message: Hi,
So I went and edited the template the best I could for the new season and the Roughnecks.
I submitted the edit and when you go here Template:Calgary_Roughnecks_roster it shows my edit perfectly.
However, if you return to the Calgary Roughnecks page, it's as if I didn't touch it. I'm stumped.

message: For both 2016 NLL season and 2017 NLL season the scores for the playoff games are missing. 2015 has them so I was wondering why not now. Saying a team won a best of three series 2-0 or 2-1 with no scores doesn't seem helpful. LordAtlas (talk) 05:43, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Hartford Hawks lacrosse was saved from Speedy Deletion yesterday. Hopefully, the brand new editor will return to finish the article (if he hasn't decided after the CSD that Wikipedia is not worth the effort).  In the meantime, I've done what I can, but I know nothing about lacross or the Hartford Hawks.  If anyone else can make a few edits to save this article from a future threat of CSD, it would be beneficial. — Maile  (talk) 21:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello there Project Lacrosse,
I cleaned up and added sources to the Lacrosse at the Summer Olympics articles. I am looking for more contributors to review the articles and add material. The articles could really use more sources. Anybody with some newspaper archive expertise would be helpful. I do have one lead: The Baltimore Sun magazine section on April 5, 1951, June 26, 1955, and April 23, 1978 has articles on the 1928 Olympics. Thanks. PS Maybe it's time to archive some of these threads

#clearing the open and ongoing tasks except the most recent addition by Twooeight. The old Did you knows? could go too. 
#moving infoboxes, categories, maybe resources to subpages linked on the main page. 
#looking for a really good project page to use as an example. 
#reaching out to active members and soliciting new members with posts to the talk pages of major articles.

message: To the members of this project. Please see this thread Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Help with color overlap problem which is related to this article Israel men's national lacrosse team. We are wondering if there are any policies or guidelines that you follow that would help answering the question there, Thanks for your time. MarnetteD|Talk 19:54, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: No guideline. I think someone thought it would be cool to use the Israeli flag color. The lacrosse project is small and still working on basic issues like creating and expanding articles.

message: Hey all!
I am planning on having a WikiConference North America sports panel December 12 3:00 EST. This is something that has never been done before and there are many sports which are "native" to North America and part of the America identity. What it seems to be is that we (you, me, and other members of WikiSports) will be in a Zoom (or other video conferencing app) to discuss our experiences in editing sports on Wikipedia. These can range from combating vandalism to how to best get permission to use sports photos. The organizers of WikiConference North America (WCNA) created an Etherpad surrounding planning which I will link here. if you Command F "sports" you will find the section. This will be the very first panel WCNA has ever had on sports so not much to go off of here. 
Please ping me if you have questions as this page is not on my watchlist. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:43, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

message: I thought this was a done deal back in this 2022 RFC but obviously not. A handful of editors did another rfc with no sports projects input at all. And it's being challenged because we just noticed it. This could affect almost every single tennis and Olympic article we have, and goodness know how many other sports. Some may have already been moved it you weren't watching the article. And not just the article titles will be affected but all the player bios that link to the articles. Sure the links would be piped to the right place if thousands of articles moved, but if the wording in a bio still said 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles or Swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metre backstroke that would likely need to be changed by hand. There is also talk of removing the ndash completely.
Perhaps this is what sports projects want and perhaps not. Either way I certainly don't want projects ill-informed as the last RfC was handled. Express your thoughts at  the following rfc. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:00, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
