Featured articlesFront Page Feature![]() The Wikipedia main page featured William Wurtenburg on December 24, 2015. This was an article I originally created on June 16, 2008. Thanks to all Wikipedia editors including @A Texas Historian:, @Jweiss11:, and others who also helped improve it. The article as it exists now looks so much better than what I made. I created the original article on June 16, 2008 as a part of a campaign to complete articles for every head football coach for United States Naval Academy. Coach Wurtenburg was head coach for the 1894 season and led the team to a record of 4 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. Their only loss that year was to Pennsylvania who ended the season as undefeated national champions. As you can tell by visiting the article page now, it has been greatly enhanced to include his coaching at Dartmouth and his time as a player at Yale where he was a part of the 1887 National Championship team, finishing with a record of 9 wins and 0 losses. After coaching, he became an official for college football. Around 1904, Wurtenburg began pursuing a career as a physician. He set up a medical office near his house in New Haven, Connecticut, and became an ear, nose and throat specialist where he lived until his death in 1957. It's truly rewarding to see an article that I started end up on the Wikipedia main page! Woo-hoo!!! Media of the DayA video I posted was declared Wikimedia's "Media of the Day" on September 17, 2015. Watch closely as the cheese monger at Whole Foods Market in Overland Park, Kansas cracks open a wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on March 9, 2013 (part of a 2013 world record attempt by Whole Foods Market). I recorded this video on March 9, 2013 and posted it the next day. It was a recording of one location where Whole Foods Market was attempting (and I believe succeeded) in setting a world record for the most number of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese at the same time. They were attempting this feat by using multiple stores and locations across their service footprint. The best part was that we all got to sample!
