Recruit new editors for the project?
Hi, just wonder if there is any template or program in the project to recruit newcomers or new editors to join the project? Bobo.03 (talk) 03:31, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jweiss11, following the previous discussion, I made a set of recommendations (it might contain some blocked editors who I will remove later). You'll notice that they are split between new editors and experienced editors. What do you think?

- There is actually a similar list to this at Wikipedia:WikiProject Directory/Description/WikiProject College football. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 20:26, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi! We have our system ready, and we can start recommending editors to your project now. We'd like to invite some of project organizers to our study. Participants will receive two batches of recommendations. If you think the recommended editors are good candidates for your project, we'd like you to invite them to the project.
We also made some improvements to our system including adding a short description about why we recommend a particular editor, hopefully to save your time to look through their edits.
Please let me know if you'd be interested in participating, add your WikiProject and username to the table on my user talk page. Thanks! Bobo.03 (talk) 17:27, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
Susquehanna University
Just a heads-up that they changed their mascot from the Crusaders to the River Hawks in 2016. All of the football articles/categories have the old name. Link. Rikster2 (talk) 03:45, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
Issue with categories
An unregistered user keeps adding the category "Category:Lists of college football statistical leaders by team" (can't get that linked, sorry) to the article Iheanyi Uwaezuoke. As you can see, that category is only for articles that are lists of each program's leaders, not articles about individual players who happen to be leaders. I've taken it off several times and explained in the comment that that category is not for articles about individuals, but the user keeps adding it back. Judging by his word use, I don't think English is his first language, so he probably is acting in good faith. What's the right remedy here - I don't think he and I should just edit the article back and forth forever. Jhn31 (talk) 01:23, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
Talk me off the edge (or offer a useful suggestion)!
Anon editor 208.104.157.26 updates the W/L records at Ohio State Buckeyes football every week but consistently fails to update the associated "as of date" field, persisting despite repeated pleas on his / her Talk page to attend to this simple thing. It's - unhelpful and potentially problematic: Another editor might think to increment the W/L field a second time, thinking that it hasn't been done, so now the totals are wrong; and even if that doesn't happen, by mid-season it's not clear when record is correct "as of" and someone has to go through and tally the season by hand. The best case is that, every week, some other editor remembers to follow the anon editor's (now-pointedly) incomplete update with a correction.
I acknowledge that this is a tiny thing but I'm tired of fixing an almost deliberate error every week, and it's annoying the heck out of me. Please someone help me restore a bit of perspective, or suggest a way around it. Thanks for the therapy or ideas, whichever you've got. JohnInDC (talk) 14:15, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
Rivalry
Iowa-Penn State Rivalry. I'm finding a few mentions, but nothing that convinces me. Thoughts? JohnInDC (talk) 22:06, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
BLP vs Defamation warnings
Since the Tennessee Volunteers' loss to Florida on Saturday, vandals have been posting on head coach Butch Jones's article that he has been fired. Each time, I've done a Google search just to make sure it is vandalism. (I've got a request for semi-protection at WP:RFPP.) I'm wondering if the {{uw-bio1}} series is enough, or does saying a coach (or anyone with an article on WP) has been fired warrant a Defamation warning ({{uw-defamatory1}})? Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 22:28, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
number of national champions
In many university football pages, we see different number of 'claim champion title'. It appears to multi-standard, and basically just 'claim' if nobody disagrees. When I tried to modify PSU's national title to 4, based on NCAA official website http://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/college-football-national-championship-history. JohnInDC suggests to have a talk here. I would propose that this officially recognized should be a standard. It would better than 'declaring' and no definition of 'acknowledged'. An official standard is better than chaos. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.203.207.223 (talk o contribs)
Nomination for deletion of Template:2017 Division I FBS independents football standings
Template:2017 Division I FBS independents football standings has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page.
For whatever reason, there were two standings boxes being used for independents: one ending in "records" and one ending in "standings." it's been the standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:NCAA_Division_I_FBS_independents_football_records_templates) to use "records" for the independents, and this makes intuitive sense to me since there can't really be "standings" for a conference that you can't win. I changed all uses of the "standings" box to the "records" one, and proposed deleting the former. Ostealthy (talk) 19:28, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
