WIKI CONTEST!

[mu_hilltopper]

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. 

New pages created: 39 (total 248 pages)

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.

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 and 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!

With only about a day to go, hilltopper and spartan are the two leaders...

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

.. 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"!

[spartan3186]

i vote to let it end at midnight tonight... extending it will not be good for finals studying...

[rocky_warrior]

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!

Hey, I said "about a day" - that could be 7 days   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)

[spartan3186]

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...
