Recent edit to History of soccer in the United States

edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content from History of soccer in the United States without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

I wanted to let you know that the Erin McLeod article is also eligible for WP:DYK as a newly-promoted GA, as long as it is nominated within five days of its promotion (by July 11). The system should be posting a message here for you shortly. Great work! Hmlarson (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Soccerfan1996, For the Erin McLeod DYK, would you be agreeable to Alt3a ? Or is there another suggestion at the discussion here that you would prefer? Thanks for helping work this out! Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 01:52, 18 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Mary Mark Ockerbloom, I like Alt3a. Thanks for the help! Soccerfan1996 (talk) 02:52, 18 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Erin McLeod

edit

On 18 July 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Erin McLeod, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Canadian football goalkeeper Erin McLeod (pictured) held her first solo art exhibit, entitled "Limitless", in 2013? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Erin McLeod. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Erin McLeod), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Women's Football / Soccer Task Force News: August 2017


Should the women's football task force become WikiProject: WOSO?

 

According to an op-ed in the recent Signpost, some editors think task forces and subgroups are dying in 2017.

What do you think about forming our own WikiProject separate from WP:FOOTY? There's an on-going discussion of the potential pros and cons on the task force talk page. Input is welcome.

Recent developments

New initiatives have been created for:

  • FA WSL (England's top-division league)
  • NCAA (American university teams, conferences, etc.)
  • W-League (Australia's top-division league)
Ongoing tournaments
Current and upcoming seasons for top-division leagues
Did you know?

While WP:FPL lists only two women's top-division leagues as notable due to its "fully professional" criteria, did you know you can create an article on any player in any league as long as the references meet WP:GNG guidelines? Make sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}.

Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page if you'd like and other editors may be able to help. Need tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? Leave a message on the task force talk page.

Thank you for your continued contributions to articles related to women's football / soccer (WOSO)!

Women's Football / Soccer Task Force News: April 2018

Hello WOSO editors! A few initiatives have been started with an emphasis on making more WOSO links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles.

If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, take a look at the initiatives listed in the box below. Sign up at the bottom of an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles ... or create your own initiative.

Did you know ...

WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in 1 active women's league)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. For more information, see WP:WOSO#Notability and be sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}

Hello WOSO editors!

What a year to be alive. As usual (but perhaps even moreso since there have been unexpected quarantines), there has been a lot of activity on player, team, league and tournament-related Wikipedia articles with all of the worldwide coverage of women's football / soccer. Great work!

Fall Focus: FA WSL articles

You may have noticed lots of great things going on for the top English league this year: the FA WSL. More (international!) broadcasts, top international player signings, improved media coverage, and increased viewership. Let's keep the momentum brewing, shall we?

Here's a sampling of articles that could use creation, expansion or updating. What will you commit to working on?

Historical Topics
Managers
Teams
Players
Other

See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Women's football task force/Initiatives/FA WSL to collaborate and organize with other editors.
