I disagree with you concerning the 'Division I Champions by Conference (Current Alignment)' section that I added to the College World Series Page. Your comment was 'attempt at bolstering PAC 12 perception of total titles. There is no "overall" vs "current" and the attempt alone is ambiguous.)' If you click into my links for each conference, the integrity of the data is supported. Your links do not have this integrity. Please reconsider.
I understand not updating the College World Series page until the Super Regionals are over, but I was merely deleting a duplicate version of Indiana that someone else had already posted. So, that's fine to wait to delete that, but shouldn't all the versions of Indiana be deleted at this time then?

With regard to the CollegeGameday entry ... seriously, you changed my color scheme? Dude, it's 2012; are you still caught up with the notion that pink hues being a "girl's" color? My use of magenta was not a slight to the SEC. I was merely going for bold colors that would stand out. Belmontian37 ( talk) 01:52, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
To explain why I reverted your recent deletion, please note that GarnetAndBlack and I reached a consensus to keep the number of notable games balanced to be equal wins between the two teams plus the results of the most recent game each year. This agreement was to maintain an impartiality in the notable games section.-- LesPhilky ( talk) 19:49, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
I was thinking of adding section to the rivalry page on the recent banterings between Swinney and Spurrier since it has brought new energy and fire to the rivalry. How do you feel about this?-- LesPhilky ( talk) 18:23, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I looked at the last IP edit to this page and I think its ok actually. If two conferences are tied for third, the next one would be fifth, not fourth. Let me know what you think. Billcasey905 ( talk) 13:55, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Hey man. Just thought I'd let you know before I revert, it is actually officially named Historic Riggs Field by Clemson. In fact, the physical mailing address lists it as Historic Riggs Field. Here's some more info on it: Historic Riggs Field. -- LesPhilky ( talk) 04:40, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Hey, just wanted to give you a shout that I've made a suggestion on the Georgia-South Carolina football rivalry talk page and would appreciate your insight, since you've been one of the more heavily-involved editors on that article. Thanks! GRUcrule ( talk) 14:09, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The material you added on Weinstein's comments on gun control and health care are already covered--and better summarized--in the paragraph directly above the one you added, and it even cites the exact same source you did.
In addition, Wikipedia content needs to be written in language that is both formal and neutral. Any language that constitutes an opinion or viewpoint should be explicitly attributed to the reliable source that is cited to support it, and not presented in Wikipedia's voice as if it is fact, as you did with the phrases "botched" (which is slang, and conveys a viewpoint), and "roll-out" (which is slang).
Also, there is no indication in the cited sources that Weinstein's comments have generated a "controversy". Care must be taken to make sure that sources in question support the material you add to articles.
Lastly, this is just a minor point, but spaces are not placed in front of citations, as indicated by WP:PAIC.
If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream ( talk) 23:40, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
I'm trying to find a list of all OT games in Division I FBS history, and I came across the article NCAA football overtime records. In the notes, you put this link: http://www.cfbtrivia.com/cfbt_records.php?fry=1800&thy=2013&ot=on&sortby=GP&cres=1 , and said it led to a list of all OT games. Well, the site this link goes to seems to be dead, because it has no information that I can find. Anyway, do you have any idea where I could find this info, or maybe you could explain how to use this site? Kobra98 ( talk) 06:58, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
There's currently an ongoing discussion on the Talk page over the history section of the Carolina-Clemson rivalry article, and as you've been a fairly regular editor there in the past, I thought I'd give you a heads-up should you want to lend your opinion. GarnetAndBlack ( talk) 17:54, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Stesmo. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Dick's Sporting Goods, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hey, SC. A couple of quick points --
Bottom line: let's not single out Missouri as some sort of odd ball in the SEC; it's not. Culturally, Missouri is every bit as Southern as Kentucky, and more so than Florida south of Orlando. Frankly, I can clearly remember when the universities of Arkansas and South Carolina were talked about as some sort of interloping outsiders, too. (Oh! A former ACC school? What next?) And that was not that long ago. Let's try to be a little more welcoming. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 02:13, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to

Well, they're at it again… Over at Clemson Tigers football (an article I seriously try not to meddle with anymore), someone is trying their very best to whitewash the Danny Ford section of well-sourced, relevant material that was merged into the article by consensus way back in 2008. Strange how you don't see this sort of juvenile behavior on Gamecock articles, but that's a tale for another day. I don't know how much Wiki you still concern yourself with, but I figured I'd bring it to your attention to see if you have anything to add to the discussion (such as it is).

Thanks for uploading File:Cws logo new ncaa2016.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 04:05, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Scrooster, it's been a while - I hope all is well. I've been working, in my copious spare time and along with several other things, on creating pages for various College World Series seasons. You can probably see that I've done several of my preferred programs, while also trying to create them for CWS runners-up. I wondered if you'd be interested in creating season pages for Carolina's CWS appearances - particularly the 3 remaining seasons when they finished as runners-up? 2012 already has a page. Would you have interest or time to work on this? I'm also dropping a note on GarnetAndBlack's page, as I know he's an avid Gamecock baseball fan. Billcasey905 ( talk) 09:04, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
