Mississippi State Baseball season articles

Hi Jay! Thanks for your contributions to Mississippi State baseball, specifically the 2012 Mississippi State Bulldogs baseball team . It's a great start, thanks for your hard work! I did notice that you relied heavily on HailState.com. That's OK, but I just wanted to let you know that as a primary source, it isn't considered a reliable source. Third party sources carry more weight and since many of these references are essentially re-reporting another site such as Baseball America, it would help the article's staying power to use the original references. I greatly look forward to the addition of older seasons, I may be of help uncovering some old sources from way back when. Thanks again for your hard work!Jacona (talk) 10:40, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NCAA Tournament Grid

Hi,

I read your message and I think I was able to make the changes that you requested. Could you please make adjustments if I failed at what you wanted. Thanks GoWarriors151718 (talk) 23:48, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I can do that. Thanks. Jay Jor (talk) 23:53, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jay Jor: I tried my hand at updating the records but somehow I think my numbers are off because I think there are more wins on the board than losses. Can you help me with that as well. Thanks. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 00:01, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GoWarriors151718: Thanks for the heads up and thanks for checking that wins and losses should be equal. That is a requirement that some people just don't check. Another requirement is that wins and losses equal the total number of games played. Rather than just trying to count them, using a little arithmetic makes it easier. There are 16 regionals with a minimum of 6 games each. There are exactly six regionals that played a seventh game, i.e., the regional final was 2 games instead of just 1 game. So, 10*6+6*7=102. You will see that with my last change, there are 102 wins and 102 losses. Old Dominion and Virginia have one more game to play in the regionals. It will be simple enough to include the result of that one game after it is completed, undoubtedly, today. Oh, and there must have been a late game that put a PAC-12 team into a Super Regional increasing the PAC-12 from 1 to 2 for the SR column. Jay Jor (talk) 12:41, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, 2023 Southeastern Conference softball season, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it has been moved to Draft:2023 Southeastern Conference softball season where you can continue to work on it. Please consider using the Article Wizard or the Articles for Creation procedure. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read "Your first article". You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 22:03, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Taking Out The Trash I just saw this now. I thought I was editing it, instead I ended recreating it. Sorry about that. I thought it would be okay to create a stub. I have seen numerous articles through the decades I have been using Wikipedia. I was in the process of trying to develop a template to use on that new page I created. I was intending to expand on it after I finished with the template. You were a little quick on the draw. I see no reason that I can not continue developing the template even though the page has been move to Draft namespace. I apologize for recreating it, but I did not realize I was doing that until it had happened. Jay Jor (talk) 22:11, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are certainly welcome to continue working on it in draftspace, in fact that's what you are supposed to do. It is generally frowned upon to have pages in mainspace without any written prose, so try to make sure that the article is at least mostly developed before publishing in the future. Sorry for stepping on your toes. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 22:13, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Taking Out The Trash Okay. Thanks. Jay Jor (talk) 22:23, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Taking Out The Trash For future reference, I would suggest posting a message to someone's talk page suggesting that the page be moved to Draft namespace, then give it maybe 24 hours, before doing anything else, especially a speedy delete request. Fortunately I had not made extensive changes and I was able to go back to the original page, anyway, and verify the changes I had made before it was deleted. It is possible that extensive changes could have been lost. I know that's no sweat for you, but the template I was working on was very extensive. I had been creating new pages and templates in sandboxes, but there is a fairly large template that chains to other templates. Once I had finished working on them to my satisfaction, it was problematic going back and changing everything from sandboxes to Main namespace and Template namespace. I have been, by career and education, a Computer Programmer, but it was not for Wikipedia, so it's still somewhat of a learning experience. By the way, the draft ending up having one of the template calls duplicated, and I don't think they are exact duplicates, which is weird, but I got what I need now, so no problem except for time and effort. Thanks, again. Jay Jor (talk) 23:30, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
