Buried schedule charts



Despite the clear consensus that we've developed at the project page, schedule charts continue to get buried, sometimes deeply. I was looking at 2025 Texas Longhorns football team ↗ today and had to scroll a virtual mile to find the schedule chart. Cbl62 (talk) 22:26, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

:Cbl, happy new year! Yeah, this remains a problem because the vast majority of the editing on current season articles tends to be done by editors who are not engaged in the discussions at WT:CFB ↗. Engaged editors like you and me need to go in and fix the problem. We could use a 2025 season article cleanup campaign and the like for other seasons in the last decade or two. In the meantime, I re-orged the 2025 Texas Longhorns football team ↗ article. Jweiss11 (talk) 21:37, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
:: Agreed and thanks for fixing Texas. Cbl62 (talk) 21:56, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Empty Categories


Hello, Jweiss11,

I see you tagged a lot of empty categories today. It's unusual to get so many on one subject so I'm just wondering what caused these categories to empty. Were you doing some recategorization? Did this involve creating new categories or just a redefinition of existing categories. The last time this happened was last year and an editor changed all of the murder categories from annual categories to categories based on decades. Thanks for any insight you can offer. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">'''''L'''''iz</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">'''''Read!''''' ↗ '''''Talk!'''''</sup> 05:53, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

:This all has to do with the union of men's and women's basketball (and the union of men's and women's soccer) at the school and conference level, e.g. :Category:Atlantic Coast Conference basketball ↗. These men's and women's cats have been sloppily rolled up together, and represent essentially a non-thing. Men's and women's basketball have as much to do with one another as men's basketball has to do with football. :Category:Atlantic Coast Conference football and men's basketball ↗ would be obviously silly. But because men's and women's basketball are playing the same sport of basketball, even though they are competitively and administratively totally separate, these were rolled up without much thought. So, I've been working on taking out that layer in the tree. I discussed this a long ways back at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College basketball ↗, and don't think there were any objections. Jweiss11 (talk) 06:03, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
::I appreciate the detailed explanation which is what I was wondering about. It's better if one editor who has an understanding of the big picture handles these many changes.

Conferences navboxes



I don't know which is your problem with the template edits, it's not the first time you undone my changes, but I think you are doing this more for fun or personal taste than a serious reason. I found your last five reversions completely disruptive so I request at least one explanation from your part.

My changes were in good faith and I think they were constructive also. If you disagree you can talk to me or create a discussion on the navbox, but reverting without any explanation on the edit summary? I think it's not the way. Fma12 (talk) 09:22, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

:We discussed all of this recently on your talkpage, at User talk:Fma12#Color schemes on college football navboxes. The central point is that every navbox found in the subcategories of :Category:American college sports navigational boxes ↗ has had a stable color scheme for years, based on a consensus reached as discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football ↗ going back to 2011-ish. I will start a new discussion there. Jweiss11 (talk) 15:12, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Categories


Hello, Jweiss11,

I'm not sure if you are finished with your recategorization of college sports categories but I just wanted to suggest that this is done the easiest by using Twinkle ↗ to do deletion tagging. Using Twinkle will also serve to post a notification of the deletion tagging on the User talk page of the page creator, which is highly recommended, and also always supply an informative, complete edit summary. Both of these features are part of the deletion process and I hope you can start posting deletion notices on the User talk pages of category creators. I see that you are including edit summaries now so thank you for providing that. This also helps out other editors who might have questions about your edits as well as content creators. Thanks again. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">'''''L'''''iz</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">'''''Read!''''' ↗ '''''Talk!'''''</sup> 01:48, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on :Category:American college women's volleyball tournament navigational boxes ↗ indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category ↗, a category redirect ↗, under discussion at Categories for discussion ↗, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

Coach navbox



Hey Jweiss, I hope you're well. I've been working on this coach navbox. It still needs some finishing touches on the research side, but I was hoping you could lend a hand with the technical aspects. For now, I'm most interested in aligning the three subgroups to be the same length, and applying the respective team colors to those three boxes.

