The template which i linked in the heading; you reverted my edit on that template. I have no problems with the format that you put the other templates in, but i just thought that my change made it more aesthetically appealing. Plus not everyone of those coaches is exactly notable.

Stop removing the names of roster players from the template. Just because some of the players were walk-ons or didn't play significant minutes does not mean that their names should not or would not be included on a template. Wikipedia is about providing the best and most information possible, not ignoring or trying to remove information about the players who won't be NBA players. The team is part of history, all the players should be recognized. Demoares ( talk) 07:02, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Since your concern rests in some players not meeting the notability requirements you should have stated that immediately instead of just undoing the edits and leaving the original navbox, which contained individuals who also would not meet notability standards. I have removed those players who do not have a page from the navbox. Demoares ( talk) 05:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
I've noticed that you have begun making templates for the teams that win the Stanley Cup. As a member of WP:HOCKEY, I would have to suggest that it's not really the best thing to get into. We've had several discussions about whether to keep those or not, and the consensus has been to not keep them for hockey. The reason being that they clutter the page, and for multiple winners it just looks terrible. A prime example that is always cited in this case is Henri Richard, a member of the Montreal Canadiens. Richard won the Cup 11 times in his career. Having 11 templates like that would just ruin the page. Any comments you have regarding that would be welcome at the project page, WT:HOCKEY.

Hi MasonP, I see you've added to the Infobox that Gehrig was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee. I don't believe that's correct. According to the HOF article, the Veterans Committee wasn't formed until 1953. It is true that Gehrig was elected to the HOF in 1939 and the 5-yr period was waived, but as I recall from various books on the subject, he was voted by the sportswriters.
Also, the cited reference does not say he was elected by the Veterans Committee.
At the moment, I'm just checking my Watchlist on my Blackberry while waiting for a tow truck (long story), so I can't really look into this further at the moment, but I figured the best course would be to bring this to your attention in the meantime. JGHowes talk - 20:19, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Just something I noticed you doing once or twice and realized you might be unaware of the proper way to disambiguate. When it comes to disambiguating names, its policy to always use the middle name before you use brackets such as (baseball). Anyways just thought I would let you know since I noticed you moving things from the middle name version to the bracket version. Brackets are a last resort if you cannot disambiguate any other way. - Djsasso ( talk) 14:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi MasonP, are you sure that P. J. Brown has the proper spacing? Since December, WP:NCP#Middle names and abbreviated names has said, "Generally, use the most common format of a name", and it no longer mentions spaces after punctuation. — LOL ( talk) 15:57, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I've noticed those inconsistencies. I'm surprised that nobody's been bold enough to make all the changes according to NCP. You're the second person to move the article back to "P. J. Brown" since I moved it to "P.J. Brown" on June 4, so I don't want to be very fussy about it. — LOL ( talk) 16:17, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Done! You should be all set with rollback. Let me know if it is not working, in the event the settings did not take. If you have not yet, take a few minutes to read up on rollback at Wikipedia:Rollback feature. It's not rocket science, but worth a quick look. I saw no red flags in your contributions... if you're willing to brave the politics of the current RfA process, you'd probably have good use for the administrator tools as well.

That whole section about the "consistently outranking Columbia/NYU Law" is preposterous to say the least. To the best of my knowledge it has occurred once in the past decade or so. Also, the statistics it cited were from the July 2005 bar exam. Hardly breaking news. Check out http://www.ilrg.com/rankings/law/ if you would like some updated statistics.

Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, " The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Black ngold29 |

I reverted your edits and restored the category because, since they're on the team's roster, that officially makes them players for that team (if it doesn't, what does?)-Should any of them get traded or released before playing a single game for OKC (highly unlikely), you can remove that category from the page.

Gordon has been elected to the Hall of Fame but will not be a member until he is inducted in the summer. This is comparable to Obama being elected president in November, but he won't actually be president until he is sworn in.

This whole issue was hashed out on Wikipedia when Cal Ripken and Kirby Puckett were voted in.

