Hello, I noticed your recent edits on AP Trophy where you list the various trophies awarded over the years. However, it stops in 1965. Do you know the name of the trophy from 1966–present? Oluwasegu (talk) 20:05, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oluwasegu I've so far been unable to find any citations that show the "win 3 times to retire the trophy permanently" tradition carried on in 1966+. I would assume that in 1966 they started awarding individual (non-traveling) AP trophies, but haven't found a citation for that either.

By my calculations the next "3 time" winners would have been: Notre Dame 1977, Miami 1989, Florida 2008, Alabama 2012, Alabama 2020.

For the individual trophy years I'd like to track the design of the trophy; the wooden 1990s one in the infobox picture was replaced by a silver or gold one at some point, etc. Not sure what the early ones look like. Pictures of the early traveling Dickinson and AP trophies would great for Wikipedia too.

At some point the AP Trophy was possibly renamed the "Bryant" trophy but I'm not sure if that's the current name of the AP Trophy.

The award was known as the AP Trophy from 1957-83, when it was renamed the Paul Bear Bryant Trophy.

Any help on AP Trophy is much appreciated. I also want to create a page (or section at Coaches' Trophy) for the early UP / UPI trophies, which existed much earlier than the crystal football but have almost no coverage on wikipedia or the internet.

PK-WIKI (talk) 02:44, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@PK-WIKI: I'm inclined to have it read AP Trophy (1957–present). I found on this site, 2 images of Nebraska's AP trophies from 1970-71, this image of Bryant receiving the AP trophy in 1978, and this image of Colorado's AP trophy from 1990 (which matches the infobox pic from Michigan 1997). The source you provided states that it was called the AP Trophy from 1957-83 (I can't find any other sources referring to the trophy as the Bryant Award). Oluwasegu (talk) 22:00, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Oluwasegu:

• I don't think the 1970 and 1971 Nebraska awards shown here are the actual AP Trophies... I think those are separate plaques that are given alongside the award. The 1971 award even shows the trophy as an engraving on the plaque. The design of that engraved trophy image closely matches the design of the 1957–1965 trophy permanently won by Alabama. Many traveling trophies give permanent smaller awards or plaques to each year's winner.
• The fact that the Nebraska trophy case only contains the plaques and not an actual trophy supports the idea that a new traveling trophy was put into play for 1966 following the retirement of the original AP Trophy. The next 3 time winner of that AP Trophy would have been Notre Dame in 1977... and their trophy case contains a trophy that's identical to the 1957–1965 trophy. I think we can safely assume there was a 1966–1977 traveling AP Trophy permanently retired by Notre Dame. Confirmed here in this 1979 article.
• The Alabama "1" trophy for 1978 seems to be some kind of stunt put on by Good Morning America... they awarded identical "1" trophies to both Alabama and USC. Don't know what that year's AP trophy looks like, but that is definitely not the USC 1978 UPI Coaches Trophy.
• The first "AP Trophy" (1957–1965) was apparently re-named as the "Paul W. Bryant Trophy" upon the Tide retiring it with 3 wins. (I believe I'm reading that correctly, and it's the just-retired trophy that was named for Alabama. Not the next trophy...?)
• It was heavily reported that Miami 1983 won the first AP Trophy to be renamed the Paul "Bear" Bryant Trophy, after the coach's death in early 1983.

I'll post some of this to AP Trophy and Talk:AP Trophy as well. PK-WIKI (talk) 05:47, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For the recently added Historic occurrences table under College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS, what exactly are you counting as a de facto matchup? Only matchups that feature No. 1 vs. No. 2? Had No. 1 Texas def. No. 5 Notre Dame in the 1977 Cotton Bowl, the Longhorns would've been named national champions by default. But since Notre Dame was voted consensus champion by both major polls should this be included? You can also make an argument that the 1971 Game of the Century b/n No. 1 Nebraska vs. No. 2 Oklahoma was for the Coaches title (which voted before bowls) and the subsequent Orange Bowl b/n No. 1 Nebraska and No. 2 Alabama was for the AP title (voted after the bowls). I'm just looking for clarification before others (including myself) contribute to the table/section. Oluwasegu (talk) 17:14, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Oluwasegu: I see the list as having two inclusion requirements:

1. Described as such by WP:R sources. Needs language such as "national championship game", "will play for the title", "national championship will be decided", "the winner will claim the title", etc.
2. Both teams having legitimate/assured shots at the title if they win, and knowing that as they are playing.