The Águilas Reales were blue (purple?), red, and white (1 ↗, 2 ↗, 3 ↗, 4 ↗, fourth one is a "throwback" jersey). The Cóndores UNAM ↗ were black and gold (Steelers carbon copy) and the Guerreros Aztecas were red, gold, and white (1 ↗, 2 ↗, 3 ↗, third is a throwback). JTtheOG (talk) 04:20, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

:JT, how's it going? I just made some tweaks based off of the example of Template:Mountain Pacific Sports Federation navbox ↗. The three subgroups are the same length now, and I gave them the same colors as the rest of the navbox. There may be a way to make each box have it's own team colors, but that could be pretty gaudy.

Vandalism on Sherrone Moore

:You should probably figure out what vandalism is and isn't first. Do you really think that one of the most tenured Wikipedia editors goes around "vandalizing" articles, particularly articles he's already spent time developing? Would you like to discuss my objections to your edit? Jweiss11 (talk) 20:12, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
::Ok, so, the policy on Vandalism states that removing useful information, which you did, IS vandalism, and, it doesn't matter if you spend time developing them. Again, best regards, Nihilist2345. Nihilist2345 (talk) 21:04, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
:::No, "vandalism" is when an editor knowingly edits in a way that purposefully degrades the quality of the encyclopedia; see Wikipedia:Vandalism ↗. A good example would be this recent edit ↗ on the Moore article. Vandalism has not occurred when two or more editors have a good-faith disagreement about what content belongs in a particular article. Those sorts of disagreements happen all the time, and they can often be resolved through production discussion. The content you added to the Moore article is, in my view, minutia about the administrative details of a rather minor legal case. What you wrote was also very poorly written, and based on a weak source. Jweiss11 (talk) 00:30, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Rules Sections of VPI Football Seasons



Hello Jweiss11, thanks again for all your help as always with the college football seasons. I added the Rules sections in the VPI football seasons to help explain the scores of the games, as some people reading may try to understand the game scores using today's point system. Is there another way I can do this since the rules section was not up to snuff? Maybe create a notes section? I'd love to hear your thoughts, as I put those rule sections in a lot of the early seasons, and I don't want to have that information lost. Thanks again for all you do! Jwalte04 (talk) 18:59, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

:Jwalte04, thanks for the message. A stand-alone section at 1893 VAMC football team ↗ on the general rules of college football at the time seems undue. That sort of content is best handled in detail at articles like 1893 college football season ↗; the section there about scoring and rules was compiled by {{u|Carrite}}. That being said, it does seem reasonable to add notes to the schedule tables regarding pre-modern scoring. Perhaps we could add a new field to Template:CFB schedule ↗ that would accept a given pre-1912 year as a value, and then spit out the scoring scheme at the time?

Navbox question



Hi Jweiss. I figured you might know the answer to this: I have an old pennant of the Goldey College football ↗ team -- and I was wondering if the colors from it could be used in the Template:Goldey College football navbox ↗, and how that would be done? I can email you a picture of it if it helps. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:57, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

:Are the colors different from those listed at Goldey–Beacom College ↗? The colors in navboxes can be set locally as in this example: Template:Lambuth Eagles football coach navbox ↗. Jweiss11 (talk) 14:58, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
:: The colors are a bit different – primary color is a maroon/red and then secondary is gold. In the Lambuth template, it appears the colors come from this line: "<nowiki>| basestyle = background:#004B88; color:white; {{box-shadow border|a|#D3D3CF|2px}}</nowiki>" – where would I find what strings of text (such as "#004B88") produce what colors?

1929 Georgetown Hoyas football team



A colleague and I were going through some recently scanned negatives showing Georgetown football from 1929 ↗ and just wanted to say we appreciated all the work you've done on the Georgetown pages, it was really helpful!

We noticed in the photos and in the cited articles that the first two games that had been listed in the schedule weren't played at Griffith Stadium but instead on Georgetown campus on what was then called on "Varsity Field" by Georgetown. The 1929 season was the last season that games were played there since construction of a new dormitory on that space began in February 1930.

