Talk:Oregon Ducks

message: Hi, I am trying to make a page for Janie Takeda, who graduated in 2015 from Oregon and is currently on the USA softball team. Many great athletes have come out of Oregon and it would be great to see where those athletes are now and the success they've had in their careers. Rookie minor and major league baseball players get wikipedia pages for just being on a team. By making this page, I am opening up the softball community and others to the stars we have growing at universities and the influence they have on their fans. I would really appreciate some feedback on making this page and any ideas about other college athletes who deserve their own page! --Frivera14 (talk) 21:23, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: * Since i'd be making this page from the start, I would put her stats from her Oregon career along with any personal information that involves her education, family, birthday etc. --Frivera14 (talk) 22:44, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

message: Sad that this article doesn't have a section about Oregon's rich track and field and cross-country history. Even a table of the championships would be great. I know, WP:SOFIXIT; but in case someone comes here to add that the Ducks just won the 2007 cross country title, note that there's no place to put it yet. --Esprqii (talk) 01:11, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

message: On the page it says that the main rivalries are the OSU Beavers and the Washington Huskies (citation needed). I dispute the citation needed. If you live in Oregon, this is widely known.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.223.6.162 (talk) 17:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if something is "common knowledge", on Wikipedia it needs a citation to a reliable source. Otherwise the articles would become filled up with all sorts of speculation and inaccuracies. If it is widely known, it should be easy enough to find a reliable source that mentions the rivalry. Also, remember that Wikipedia is read by people outside of Oregon, and that not everyone in Oregon follows sports. Katr67 (talk) 19:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I've moved the football season-by-season recaps to the Ducks football main page. It is a much more appropriate location for it, since this is the page for the entire athletic department. If that was allowed to continue on this page, this page would spiral out of control, especially if other sports started sprouting seasonal recaps. I would argue that the uniforms section should probably be moved as well, and the achievements be merged into a writeup about a brief history of the football program. I would also not be against removing the text of the season recaps entirely from the Ducks football page and instead have just a list of seasons, with the current text as the introductory paragraph for the respective pages.Cluskillz (talk) 19:13, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have rewritten the football section, moving the Uniforms section to Oregon Ducks football page and merging the Achievements section into paragraph form. I have also rewritten the basketball section since, like the football section, had seasonal updates. Both sections now refer to the basic histories and information of the programs, leaving specific information for their respective pages. Both are pretty brief and can use some expanding, but preferably not too specific like the season recaps...just focus on the major milestones. The basketball section I overwrote seems to already be duplicated on the basketball page, so no information appears to have been lost.Cluskillz (talk) 17:33, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Surprised that there is not mention of the controversy regarding the university's decision to drop wrestling.  For those unfamiliar with the situation, the university chose to drop wrestling after the 2007-2008 season.  There was a tremendous outcry from the wrestling community about the decision, especially since there were no reasons for Title IX to play a factor and the decision coincided with the announcement to add baseball and women's competitive cheerleading.  Last I heard, the wrestlers sued the university, claiming that state law and university policy was violated, but the judge ruled against them in October 2008.
Any news since then about the situation?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.74.12.14 (talk) 15:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

message: While the football team does have an interesting and somewhat famous set of colors, that doesn't mean that the school has changed its colors to include gray. The official colors are green and yellow, per this link. Please don't add "gray" as a school color on this page. If you want to update the Oregon Ducks football article to include a list of all the colors they've used on uniforms, that would be more appropriate, though again, the official colors haven't changed. Thanks! --Esprqii (talk) 19:47, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

message: So it rains a lot.  I get that.  But "Ducks" is hardly a common mascot choice, and I think it's a shame that the article does not speak to the history of its usage.  Was it adopted in the 1970s, when Oregon was openly discouraging people from moving there (remember the greeting cards:  You can tell when summer comes to Oregon . . . the rain gets warmer", or does it go back decades or what?  What's the story? 74.178.230.234 (talk) 03:08, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: They were the Webfoots originally, and Ducks gradually replaced it. Early 1900s? Webfoots came out of the 1890s and was a common name in the Pacific Northwest (The Portland Webfoots played professional baseball, etc).128.193.162.56 (talk) 03:42, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I experimented with adding a timeline to the section on Oregon Ducks #National championships.
For layout reasons, I did it as two timelines, as seen at right.  
I wasn't convinced it justified the screen real estate it added so I gave up and am placing  it here in case some other editor wants to experiment.  67.100.127.170 (talk) 02:45, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