The Jerold Hoffberger entry is still loaded with inaccuracies and needs to be fixed. Hoffberger and his National Brewing Co. didn't become the Orioles' largest shareholder until 1965. Clarence Miles held total control of the team in its first two years. He was replaced by James Keelty Jr. as president and Joseph Iglehart as chairman of the board. Lee MacPhail later succeeded Keelty. Iglehart actually held the largest stake in the franchise before his departure in 1965. All of these facts are detailed in The Baseball Business by James Edward Miller. Read more about this book here, and here.
Even though Hoffberger was the greatest franchise owner in the history of professional sports, mentioning one person's name multiple times in a template is redundant and visually awkward. The Ink Daddy! ( talk) 00:04, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
At first I was against the overlinking, but I later read the following sentence in WP:MOSLINK: "Link only the first occurrence of an item. A link that had last appeared much earlier in the article may be repeated, but generally not in the same section. (Table entries are an exception to this; each row of a table should be able to stand on its own.)" The bracket is technically a table, so the overlinking should be okay in this sense.

Hey, I noticed you were the creator of the NCAA DII tournament pages. Keep up the good work! I am trying to get pages for the NAIA tournaments. I'm generally done with 1938-1959, and 2000-present. Any ideas for me? I'd like to do some table with teams by berth add something more information than just a bracket. But it is pretty time consuming. At this point I have a basic frame for all 1960s lined up. If you have any suggestions, tips or tricks to make it easier, let me know. The sources and everything should all be on there. I'm trying to make it consistent all throughout the years. Also I add a portal link for your discussion tabs.

Hi ... can you please give us some guidance as to your thoughts on the issue discussed at [1]?
In short, I input a sentence that pitcher x was leading the league in wins. That is mentioned in more than one article, and in fact the focus of at least one -- as reflected by its title.
A fellow editor believes the sentence should be deleted now. I am happy with it being deleted when out of date, but believe that deletion is not mandated now.

I understand your point, but even if I accept that my title can cause as much confusion as yours did, I'm not sure that trading confusions is the solution. Perhaps there's a compromise? "Milwaukee Brewers (American Association) players" isn't an option, because there were of course two teams with that name.

I've been thinking about your new section on my discussion page and I thought in some ways it is correct, but I honestly enjoy editing and updating the stats as it is being done even if it takes me 30 or 40 edits to do it. It would be much less work to do it all at once (for example, at the end of the day), but I still enjoy updating at the time a strikeout or home run is recorded. I just wanted to tell you my opinion.
Hi I've seen you undo my edits on the List of Major League Baseball leaders in career wins and I thought of a way to peacefully settle this conflict. I will leave it to you to edit the all-time wins list and the all-time saves list, and you leave me to edit the usual articles i do like the all time homer list, all time hits list, and all time strikeouts list. I think this should help until other problems arise. What do you think? Thanks. Jonathansuh ( talk) 04:20, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I imagine an effort to pare down sports templates is an extensive one. However, if you want to be consistent about redundant templates, in addition to athletic team and coaches templates, templates such as retired numbers templates should be removed. You may want to consider nominating templates such as Template:Wolverines Football Retired Numbers, which I modeled off of another similar template. There is probably a bunch of these and there should probably be a group TFD.-- 76.193.20.156 ( talk) 13:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I really don't know how to use WP. I think this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_100_Major_League_Baseball_strikeout_pitchers should add another section. Most strikeouts is not the perfect barometer for the best strikeout pitcher. In my opinion K/9, K/BB, and K per 27 atbats would be a better indicator of true strikeout dominance.

Hi, I noticed that you updated the ASC wiki several times recently and was wondering if you had time and inclination to help me get started with editing this entry. There is a lack of references in several places. I have a relative that attends the school, so I have an interest in the subject matter.
This is my first attempt to do anything in wikipedia, so I don't even know where the bathroom is yet. I thought I might try making one example citation to get started. If I got the hang of it, I would continue to add the missing citations until the problems were cleared up.
Example
I have the book, A Full and Rich Measure - 100 Years of Educating Women at Agnes Scott College, 1889-1989. On page 6 is this sentence, "In 1907, the Southern Association awarded full accreditation, and the eighteen-year-old school in Decatur became the first accredited college or university in Georgia." This could be the citation for the middle paragraph of the ASC History section. (The middle paragraph should be rewritten slightly to more fully coincide with this reference.)
Question I like the way the Reference section is done in the Jane Austen wiki. Would it be ok to change the Agnes Scott Reference section along those lines? i.e. Citation No/Book Name, copyright, etc/Page No.
Concern I hesitate because I read in one of the Wikipedia getting-started pages that footnotes should be added in the style of the existing article. But this existing ASC article is deficient in that regard. So, is it ok to change the style?

