WikiProject College football June 2008 Newsletter

The College football WikiProject Newsletter Issue VII - June 2008
Project news There's still more than two months until the 2008-2009 college football season kicks off, but that's no reason to stop editing! Plenty of historical articles, such as past bowl games, need to be written, and editors are always needed to update teams' season articles. Don't fall into the summer malaise — check out the to-do list on the Wikiproject College football talk page. Wikiproject College Football recently created its first featured topic, ACC football championship games. Featured topics are collections of good- or featured-level articles, and represent the apex of featured content on Wikipedia. If you have multiple good or featured articles that can be connected by a common topic or article, consider submitting them as a featured article. There are currently very few featured topics and even fewer sports featured topics. Several NAIA coaches' articles (ex. Ronald Beard) were nominated for deletion, but were rescued by editors. Paul McDonald has created a formal draft of notability requirements for college football articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject College Football/Notability. This is an updated draft of the older proposed guidelines and goes into far more detail. All editors of college football articles are requested to examine the document and leave comments or suggestions. If implemented, it will affect future AfD discussions dealing with college football articles. The College Football Portal needs more pictures scheduled. Do you have a great picture that illustrates the best of college football? Consider adding it to the featured image queue on the portal.	From JKBrooks85 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.

Question About Editing References

Mecu - Hope you are enjoying your summer. I am working on editing both Dorrie Nossiter and Suz Andreasen as well as a new article. I cannot seem to figure out how to edit references. On the Suz Andreasen page for example, it just has a reference list. Can you aid me in this or direct me to a page on insturcuctions on how to properly add references?

Fair use image problems

I notice you have uploaded the image Image:Bill Dooley.JPG with the {{Non-free promotional}} fair use image tag. However, this tag seems unrelated to the content of the image, and as a result it may qualify for speedy deletion. Image:Bill Dooley.JPG has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why Image:Bill Dooley.JPG can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the {{Non-free promotional}} tag that you have placed on it with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. However, you must not remove the speedy deletion notice. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia.

Fair use images aren't allowed for living people, unfortunately, per WP:FU#Unacceptable use #12 in the subsection "Images." Hippo (talk) 00:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Note to MECU

Hi Mecu. Can't find the original thread on your talk page, so forgive me for starting a new one. You asked me about this image. I know it was a while ago-- sorry-- I was having trouble finding an online link to it, but I finally found one here. I added that URL to the image page, but I don't know if I did it right. Can you let me know if not? I hope this resolves everything and thank you for your help! Chrissy385 (talk) 21:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
