message: ... before Sphilbrick got to work, this article on a coach of the stature of VanDerveer was the next thing to a stub??  And now, the DYK aside, it's GA-level at least?  Very well done.   Ravenswing   01:57, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I hadn't seen your comment, just the article via DYK, where it struck me that this wasn't a Stub article. I may very well be C or even B, perhaps GAC. I didn't look into it in any more detail than to determine that it was definitely higher than Stub-Class. -- Nczempin (talk) 06:36, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is it really true that ... 

message: The 1981-82 season is listed in the info box as a Big Ten Championship. This seemed to conflict with the media guide which referred to 1982-83 as the first year of the Big ten (for women). I wrote to someone at the Big Ten, who confirmed "The 1981-82 season is a Big Ten Championship for Ohio State, which will also be reflected in our 2012-13 media guide." I'll add a ref when it comes out, and update the coaching box then. I won't bother changing the info box, just to change it back.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 13:44, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Media guide has been released, and it now reflects the 1981–82 results. I updated the coaching box, as noted, the info box does not need changing.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 16:08, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The infobox, the inline text, and the tables all have completely different numbers for her total number of career coaching wins. I can't, for the life of me, figure out what's accurate, since things are all over the place. Given that Geno Auriemma has a shot at tying Pat Summitt on the win list on Thursday, it'd be ideal if that can be straightened out before then.

replies: text: Yeah... and if it was that simple, I'd have just fixed it myself. But I'm getting contradictory information from said sources. It looks really strange to have two different numbers in the infobox and the table in the article, and I don't know college sports well enough to get into the weeds of which one is correct (win totals can get weirdly complicated, with e.g. teams retroactively forfeiting wins due to misconduct, teams changing division and conference). So I figured someone who knew this better than me could take a look so we can get it right in the article too; I don't know how it'd be possible for her to simultaneously have 1,088 and 1,103 wins.

replies: text: Keeping the details stats up to date on a wiki page for an active sportsperson is a lot of work.  It's probably better to get it from the news sites or espn.com.  But we should keep the page up to date.  And even your news above is out-of-date.  Thursday's game has been cancelled.  --John (User:Jwy/talk) 07:27, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that'll have to wait until Saturday. If I can't figure this out I'm sure some WikiProject will be able to take another look. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 12:57, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Victory totals 

message: The section about Ohio State is terrible.  It talks about the crowd at one single game.  Who cares.  It should be about what she did and what she accomplished during her tenure there.  Someone really needs to update it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.27.94.61 (talk) 00:18, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not appreciating the problem. The largest crowd in history (to that date) seems like a notable event. Of course the coaches not fully responsible for the attendance but played a large role in it seems quite relevant.  S Philbrick(Talk) 14:57, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ohio State 

message: The college head-coaching record table includes 1995 – 96, which is an error because while that is the correct record for the school Tara took a year off for the Olympics. The table for the school correctly includes this year and correctly identifies that Amy Tucker and Marianne Stanley with the head coaches that year.
It doesn't make sense to keep the year in and add a note that Tara wasn't the coach that year. My current thinking is that I should remove the year but leave a gap to visually indicate that something is missing. The good news is that the numbers for that year were not accidentally included in the totals although there are other problems with the totals that I'm pursuing. For example, the record for 2015 – 16 is shown as 28 – 8, which does match the value shown on the school's website but doesn't match NCAA numbers. I think it's simply a mistake. I've written to the school to ask for clarification but I plan to change it to 27 – 8.
The subtotals were also mangled which I will fix.
I'm open to thoughts on the best way to handle the 1995 – 96 year if you think it should be something other than removing and leaving a gap. S Philbrick(Talk) 14:55, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I did get a response form the Stanford Athletic department, confirming my assumption that the correct record in 1995 – 96 is 27–8, and I have made the change to the table. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:11, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought I could figure out how to leave a blank space between 1994 – 95 and 1996 – 97, but I failed. I now just blanked out the data for that season. I am  not entirely comfortable with that and happy to hear better solutions. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:37, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
