coaching tree
What is the consensus on the "coaching tree" section within coach articles? I know there has been dispute about it within the wikiproject, and you're reverting edits, so I figured I'd ask?--MooseBurgers511 (talk) 18:49, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
- @MooseBurgers511: Thanks for dropping me a message. The consensus on "coaching tree" sections is that in order to include one, we need to support it with multiple reliable third-party sources that substantively discuss a given coach's tree or legacy of coaching disciples. You can review the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Archive 23#Tree littering. Jweiss11 (talk) 02:00, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia Day is always a big day for Wikimedia NYC. While we cannot meet in person, we still have something special planned. We will begin the event with the debut of a new video celebrating our community. This will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the people you'll see in the video talking about Wikipedia's 20th anniversary, Wikimedia New York City, and the amazing work they do on Wikimedia projects.

Question regarding a potential article creation and original research
Hey Jweiss. I'm asking for your two cents on whether or not a potential article of mine would violate any of Wikipedia's policies on OR. The list-style article would document the transfer of wins since the first recognized intercollegiate football game in 1869. I struggle to explain the concept, so I'll give you an example. In 1869, Rutgers defeated Princeton 6 to 4. A week later, Princeton got revenge and beat Rutgers 8–0, therefore becoming the first winner of winners, or as I call it a "WOW". Princeton lost in 1876 to Yale, and so Yale become the new winner of winners because they defeated Princeton which defeated Rutgers. The title returned to Princeton in 1878 when they defeated Yale, and the new sequence would be Princeton as WOW because they beat Yale which beat Princeton which beat Rutgers (and so on).
This lineage of games continues all the way to the present day and has been held 317 times by 100 different schools, ranging from the most well known programs like your own Michigan Wolverines (who gained the title 8 times) to teams lost to history like the West Coast Army, San Diego Marines, and the Olympic Club... even UTEP won it once from Southern Miss in the 1954 Sun Bowl. Alabama is the current WOW, taking the distinction after beating Auburn in the Iron Bowl.
Now, I could find a primary source for each of the 317 contests to decide a WOW champion, and obviously I could not use the term "WOW" because I created it, but would this still violate OR because the concept is original? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Murphanian777 (talk)
- Yes, totally OR. Go write a blog post about it maybe. No-go for Wikipedia! Jweiss11 (talk) 04:56, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Help to start a new project
Hello,
I found an article on Fox News that (maybe) mentions your name https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wikipedia-bias-socialism-pages-whitewashed
Is this you? Or is this some one else?
There is also a Jonathan Weiss that is a professor in Colby college
https://www.encyclopedia.com/arts/educational-magazines/weiss-jonathan-m
And a bunch of other Jonathan's M/ Wise out there.
In any case, if it is you (please confirm).....
I agree that there is something wrong with wiki. I have been thinking on how to improve it. However, I am not versed enough in it and I might be missing important details of the problem. Would you have sometime to chat (your talk page is good) about your experience as an editor and what could be done to improve wiki? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.167.53.196 (talk) 23:18, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