Hi. I've seen you editing the List of Major League Baseball leaders in career stolen bases. This is kind of weird because there also is a List of Major League Baseball players with 300 stolen bases. Which one should we go by? Isn't there something that lets us make 2 articles into 1? What do you think? Jonathansuh ( talk) 21:55, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi I saw that you renamed and greatly expanded the List of Major League Baseball leaders in career ERA. I do not mean to offend you, but I want to ask that when the 2010 baseball season comes, stats are updated as games go, not after each day. The only reason I ask you this favor is because I created this article, now I'm not saying I own this article but I was the creator and I'd like to keep it the way it's been running. Thanks.

Hi, nice work on the baseball items I've come across. Just did a edit sweep on the Bill Dickey article (Hall of Fame mention to stand-alone second graph, created sections for the page, etc.) and removed a paragraph (See discussion page). Would you mind taking a look at it for accuracy etc. Thanks. Another item, I've noticed quite a few Hall of Fame pages have no photos, even as major as Ford and Paige--maybe a group of baseball editors can list the pages without photos in one place to be worked on.

I think that the 2,007 hits should be there but not the stolen bases. 234 stolen bases over a 19 year career is not notable. Stolen bases should be in the infobox only if they were known for stolen bases in their career and have a high total.-- Yankees10 21:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
I don't know if I agree that they had to be on the postseason roster. Nady and Wang weren't left off by choice, as were players like Edwar, Albaladejo, and others. Nady and Wang were honored in the parade specifically, while others who were left off by choice weren't at the parade.

verifiability, all biographies should be based on
reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 17:46, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

We seem to have a bit of an issue. According to email correspondence from the Benswanger family, he was never an owner.

Mason, I noticed you created a new template for NCAA Division II basketball tournaments. Not bad, but I noticed one change that needs to be made.
Unlike the D-I and D-III tournaments, in which four teams advance to the final site, the D-II tournaments for both men and women have eight teams reaching the finals site. The NCAA doesn't even use "Final Four" to describe the semifinals—but does use (and has trademarked) "Elite Eight" to describe its D-II final rounds.

Hi Masonpatriot,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Category:Dallas-Fort Worth Rangers players has been nominated for merging to Category:Dallas Rangers players. Please see WP:CFDS.– Fayenatic London 22:57, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello.
Isn't it customary to suppress the categories on pages like User:Masonpatriot/Working page 2? It's showing up on several categories.
Normally it is done by adding a front colon like this in markup [[:Category:Lists of schools in Connecticut]]
which renders as
Category:Lists of schools in Connecticut, and disables the function. However, any sorting key then has to be punted in favor of proper display, which is maybe why you (intentionally?) broke the category markup on another
subpage of yours...
...so you probably already know all of this :)

Stop removing the names of roster players from the template. Just because some of the players were walk-ons or didn't play significant minutes does not mean that their names should not or would not be included on a template. Wikipedia is about providing the best and most information possible, not ignoring or trying to remove information about the players who won't be NBA players. The team is part of history, all the players should be recognized. Demoares ( talk) 07:02, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Since your concern rests in some players not meeting the notability requirements you should have stated that immediately instead of just undoing the edits and leaving the original navbox, which contained individuals who also would not meet notability standards. I have removed those players who do not have a page from the navbox. Demoares ( talk) 05:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
I've noticed that you have begun making templates for the teams that win the Stanley Cup. As a member of WP:HOCKEY, I would have to suggest that it's not really the best thing to get into. We've had several discussions about whether to keep those or not, and the consensus has been to not keep them for hockey. The reason being that they clutter the page, and for multiple winners it just looks terrible. A prime example that is always cited in this case is Henri Richard, a member of the Montreal Canadiens. Richard won the Cup 11 times in his career. Having 11 templates like that would just ruin the page. Any comments you have regarding that would be welcome at the project page, WT:HOCKEY.

