Creating Better Pages for Teams and Schools

Posted by DNL

With the new design, the old team formats -- check out Boston Celtics -- are exceptionally crappy. Sooo.......

I'm going to redo them all. Yes, all of them. There are probably 1000 or so, when you include MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, CFL, HBO, MTV, Colleges, MLS, EPL, etc. teams.

I've done... half of one. The New York Mets. Some people have offered to take a team or two, and I come today BEGGING for each of you to take another team or two.

I don't expect you to go into the same level of detail I did -- or, have done so far -- with the Mets, or what Thecrookedcap did with the Philadelphia Phillies. And I don't expect you to go it alone. Just get it to the point where it makes sense, covers all the basics, etc. You know, so in case someone comes along and wants to update or add to the page, they're not left with a basically blank slate.

Here's what I want y'all to do:

  1. Put a comment up telling everyone what team (just choose one for now!) you want to work on. If someone else signed up for that team, reply to them, saying you'll help.
  2. Copy over the format 'cap and I used, and start plugging away.
  3. Ask other fans of the team for help. Ask non-AGMers, even.
  4. Ask bloggers of your team for help -- because they talk to a lot of fans of your team. For example, if you're working on the Giants, the guys at The McCovey Chronicles can probably find you some helpers.
  5. Rinse. Repeat.

Thanks! And here's to a kick-ass 2008!

Oh, and let me know when you're working on it :)

One thousand four hundred considering all the Division III schools are still on the old, old, old team format from when I first joined. Eesh. That took a long time... How about I just take the Milwaukee Brewers for now?

Side note: someone who's not up on their homonyms is going to get really freaked out reading the title to this post.

Don't worry, Dan. I already said a prayer for Kenrick. I feel better about myself now.

Awesome! Try and find some Dbacks fans to help out. 4 MLB teams down, 26 to go!

Yankees Dan, although I have some work changes coming up the next couple of weeks which may severely impact my free time. We'll see how it goes.

I'll do the Red Sox. I thought this would be taken by now. I guess not. I will probably get working on it in a couple of days.

If you need any help with the pages, guys, your boy is always here. Well, except for Friday-Saturday (going back to Kuwait).

Here are my first attempts for the Arsenal page, UserWiki:Pittsburgh Gunny, lemme know if I am on the right track. The hard part of filling in all the detail will be coming.

I am pretty sure I am the only Clemson fan here, so I will do them. Although, it will have to be spread out over a while with school starting back up here next week.

There's no rush to do it, but don't do it alone -- find other Clemson fans to help. It's a lot of work to do it solo.

I'm going to try and do one for the Atlanta Braves once spring training gets under way. January's a dead time for baseball and so I'll wait for the Grapefruit League to get cooking. BTW, good luck at Clemson, Happyskinny!
