in setting a world record for the most number of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese at the same time. They were attempting this feat by using multiple stores and locations across their service footprint. The best part was that we all got to sample!

Previous project proposalCollege Football The 2010 Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference football season competes in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) for the 2010 football season. The season begins on August 28, 2010 at 7:00 pm when the Ottawa University Braves challenge state-rival Baker University in the College Fanz First Down Classic game. [1] Confernece rules require each team to play all other teams within the conference and then one other regular season non-conference game for a total of 10 games (beginning in 2011, the conference will allow schools to play 11 games). [2] Ottawa was declared the 2009 KCAC Champions with an undefeated regular season record. The 2010 season begins with three teams nationally ranked in the NAIA: Ottawa (8th), McPherson (12th), and Friends (15th). [3] Kansas Jamestown is a city in Cloud County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 286. [4] It was founded in 1878 and incorporated as a city in 1883. [5] In 1911 the entire downtown business district was destroyed by a fire. Few records remain of that fire, but the townspeople subsequently rebuilt the downtown commercial district. [6] History repeated itself on January 28, 2000 when another fire consumed several buildings on Main Street and spread to the city hall. The fire chief and small group of volunteer firefighters worked nearly 24 hours without sleep to contain the fire. And again, history repeated itself as the town rebuilt. Mayor Judy Hill stated, "A fire like that can destroy a small town, but instead it ignited a community spirit here." In a few days, Jamestown was having town meetings to make plans for the future. [7] Today, Jamestown has a new community center with daycare facilities and a thriving downtown activities center with a health clinic, public library, and several businesses. [7] Other fun stuffLlewellyn Watts III (1922–2003) was a baseball player and coach in the United States. He played professionally as a pitcher for the St. Louis Browns organization and wrote a book titled The Fine Art of Baseball that was published in 1964. Watts completed two seasons of play in the minor leagues before pitching for the Browns. He later became a baseball coach, and teacher. He was coach and mentor to Major League players Erik Hanson and Brian Meyer. Before playing baseball professionally, Watts served aboard the USS Rich (DE-695) during World War II for the United States Navy. ( Full article...) Collaborate...Jock Sanders (born Jockée Kevin Sanders; 1988 in St. Petersburg, Florida) is an American football receiver and running back for the West Virginia Mountaineers. Sanders was given three and two stars by different recruiting sites while being recruited by West Virginia, Florida, Ohio State, UCF, Bowling Green University, and South Florida as an athlete. Sanders eventually committed to West Virginia University after a December 2, 2006 visit. Successfully moved to mainspace. Read Jock Sanders. Selected picture.JPG)