Hi MasonP, I see you've added to the Infobox that Gehrig was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee. I don't believe that's correct. According to the HOF article, the Veterans Committee wasn't formed until 1953. It is true that Gehrig was elected to the HOF in 1939 and the 5-yr period was waived, but as I recall from various books on the subject, he was voted by the sportswriters.
Also, the cited reference does not say he was elected by the Veterans Committee.
At the moment, I'm just checking my Watchlist on my Blackberry while waiting for a tow truck (long story), so I can't really look into this further at the moment, but I figured the best course would be to bring this to your attention in the meantime. JGHowes talk - 20:19, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Just something I noticed you doing once or twice and realized you might be unaware of the proper way to disambiguate. When it comes to disambiguating names, its policy to always use the middle name before you use brackets such as (baseball). Anyways just thought I would let you know since I noticed you moving things from the middle name version to the bracket version. Brackets are a last resort if you cannot disambiguate any other way. - Djsasso ( talk) 14:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi MasonP, are you sure that P. J. Brown has the proper spacing? Since December, WP:NCP#Middle names and abbreviated names has said, "Generally, use the most common format of a name", and it no longer mentions spaces after punctuation. — LOL ( talk) 15:57, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I've noticed those inconsistencies. I'm surprised that nobody's been bold enough to make all the changes according to NCP. You're the second person to move the article back to "P. J. Brown" since I moved it to "P.J. Brown" on June 4, so I don't want to be very fussy about it. — LOL ( talk) 16:17, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Done! You should be all set with rollback. Let me know if it is not working, in the event the settings did not take. If you have not yet, take a few minutes to read up on rollback at Wikipedia:Rollback feature. It's not rocket science, but worth a quick look. I saw no red flags in your contributions... if you're willing to brave the politics of the current RfA process, you'd probably have good use for the administrator tools as well.

That whole section about the "consistently outranking Columbia/NYU Law" is preposterous to say the least. To the best of my knowledge it has occurred once in the past decade or so. Also, the statistics it cited were from the July 2005 bar exam. Hardly breaking news. Check out http://www.ilrg.com/rankings/law/ if you would like some updated statistics.

Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, " The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Black ngold29 |

You recently undid a change to the Super Bowl 43 template. I feel that the change may be valuable to the template. I've added a note to the template's talk page to discuss. Please share your opinion there. Thanks.-- Deejayk ( talk) 00:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
The Jerold Hoffberger entry is still loaded with inaccuracies and needs to be fixed. Hoffberger and his National Brewing Co. didn't become the Orioles' largest shareholder until 1965. Clarence Miles held total control of the team in its first two years. He was replaced by James Keelty Jr. as president and Joseph Iglehart as chairman of the board. Lee MacPhail later succeeded Keelty. Iglehart actually held the largest stake in the franchise before his departure in 1965. All of these facts are detailed in The Baseball Business by James Edward Miller. Read more about this book here, and here.
Even though Hoffberger was the greatest franchise owner in the history of professional sports, mentioning one person's name multiple times in a template is redundant and visually awkward. The Ink Daddy! ( talk) 00:04, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
At first I was against the overlinking, but I later read the following sentence in WP:MOSLINK: "Link only the first occurrence of an item. A link that had last appeared much earlier in the article may be repeated, but generally not in the same section. (Table entries are an exception to this; each row of a table should be able to stand on its own.)" The bracket is technically a table, so the overlinking should be okay in this sense. What do you think? BlueAg09 ( Talk) 01:13, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed you were the creator of the NCAA DII tournament pages. Keep up the good work! I am trying to get pages for the NAIA tournaments. I'm generally done with 1938-1959, and 2000-present. Any ideas for me? I'd like to do some table with teams by berth add something more information than just a bracket. But it is pretty time consuming. At this point I have a basic frame for all 1960s lined up. If you have any suggestions, tips or tricks to make it easier, let me know. The sources and everything should all be on there. I'm trying to make it consistent all throughout the years. Also I add a portal link for your discussion tabs. (WikiProject College basketball|class=start|importance=mid) And if you could kindly, or maybe I will if you don't mind me adding it to the DII pages, a like the the respective year in the See also section. like 1959 NAIA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament thanks again!

The box is called 1996 World Series champions, not roster. Each of the players added have 1996 World Series rings (Example: Dwight Gooden and Pat Kelly), and while maybe not on the World Series roster, they nonetheless played a factor on the 1996 team.

Hi ... can you please give us some guidance as to your thoughts on the issue discussed at [1]?
In short, I input a sentence that pitcher x was leading the league in wins. That is mentioned in more than one article, and in fact the focus of at least one -- as reflected by its title.
A fellow editor believes the sentence should be deleted now. I am happy with it being deleted when out of date, but believe that deletion is not mandated now. Analagous to our having stats in infoboxes, that turn sour with time (and are replaced, in time). Many thanks.-- Ethelh ( talk) 01:47, 12 June 2009 (UTC).-- Ethelh ( talk) 00:32, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
I understand your point, but even if I accept that my title can cause as much confusion as yours did, I'm not sure that trading confusions is the solution. Perhaps there's a compromise? "Milwaukee Brewers (American Association) players" isn't an option, because there were of course two teams with that name. If that's not an option, and neither my name nor yours can accurately describe the team without potentially confusing somebody, what other options do you see?

