Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article 1915 Vanderbilt Commodores football team has been completed.
One minor point needs clarification. In the section on Auburn you write: "Next was the Auburn game, which McGugin had been pointing to since before the season began." Why did McGugin point to this specific game? Perhaps a word or two of explanation would be helpful.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Cake, appreciate all your editing as allows. Couple small things I want to nag you about. First, watch the categories on those Division III football team navboxes, e.g. Template:Lake Forest Foresters football navbox. Don't forget "football" in Category:NCAA Division III football team navigational boxes. Also, on new articles like 1882 Fordham Rams football team, can try not to forget the basic categories like both "Category:YYYY college football season" and "Category:XXX YYY football seasons"? Thanks, Jweiss11 ( talk) 03:49, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Cake and @ UW Dawgs: I see you've both been working on building out the early Colorado football seasons when they were known as the "Silver and Gold". We've got a bit of a fork brewing between your edits. I'm not sure if it should be "Silver and Gold" or "Silver & Gold", but you can see we have duplicates at Category:Colorado Buffaloes football seasons. Thanks, Jweiss11 ( talk) 03:53, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
It just occurred to me that the page name for the individual is Glenn Scobey Warner, and Pop Warner is a disambiguation page. Per WP:COMMONNAME, shouldn't the page for the individual be named "Pop Warner"? I can't imagine he was ever more well known as Glenn Scobey Warner than he was as Pop Warner. Hell, the NFF lists his given AND his nickname as Pop. Lizard ( talk) 01:50, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Cake! Firstly, thanks for the additional expansion and if there is anything I can help with on getting this, or other Bama articles to GA, please let me know! Haven't been as active lately plodding through old Bama stuff, but am very happy to see someone else take interest in the greatest tradition in all of college football! RTR!!! To your questions, I have no issue with altering the the format of the roster similar to that of the 1922 Vandy assuming you have a reliable source that can be cited for it. Heck, if you have sources for that additional information, please feel free to add it to as many Bama articles as you can!! As for pictures, I do not have any good solutions for this issue as the digital Corolla yearbooks does not include a 1930-31 edition. Patriarca12 ( talk) 22:28, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

I just uploaded all of these to Wikimedia! And have used them in several articles thus far.
The Dahuting Tomb (Chinese: 打虎亭汉墓, Pinyin: Dahuting Han mu) of the late Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD), located in Zhengzhou, Henan province, China, was excavated in 1960-1961 and contains vault-arched burial chambers decorated with murals showing scenes of daily life, with banquet scenes, dancers with musicians playing, court women flaunting their hairstyles, war chariots and cavalry riding to battle, mythological scenes with creatures such as dragons, etc. Pericles of Athens Talk 14:21, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
In regards to one of the woman in the first row, is that a glass cup she's holding? That's interesting, considering how prized Roman glass was in Han China at the time, considered a foreign luxury item. It certainly looks like a shiny, transparent ware of some kind (I can't think of any other material they would have that would fit the bill...I don't think it's jade, either).
Also, you should consider archiving some of the top of the stuff on your talk page here. It takes a good amount of time just to scroll down to the bottom of your talk page! For a working model on how to archive stuff, you could look at my talk page, for instance. Cheers. ;) Pericles of Athens Talk 14:21, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi MisterCake! I've noticed you've been very busy once again with the Hellenistic art page. It's looking great! You've certainly found a lot of excellent images. However, before you proceed further, consider stacking some images in a "multiple image" format, because the body of the article is starting to look rather cluttered. The galleries are fine, but the amount of images wrapped around the paragraphs might become overwhelming if you add any more. The "multiple image" format allows you to neatly stack images in a horizontal row, allowing for more space. It's actually a nifty, convenient tool for showcasing artwork while at the same time avoiding clutter and bombardment of the reader with one giant image after another. Take for instance this mutliple image stack I've recently added to Ancient Greek vase painting. Give it some thought before adding further images. Cheers. Pericles of Athens Talk 05:12, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
Very good points. Feel free to change certain images if you think others should be highlighted instead. I just thought it was vital to show at least one Apulian example among that bunch, to show the variety and geographic dispersion. On another note, check out this multiple image stack in the Archaic Greece article. It's really cool how this is arranged! If you click to edit the page, you can see how this is done. I was only aware that you could do the "perrow" function (i.e. strict number of columns) for the "image array" template found in infoboxes or for galleries like the one we have in Hellenistic art. Apparently you can also do it for the "multiple image" template. See how we have four separate images here, with two stacked on top and two at the bottom? It's really useful! I'm going to have to utilize this in the future. I've been wondering if this was even possible for quite a while now, and here's the answer! You should also consider giving it a try for other articles where it would be desirable to display many images, yet there isn't enough space for stacking all of them given small amounts of text. Pericles of Athens Talk 08:33, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
I love this sort of stuff. In school, people hated doing projects with me because I spent hours just making the PowerPoint presentation look pretty. The "unimportant" parts, they said. It's a good thing Wikipedia is relatively limited in its options when it comes to presentation, because I'd probably never get any work done on actually writing the articles.

Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Dan McGugin has been completed.
I think that the article's structure is fine. It follows his career in chronological order which is the logical way to do it. I did spot check a couple of the citations and discovered some dead links. You'll notice that I've found and archived new ones. I did not check them all, but I suggest that you archive the rest of the URLs when you can. Citation #30 is not formatted correctly - it's simply the bare URL. I tried several times to access the page but for some reason the website is not responding and my connection kept timing out so I could not fix it.
As this article https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2011/10/03/looking-back-dan-mcgugin/ indicates, McGugin was a "lawyer who coached football in his spare time". It has a lot of interesting information on his non-coaching life that could be included: his initial salary, the fact he was a Rotarian and a senator, and died of heart failure two years after retiring that would help round out the article. There's also a great quote by an unidentified Birmingham News sports editor that would be worth including. Have a look.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind regards,

Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article 1922 Vanderbilt Commodores football team has been completed.
I tried to trim as much as was sensible. For the most part I removed details that did not relate directly to a successful TD or punt. I understand the need to convert distances into metric, but converting the yard line numbers just seemed odd to me. The 50-yard line is a physical location on the field. Even if a spectator used metric for distance as they watched a game, the 50-yard line would be the 50-yard line. So, I removed those conversions. I also tried to make the numbering consistent - numbers below ten are expressed in words - I think I got them all - there were a lot!
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi Dr., can you wait with your edits until im done with my editing session so that we don't get into conflict edits? Rybkovich ( talk)
I took it off the page. Didn't touch the pic itself. I am 100% sure that it will not pass the WP:FUC #8 fair use requirement. We have the Pops and his staff pic in the legacy section and I think there is a chance that this will pass (it will be a bloody fight). To even keep one in the Featured Article discussion the trenches have to be dug around one and I think it has to be the staff one. I changed the title adding "staff" to center it on the fair use argument that it is key to convey his coaching legacy. Better word than "staff"? Rybkovich ( talk) 16:15, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Good call on replacing the fair use pick with the valid one from Nevers page. I was considering doing the same thing. My thought of having the Standford team pic in Coaching Legacy because it is a picture of him passing on his wisdom. Which I think will help us editors in our fair use argument during FAC evaluation. The fair use argument is something like it representing the process of players, assistant coaches becoming head coaches. Also we already have a Nevers pic in the stanford section.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
You are invited to participate in the 50,000 Challenge, aiming for 50,000 article improvements and creations for articles relating to the United States. This effort began on November 1, 2016 and to reach our goal, we will need editors like you to participate, expand, and create. See more here! |

Hi Cake! Firstly, thanks for the additional expansion and if there is anything I can help with on getting this, or other Bama articles to GA, please let me know! Haven't been as active lately plodding through old Bama stuff, but am very happy to see someone else take interest in the greatest tradition in all of college football! RTR!!! To your questions, I have no issue with altering the the format of the roster similar to that of the 1922 Vandy assuming you have a reliable source that can be cited for it. Heck, if you have sources for that additional information, please feel free to add it to as many Bama articles as you can!! As for pictures, I do not have any good solutions for this issue as the digital Corolla yearbooks does not include a 1930-31 edition. Patriarca12 ( talk) 22:28, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

