Hi Daino, you are my resident template expert ... there is a major problem at Template:2008 Big Ten football standings such that it is causing results such as those at 2008 Penn State Nittany Lions football team and 2008 Ohio State Buckeyes football team ...

Dainomite, my Eagles just signed Alejandro Villanueva, an Army Ranger who has served three tours in Afghanistan. I created an article about him (at the prior link), and was hoping you would be able to help me sift through his numerous commendations for meritorious service and compile them into an infobox. They are listed in the Eagles' press release, which is the article's first reference. Thank you in advance! By the way, this is a slam dunk DYK, and I would be more than happy to share credit with you if you can help me with this. Thanks again! Go Phightins ! 21:51, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
QPQ = quid pro quo - once you have I think it's 5 DYKs, you have to do a QPQ review to help reduce the backlog. Anyway, I know little about any of the players the Eagles drafted; I did not spend much time at all learning about draft prospects this year for several reasons, not the least of which was an engaging book I was reading, but I digress. Anyway, off to bed for me - 8 AM church tomorrow comes earlier than I would like at times, but I suppose there are few better things to wake up early for :-) Do you follow an NFL team?

Hey!! thanks a lot, I appreciate it :) I haven't changed mine in a month or so. Mine alternates between this teal color and yellow every 24 hrs though :) It used to switch between dark blue and dark orange for the "dain" font color but as was pointed out to me, the contrast between the font color and black background wasn't color-blind compliant ( WP:COLOR) so I changed it to these colors.

Hello, I had created a page for Wisconsin Badgers basketball star Nigel Hayes and now it has been proposed for deletion because it does not have enough sources. If there is anything you can help to make the page more notable, it would be much appreciated. Thank you. GO BADGERS!!! Destiny7awaits ( talk) 02:11, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
If the odds are "Wisconsin -4.5", that means that Wisconsin is favored to win, and the "point spread" is 4.5 points. So if you went to a sports betting place in Las Vegas and bet on Wisconsin, you would win the bet if Wisconsin won the game by five points or more; if Wisconsin lost, tied, or won by four points or less, they would not "cover the spread" and you would lose the bet. To say the same thing a different way, the odds makers think that Wisconsin will win by four and a half points -- or to put it more precisely, they think that's the outcome with the median probability. Of course there are no half points in football, but they usually do it with half points so that the bettor either wins or loses.

Hey Dainomite, If you are in the business of new signature design, I could probably use a new one; my current one has been in use for a long time now. If not, it will still work, but I would appreciate your creative and technical skill if you don't mind. Go Phightins ! 22:11, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
@ Go Phightins!: Alrighty, I tinkered around a bit this morning and made a couple signature variations for you that you can see at User:Dainomite/sandbox#For GoPhightins sig. Would you mind telling me what you think so far and let me know if you like any or would like me to tweak any to get more desirable results? Regards, — dain omite 13:32, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
My signature situation is a little bit different from those above. I'd like to know how to design my signature to alternate, so that it changes from post to post with several different variations. Is this something you can help me with? Northern Antarctica ( ₵) 02:50, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Dainomite, my Eagles just signed Alejandro Villanueva, an Army Ranger who has served three tours in Afghanistan. I created an article about him (at the prior link), and was hoping you would be able to help me sift through his numerous commendations for meritorious service and compile them into an infobox. They are listed in the Eagles' press release, which is the article's first reference. Thank you in advance! By the way, this is a slam dunk DYK, and I would be more than happy to share credit with you if you can help me with this. Thanks again! Go Phightins ! 21:51, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
QPQ = quid pro quo - once you have I think it's 5 DYKs, you have to do a QPQ review to help reduce the backlog. Anyway, I know little about any of the players the Eagles drafted; I did not spend much time at all learning about draft prospects this year for several reasons, not the least of which was an engaging book I was reading, but I digress. Anyway, off to bed for me - 8 AM church tomorrow comes earlier than I would like at times, but I suppose there are few better things to wake up early for :-) Do you follow an NFL team?

Hi Dainomite, since you seem the go to person regarding signatures... Would it be possible for me to have a signature that alternated every 24 hours (as yours does) between two colour schemes? Thanks, Mat ty. 007 16:15, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
@
Matty.007: Sorry for the huge delay matt, RL has been crazy lately. I made your signature subpage so all you have to do is go to your preferences and for "signature" put {{SUBST:User:Matty.007/signature}}
. Anywho, I hope you like it and if you ever need help tweaking it or anything feel free to drop me a line.

This alternating signature looks very complicated, thanks again for the help! (Have you changed yours?) Thanks again, and all the best, Mat ty. 007 18:15, 21 July 2014 (UTC) |
Hey!! thanks a lot, I appreciate it :) I haven't changed mine in a month or so. Mine alternates between this teal color and yellow every 24 hrs though :) It used to switch between dark blue and dark orange for the "dain" font color but as was pointed out to me, the contrast between the font color and black background wasn't color-blind compliant ( WP:COLOR) so I changed it to these colors. Thanks again Matty! — dain omite 18:59, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I had created a page for Wisconsin Badgers basketball star Nigel Hayes and now it has been proposed for deletion because it does not have enough sources. If there is anything you can help to make the page more notable, it would be much appreciated. Thank you. GO BADGERS!!! Destiny7awaits ( talk) 02:11, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
If the odds are "Wisconsin -4.5", that means that Wisconsin is favored to win, and the "point spread" is 4.5 points. So if you went to a sports betting place in Las Vegas and bet on Wisconsin, you would win the bet if Wisconsin won the game by five points or more; if Wisconsin lost, tied, or won by four points or less, they would not "cover the spread" and you would lose the bet. To say the same thing a different way, the odds makers think that Wisconsin will win by four and a half points -- or to put it more precisely, they think that's the outcome with the median probability. Of course there are no half points in football, but they usually do it with half points so that the bettor either wins or loses.

Dainomite, I'd like to get your opinion on this revised infobox template for college football players: [1]. After determining what data points to include, we'll recruit a template editor to handle the coding for us. Once we determine what fields we're adding and what we're deleting, then we'll work on the modified graphics. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 06:34, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
