[edit] Hey

I am just starting to roll along as a wikipedian. I plan to be heavily involved in the Wikiproject:College Football. Just leave any questions, comments, or death threats here and I will answer them. Bornagain4

• Hello, welcome to the college football project! As I mention on the project talk page, I think we need to agree on some standards before we start splitting out pages. Please see the project talk page for discussion and to share your views. Thanks! Johntex\^talk 20:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Thank you for your message on my talk page and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm glad you have joined our new college football project.

I would agree with what Johntex said above - it's probably not a good idea to split things without some consideration in there. If there is an athletics article where the football section has grown too large or where its presence in the athletics article is inhibiting further expansion, that's the time to split. Ideally, all of the school football sections will get there eventually. If it's a page where there are people actively contributing, it really needs to be discussed on the talk page before any action is taken ... that way, revert wars are avoided.

Thank you for your kind words [1] -- BigDT 21:53, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Hinkle and football

I noticed you put the {{WikiProject College football}} tag on Talk:Tony Hinkle. While Hinkle did coach football and baseball for a time at Butler, he fame comes from his many years as a successful basketball coach. As a football or baseball coach, his acheivements were quite minor, and you would be hard pressed to find any record of them. Thanks. --rogerd 22:45, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

I created this template.

[edit] Maintenance

To make the maintenance links work, you need to add a subpage to your user directory, like this one: User:TheMile/maintenance

Keep in mind, they might not be widely used anyway; I might remove myself eventually. See the discussion here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_football#Standard format for season pages. TheMile 02:19, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday!

Just a happy Birthday message to you, Bornagain4, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day!

Hungry? Here's a little snack for you on your birthday, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day, Bornagain4!

Have a good one :) -Ladybirdintheuk 06:32, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Wishing you all the best on your birthday! From the Wikipedia Birthday Committee.

Many happy returns!

[edit] Michigan Schedule

"I had changed the links in the schedule of 2006 Michigan Wolverines football team to link to the university's atletics page but you changed it back."

Er, I did? Look again, I actually changed the other schools to match what you did. -TheMile 19:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Well, it's nice to meet you - and thanks for letting me know about WP:NARNIA. I've done several edits in the past with with Narnia, as you know, and have some minor (learn-as-you-go) experience with various templates. My primary focus will continue to be on WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases, but I'll certainly be glad to help out with Narnia, as I can.  :) Ah, if only I had enough time to join the Middle-earth and Harry Potter WikiProjects as well, but that's life, I guess.

By the way, as I'm sure you've already guessed from my user name, I am also a born-again Christian.  :) Lots of us around Wikipedia if you know where to look.

Anyway, thanks again for letting me know about the Narnia WikiProject. --Tim4christ17 02:36, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Narnia Userbox

Take a look at User:Tim4christ17/Template:Narnia character and User:Tim4christ17/Template:NarniaColor. You can see them previewed at User:Tim4christ17/Template Test. They are still works in progress, but I should have them finished sometime today. --Tim4christ17 21:01, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• I've finished work on the Userbox for now - it's in the two templates listed above - let me know what you think. The remaining three colors (Unused 1, 2, and 3) can be used for something else or just removed from the template. Let me know what you think about that

Also, the colors themselves should probably be changed a little to avoid duplication with the Stargate userboxes. I don't know anything about those hexadecimal colors, so I'm going to leave them for now, but if someone wants to change them, he can go ahead. --Tim4christ17 23:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - I've just put the templates on the WikiProject Narnia main page...going to transfer the information from my Userspace there now. I'll wait for a few comments before implementing it in any articles, though. --Tim4christ17 23:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I've just moved the templates to {{Narnia character}} and {{NarniaColor}} respectively. And feel free to try out the templates using my Template Test area --Tim4christ17 00:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't know...we don't want to get a list of all the books the character's been in, do we? --Tim4christ17 00:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Peter's in 3 books (major character in 2), and if I remember correctly - and Reepicheep's in 4 (though only a major character in 2). Hmm...I guess we could do that afterall... I'll change it and see how it works. We can always change it back if it doesn't work out. --Tim4christ17 00:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Could you stop using the sample for just a second? I seem to have made a minor mistake when I was editing the template and need to find it. Thanks --Tim4christ17 00:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Error's fixed.  :) Now the template can handle both multiple family members and multiple books/movies.  :) --Tim4christ17 00:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't know what the problem is...the bar scales out properly when there's a picture in it....but in Zipacna (Stargate) that one works just fine without a picture - and I have no idea which difference between the original Stargate template and the modified Narnia template would account for the problems in Trumpkin.  :( --Tim4christ17 05:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Thank you for your invite, and now I have join the WikiProject Narnia. I have read your user page, do you know, my English name is Andrew, too! Also, I am a Protestant Christian and I hope I can met a Christian friend in internet. Can you give me your e-mail address? Let's keep in touch. This is my e-mail address: andrewtamkp@yahoo.com.hk--Dr.Tam 07:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