End-of-season No. 1 vs. No. 2 would always(?) qualify, but is definitely not a requirement.

The 1966 Orange Bowl (No. 3 vs. No. 4) definitely qualifies, as No. 1 and No. 2 had already lost earlier in the day. The teams also knew there would be a post-bowl AP Poll, although that isn't a full requirement (due to other selectors and/or claims).

I don't know the full particulars of the 1978 Cotton Bowl Classic, but a brief glance seems to indicate that would not qualify as a NCG because No. 3 Alabama had a claim and there was no real reason for No. 5 Notre Dame to believe they would jump to No. 1 with a win. But the timing of the games and contemporary sources need to be examined.

That 1971 Nebraska team playing in two(!) NCGs is a great example and yes, seems like both should be included. I'm sure there will be a certain amount of "weirdness" in this list, but that's what makes college football special.

Thanks for your help in adding to this list. A collection of these historic NCGs is important for the article, as these are the games that administrators of the Coalition/Alliance/BCS used as precedent for setting up their own guaranteed national championship games.

PK-WIKI (talk) 18:07, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@PK-WIKI: RE: 1975 Rose Bowl: reliance on the result of the 1975 Orange Bowl ---> In that case, the 1966 Orange Bowl needs to be removed b/c it relied on both the 1966 Rose Bowl and 1966 Cotton Bowl Classic for it to be a NCG. The Orange Bowl in those days was always scheduled in the evening, and so the two participants in Miami knew whether they had a shot based on the bowl results earlier in the day. Suppose the 1975 Rose Bowl and 1975 Orange Bowl swapped kickoff times (Orange in afternoon; Rose in evening)? Would that qualify as a NCG then? Unless a bowl matchup featured #1 vs #2, every team ranked in the Top 5 knew they had a shot at the NC (heading into NYD) if they won their bowl game, plus reliance on other results. If a match-up has (1) NCG implications in the pre-game w/ sources, and (2) BOTH teams had legit shots at a NC as you indicated then it should be included. The fact of the matter is that the winner of the 1975 Rose Bowl (OSU or USC) would've won the Coaches/UPI NC Trophy.

As far as the 1977 Sugar Bowl, history tells me that UGA "had a shot" since No. 2 Michigan lost their bowl game. The AP voters vaulted No. 5 Notre Dame in 1977 and No. 5 Miami (FL) in 1983 to the top spot, with No. 2 losing (Oklahoma, Texas) and No. 3 winning (Alabama, Auburn) on NYD respectively. As far as 1976, UGA might gotten at least a "share" by either the AP/Coaches Polls and vaulted to No. 1, with No. 2 Michigan losing and No. 3 USC winning just like 1977 and 1983. So clearly the AP wouldn't mind voting for UGA if they pulled off the upset against Pitt. Oluwasegu (talk) 19:27, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1. Reliable sources

Every inclusion needs WP:R sources calling the game a "national championship game" or using substantially equal language.

"National championship implications" isn't enough. That describes a good Bowl Game, not a National Championship Game.

I think overall these are going to be No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchups, or close equivalents with a good explanation of why it's a NCG.

It's definitely not accurate to ipso facto call any bowl game won by the eventual national champion a "national championship game".

2. Timing

The 1966 Orange Bowl No. 3 vs. No 4 is included because it's described as a NCG in reliable sources. The timing of the No. 1 and No. 2 losses was essential... it's what made sportswriters call the game a NCG. The two teams knew they were playing for the national championship due to the losses earlier in the day. At that point it's essentially the same as a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup.

Yes, the Orange Bowl being played in the evening is "unfair". The Orange Bowl might produce more NCGs as a result. But that's the way it was, and the timing of the games is essential.

I don't think you will find sources calling the 1975 Rose Bowl a NCG because while that game was being played, Coaches No. 1 Alabama was still unbeaten.

3. Reliance on selectors

A national championship game is one where the national championship is determined/claimed on the field. That's what makes NCGs so unique/desirable in college football, vs. the normal situation of waiting for a selector to award the title. That's why the sport has been attempting to always have a national championship game since 1992.

In a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup, the "final poll" is a formality. The selector set up the game as No. 1 vs. No. 2, so the winner will be that selector's national champion. It's determined and claimed on the field. (Other selectors are of course free to select a different national champion.)

