MNC

[edit]

An editor has removed MNC seasons[1] consistent with the relevant article using a bizarre edit summary of "these are not generally recognized natl titles." The content was presented per existing cat norms, no offering of how the "generally recognized" invention should be determined, or why USC should differ from existing standards.

@UW Dawgs: the years in question are 1929, 1933, 1976, 1979, 2002, and 2007. Not sure what you mean by "cat norms". Are you talking about norms for the templates contained in Category:NCAA Division I FBS team navigational boxes? The rule of thumb for bolding national title seasons in these navboxes is to bold only those seasons that are either A) a national title pre-1949 claimed by the school or B) a national title since 1950 that is regarded as consensus and is bolded at College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS#Yearly national championship selections from major selectors.

Your new proposed A+B rule to use SYNTH to misrepresent national championships is clearly prohibited. UW Dawgs (talk) 22:19, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – @UW Dawgs: You are now edit warring, I really don't think you want this to go to a noticeboard. You can easily discuss it with having the colors still there and the template removed. I highly doubt anyone other than you and Jweiss will comment on this talk page unless it is taking to the WikiProject. Corky 18:50, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Your edits have repeatedly had the impact of minimizing and hindering an active discussion in which you have refused to participate to date, substituting your judgment that the temporary status of the colors is more important than global visibility of the contested content and direct access to the active discussion.03:54, 3 October 2018 (contrast issues.just discuss it.), 04:13, 3 October 2018 (Either fix it so the template will comply with WP:CONTRAST or don't add it at all.), 18:43, 4 October 2018 (you complain about others edit warring, yet you do exactly that). When your stated issue of compliance with WP:CONTRAST in which the MOS guideline was addressed, you then parted ways with the guideline to restore the template to my original format[2]. It is non-trivial to override the "| bottom" paramter" (in my view and attempts), and I've attempted to comply with your only stated goal of guideline compliance.

@Jweiss11: You have again removed the "disputed inline" template[3]. I presume you are in agreement that such templates are appropriate for use to callout disputed content, serve as visibility and links to related discussions, and should be removed when the contested content issue is resolved. I also presume you are aware that I continue to dispute your content revert on this particular template which had the effect of removing unbolding cited USC national championship seasons.

Therefore, would you prefer the dispute template be restored, or would you prefer a revert of your contested content edit? UW Dawgs (talk) 01:16, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please leave this navbox alone for now. The issue at stake here affects way more than this one navbox. There's no reason to blow up the formatting on this one navbox. Let's please focus on the discussion at WT:CFB. Thanks, Jweiss11 (talk) 02:48, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