Very nice.  :) --Tim4christ17 16:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Hello. Thank you for your invitation to join the Wikiproject Narnia. I would love to join it. Where do I sign up and what do I do? Thanks again.--Chili14 00:25, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weird...

Regarding your noticing that I had edited an article relating to the Chronicles of Narnia, I actually have no recollection of doing so, nor is there any record of it on my "my contributions" page. I am a great fan of Lewis (although recently I've read more of his theological works than I have Narnia), but I actually read articles much more than I edit them (I generally don't do much more than correcting typo's I find and commenting on talk pages).

[edit] WikiProject_Narnia

Is that so...? *grin* -- nae'blis 21:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for invitation to Narnia Wikiproject

I'm currently reading the books for the third time so I think that I'm familiar with the subject :) But there is a little problem - I'm reading them in Polish so sometimes I can mispronounce names of characters and/or places (because they are a little bit different in Polish translation). I will generally try to improve existing articles with adding more information to them. May the Lord bless You.

Migatu 21:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I'll do it - but Polish Wikipedia is far more deletionist than english - so it will be long and painfull process.... :) But we have some Narnia related articles - so I know where to start :) Migatu 07:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Seven Great Lords of Narnia

Hello,

Just added the The Seven Great Lords of Narnia page as a reult of typing it all out under the Dawn Treader page and realising it didn't really fit there. Is there anyway of tagging up the talk page with something along the lines of 'if you have a page that might want to link to this information, here it is'? I'm going to have a look around the Voyage of The Dawn Treader and the List of Characters in Narnia pages anyway, but a group effort might spread a bit further... drop me a message if you've any ideas!

Cheers,Curiousbadger 11:33, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Narnia Newsletter March 2007

WikiProject Narnia Newsletter Issue 1 - 2nd March 2007 . Written by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs)
WikiProject Narnia News The WikiProject has been a little quiet lately. There are still quite a lot of Narnia stubs. It has been nearly three months since we last worked on Minor characters in The Chronicles of Narnia, which still looks very much like a draft page. That would be a nice article to get into the main namespace. Good and Featured Articles First Battle of Beruna has been listed as a GA. Our only FA at the moment is Narnian timeline. Other news WikiProject Narnia's first newsletter issue has been published. You're looking at it right now! Member News We are now proud of having PiratesArCool (talk • contribs), Mimepants (talk • contribs) and Johann1870 (talk • contribs) on our team. Good luck! To-do Add characters and bios to minor character draft page. Expand Narnia stubs. Place links to the Narnia Portal on article pages by using {{portal|Narnia}}. Add the stub template {{Narnia-stub}} to articles in the category Category:Stub-Class Narnia articles so that there are the same number of articles in Category:Narnia stubs. Link the first mention of a year in all Narnia-related articles to Narnian timeline. Rewrite character articles to use the Narnian character example article format. Adopt an article and improve it to the best of your ability. Wikify The Chronicles of Narnia article, especially the new lead and Narnian Universe sections	From the founder I am proud to present our first issue of the WikiProject Narnia Newsletter. I decided that we needed to alert everybody who had expressed interest in the project that there is much work to be done! Please check in every once in a while at the project talk page, and tell other project members what you've been up to in terms of Narnia articles. Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || Article of the Month: Edmund Pevensie Edmund Pevensie is a major character in The Chronicles of Narnia. He appears as a principal character in three of the seven books. Edmund was the second to enter Narnia, although he tried to betray his siblings to the White Witch. However, Edmund managed to help save Narnia by neutralizing the White Witch's most powerful weapon, her wand. Collaboration of the Month: Shasta (Narnia) Shasta is currently quite short and not much of his background has been mentioned. The article also lacks images – but make sure if you upload one, you include a FU rationale. Contribute!
