Hi, thank you so much for expanding upon the Florida–Kentucky men's basketball rivalry several months ago and creating the football section which ultimately culminated in the Florida–Kentucky rivalry page. The football rivalry has been on the rise the last several years and it was long overdue.

There are a few other men's basketball rivalry pages that could use the same action due to the long-standing football series between the schools. Two examples are Illinois–Indiana men's basketball rivalry (which would be moved to Illinois–Indiana rivalry) and Illinois–Iowa men's basketball rivalry (which would be moved to Illinois–Iowa rivalry). Those are just two examples I've seen and there could be more.

You did such a wonderful job with Florida–Kentucky, could you do the same with Illinois–Indiana and Illinois–Iowa at your earliest convenience? Thanks. 2603:6010:61F0:91B0:21B7:61AF:DC8F:3479 (talk) 02:11, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey!

thank you for the positive words! Sorry for responding so late— been a busy month.

I’ll get to working on that soon! I gotta do some quick research but I’d love to help. Snakshopp (talk) 01:44, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Follow up,

I'm going to start working on the Ill-Indie article now. I don't think I can do the Iowa-Illinois rivalry though. I've just seen too much bad press saying the game isn't a rivalry. I'm open to being convinced otherwise though. Snakshopp (talk) 18:06, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello User:Snakshopp, I came across these references as potential evidence for a football rivalry between Illinois and Iowa. (I apologize if these URLs aren't inserted properly, I'm not really sure how they're supposed to be properly inserted):

Wikipedia encourages boldness, and worst case scenario, a detailed discussion takes place and the page is reverted back to just the men's basketball rivalry. 12.96.67.34 (talk) 00:33, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Frost was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Not seeing any evidence of notability. The sources in this page are primary, about Kentucky–Louisville rivalry or something else. It's probably WP:TOOSOON.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Hi Snakshopp. Thank you for your work on Traditions at the University of Kentucky. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Quite a work of art from Snakshopp and colleagues! It's quite a collection of traditions, and readers will certainly benefit from the collection.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Commonwealth Cup (soccer rivalry), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Devon Williams. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