Hi Masonpatriot/Archive 2,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in
United States legal articles to take a look at
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.
What you can do now:
Regards, Andrew Gradman talk/ WP:Hornbook 20:43, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
I've been thinking about your new section on my discussion page and I thought in some ways it is correct, but I honestly enjoy editing and updating the stats as it is being done even if it takes me 30 or 40 edits to do it. It would be much less work to do it all at once (for example, at the end of the day), but I still enjoy updating at the time a strikeout or home run is recorded. I just wanted to tell you my opinion.
Hi I've seen you undo my edits on the List of Major League Baseball leaders in career wins and I thought of a way to peacefully settle this conflict. I will leave it to you to edit the all-time wins list and the all-time saves list, and you leave me to edit the usual articles i do like the all time homer list, all time hits list, and all time strikeouts list. I think this should help until other problems arise. What do you think? Thanks. Jonathansuh ( talk) 04:20, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I imagine an effort to pare down sports templates is an extensive one. However, if you want to be consistent about redundant templates, in addition to athletic team and coaches templates, templates such as retired numbers templates should be removed. You may want to consider nominating templates such as Template:Wolverines Football Retired Numbers, which I modeled off of another similar template. There is probably a bunch of these and there should probably be a group TFD.-- 76.193.20.156 ( talk) 13:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Regarding this edit:
Your good faith edit to Syracuse University as seen here mistakenly corrected Brethen to Brethren. In this case Brethen is a name and is correctly rendered, see here.

How did you get a job editing for Wikipedia - Is it a full-time position? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MedailleOne ( talk • contribs) 02:42, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
I really don't know how to use WP. I think this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_100_Major_League_Baseball_strikeout_pitchers should add another section. Most strikeouts is not the perfect barometer for the best strikeout pitcher. In my opinion K/9, K/BB, and K per 27 atbats would be a better indicator of true strikeout dominance.

Hi, I noticed that you updated the ASC wiki several times recently and was wondering if you had time and inclination to help me get started with editing this entry. There is a lack of references in several places. I have a relative that attends the school, so I have an interest in the subject matter.
This is my first attempt to do anything in wikipedia, so I don't even know where the bathroom is yet. I thought I might try making one example citation to get started. If I got the hang of it, I would continue to add the missing citations until the problems were cleared up.
Example
I have the book, A Full and Rich Measure - 100 Years of Educating Women at Agnes Scott College, 1889-1989. On page 6 is this sentence, "In 1907, the Southern Association awarded full accreditation, and the eighteen-year-old school in Decatur became the first accredited college or university in Georgia." This could be the citation for the middle paragraph of the ASC History section. (The middle paragraph should be rewritten slightly to more fully coincide with this reference.)
Question I like the way the Reference section is done in the Jane Austen wiki. Would it be ok to change the Agnes Scott Reference section along those lines? i.e. Citation No/Book Name, copyright, etc/Page No.
Concern I hesitate because I read in one of the Wikipedia getting-started pages that footnotes should be added in the style of the existing article. But this existing ASC article is deficient in that regard. So, is it ok to change the style?

Mason, I noticed you created a new template for NCAA Division II basketball tournaments. Not bad, but I noticed one change that needs to be made.
Unlike the D-I and D-III tournaments, in which four teams advance to the final site, the D-II tournaments for both men and women have eight teams reaching the finals site. The NCAA doesn't even use "Final Four" to describe the semifinals—but does use (and has trademarked) "Elite Eight" to describe its D-II final rounds.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jule Rivlin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Basketball League ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

If the team name and team link are the same, you don't need to use the "team_link" field. It's for when the display name and link are different (like showing "Galatasaray S.K." When the link to the right article is "Galatasaray S.K. (men's basketball)") Rikster2 ( talk) 03:11, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Masonpatriot,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello.
Isn't it customary to suppress the categories on pages like User:Masonpatriot/Working page 2? It's showing up on several categories.
Normally it is done by adding a front colon like this in markup [[:Category:Lists of schools in Connecticut]]
which renders as
Category:Lists of schools in Connecticut, and disables the function. However, any sorting key then has to be punted in favor of proper display, which is maybe why you (intentionally?) broke the category markup on another
subpage of yours...
...so you probably already know all of this :)
Thank you for your time. -- DB1729 ( talk) 04:12, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
