So, I created Jalen Johnson and Jeremy Roach pages who are Duke commits. I added a few references for both of them and I was wondering if you can expand on their pages. Thanks!

College playersThanks for the heads up. I have created Grant Riller. I will tackle Tyler Bey tomorrow. Keep up the good work and always let me know of potential collaborations. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 00:12, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
If you guys are looking for something to do, give Nico Carvacho of Colorado State a try. He led the country in rebounding last year and became the Mountain West all-time leader earlier this year. He is a red link on the season rebounding leader template as well as several other pages where that turns up. I’ve had him on my list for a long time and can’t ever find the time to create it Rikster2 (talk) 21:16, 13 January 2020 (UTC) I have created three more drafts, Draft:John Mooney (basketball), Draft:Nathan Knight and Draft:Joseph Girard III, if anyone is interested. Also, the college career sections of Draft:Markell Johnson and Draft:Marcus Carr need to be created. Sportzeditz (talk) 00:03, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
All of these have been created, except for Joseph Girard, who I'm not sure is notable as of yet. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 18:35, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
Another player who is definitely notable is Jalen Harris. If anyone is interested, feel free to add to it. The college career section for Fatts Russell needs expansion. Sportzeditz (talk) 19:11, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
A few more drafts that anyone can take up if interested: Draft:Olivier Sarr, Draft:Goodluck Okonoboh, NesmithThanks for restoring Draft:Aaron Nesmith I was able to find four more reliable sources (Hence why I started a draft) and I'll go through ESPN+'s draft coverage to see if there's anything substantial as well. He might now pass GNG although I think it's probably best if it's in the draft space for a while. Let me know if you ever need help with any basketball articles and keep up the good editing.

There's probably enough for the notability bar, since he had a massive season for St. Joseph's even though they were horrible last year. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 21:23, 21 July 2020 (UTC) Yanni WetzellHey it would be great if you could find a pic for Yanni Wetzell, the former Vanderbilt and San Diego State player. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 18:49, 5 August 2020 (UTC) New pagesHere are some more articles to work on that probably meet GNG: Draft:Noah Locke, Draft:Tre Mitchell, Draft:Justin Moore (basketball), Draft:David McCormack (basketball), Draft:Chaundee Brown, Draft:Patrick Tapé, Draft:Jalen Hill, Draft:Cody Riley.

Onel5969 TT me 13:49, 6 September 2020 (UTC) You're a beast!Hey Sportzeditz, just wanted to say [a] you're a beast at cranking out well-written, well-sourced contemporary college basketball player articles, and [b] was wondering if you'd be interested in tackling a handful of notable historical players? WikiProject College Basketball's goal is to eventually have articles on every all-time NCAA Division I conference player of the year. As of today, only two POY list-articles (ECC POY & SWC POY) of defunct Division I conferences still contain red links. In other words, once they're complete, they're complete. No need to worry about keeping up with article creations every single year. I used to have a lot more time to crafting full-fledged articles, and I still try to jump in when possible, but my torch has been mostly passed by now. If you're ever feeling up to it, because believe me I know that editing is a volunteer gig, WP:CBBALL would love your help in tackling those red links. No matter your decision, keep up the great work. SportsGuy789 (talk) 17:20, 24 October 2020 (UTC) Your draft article, Draft:Goodluck Okonoboh Hello, Sportzeditz.

Your GA nomination of Caitlin ClarkThe article Caitlin Clark you nominated as a good article has passed Crossover at KinnickI bought a ticket for the Crossover at Kinnick, but was unable to attend. I did watch the event. I took a look at the main article on the Iowa Hawkeyes and saw a single sentence about the event, and decided to expand. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until after I had written up a couple paragraphs that you would started a separate article about the event. I still think the main article Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball deserves more than a single sentence, but had I seen the standalone article I might have handled it differently. I am happy to discuss what if anything could be done in case something needs to be done. S Philbrick(Talk) 18:42, 17 October 2023 (UTC) Jaz ShelleyThanks for the excellent work you did on Jaz Shelley. I thought the available photo was not up to par with the overall quality of the article so I reached out to the Nebraska athletic department and they graciously provided a very nice photo which I just added to the article.

