Union Army

I understand the relevancy of your admonition that I should cite a secondary source that refers to the Union Army, Armies, or Forces as "National." I'll do some looking but the term is somewhat dated and most histories of the Civil War written after the Nineteenth Century don't use it. In my opinion, since people such as Grant and Lincoln used the term frequently, it deserves mention. Whether historians know it as the "National Army" seems to me irrelevant; people at the time knew it as such. Your thoughts?Khan_singh 07:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the footnote to Grant's Memoirs is a good substitute in this case, establishing colloquial usage. Thanks. Hal Jespersen 15:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

No problem.Khan_singh 05:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Halleck/Sherman

I'm curious, do you know if Halleck and Sherman ever reconciled after their spat in April 1865? Sherman only mentions Halleck's name once in his Memoirs after the incident, so I suspect not.Khan_singh 06:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I have no info to offer. I don't have complete biographies on either of them. You might check with User:Eb.hoop, who was the primary author of the Sherman bio. Hal Jespersen 14:50, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

re Civil war‎

Y'know, you could probably drop a note into Talk:Civil war‎ commenting on how parochial is to have an extended paragraph on the history of the American Civil War in the lede for civil war, and just skip the whole edit warring approach. - BanyanTree 04:12, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

NBC Sports

Hi there-

My name is Julia, and I work here at NBC Sports and noticed that there is a lot more that could be updated to the current NBC Sports page. Can you offer any advice on how to tack on some more relevant information there? Let me know, any feeedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for getting back to me. I definitely agree about the history part needing more information. I put together some more facts and compiled that with what is already up there, shall I send over to you to take a look? Or can I post? Let me know, thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Julianyc (talk • contribs) 14:15, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi again. See below what I put together, along with a list of references. The info that's up there now I just fit into this and I put in categories, so it flows a little better. Let me know what you think, thanks.

NBC Sports

NBC Sports is the sports division of the NBC television network. Formerly "a service of NBC News," it broadcasts a diverse array of programs, including the Olympic Games (through 2014), ‘NBC Sunday Night Football,’ ‘Football Night in America,’ Notre Dame football; the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes; the U.S. Open Championship, The Players, and the Ryder Cup; the NHL Winter Classic, NHL ‘Game of the Week,’ and NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs and Final; and Wimbledon and the French Open.

NBC Sports has broadcast 12 Olympic Games to date, more than any other network.[1] Its ability to amass large audiences, particularly for the Olympics, has resulted in NBC Sports broadcasting nine of the top 10 most-watched events in U.S. television history, including the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games which stands at No. 1 all-time with 215 million viewers. [2] In 2009, NBC Sports won the Peabody Award for its production of the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games and was named ‘Best in Sports Television’ at the Sports Business Awards. [3]

History

NBC Sports’ heritage began more than 70 years ago and is highlighted by a number of memorable firsts. In 1939, NBC broadcast the first baseball game [4] (Columbia vs. Princeton, May 17), the first boxing match [5] (Baer vs. Nova, June 1) and the first NFL game [6] (Brooklyn vs. Philadelphia, October 22). NBC also broadcast the first Army-Navy football game in 1945 and the first World Series in 1947. It broadcast Super Bowl I in 1967. [7]

Since 1989, NBC Sports has been led by NBC Universal Sports and Olympics Chairman Dick Ebersol. [2][8][1] Ebersol’s early tenure at NBC Sports was highlighted by a string of sports-property acquisitions and renewals, including the Olympics, NFL, NBA, Notre Dame football and MLB, through the formation of the joint-venture Baseball Network. During the 1995-96 television season, for the only time in history, the World Series, Super Bowl, NBA Finals and Summer Olympics were telecast by the same network. It was following this run in 1996 that The Sporting News named Ebersol the Most Powerful Person in Sports. [9]

Throughout the course of its history, NBC Sports has employed a number of iconic commentators, which includes: Bob Costas, John Madden, Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth, Vin Scully, Joe Garagiola, Tony Kubek, Bob Uecker, Marv Albert, Mary Carillo, Dick Enberg, Bud Collins, John McEnroe, Bryant Gumbel, Billy Packer, Al McGuire, Bob Wolff , Curt Gowdy and Mel Allen.

