Disambiguation link notification for January 4[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2001 College Football All-America Team, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fred Weary. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

All-Western vs All-Western Conference[edit]

You proposed deletion of the 1916 All-Western football team on grounds that it is "redundant" to 1916 All-Western Conference football team. To the contrary, the latter series of list articles are intended to cover all-conference teams for the "Western Conference". The former cover all teams in the region of the country (as it was known at the time) and included other significant Midwestern teams such as Notre Dame, Michigan State, and for more than a decade Michigan and Ohio State. (There is a similar dichotomy on the West Coast with "All-Pacific" and "All-Pacific Coast Conference" teams.) I think there's a reasonable discussion to be had as to the "merger" of these overlapping subsets, but AfD strikes me as the wrong forum for the discussion. Let me know if you would like to discuss. Cbl62 (talk) 14:35, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to 1918 All-Eastern football team. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 03:45, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All-Americans[edit]

Hi there. I saw your edit to Wes Chandler, changing the first-team selection in 1976 to third-team. I don't disagree, but it seems that some football pages might have been considering any selector, not just the official AA selectors. Compare 2023 College Football All-America Team to 2023 NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans, the football AA pages have tended to be a laundry list of selectors. Anyways, just an FYI, in the event anyone happens to object later. Regards. —Bagumba (talk) 05:39, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lower case for BCS[edit]

Hello Cumberland Mills. First off, thank you for all that you've been doing. Just wanted to drop by regarding the national champions. This was brought up to me in the past, it's whenever we add 'BCS national champion', the n and c should be lower case. Like this infobox template shows: WP:NFLINFOBOX. @Hey man im josh edited many of these months ago. I'm bringing it up now because it looks like you may just be starting with the BCS. I'll take care of whatever is out there now. Any problems please let me know. Thanks in advance. - Bringingthewood (talk) 07:29, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll make sure to do that going forward. I appreciate your effort to make them consistent! Cumberland Mills (talk) 18:01, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're very welcome. No problem at all doing a little editing on my side. Besides, you must be seeing All-American in your sleep, lol. Again, thank you for all that you do! Regards. - Bringingthewood (talk) 21:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Trenchard[edit]

I'm not sure the edit of Consensus All-American makes any sense because there was only one All-America team, i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1893_College_Football_All-America_Team. If I read the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Football_All-America_Team page correctly, there weren't multiple lists until the 1920's. Jamesleegilbert (talk) 04:49, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. I see the argument that there was a single All-America team at the time, and I think that the "Consensus" label is worth reconsidering for that time period. In my own opinion though, I would still lean toward describing the player as a Consensus selection. At the time, there were 2 "official" selectors (Walter Camp and Caspar Whitney). If a player was selected by both official selectors, I think it is fair to describe them as a Consensus pick. Thanks! Cumberland Mills (talk) 18:26, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