My colleague changed the location in the schedule from Griffith Stadium to "Georgetown University", but I noticed that the Georgetown Hoyas football navbox has a red link for "Georgetown Field (1894–1929)", which given the end date I would assume is the same field as Varsity Field.

So my question is really about consistency, and wanted to check with you to see what you'd recommend before we made any further changes; should we change the location of those two games to "Georgetown Field" to match the navbox? Is it okay to just leave them as "Georgetown University" to distinguish them from the games that were played at Griffith Stadium? Or is it worth making a deeper change to include Varsity Field in the navbox?

Appreciate your thoughts! AlbinoFlea (talk) 15:26, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

:AlbinoFlea, thanks for the message. It's best to note the venue of the game as specifically as possible. Ideally, we'd have an article for Georgetown Field ↗, or however it should be named, Varsity Field (Georgetown University) ↗, perhaps. Or maybe Georgetown Field ↗ could redirect to Georgetown Hoyas football#Stadiums ↗, where the history of that venue and all its various names could be explained. I just added a source to 1910 Georgetown Blue and Gray football team ↗, which calls the venue "Georgetown Field"; see here ↗. If and when you or {{u|Kinlena}} make changes to the schedule tables for the Georgetown football season articles, it's best to also reflect those changes on the articles for Georgetown's opponents' seasons, if they exist, e.g. 1929 Western Maryland Green Terror football team ↗. Jweiss11 (talk) 15:52, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks, that's helpful. My suspicion is that "Varsity Field" was primarily used to describe it locally at Georgetown, while "Georgetown Field" was used by the external press, so your suggestion about expanding the Stadiums section on Georgetown Hoyas football ↗ and redirecting there is probably the best course of action (but will take a bit more research).
::Thanks also for the reminder to update the opponent's schedules, that hadn't occurred to me but is quite obvious in retrospect. Will keep that in mind as we move forward with any additional edits. AlbinoFlea (talk) 16:51, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

"Tennessee A&I" or "Tennessee State"



I notice that you reverted my edit on 1935 Kentucky State Thorobreds football team ↗, changing my preferred name of "Tennessee A&I" back to "Tennessee State". I just want to get it right. Here are the factors that tipped me to Tennessee A&I:
# The Tennessee A&I school newspaper from November 1935, containing the game story and with a masthead describing the school as "Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State College". here ↗
# The Wikipedia article on Tennessee State University ↗ stating that the school was known as "Tennessee Agricultural & Industrial State College" from 1927–1968.
# Official history of the University confirming that the school was "Agricultural & Industrial" until the legislature acted in 1968 to change the name to "Tennessee State". here ↗
# ''The Chicago Defender'' article on the game describing the opponent as "Tennessee A&I". here ↗
# Wikipedia uses the 1968 transition year from "A&I" to "State" in the basketball context. See :Template:Tennessee State Tigers basketball navbox ↗, 1956–57 Tennessee A&I State Tigers basketball team ↗-1958–59 Tennessee A&I State Tigers basketball team ↗.
# Wikipedia also uses the "Tennessee A&I" name for most of the pre-1968 football teams. In particular, the complete run of 24 season articles from 1945 Tennessee A&I Tigers football team ↗ to 1967 Tennessee A&I Tigers football team ↗ consistently use A&I.

Given the weight of authorities (and to have consistency within Wikipedia's treatment of the school's sports teams), "Tennessee A&I" seems like the correct description for the 1935 football team. (Similar changes should also be made to the Tennessee A&I season articles from 1922 to 1939 as well as the football navbox.) Do you disagree? Cbl62 (talk) 23:18, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

