Explanation of Current Project - Indiana High School Athletic Association Conferences[edit]

This Project involves the creation of stub pages for each conference in Indiana. In most cases, all of the information is coming from http://www.ihsaa.org. When finished, I intend to expand them to the depth of information found in the Pocket Athletic Conference or the Southern Indiana Athletic Conference. Each Conference will come complete with a map of the members counties in Indiana, A wikitable with the the member schools, their location, mascot, colors, county, and IHSAA Class, and sometimes even enrollment. In each case all information is coming from one of two sources and either is verifiable. One is found at http://www.ihsaa.org/school_rosters_frame.htm which contains membership for all of the conferences. The other is a PDA page located at http://www.ihsaa.org/school-directory/SchoolDirectory2.pdf. This is an Adobe Acrobat File which contains very detailed infromation on all of Indiana's almost 400 schools.

Please do not delete any of these pages as they are legit and very time consuming to replace.

Progress Can be tracked by the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) Template

As of 08/04/08: 23 out of the IHSAA's 50 Conferences are completed or 45%
As of 08/07/08: 29 or 58%
As of 08/12/08: 34 or 68%
As of 08/21/08: 46 or 92%
As of 08/27/08: 50 or 100% of primary project completed. (Completed at 19:45 (CDT)
Now Concentrating on the IHSAA Independents as the 51st Conference page and making it the fourth IHSAA School Page.
Then Around Sept 1, phase II begins:
This will take me through each of the conference pages and adding the state finalist and runnerups for each school (if any).

Planned Completion: 09/20/08 (I HOPE)

It has come to my attention that the second page of my conference lists has disappeared. So, I feel I should explain the secondary project to the above project. I intend to finish the incomplete detailed list of Indiana's Conferences. Indiana has 50 conferences so I planned four pages, the first two with 17 conferences each, the third with 16, and the fourth being a detailed list of the IHSAA Independents with around 20 schools. All four pages will be uniform with backround shading based on the school's status; multi-county, private, military, not playing football or affiliated with one of the three football conferences. Like the conference pages themselves the conference list has at least two sources from the Authority in Indiana Sports, the IHSAA, and for Mount Carmel, the IHSA. Everything from the location, name, mascot, colors, enrollment, and county are found in the PDA directory file http://www.ihsaa.org/school-directory/SchoolDirectory2.pdf. I have even gotten into the habit of listing the school's ID # for that list. To comfirm the information is legit, all that you need to do is scroll down to the ID number listed by the name (example:Gibson Southern ID: 127). The ID number are not always determined by the school's name for example, Northwest High School (169) comes aphabetacally before Northwestern High School (262). This is because Northwest High School is ID as Indianapolis Northwest High School. Other Indy are schools are in their correct alphabetic place. Other example would be for Elkhart, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Gary, Lafayette, Muncie, South Bend, and Terre Haute, all the way down to Vincennes, Washington, Jasper, and Madison.Rhatsa26X (talk) 01:16, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a minor adjustment to the conference rosters. After the pages were redirected, I changed them to include the ranges of the names on the roster. They are now Indiana High School Athletics Conferences: Adams County - Metropolitan, Indiana High School Athletics Conferences: Mid-Eastern - Northwestern, and Indiana High School Athletics Conferences: Ohio River Valley - White River. Please leave them that way.Rhatsa26X (talk) 21:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding nicknames to state templates: it's quite nonstandard, and it makes the templates display improperly. As well, altering the colors is a huge change (all county templates are colored according to the state template), so it is definitely not a change that should be made without extensive discussion. Nyttend (talk) 23:14, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone changed Indiana's colors as well. It was a dark blue with gold letters, similar to Nevada, and I did not do that. The Nicknames have yet to cause any inproper features aside from the nicknames showing up. The nicknames need to be added state template so they can displayed without showing up when they are collapsed. Most cases I just blended the nicknames in to the template. Two wikipedians have been "standardizing" the state templates and I only did five, which I'll eventually change back, if Indiana's is restored back to dark blue.

What do you mean? According to your contributions, you did over thirty state templates just in the last 1½ hours. Moreover, this and this edits were both your doing; the only recent changes to the color of {{Indiana}} have been by those restoring it to its normal color. Nyttend (talk) 23:38, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What I mean is that Indiana, like many states was the color of the flag, I will restore those well actually only 5 states which colors changed. Yes I added nicknames to 45 templates in an hour and a half, but I only changed five colors. As for the others I only added nicknames. The ones I did change were California, Michigan, Oklahoma, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The others I left and Only added the Nicknames in Small Type even going through the trouble of making the font color the same as the rest of the template. Its really harmless and adds some pride to the states.

