Implementation of consensus infobox changes for current seasons

{{User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil|1918932575}}

At Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_172#Designating_current_seasons_in_infoboxes, I read clear consensus to use text rather than images to designate the current season. I went ahead and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_award&type=revision&diff=984051627&oldid=970735732&diffmode=source made the change] at {{tl|Infobox award}}, but since I'm not a sports person, I'll leave the implementation for sports templates such as {{tl|Infobox football league}} to you all here. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 21:35, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

:I've added a DNAU tag to this thread; feel free to remove it once you have finished implementation. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 20:49, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Defunct events

I’m getting stuck on finding sources for documenting defunct sled dog races, a lot of them just disappear with no coverage.

The one I’d really like a source for is Apostle Islands Sled Dog Race, as it has its own Wikipedia page. List of sled dog races has at least two more without their own articles: MusherIce 150 and Volga Quest.

Any tips? Annwfwn (talk) 12:24, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

A Question About the Template

I can not add importance=top, or any other for that matter and your categories for the importance seemed to be deleted. Could someone please inform me why this is, and how to fix it? Easternsahara (talk) 00:22, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on :Newman Lakers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Newman+Lakers|deleting administrator}}. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 03:41, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

American club seasons navbox split

Hello! I've started a TfD discussion on whether the "Club seasons" section of {{tl|2025 in American soccer}} and its predecessors should be split, or duplicate navboxes should be merged into it. I'd very much appreciate those reading this to give their opinion. Thank you! — AFC Vixen 🦊 18:36, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Free access to books about sports

This looks like it might be useful to some of you: https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/partners/16/ It says that they offer books about sports.

If you find a WP:Notable good source in this collection, and we have a Wikipedia article for the source, please tag the talk page with {{tl|Wikipedia Library}} to increase the likelihood that other editors will find out that they can use good sources.

(@Blue Square Thing, it's probably too much to hope that they'll have books about cricket players, but maybe we'd be lucky...) WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:41, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

:Thanks. Looks like there's a book on the Philadelphia cricket team which might be helpful. And a history of US cricket from 1710 to 2000 which I'm sure would be interesting. But it's got a lot of baseball and so on, naturally enough. If anyone finds anything, let me know Blue Square Thing (talk) 05:08, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