I just uploaded all of these to Wikimedia! And have used them in several articles thus far.
The Dahuting Tomb (Chinese: 打虎亭汉墓, Pinyin: Dahuting Han mu) of the late Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD), located in Zhengzhou, Henan province, China, was excavated in 1960-1961 and contains vault-arched burial chambers decorated with murals showing scenes of daily life, with banquet scenes, dancers with musicians playing, court women flaunting their hairstyles, war chariots and cavalry riding to battle, mythological scenes with creatures such as dragons, etc. Pericles of Athens Talk 14:21, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
In regards to one of the woman in the first row, is that a glass cup she's holding? That's interesting, considering how prized Roman glass was in Han China at the time, considered a foreign luxury item. It certainly looks like a shiny, transparent ware of some kind (I can't think of any other material they would have that would fit the bill...I don't think it's jade, either).
Also, you should consider archiving some of the top of the stuff on your talk page here. It takes a good amount of time just to scroll down to the bottom of your talk page! For a working model on how to archive stuff, you could look at my talk page, for instance. Cheers. ;) Pericles of Athens Talk 14:21, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
On 15 October 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pop Warner, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that American football coach Pop Warner's only experience with the game in his youth was using an inflated cow's bladder? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pop Warner. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hi MisterCake! I've noticed you've been very busy once again with the Hellenistic art page. It's looking great! You've certainly found a lot of excellent images. However, before you proceed further, consider stacking some images in a "multiple image" format, because the body of the article is starting to look rather cluttered. The galleries are fine, but the amount of images wrapped around the paragraphs might become overwhelming if you add any more. The "multiple image" format allows you to neatly stack images in a horizontal row, allowing for more space. It's actually a nifty, convenient tool for showcasing artwork while at the same time avoiding clutter and bombardment of the reader with one giant image after another. Take for instance this mutliple image stack I've recently added to Ancient Greek vase painting. Give it some thought before adding further images. Cheers. Pericles of Athens Talk 05:12, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
Very good points. Feel free to change certain images if you think others should be highlighted instead. I just thought it was vital to show at least one Apulian example among that bunch, to show the variety and geographic dispersion. On another note, check out this multiple image stack in the Archaic Greece article. It's really cool how this is arranged! If you click to edit the page, you can see how this is done. I was only aware that you could do the "perrow" function (i.e. strict number of columns) for the "image array" template found in infoboxes or for galleries like the one we have in Hellenistic art. Apparently you can also do it for the "multiple image" template. See how we have four separate images here, with two stacked on top and two at the bottom? It's really useful! I'm going to have to utilize this in the future. I've been wondering if this was even possible for quite a while now, and here's the answer! You should also consider giving it a try for other articles where it would be desirable to display many images, yet there isn't enough space for stacking all of them given small amounts of text. Pericles of Athens Talk 08:33, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
I love this sort of stuff. In school, people hated doing projects with me because I spent hours just making the PowerPoint presentation look pretty. The "unimportant" parts, they said. It's a good thing Wikipedia is relatively limited in its options when it comes to presentation, because I'd probably never get any work done on actually writing the articles.

Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Dan McGugin has been completed.
I think that the article's structure is fine. It follows his career in chronological order which is the logical way to do it. I did spot check a couple of the citations and discovered some dead links. You'll notice that I've found and archived new ones. I did not check them all, but I suggest that you archive the rest of the URLs when you can. Citation #30 is not formatted correctly - it's simply the bare URL. I tried several times to access the page but for some reason the website is not responding and my connection kept timing out so I could not fix it.
As this article https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2011/10/03/looking-back-dan-mcgugin/ indicates, McGugin was a "lawyer who coached football in his spare time". It has a lot of interesting information on his non-coaching life that could be included: his initial salary, the fact he was a Rotarian and a senator, and died of heart failure two years after retiring that would help round out the article. There's also a great quote by an unidentified Birmingham News sports editor that would be worth including. Have a look.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind regards,

Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article 1922 Vanderbilt Commodores football team has been completed.
I tried to trim as much as was sensible. For the most part I removed details that did not relate directly to a successful TD or punt. I understand the need to convert distances into metric, but converting the yard line numbers just seemed odd to me. The 50-yard line is a physical location on the field. Even if a spectator used metric for distance as they watched a game, the 50-yard line would be the 50-yard line. So, I removed those conversions. I also tried to make the numbering consistent - numbers below ten are expressed in words - I think I got them all - there were a lot!
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind regards,

Hi Dr., can you wait with your edits until im done with my editing session so that we don't get into conflict edits? Rybkovich ( talk)
I took it off the page. Didn't touch the pic itself. I am 100% sure that it will not pass the WP:FUC #8 fair use requirement. We have the Pops and his staff pic in the legacy section and I think there is a chance that this will pass (it will be a bloody fight). To even keep one in the Featured Article discussion the trenches have to be dug around one and I think it has to be the staff one. I changed the title adding "staff" to center it on the fair use argument that it is key to convey his coaching legacy. Better word than "staff"? Rybkovich ( talk) 16:15, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Good call on replacing the fair use pick with the valid one from Nevers page. I was considering doing the same thing. My thought of having the Standford team pic in Coaching Legacy because it is a picture of him passing on his wisdom. Which I think will help us editors in our fair use argument during FAC evaluation. The fair use argument is something like it representing the process of players, assistant coaches becoming head coaches. Also we already have a Nevers pic in the stanford section.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
You are invited to participate in the 50,000 Challenge, aiming for 50,000 article improvements and creations for articles relating to the United States. This effort began on November 1, 2016 and to reach our goal, we will need editors like you to participate, expand, and create. See more here! |