Basically what I am getting at is the State Template needs to modified to include their nicknames, preferably in a smaller type but bigger than the capital. Some nicknames identify the state better than the name. Several of them are older than their state is. Like for example what do you think of when the name "Hoosier" is used?: Indiana, right? or the Lone Star; Texas, a name which is older than the state, since the Lone Star Flag was adopted before statehood. Here's another; Old Dominion; Virginia, or "Land of Lincoln"; Illinois. Both State have used their nicknames on their plates for over twenty consecutive years. The only reason Indiana doesn't is because of Purdue University and Indiana University fierce rivalry, otherwise it would have as well.

A tag has been placed on Indiana Business College, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. KurtRaschke (talk) 00:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote it using the limited information available. I have added a hangon tag to this article and expect you to explain why you have nominated it for speedy deletion. Rather than deleting this page, I seriously implore you to consider improving it. This is at best a stub of an actual Indiana College and deleting it would be premature. Oh by the way, It adverstising IS your reason for this delete, than Wikipedia should consider deleting ALL College articles as most of them have some advertising point of view. Rhatsa26X (talk) 00:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding colors to the names of high schools in the infoboxes. That is not standard and does not comply with WP:MOS. In many cases colors and enlargement of the name does not look very good at all. School colors are already listed below in the infobox and do not need to be applied to the title. Thanks for your work with the Athletic conferences; the articles look very nice. I however have moved the titles because it is against WP:NC to use "Page2", "Page 3" for a continued list. Reywas92^Talk 19:17, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will finish removing the color, but in return, restore the medium text. This makes them similar to the Infobox_University format.Rhatsa26X (talk) 21:18, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wait! That might work, but rather than having < span > text making them all medium, I can simply edit the Template to do it everywhere. Reywas92^Talk 23:05, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That will work Rhatsa26X (talk) 04:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, please don't add a span to the header of school infoboxes making the font medium. That is not standard. It doesn't matter if the infobox for universities has a larger header than the infobox for other schools; it doesn't achieve anything to add the span to just a few schools. And for some of the schools, you obviously don't know what "native name" in the infobox means. It's not to rearrange the school name with the city, it's for schools in other countries to show the school name in the native language was before being translated. Thank you. Reywas92^Talk 23:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The template header is still too small. As for the other, You may know that many schools in Indiana are known by two names, the Local Name like say Benjamin Bosse High School and the IHSAA designation used outside Evansville. To anybody in Gibson or any other county, the school is called Evanville Bosse. Its the same way with the schools in Indianapolis, even the ones outside of Indy but are in Marion county are often called Indianapolis ... High School. Indiana just has that peculiarity to it. Trust me, the so-called "Native Names" are nothing more that what the school is referred to by local residents whether it is english or not, while the larger bolder name is what the school is referred to by the region or the IHSAA. It may not be standard, but it is consistent. The IHSAA uses this system because there are at least 15 schools that if you did not add the city name to it, would have the exact same name and some even have the same namesake. Thank You for your concern. Rhatsa26X (talk) 04:15, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is in no way consistent to only list the name used colloquially for only some Indiana schools while there are thousands more schools that don't use the native names parameter incorrectly. At the very least they would definitely need to be swapped; the official school name (i.e. the article title, in this case Benjamin Bosse High School) should be listed in the name parameter, and the name using the city (Evansville Bosse) should go under native name. Thanks, Reywas92^Talk 20:47, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is getting nowhere fast. I have been making concessions on this issue, but it seems I will have to use the Missouri Approach and show you exactly what it is I am intending to do here in the long term.

Since you are from Fishers, Indiana, I am going to use two Hamilton County High Schools in my illustration.

Fishers High School
Address
13000 Promise Road Fishers , Hamilton County , Indiana 46038 United States
Information
School district	Hamilton Southeastern Schools

This is Fishers High School's infobox using the standard Schools Template.

Carmel High School
Information
Motto	Veritas Scientia Mores (Truth Knowledge Character)
Established	1887

This is Carmel High School's infobox, notice that it uses the University Template

Gibson Southern High School
Address
3499 W County Road 800 S (3499 Coal Mine Road) Fort Branch , Indiana USA
Information
School district	South Gibson School Corporation

This is my high school alma-matter, Gibson Southern High School's template.
Fishers and Gibson Southern use the same template but now the heading is consistent with Carmel High School.
This is what I am trying to do here, now that I have figured out how to do it.
Do you get it now. I am simply trying to simalarize the heads of the university template which is used on Carmel High School's page with the schools template used on Fishers and Gibson Southern High Schools' pages.

