Conference maps

Hey Mdak06,

Thanks for your advice! I read what you said and I agree that the maps were a little too personalized. I guess I just prefer more stylized graphics. To correct this, I changed the ocean color to grey and wrote all of the names in black. I did, however keep the colored dots because I feel it's important to note the division affiliations within the conference, especially with states like North Carolina in the ACC, where there are two members in each division from the state, and the map at the top of the page doesn't specify which division each team belongs to.

Right now, I've only completed the FBS conference maps in the new format, but I will have the other maps done soon. Once again, thanks for your advice, and I hope confusion can now be limited for people reading the pages.

Hi Mdak
I noticed that you changed the Conference map on the ACC away from what the other Major Conferences have in their maps (Big Ten & SEC) with University locations noted on the map. I do not have a problem with Uniformity but if that is the case the Big Ten & SEC should be changed as well or revert the ACC (to be similar to the other Major Conferences).--Craiglduncan (talk) 18:00, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Big 12 also has University locations noted on their map.--Craiglduncan (talk) 18:03, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re:FYI

I considered doing that, but I don't exactly believe in protecting articles as a whole. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:39, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2013 Maryland Terrapins football team, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rentschler Field (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Disucssion at college football game list

Hello! At Talk:List of historically significant college football games I changed "deletes" to "excludes" and "keeps" to "includes" to avoid confusion. I see this as a "housekeeping" move and if you object, please accept my apologies.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:41, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