The 1977 Sugar Bowl can't be a NCG because it relies on No. 5 Georgia jumping the winner of the No. 2 vs. No. 3 1977 Rose Bowl. I'm not saying that can't happen. A win vs. No. 1 is big and they might have jumped from No. 5 to No. 1. It's happened in the past. But it relies on the AP voters and is announced days later. It could go either way.

Both teams in a NCG "control their own destiny". When you win a NCG you know you're the champion. That's what defines a NCG @ Oluwasegu. It's stronger than "have a shot", despite me writing that above :)

PK-WIKI (talk) 07:13, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@PK-WIKI: Should the 1963 Rose Bowl and 1964 Cotton Bowl Classic be included? Yes I know the AP did not consider bowl results, but it is very likely that winner would've received the FWAA Grantland Rice national championship trophy (which voted AFTER the bowls). OR is this table only considering NCG based on the AP/Coaches?? Oluwasegu (talk) 13:47, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Oluwasegu I would say those most probably are. All selectors should be considered, and even no-selector "self-claims" should probably considered if the NCG is what gives them the reason for the claim.

But as with all of these, the real test is finding mentions of them being NCGs in reliable sources. PK-WIKI (talk) 17:14, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious and probably dumb and naive to you, but why is this even listed in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision? Please enlighten me. Demrep (talk) 23:44, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Both teams played in the highest level of college football until the Gaels team was disbanded in 1951. The table for "top level competition" is currently labeled "NCAA Division I FBS" but also represents previous top-level play.

Saint Mary's brought back lower-level football in the 70s/80s but (as far as I'm aware) never played Oregon during that time. If the teams did ever meet during that time, I'd support moving the rivalry into the Rivalries involving FBS and FCS teams table instead. PK-WIKI (talk) 17:37, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. At the minimum, I learned St Mary's, like Gonzaga, used to field a top-level football team until circumstances dictated otherwise. Appreciate the response and continue the good work you do here on Wikipedia. Demrep (talk) 08:08, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And they won the 1939 Cotton Bowl! Yes, very interesting. Gonzaga is another old football team that could use more coverage on wikipedia.

Hello, PK-WIKI,

This article was going to be tagged for CSD G4 speedy deletion after it was just moved to main space without any improvements being made to the article. I moved it back to Draft space to prevent its deletion. I thought you were going to work on improving the article before submitting it! I won't be around to "save" this article next time so please do not move it to main space if it is identical to the article that was just deleted at AFD. I'm disappointed that you just submitted it to AFC after I bothered to restore it for you without making any changes to the article. I think I'm done with this one. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:20, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: Oh... I didn't realize you were were expecting me to make improvements to the article before submitting to AFC. IMO the article already clearly meets WP:GNG with its current citations (and was wrongly deleted via AFD). So I just submitted it to AFC after the draft was restored. I was expecting it to take several weeks, not a one-day turnaround.

Note that I didn't move it to mainspace myself.

I thought the proper process was to submit to AFC. @The AFC reviewer who approved it seems to agree that the article's current citations meet GNG... I thought that would "undo" the AFD mark against it. Does the AFC reviewer's approval mean nothing in this situation? Not sure how this works.

I will work on the article some more, but like I said the article already has 8 citations meeting GNG. PK-WIKI (talk) 02:59, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm sorry for the confusion. I accepted your draft and do believe it meets the GNG. The concern being brought forth is that it is identical content to something that was deleted by AFD. There are many reasons that an article can get deleted and the GNG is not always the trump card when considered deletion and we do need to respect that.

Hello, PK-WIKI. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Deke Houlgate".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Sammi Brie -- Sammi Brie (talk) 03:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for reviewing. You said:

"The page is very short to the point where its completeness comes into question (WP:GACR 3a). It is a nice page, but it's also unclear what more could be said."

But WP:GACR 3a states:

"it addresses the main aspects of the topic" and "The "broad in its coverage" criterion is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles. It allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics"

So I don't really think short articles should be quickfailed, especially when "it's also unclear what more could be said." Would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Stanwood, Washington, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

• If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
• If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. SounderBruce 23:09, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Stanwood, Washington shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. SounderBruce 18:51, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No need for this; 3RR respected and informative edit messages written by both sides.

Hi PK-WIKI. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
• Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies.