I have just completed some research on how to make both head fonts appear the same size. Since the school and university templates are protected this is going to have to be manually done for the time being. I am not giving up on this, as the standardization of both templates is my every intention.

Using the span style font-size:10.5pt , the Carmel High School and the Gibson Southern High School templates now have the same font style and size. This should no longer be a problem now, is it. When it is done ALL High School Templates in Indiana will look the same and Gibson Southern's template will look like it did when I made it in October 2006 as part of my first article. It DID look like the Gibson Southern example, NOT like the Fishers example.

I know what you are tyring to do; you don't have to show me; that's just not how you do it! You do not manually add this span to only Indiana articles. First, Carmel High School should not have the University infobox. If you want conformity in Indiana HS articles, try fixing that. The way to fix some things in a template is not to edit every article with the template, but to go straight to the source. I have requested an edit to Template talk:Infobox School to have this corrected in every article automatically. Thank you for your understanding. Reywas92^Talk 03:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It all depends on YOUR definition of indiscrinitate information. There are other such lists for other conferences in Indiana that are just like this one and several for Illinoian Conferences that look like a running gag. Why don't we just eliminate all local referent articles and say at local small town or rural area information isn't worth being written. It would, however, be more constructive to try to find the information and add to the information, not just write it off because it seems incomplete, which it is. I am working on adding to this area, provided that it still exists when I can get around to it. After all, I do happen to have a full time job and can't always be around to address every discrepancy that occurs. Unfortunately the IHSAA does not keep conference records or this list, as well as the fall and winter lists and even the same lists for the other area conferences would have been completed months ago. Instead it involves a very exausting search through seemingly vast enclaves of data parts of which are inaccessible. Rhatsa26X (talk) 02:54, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you use a weird term such as nameplate capacity, you should create it as a link. You should also give units. "1,094 nameplate capacity" - do you really mean 1,094 MW? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 02:43, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You don't tell me here or on my user talk page - you just go and edit the article!!! I have done it for you. You missed my point: "nameplate capacity" is a perfectly OK term to use here providing you make it into a wikilink. But omitting the units is unforgivable!

The material you added to Escambia County, Florida and Escambia County, Alabama on the origin of the name "Escambia" was original research, which is not allowed in Wikipedia. The Escambia County, Alabama government web site, which was the 6th item in a Google search for "Escambia meaning", attributes the name to the Creek language (which was already in the article for Escambia County, Alabama). I have reverted your original research from the articles and cited the web site for the Creek language as the source of the name.

There are a few things I have observed you doing recently. One, removing {{fact}} without citing the disputed statements is against policy, do not do that again. Second, you have not been italicizing ship names, something which is proscribed in the MOS. Thirdly, you are mis-using the fields of the infoboxes and messing with the succeeded by fields needs to be discussed if there is something already there. -MBK₀₀₄ 05:13, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you're referring to the USS Forrestal article, I effortlessly found an article that confirms why the ship was called the FID and what it stands for. I put both in parenthesis beneath the FID entry. My dad served on board the the Forrestal for five years and I have heard the ship called each of the mentioned nicknames plus "The Hot Lady", "The Modern Powderkeg" and "The Fire on Water," a parody of the song "Smoke on the water" among quite a long list of other fire-referent names referring to the very many fires the ship has had in its operating history. My dad even got injured during one of them in 1989. Bottom Line is that this area is now cited.

Copyright Issue Resolved. I found out what the problem was. I forgot to select "public domain" on the copyright status. I ended up replacing it with another heading because the newer version would not accept the copyright addition. The new file is File:Illinois-Indiana-Kentucky Tri-State Area imposed over WTVW Viewing Area Map-2.png This map was based on my original public domain map showing just the primary counties.