Latson article and photoThanks for the crop you applied to Ta'Niya Latson. I'm a neophyte when it comes to photo editing and I knew we had a crop tool, but I couldn't remember exactly where it was so I turned to other things while I thought about how best to find it. I contacted the Florida State athletic department to get that photo because I saw you did a great job on the article and thought it deserved a photo. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:09, 7 November 2023 (UTC) Hey Sportzeditz! Came across this page on Gabe Cupps a couple weeks ago and did some cleanup, but it still requires a lot more. I'm just dropping this here in case you're interested, seeing as you've created tons of other great articles on athletes. Cheers!

Honorable mention honorsHey Sportzeditz, I was hoping to get your thoughts on this. I have long understood that honorable mention All-American honors do not get put infoboxes, but I feel like I have seen it more and more as of late, both in men's and women's articles: (Max Abmas, Saddiq Bey, Tucker DeVries, Ron Harper Jr., Mason Jones, Sam Merrill, David Roddy, Wade Taylor IV, Marcus Zegarowski, Bella Alarie, Kierstan Bell, Monika Czinano, Rennia Davis, Jasmine Dickey, Aaliyah Edwards, etc.) I admit that I don't hate the look of it, especially when done in the "All-American – AP" format, but this does not comply with our style manual, correct?

Precious anniversary
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:48, 28 April 2024 (UTC) NBA vs WNBA edits - penny for your thoughts?Hi Sportzeditz! Would love to pick your brain on NBA vs WNBA edits. I had been working on adding citations and formatting the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award page in the style of other WNBA post-season award pages (see WNBA Most Improved Player Award or WNBA Most Improved Player Award). However, given the increasing interest in the WNBA, there now seems to some crossover in WNBA and NBA edits and editors. So, now the WNBA ROTY award has been thoroughly re-formatted in the style of the NBA Rookie of the Year Award and all citations I had been adding to article removed. Is there a consensus on NBA vs WNBA formatting and table formatting? Still learning my way through the WNBA wiki editing standards and would appreciate any thoughts and insight you have. Thanks! Mariacricket (talk) 01:15, 28 September 2024 (UTC) Caitlin ClarkHi. I don't usually follow sports, or sports articles on WP, but I have noticed Clark's accomplishments to date and the attention she receives. I am writing to you because you nominated the article for FA and succeeded in promoting it -- congratulations on that. To match the high quality of the earlier sections of the article, I think the newer material in the article needs some attention from someone like you who knows how to write high-quality sports articles. Her WNBA season discussion is currently in "Clark did this, then she did that" format. It needs more analysis and discussion of the interesting issues surrounding her rookie season. There was a furor regarding why she was not selected for the Olympic team (and how she would presumably have brought more attention/viewers to the WNBA team's games at the Olympics). Other major topics of discussion throughout the season centered on her influence on attendance and viewership of WNBA games both at home and away, race issues, including bad behavior by her supposed fans (and her reaction to this), the treatment of Clark herself by other players, Clark's (I think) extraordinary grace in discussing her interactions with fans, teammates and non-teammate players, all of which were extensively covered in the press. Plus some discussion of how she became a leader of the Fever so quickly and strongly influenced their playing style and success as a team; and I think it is worth noting that in interviews and post-game conferences throughout the season, she almost always mentioned that her goal was to get the team to the playoffs. I'm sure there are other fascinating issues about her professional career so far that you know about, but I have missed or that would jump out from a review of the press coverage during the season. On the other side of the coin, it seems likely that, as her professional career goes on, and there is more and more to say about it, the discussion of her college career could be trimmed/streamlined a little, per WP:BALASP. Just a thought. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 09:21, 5 October 2024 (UTC) ArbCom 2024 Elections voter messageHello!