I am not sure this article meets Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. But having read WP:NEWSNOTE to note how this paper meets a few of these guidelines and understanding the importance of articles of newspapers to establish notability within Wikipedia, I'm not marking it PROD or AfD. I recommend building this article out further to better establish its notability to the casual reader.

You do realise you are now at 5RR since 03:45 (UTC) today.[1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Each of those is a revert for WP:3RR. You might want to self-rv. DeCausa (talk) 21:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I said on the Talk page, these are reverts of a contentious BLP item "poorly sourced according to Wikipedia's biographies of living persons (BLP) policy" and falls under Wikipedia:3RRBLP. PK-WIKI (talk) 21:15, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, that only applies to content that is "libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced" which doesn't apply to your edit. I've just noticed that an admin has said the same thing to you on the article talk page, which I didn't see previously. You would definitely be blocked if you were taken to AN3. DeCausa (talk) 21:20, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The content IS poorly sourced: it's stating in WP:WIKIVOICE what the reliable third party sources attribute only to a press release by the subject of the article.

Per WP:BLP, Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—must be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.

I have no problem with the content of the press release being added to the article, but it must be attributed to the WP:ABOUTSELF self-published source and not stated in wikivoice.

PK-WIKI (talk) 21:26, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm telling you that won't wash at AN3. The rule is about protecting the subject. You're making the text, from the subject's perspective, more not less controversial.

Hello PK-WIKI,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hi PK-WIKI, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! – Joe (talk) 06:44, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, just an observation. This page still has many incoming links, which need to be updated. If you convert a page to a disambiguation page, then you need to also cleanup all the incoming links. Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:47, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good point. Do you know if there's a good way to do that automatically, or request it to be done? Thanks for the notification. PK-WIKI (talk) 09:31, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You might look at Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links. There was a tool called DabSolver but it doesn't seem to be working now — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:41, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1932 college football season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Knute Rockne Memorial Trophy.

Hi, thanks for adding that reference to the Wikipedia:Requested articles/Sports/American football list for Oregon State–Washington State a few weeks ago. It appears as though you have some experience creating rivalry articles and editing college football pages in general. I was just wondering if you would be able and willing to go ahead and create the Oregon State–Washington State football rivalry page at your earliest convenience? And maybe a few of the other requested rivalries on that page? Thanks for your edits and other contributions to college football coverage on Wikipedia. 2603:6010:61F0:91B0:2CA2:7A6A:372B:F853 (talk) 00:58, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion the WSU-OSU citations aren't quite there yet for a rivalry article that passes WP:GNG. I think it is likely to develop soon though, perhaps this year, due to the "Pac-2" conference. I'll keep an eye on sources as they are written this season. PK-WIKI (talk) 01:02, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What about some of the other requested rivalry articles on that page? 2603:6010:61F0:91B0:2CA2:7A6A:372B:F853 (talk) 01:03, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Out of the ones on that list, California–Washington football rivalry is the only one I have any knowledge about. That one potentially has citations establishing notability in the early 20th century, circa the time Bow Down to Washington was written with lyrics referencing Cal. Has been on my list to research/write. I'm also planning to re-create Minnesota–Penn State football rivalry (aka Governor's Victory Bell) with better citations, which was recently deleted but has a notable traveling trophy. PK-WIKI (talk) 01:09, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, also I'm curious about Oregon–Washington State football rivalry and Oregon State–Washington football rivalry, two more stemming from the Northwest Championship page you created. Any momentum there for created articles? And do you know how soon you might be able to start creating? 2603:6010:61F0:91B0:2CA2:7A6A:372B:F853 (talk) 01:14, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe either of those have the needed citations for rivalry articles. I have no immediate plans for any of these; what's the rush? PK-WIKI (talk) 01:20, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to stop by regarding your edit and claim that my edit was not in the matter as "Original Research". While I appreciate keeping one of the sources from a video in which he revealed he is now a Dutch Citizen, I am disappointed by the fact that you removed the mention of my edit, EVEN THOUGH it was explicitly noticed that the video visually displayed a now-canceled Canadian Passport given that he was required by Dutch Law to renounce his citizenship. In addition, you failed to note the fact that on the page regarding to Dutch Nationality Law, it failed to mention that foreign citizens who planned to become naturalized Dutch Citizens must renounce any other citizenship. Wanted to express my opinions on it because I hate the fact I want to defend my facts when a lot of Wikipedia Editors keep ruining information in the process. 20chances (talk) 18:10, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
