I'm a little curious why the Golf page is constantly at the top of the newly edited pages. I understand of course that it means it is being updated more often than other pages, but why is this so? And regardless of why, how come people who are not on the golf team would care? It is possible to update pages and not have them appear on the recently updated page ranking, which I think would be polite since you are not adding anything to people's understanding of Williams by further additions to this page. | I'm a little curious why the Golf page is constantly at the top of the newly edited pages.

This is the discussion page for "Men's Golf Team". This page is where editors and readers discuss what content should and should not be in the article, and respond to others' questions and comments. Unlike articles' content pages, editors should only add material and respond to others' postings, and never make deletions. This page is intended to record the history of any debate, as well as work towards resolving it.
All commenters here should take credit for their words. When you make a change, suffix your posting with --~~~~ This will automatically record your username and the time of posting. Doing this helps seperate comments, and is consistent with Wikipedia guidelines.
Oh, the mystery of Mike D. He should be living in Morgan next year which will be awesome. And the golf team page should be at the top of all the pages. Best varsity sport on campus--08jl 02:04, 12 May 2006 (EDT)

Well dude, it's not exactly bumping fresh material off the WSO front page. It's always at the top because it's one of the few articles being edited right now. I hope that changes, but until then, I wouldn't worry about it. --Evan 11:25, 11 May 2006 (EDT)