I noticed you added a hatnote to Montgomery County, Maryland, and then saw that you've done this to a number of county articles. Please don't do that - the county article titles are already unambiguous, containing the county and the state name, thus per WP:NAMB, should not contain hatnotes. One, for instance, would not accidentally land on Montgomery County, Maryland when searching for Montgomery County, Virginia. SchuminWeb (Talk) 10:19, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 21:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! I see you have been adding county numbers to the ledes of Indiana county articles. While I agree in general that this information is good for the article and should be added, I would suggest that it's really not important enough to appear in bold immediately after the name of the county. It seems like the kind of information that should go in the infobox. Would you agree? Omnedon (talk) 16:21, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, if I could, I would put it in the infobox. Rhatsa26X (talk) 16:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In Knox County, it was already mentioned in the infobox footnotes; so I've removed that from the lede. We can put this in the footnotes for all the other counties too. Omnedon (talk) 18:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had thought of that after I posted the above statement. After all, I was the one responsible for creating Knox County's Footnotes, along with the other counties of Southwestern Indiana. I was waiting for responses to it before expanding that project to include all of Indiana's Counties. But it seems that using the footnotes like I did for those 11 counties may be accpeted for the other 81 as well. The footnotes can also be used in the same manner as Knox County to put other seemingly benign information such as order of creation like in the case of Pike County or order of size and population like Vanderburgh County.

Now that my rework of the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference title list is complete, I am going to make this project my next priority: the moving of all county numbers that I have done from the article to the Infobox, as well as expanding the Southwestern Indiana Footnote Project. This will probably take most of the rest of the day, but should be done at a bare minimum, (i.e. the county number and maybe area rank if it seems a little obvious) by this evening. This will be done by county order, so latter counties like Washington or Tippecanoe may be a while. If you or anybody else want to contribute to this effort to make it go faster, it may get done sooner. I am going to this project underway as of 1630 CDT/1730 EDT (4:30/5:30) Rhatsa26X (talk) 21:31, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also I am using the following phrase for the county number indication:

| footnotes = Notes on Adams County, IN

• County 01 in Indiana's Alphanumeric System

This will direct the user to the list of Indiana Counties. as well as give the number, so the number can be verified, although I can pretty much give any county name to its number without even looking at it.Rhatsa26X (talk) 21:47, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Project Indiana Footnote Complete as of 1901 CDT/2001 EDT (7:01/8:01). All 92 Counties now have footnotes containing their respective county numbers, some have other miscellaneous information. Rhatsa26X (talk) 19:05 CDT 16 June 2010

Sorry, but I don't quite get your application of the term "Alphanumeric system". It's a numeric system -- each county has a number. Also, the list of counties is already linked in the Indiana navigation template. Omnedon (talk) 00:42, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A few suggestions... First, we may not need the text "Notes on X County", since that would be assumed in an article about "X County". Second, perhaps just the text "Indiana county number X" is all that's needed. Third, I am not sure that bold text is really needed in this case. What do you think? Adding these numbers to the articles is a good idea, though, IMO. Omnedon (talk) 00:50, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! I was just looking at the Template:Gibson County, Indiana and had a couple of questions. You recently added a link for "Calamity, Indiana" to that template, but I can find no record of any such town in Gibson County (or any other Indiana county). Do you have a source for this? The same applies to Snake Run, Gibson County, Indiana, for which you created an article; in looking at the map at the coordinates specified in the article, I see no evidence of any settlement; and I see a "Snake Run" at the USGS but it's a stream, not a town. Omnedon (talk) 12:03, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is a collection of houses located northeast of Owensville along old Indiana 65 it manly consists of several closely grouped homes and a large trailer park. It is known as Calamity Junction. Why it is called this even I do not know. As for Snake Run, It also does appear on some maps including the state map. Snake run even has signs along its length on Indiana 168 saying "SNAKE RUN". I have lived in this county for almost 16 years, and I get around the county a lot. Besides, Warrick County's got a lot of towns on it template that I have never heard of as well. They're probably extinct towns, like Skelton, which now mostly lies at the bottom of Gibson Lake. Rhatsa26X (talk) 08:26, 23 June 2010 (CDT)

As for Warrick County, all of the unincorporated towns listed on that template do appear in USGS data. The USGS database is not perfect, but it does tend to include even the tiniest settlements, some of which no longer exist; so since neither Snake Run nor Calamity Junction appear in the USGS data, some other source(s) would need to be cited to show that they exist as recognized settlements. Omnedon (talk) 15:09, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As a reminder, all edits must be verifiable to reliable sources. This is especially true for articles about TV shows when giving any details about unaired/future episodes. Your edit to Hannah Montana (season 4) added such episodes but no sources; accordingly, it has been reverted. —C.Fred (talk) 16:09, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Template:Metropolitan Areas in Indiana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

The article Frog Follies has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article does not satisfy WP:N.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