Recent History

The 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games attracted 190 million viewers - the second most-watched Winter Olympics in history. The men’s gold medal hockey game was the most watched hockey game in 30 years drawing in an average of 27.6 million viewers. [10][11]

The 2009-2010 season of “Sunday Night Football” was the No. 1 program on primetime television and averaged 19.4 million viewers.[12]

The 2009-2010 season of “Football Night in America” set a record 7.4 million viewers. [13]

The opening of the new Cowboys stadium on September 20, 2009 was the most-watched “Sunday Night Football” game ever with 24.8 million viewers and was the most-watched NFL primetime regular-season game in 12 years. [12]

The 2009 Stanley Cup Finals: Game 7 was the most-watched NHL Game in 36 Years and averaged 8 million viewers. [14]

The 2009 Kentucky Derby was the most-watched Derby in 20 years. [15]

Super Bowl XLIII: Set a then-record with 152 million viewers. [16]

The 2009 NHL Winter Classic was the most-watched NHL regular-season game in 34 years. [17]

Expansion

In 2008, NBC Universal rebranded the digital subchannel network World Championship Sports Network as Universal Sports after taking a controlling stake in the channel. Universal Sports mostly presents coverage of athletics events which are part of the Olympic Games.

On June 14, 2009, NBC Sports announced an agreement with Profootballtalk.com, one of the leading NFL news sites on the internet, that they have purchased the content rights beginning July 1, 2009.

Your golf question

Hi there-

So here is what I able to find out about golf:

In 1987, NBC Sports made its first deal with the TPC, followed up by the PGA seniors- the division's first 'Major' since the 1960s. In 1991, we added the Ryder Cup and the USGA in 1995.

Let me know if you need anything else then and when do you think you will start getting this stuff up? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Julianyc (talk • contribs) 15:05, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

page moves

If you want to move a page to a new title but can not because of existing edit history at the target title, such as you found with NFL Championship Game, 1934, please tag the destination page with {{db-move}} or list the page at Wikipedia:Requested moves, rather than cutting and pasting the content as you did in the above example. Reasons for not cut and pasting are mentioned at Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves. Thanks, 98.122.178.110 (talk) 03:53, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Will do. Thanks. Khan_singh (talk) 03:59, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 2012 World Series

The article 2012 World Series has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The only thing known about this event is that Fox is due to broadcast the game on television. The logo, dates, and other information are not available, and won't be for some time. The information regarding the broadcaster is readily available at List of World Series broadcasters, and need not be spun off into a separate article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 06:33, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Women's leagues

Hello, re: this [recent edit], I don't see how adding women's leagues makes it "out of hand" when they're listed on the same line. Can you clarify? Hmlarson (talk) 00:18, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

How many leagues are we going to list here? The first time I edited this part a couple of years ago, it only had the top European leagues, Mexico, and MLS. I thought that more should be included, but which ones? Division 1 status and 10,000/match seemed like a fair standard; otherwise it might include the League Championship, Bundesliga 2, Serie B, &c. as well as minor D1 leagues. Of course the NWSL only averages 5,000. If we include the NWSL and the Swedish women's league, which leagues do we exclude? Khan_singh (talk) 02:48, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Top women's league in each country where available. Hmlarson (talk) 02:54, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I just don't think that most women's leagues are notable enough to warrant mention on the sidebar. Most of them are sparsely attended and/or seldom televised. If you were to include them, why wouldn't you then include men's leagues in Costa Rica, Honduras, Ecuador, Chile, Uruguay, Iran, South Korea, Slovakia, Ireland, Sweden, &c.? Why wouldn't you include Division 2 leagues like the Coca-Cola Championship, Bundesliga 2, Serie B, Segunda Division, &c.? Khan_singh (talk) 16:30, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Why aren't top men's and women's leagues in each country included? The header is "Current sporting seasons". Perhaps that should be changed if you're saying it's not accurate. Hmlarson (talk) 21:29, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

There might be 180 Division I men's leagues. It would be too unwieldy to list all of them on the sidebar. Instead, there's a category that lists all current seasons and the most important leagues are listed on the sidebar. Khan_singh (talk) 02:06, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
