---THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN PAID FOR BY THE new WORLD order---
Just a couple more pointers- single sentence paragraphs are poor, try bringing some of them together. It's alright to reference the band's own biography (and other first party sources) sparingly when mentioning the band history- they will generally be honest about some things, like how and when they formed, but just be careful when you're doing so. Scrolling references are very, very rarely used- I'd just stick with the two columns you're using now. Also, remember refs are formatted like this- The sky is blue.[1] not The sky is blue[2]. or The sky is blue. [3]
Good luck with the article, feel free to contact me if you need any pointers. J Milburn (talk) 10:44, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Wikipedia, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page. I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Wikipedia entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game. Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article. | |

When I saw your userpage I felt a need to contact you. We have the same politics, the same IQ (mine also read lower do to uncontrolled variables), and we both refuse to sugarcoat what we think. Have you ever taken the Meyers-Briggs personality test? Peace, SexySeaBass 23:14, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, somewhat odd that you'd come up three conflicting results, but then again the MBTI is notorious for breaking when the person taking it has ADD or ADHD. I am ENTP, as my userpage says. In the past I have come up as INTP, but I am pretty borderline between them. So, which result do you think was the most accurate? SexySeaBass 00:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, yeah, any kind of personality disorder tends to break the test. In some minor personality disorders, such as depression (which I have), only the E/I will fluctuate. With ADD, however, that isn't the case, apparently. I thought that the MBTI would be mostly fine with such a thing, but obviously I was wrong. Perhaps this makes you superior, as you possess a little bit of everything. If one description fits you a little bit better than the others, then that is probably what you should be typed as. You should also only be typed using Keirsey's four main types: NT, NF, SP, and SJ, as the other letters are subject to change over time for everyone anyway, not to mention you. Like I said, perhaps this means you are superior. I know for a fact it isn't a bad thing; the MBTI is meant to be unbiased and neutral. There are no good or bad types, nor is it bad to defy typing. Hmm, like I said, I'm surprised ADD breaks the test so definitively, but then again who am I? Cheers, SexySeaBass 22:01, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Here's a list. So, it appears the range is from very gifted to genius, depending on how inaccurate the test was. I suspect that you cross the border to genius, as it should have been rather inaccurate. I finally took a test that compensated for everything myself, and my IQ came up as 147. So, basically, Libertarians are superior :). Cheers, SexySeaBass 21:54, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
I must remind you that just because you haven't heard of someone, doesn't mean they aren't notable. Steve Rickard was a popular wrestler in the 1960s, who also trained several wrestlers, including Peter Maivia. Victor Rivera has won the World Tag Team Championship (WWE), NWA World Tag Team Championship (Los Angeles version), WWF International Tag Team Championship, NWA Americas Heavyweight Championship, NWA Americas Tag Team Championship, and was a major player in the WWF in the 1970s. There's a chance both could eventually get an article, especially the latter. As for the linking NWA territories to NWA, I don't really care too much about that, but at least one of them should be linked.
Lastly, the shorthanded reference list goes in the Notes section (also known as Footnotes). In the References section is where you list the articles and/or books you used longhand. Check the following Good Articles for confirmation that this is the way it is supposed to be: Amy Dumas, Candice Michelle, Lisa Marie Varon, Torrie Wilson, Mickie James, Kurt Angle, etc. You can also check the following Featured Articles: Shelton Benjamin and Royal Rumble.

Looks pretty good. I made like two edits to a few mistakes you had in it, but it looked really good. But if he's still with the Calgary Stampeders, which I'm not aware of, then you need to change his free agent status. John (talk) 19:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure I understand why you went through and unwikilinked the dates throughout the article, and in at least a couple cases, switched the format (example: 12 March to March 12). Removing wikilinks negates the autoformatting for user preferences and by converting from 12 March 2008 to March 12, 2008 also changes the format more commonly used in the UK.

Just wishing you a wonderful First Day of Spring {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}! ~~~~
Who all do you have so far? John (talk) 23:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Here's the full list of consensus All-Americans:
Aaron Beasley, Brian Jozwiak, Bruce Bosley, Canute Curtis, Dan Mozes, Darryl Talley, Grant Wiley, Ira Rodgers, Mike Compton, Steve Slaton, Todd Sauerbrun.
Are you going to put them on the football page? John (talk) 23:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I like the All-Americans one, but I believe Major Harris was too so I'll add him. And I had to change the other template because you accidentally put "2008 Sugar Bowl" instead of Fiesta Bowl.
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Jerome Mathis return.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 23:33, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Jerome Mathis return.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 00:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Image:Jerome Mathis return.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Jerome Mathis return.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Polly (Parrot) 01:08, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
That you make incorrect edits a lot and I have to undo your changes and it offends you on a personal level.►Chris NelsonHolla! 21:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Owwwwwwwwww. That's horrible. I'll look closely into WTF it was doing and how much more of a mess I have to clean up on other articles. Sorry, sorry. I'll get onto this shortly - David Gerard (talk) 22:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Gosh, that was some time ago. I remember what that was based on, also.. about the sourcing of roster template edits. This is something that still bothers me whenever I see either Chris or Pats1 revert an edit, saying "source?" I see all the time that somebody makes what appears to be a good edit, and it's reverted on-sight by Chris and Pats1 because they didn't give a source. Then, Chris and Pats1 make every single edit without giving a source themselves, which still seems quite hypocritical.
I think it's unfair for everybody whose making good-faith edits, and it does seem like they are being bullied away from those templates. It really doesn't seem fair to me at all, and even now it frustrates me every time I see it happen; I was just thinking about it the other day after Pats1 reverted somebody. I really wish I could do something about it. Ksy92003 (talk) 22:26, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
I think just because he's and admin, he thinks he can do whatever the hell he wants and get away with it. I know this much, I truely believe he should no longer be an admin. It should, nee, MUST be taken from him for his bullying tactics, and just down right hard rudeness (which I'm not complainin' about today, just the bullyin'). But that's just my opinion. Crash Underride 22:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I will clarify. I do not undo things without reason unless they are blatant vandalism or go against a standard. That was my reason. I'd like to keep the way information is expressed the same for every player's box, it makes things a lot easier.►Chris NelsonHolla! 23:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Your right, I should just stay out of this--Yankees10 23:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
First of all, I didn't add that to the article so don't come to my talk page with threats as If I did something wrong. Secondly, it was a $300,000 signing bonus and it's true and verifiable. Ever heard of Google?►Chris NelsonHolla! 15:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
