WIKI CONTESTAs you may know, MUScoop.com hosts a Marquette Wiki (http://wiki.muscoop.com) that focuses on all things Marquette Athletics.
I have been amazed at the growth of the wiki, as it opened 8 short months ago, and already contains several hundred pages, mostly centered around MU basketball.
*You want to know who MU is recruiting for 2007-08? Boom. Here it is. (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball_recruits/2007-2008)
*How about the known information for next year's schedule? (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/2007)
*The all-time assist leaders? (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/all-time_assists_leaders)
*How about Doc Rivers' biography? (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/doc_rivers)
*You want to know the Cross Country team roster from 2006? (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/cross_country/2006)
*How about the soccer team? (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_soccer/2006)
*The Women's Basketball team? (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/women_s_basketball/2006)
*Or maybe you just need the recipe to make your own batch of Real Chili. (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/bars/real_chili)
Ok, ok, there's a lot of great information there. While 2006-07's information is thoroughly entered, we need your help. The ultimate vision is that this Wiki is the best source for MU reference for all years and all sports.
Don't know what a wiki is? Basically, it starts as a blank slate and volunteers like you write and edit information into the wiki. Much of this is through cutting and pasting things that are already on the web. For example, all the box-scores for 2006 were graciously entered in their proper places by a dedicated volunteer, cutting and pasting the data into the proper place.
But a wiki is only as good as its volunteers!
So, I'm running a contest to pique your interest. Hopefully, a series of contests.
Rules:
1. Whoever adds the most content, wins.
2. Minimum to win a grand prize: 20 chunks or pages. (These are good prizes.) To count, a "chunk" has got to be 3-4 sizable paragraphs or one multi-row table.
3. Any tie will be broken by my judgment of Wiki entry quality.
4. The contest ends around May 1st. There may or may not be more contests, until the prizes are given out.
5. I'm making this up as I go. I reserve the right to dink around with these rules!
The winner will
CHOOSE ONE of these FABULOUS prizes from the GRAND PRIZE LIST:
1. Dwyane Wade Figurine. Yup. I'm donating one for the cause. (http://imgred.com/http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/marq/sports/m-baskbl/auto_action/657237.jpeg) 2. 30th Anniversary T-Shirt (M)(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/teacheric/The%20Marquette%20Collection/1977tee.jpg) 3. Tom Crean Coaching Book - Autographed(http://imgred.com/http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0071465650.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_AA90_.jpg) 4. MUScoop.com Shirt (Limited Edition)
5. Heartfelt atta-boy (with optional pat on back)

Basketball season is over!
TV shows are going into re-runs. You have nothing to do. Help us with the wiki!
NOTE: It'd be nice to keep a running commentary in this thread of any pages you make. Feel free to link people to your work! People will read it, perhaps edit your page and make it better!
hmmm can you count the page I just made with Marquette's record vs every school they've played in this contest? It took me like four hours.
This one? http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/all-time_series_records
Sure, why not. Such a huge page deserves credit for at least 3 pages.
You are officially in the lead!
The word endeavor is spelled wrong the Roney Eford page. I tried to change it, but I'm new here and all I have is read-only access.

I want to MUScoop shirt! I'm going to work
What size is it?
I think I have two shirts .. a gold XXXL (it's giant, but not preposterous.) .. And a blue one, I think that's either M or L. Both are long sleeved.
Ooooo a leaderboard would really hit the spot!
The best Grand Grand Prize would be some Ahoya license plates!
is their a way to add html? I have tables with recruits high school stats that I can add if this is possible
You should be able to copy and paste the tables in between <code></code>
1998/1999 Schedule and Results added to the Wiki
http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/1998
Code /code will NOT work.
HOWEVER .. I've had the same problem in the past .. I just stumbled upon a GREAT resource. It's a webpage that you can cut and past HTML to, and it will convert the HTML into Wiki language.
http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki/index.html
Make sure you select "DocuWiki" on the drop down before "convert" is clicked. Presto. I tested it on some simple stuff, so have no idea how perfect it converts, but I think it will help a lot.

Ok, for you, win the contest, I'll fish up some of my McGuire books, offer those.
thanks Scott is now up and others should be up soon

I did my best, but maybe somebody who knows what they are doing more than I do can clean it up??
Great start so far all! As an FYI - here is a link to the wiki syntax overview: wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:syntax (http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:syntax). It is quite simple, fairly concise, and easy reference. If you run into anything that doesn't seem to be answered feel free to post your question here!

