Casey Parks

As a graduate of Millsaps College I feel I have EVERY right to edit the notable alumni page. Casey Parks is not a notable alum of Millsaps College, she went there and won a contest. She was not liked and does not deserve to be considered a notable alum. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.107.131.7 (talk) 17:39, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Because she MAY have not been liked, she shouldn't be included in the notable alum? Ridiculous! See WP:NPOV. She is notable as a national journalist and having won a major national journalism contest. End of story. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 01:48, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

2007 Trinity vs. Millsaps football game

Hello, thank you for rating 2007 Trinity vs. Millsaps football game. I can certainly understand the "low importance" rating, but I am a bit surprised by the "start class" rating. I would have thought that the article is "B class" already. Could you please point out a few things that you think might be needed to achieve the higher rating? Thanks very much, Johntex\ 00:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

There's still more info that needs to be added. Mainly, there are news media reports of why the "5 or 6 Millsaps players just quit".. being that after the last lateral, when the ball hit the ground, they thought that meant the play was dead because it became an incomplete pass, in their minds anyway. Had they thought it was still in play, it's doubtful the touchdown would have been made as when Curry picked the ball up off the field, he was surrounded by Millsaps players. I've added and cleaned it up a bit since, but I think there's much more meat out there for it. A screen capture image would be nice too. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 02:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes, there is definitely more that can be added, no doubt about that. I am sure that the article will continue to improve. However, it seems to me that the standard for "B Class" has been met. From Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Mississippi/Assessment#Quality_scale:

Criteria: Commonly the highest article grade that is assigned outside a more formal review process. Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a comprehensive article. Nonetheless, it has some gaps or missing elements or references, needs editing for language usage and/or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) or No Original Research (NOR). With NPOV a well written B-class may correspond to the "Misplaced Pages 0.5" or "usable" standard. Articles that are close to GA status but don't meet the Good article criteria should be B- or Start-class articles.

Reader's experience: Useful to many, but not all, readers. A casual reader flipping through articles would feel that they generally understood the topic, but a serious student or researcher trying to use the material would have trouble doing so, or would risk error in derivative work.

Editor's experience: Considerable editing is still needed, including filling in some important gaps or correcting significant policy errors. Articles for which cleanup is needed will typically have this designation to start with.

I think that the article comfortably meets the above criteria.

With regards to the screen capture, there is really no point in adding one. Misplaced Pages policy has been taken over by people who are rabidly against fair use images. A fair use screen capture would just get deleted.

Now, if you happen to know someone at the game, or if you could convince either school/team to give us a free use photo, that would certainly enhance the article. However, we have to remember that images are never a criteria for an advanced article rating. They are not even required for featured articles.

With the above specified criteria as to what constitutes a "B Class" article, I hope you will reconsider your opinion of the rating. Best, Johntex\ 14:52, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Chris Crocker. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. This was discussed prior on the talk and doesn't need to be reverted again. ZacBowling 02:38, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

You idiot, I've edited that article once since October 19. What's today, October 30? So, 1 revert in 10 days and you accuse me of 3RR and an edit war??? Take your 3RR and stick it up your ass. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 02:44, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Trolling at the AN/I

I rem,oved your comment here if you have a problem with an admin and want to bring it to the attention of other admins then you need to start a new section and describe the problem there. Having sly diggs without evidence counts as a personal attack. Please dson't do that. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 06:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I can comment on anything just like anyone else can. My opinion counts too. It always amazes me anytime someone else has an opinion that admins don't like, it's immediately labeled trolling, disruption and anything else they can glean out of WP policy and guideline. But thanks for your concern. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 13:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Signature

There is a problem with your signature. The rendering is done with hard hex codes, which do not render well for users with low vision who use special css. I would urge you to drop the "funky" formatting and simplify your signature so that utility is not degraded for visually impaired users. Thank you. Guy (Help!) 18:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the concern. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 04:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I've contacted Ally magazine's legal department. It seems your just a sore fag because your a wiki editor and not part of something successful. I hope ALly gets on your ass.
