Featured articlesFront Page Feature The Wikipedia main page featured William Wurtenburg on December 24, 2015. This was an article I originally created on June 16, 2008. Thanks to all Wikipedia editors including @A Texas Historian:, @Jweiss11:, and others who also helped improve it. The article as it exists now looks so much better than what I made. I created the original article on June 16, 2008 as a part of a campaign to complete articles for every head football coach for United States Naval Academy. Coach Wurtenburg was head coach for the 1894 season and led the team to a record of 4 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. Their only loss that year was to Pennsylvania who ended the season as undefeated national champions. As you can tell by visiting the article page now, it has been greatly enhanced to include his coaching at Dartmouth and his time as a player at Yale where he was a part of the 1887 National Championship team, finishing with a record of 9 wins and 0 losses. After coaching, he became an official for college football. Around 1904, Wurtenburg began pursuing a career as a physician. He set up a medical office near his house in New Haven, Connecticut, and became an ear, nose and throat specialist where he lived until his death in 1957. It's truly rewarding to see an article that I started end up on the Wikipedia main page! Woo-hoo!!! Media of the DayA video I posted was declared Wikimedia's "Media of the Day" on September 17, 2015. Watch closely as the cheese monger at Whole Foods Market in Overland Park, Kansas cracks open a wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on March 9, 2013 (part of a 2013 world record attempt by Whole Foods Market). I recorded this video on March 9, 2013 and posted it the next day. It was a recording of one location where Whole Foods Market was attempting (and I believe succeeded) in setting a world record for the most number of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese at the same time. They were attempting this feat by using multiple stores and locations across their service footprint. The best part was that we all got to sample!

The 1890 Kansas vs. Baker football game was an American college football game between the Kansas Jayhawks football team of the University of Kansas and the Baker Wildcats football team of Baker University played on November 22, 1890 in Baldwin City, Kansas. The game ended with Baker winning 22–9.[5] It was the first college football game played in the state of Kansas.[6] Other fun stuffJerome Lester Horwitz (October 22, 1903 – January 18, 1952), better known by his stage name Curly Howard, was an American comedian and vaudevillian. He is best known as a member of the American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges, along with his older brothers Moe Howard and Shemp Howard, and actor Larry Fine. Curly is generally considered the most popular and recognizable of the Stooges. He is well known for his high-pitched voice, vocal expressions ("nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!","woo-woo-woo!", and barking like a dog), as well as his inventive physical comedy, improvisations, and athleticism. An untrained actor and natural comedian, Curly borrowed (and significantly exaggerated) the "woo woo" from "nervous" and soft-spoken comedian Hugh Herbert, but was otherwise an original and inspired performer. Curly's unique version of "woo-woo-woo" was firmly established by the time of the Stooges' second film Punch Drunks in 1934. Collaborate...Ward A. Wescott was an American football player and coach. Wescott played for the Oconto, Wisconsin town team in 1895 and played a game against the team that would become the Green Bay Packers. Wescott was both a player and trainer, receiving accolades for his abilities to teach the game as well as to play.[7] Wescott was the second head college football coach for the Carroll College (Wisconsin) Pioneers located in Waukesha, Wisconsin and he held that position for the 1896 season. Preliminary reports predicted a "lively" season.[8] Wescott's career coaching record at Carroll College was 5 wins, 3 losses, and 2 ties. This ranks him 17th at Carroll College in total wins and 12th at Carroll College in winning percentage.[9] Wescott's players were predicted as promising before the season began.[10] Controversy was stirred up after a game against Milwaukee East High School on October 17, 1896. Carroll won the game 4-0, but the oppossing team disputed the result.[11] The next season's game was cancelled because Carroll was regularly using "ringers" or players that were brought in to the team from outside the school specifically to win games.
