I saw your question on my talk page regarding the season articles. I wish I could claim all the credit, but to be honest I really liked the design that User:Stolilv87 used on 2010–11 Las Vegas Wranglers season and basically ripped it off, changing the names and info and reorganizing it a bit. It's a pretty good basic design. Couple of things:

  • The title should have an – (–) in place of a hyphen for 2010–11. Also, "season" shouldn't be capitalized. Those are Manual of Style issues. You could create the page with the new title and then make the current one a redirect to it. I titled this section with how it should look in Wiki markup.
  • The lead paragraph usually discusses a quick summary of the season. You can pattern it off of 2010–11 South Carolina Stingrays season for the type of stuff that should be included.
  • The pre-season section usually discusses any major events in the off season: signings, coaches moving, pre-season games. A good example of this is at 2011–12 South Carolina Stingrays season for the first two (it's bigger because I've been able to capture the goings-on as they happen instead of having to go back and dig them up). The previous season has an example for a pre-season game.
  • The regular season section I used for divisional and conference standings, easily available (as is most of the game info) from the ECHL website. Same for the info in the playoffs section.
  • The schedule and results and player stats tables are basic tables. You can copy the format over from any page that has them already, and then enter the appropriate data. It's really tedious, but someone's gotta do it. I also changed the table headers to the appropriate team colors.
  • Personnel roster is just the basic roster template every team article uses. I chose to use the season-ending roster as it was the last one issued for that season. The staff info box is also a fairly simple template - just change the colors and replace the names.
  • Affiliates - pretty self-explanatory.
  • There are also tables to track awards, player trades and call-ups, I just haven't had the time to get that done for 2010–11 South Carolina Stingrays season. The Las Vegas Wranglers article has those tables.
  • As with any Wikipedia article, just make sure you have enough sources. The ECHL's press releases and articles from the local newspaper usually do the job. I'm a big fan of Template:Cite news for citing sources. Don't forget a References section at the end with {{reflist}} to display your citations.

If you have specific questions, please let me know. I'll try to answer them as soon as I can and to the best of my ability.

Good luck!  Cjmclark (Contact) 03:42, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greenville FC moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Greenville FC, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