When does the current contest end? I'm a terrible procrastinator, but I'm determined to win the autographed book. Look for all my entries at midnight before the cutoff date :)
4. The contest ends around May 1st. There may or may not be more contests, until the prizes are given out.
.. So far, disappointed. Let's get wiki-ing, people. I may have to enter the contest, make people beat me to get some entries going!
Funny, looked all over the initial post, and never saw that date. Guess I need my glasses checked :P

'61/'62 schedule and results
'88/'89 schedule and results
for a total of 22... I guess that qualifies me for the prize.. ill propably add more just to make sure I win... I'll use this as a running tally, hopefully that makes it easier for you
(cough) You know how on eBay, the best strategy is not to bid until the very last second? I hear there's dozens of guys with dozens of wiki pages, just waiting for the deadline to post! (cough)
ahh but if i post them now i may take the ones they have yet to post... plus its not really that important to me honestly, ive been doing wiki pages even without the contest so i could really care less
And we thank you for it! Seriously.
I was a little more optimistic about the contest, I was hoping for 5-10-15 people to compete. Imagine, 10 people, 20 pages minimum = 200+ pages. Would have been a nice jump. So far, pretty quiet. "It's still anyone's game!"
61/62 schedule and results added

Brother's Bar review posted. More to follow.
By the way, I wrote the Corner and Art's Performing Center reviews back in November -- any credit for that?
Wellll .. the point of the contest is to generate new postings .. I tell you what, you get to 18 new articles, I'll give you those two!!

You got it... I'm going for the 30-year T-shirt, or either MUScoop long sleeve. Yeah, I graduated, but I'll cross oceans for free t-shirts.
Sweet. Give spartan3186 a run for his money!
added '88/'89 schedule and results to wiki
http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/1988
added results and put schedule in table form '87/'88
http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/1987
This is slightly off topic but does pertain to the wiki...
I added a link to the muscoop wiki page on the actual wikipedia Marquette page ;D
Yeah, I wonder how long that will last. I thought of that a while back .. then I read the discussion page on there, lots of debate on what external links are "worthy".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Marquette_University#We.27ve_Gotta_Do_Something_About_the_External_Links
Hah! I just looked it up. Your edit lasted 6 freaking minutes! SIX. What a bunch of wiki nazis.
Of course, there's a qualitative measure to this contest that will come into play (so these numbers don't mean everything), but for the stat-heads here's the activity since the contest was launched.

Great stats, Rock. I think I might have vaulted into the lead, though.
I used the Wayback machine to bring up 1996-7 and went nuts for the last couple hours. Schedule, photo, coaches, every player. My cutter and my paster are worn out.
The info, of course, was dated. So like John Cliff's page has info as if he's a freshman. But at least all those guys have a starting place with lots of info. Sure brought back memories .. Hutch, Cliff, Polo, Pieper, Bart!, Bargen, Faisel, on and on.
http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/1996
Yes indeed, you just made my procrastination even harder. But hey, I'm still gonna ask people that - even if they aren't aiming to win - add a few new pages. Like Damon Key (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/damon_key) and Robb Logterman (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/robb_logterman) still need pages added. I know there are a few people on the site that count these guys as some of their favorite players - why not add a page for them!

Well .. I did say the contest would end "around" May 1st. I think I need to extend it a week to give people a chance to BEAT ME!
P.S. .. how have I been doing this? It's all from the tip from MU CHI_IL .. go here:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.gomarquette.com (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.gomarquette.com)
.. And you can bring up dozens of pages from past MU rosters, stats, links, etc. Unfortunately, that well is getting drained. There's still some great stuff there, though.
Another great place to cut/paste is the MU media guide PDF on gomarquette.com .. lots of stuff there.
Additionally, one way of finding "new" pages to create is from my new master list of players:
http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/alphabetical_player_list
or
http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/year_by_year_player_list
Players in red need to be "adopted"!
i vote to let it end at midnight tonight... extending it will not be good for finals studying...

Hey, I said "about a day" - that could be 7 days :P I'll just keep posting stats daily until you say it's over...
And with a massive effort of 26 pages yesterday, spartan reclaims the lead.

Ok, ok, clearly Spartan wins. I don't want to mess with finals .. (May 1st?)
So, what's your prize selection, Spartan? Pick from:
1. Dwyane Wade Figurine.
2. 30th Anniversary T-Shirt (M)
3. Tom Crean Coaching Book - Autographed
4. MUScoop.com Shirt (Limited Edition)
5. Heartfelt atta-boy (with optional pat on back)
Im going to go with the MUScoop shirt. Finals are actually next week, but I have a very heavy load towards the beginning of the week and I have two papers and an exam this week.
damn....I forgot about the wiki....stupid finals and drinking...