:Cbl, yes as long as 1935 Tennessee State Tigers football team ↗ is named as it is, related articles like 1935 Kentucky State Thorobreds football team ↗ should use "Tennessee State" in places like the schedule table and section headings. I just built out that entire run of Tennessee State articles from 1922 to 1939 in the past couple weeks. Based on newspaper coverage, I've determined that the most common name for the football team during that pre-WWII span was "Tennessee State", not "Tennessee A&I". The local papers in Nashville, like ''The Tennessean'' and the ''Nashville Banner'' used "A&I" a fair bit, but also used "State", and the coverage in newspapers from other cities around the country, like ''The Chicago Defender'', ''Baltimore Afro-American'', ''The Atlanta Journal'', ''Atlanta Daily World'', usually used "State". Here's the ''The Chicago Defender'' covering the Tennessee State vs. Wilberforce game earlier in the 1935 season: "Wilberforce Drubs Tennessee State, 26-0" ↗. I invite you to take a lot of all the citations I've pulled for all those articles from 1922 and 1939. We may also want to take a closer look at the post-war, 1945 to 1967 period as well, to confirm that "A&I" was indeed common than "State" in era. Jweiss11 (talk) 00:40, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
:: Like you, my review indicates there was a mix between "A&I" and "State". In such a case, I would give the tie breaker to (a) the school's official name which was "A&I" until 1968, and (b) the name already used for basketball articles and also in the complete run of team season articles from 1944-1967. I do appreciate your recent creation of a new run football articles in the 1920s/1930s era, but using the "State" nomenclature runs contrary to the established naming protocol across both basketball and football for this particular program. Please ping me if you decide to open further discussion of the topic, and I will do the same if I find time to do so. Cbl62 (talk) 02:43, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
:::It's quite clear to me that "Tennessee State" is the common name for 1922 to 1939. "A&I" and "State" were both in the official school name during that period, although the official school name is far less relevant than how independent sources were referring to the school's sports teams. Before my work in the last two weeks ago, no one here on Wikipedia had seriously investigated the naming for the program during this pre-war period, so the previously "established naming protocols" should be taken with a grain of salt. You should note that the basketball navbox and the three pre-1968 basketball articles use the naming scheme "Tennessee A&I State", which is different from the scheme anywhere for the football program. Those three basketball articles do not cite any contemporaneous sources. Those articles were created by {{u|SportsGuy789}} back in 2019. SportsGuy789, do you have any thoughts on this? I think we should also review the naming of the football articles from 1944 to 1967. Looking at 1950 Tennessee A&I Tigers football team ↗, all four contemporaneous sources cited there use "Tennessee State". Jweiss11 (talk) 03:14, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Pinging {{u|Patriarca12}}, who created many of the early post-war football article as well. Jweiss11 (talk) 03:22, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
:::I don't have a strong recollection as to why I named that way... my hunch is that I saw source(s) listing it as such, didn't think too much about it, and ran with it. I'm open to basketball article name changes if the contemporaneous newspapers.com sources largely indicate another common name. SportsGuy789 (talk) 04:07, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

'''May backlog drive'''

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026 ↗.

'''PageTriage'''

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed ↗ to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket ↗ if you're interested in following along.

1955 Drexel Dragons football team ↗



The internet is not allowing me to access the NCAA cumulative statistics for the above team. See https://stats.ncaa.org/team/191/stats/13492 Some sites don't allow access from foreign countries, so that may be the problem. Are you able to access it? If so, would you mind adding the individual statistical leaders to the article? Or giving me the data, and I can add it? Cbl62 (talk) 23:54, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
::: What about the NCAA cumulative stats for this season? Ar you able to view it? As for "Afternoon" and "Night", I don't think those responses should be permitted. If the actual hour is not available, I think it should be left blank. I struck those notations from 1955 Drexel. Cbl62 (talk) 12:05, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
:::: Nice work building out the early 1890s seasons, BTW. Cbl62 (talk) 12:07, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

:::Yeah, the men and women's programs for a given sport at a given school tended to be all rolled up before my recent drive to split things up. A few months back, I went through and broke up the men's and women's programs for basketball, volleyball, soccer, and lacrosse. But I don't think I ever got to ice hockey, tennis, golf, or anything else. As for the Olympic sports like track and field and swimming and diving, I think it probably makes sense to keep these rolled up together, since the men's and women's athletes are often coached by the same staff.
