Featured articlesFront Page FeatureThe 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!

Previous project proposalCollege FootballMichael Norman Gardner (born March 9, 1967, in Roeland Park, Kansas[1]) is currently the coach at Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas.

KansasAndrew Frank Schoeppel (November 23, 1894 – January 21, 1962) was an American politician and a member of the Republican Party. He was the 29th Governor of Kansas from 1943 to 1947 and a U.S. Senator from 1949 until his death. He was born in 1894 in Claflin, Kansas and died in 1962 of abdominal cancer at the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Maryland. .[6][7] Before serving as governor, Schoeppel was the seventh head college football coach for the Fort Hays State University Tigers located in Hays, Kansas and he held that position for the 1929 season. His career coaching record at Fort Hays was 2 wins, 5 losses, and 0 ties. As of completion of the 2007 season, this ranks him 20th at Fort Hays in total wins and 19th at Fort Hays in winning percentage.[8] Other fun stuffJohn H. Eastwood (May 12, 1911–February 13, 2007) was an author, seminary professor, army chaplain, and church pastor in the United States. He grew up in rural Nebraska and earned a Doctor of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1941.[9] He served in the United States Army 464th Bombardment Group during World War II.[10] His final position was as the pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Hammond, Indiana,[11] a church that he led to triple in size during his leadership.[12] Collaborate...Arthur McKean was the sixth head college football coach for the Geneva College Golden Tornadoes located in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania[13] and he held that position for five seasons, from 1907 until 1911. His coaching record at Geneva was 10 wins, 24 losses, and 7 ties. As of completion of the 2007 season, this ranks him 15th at Geneva in total wins and 25th at Geneva in winning percentage (0.329).[14] McKean also played football at Geneva College when he was a student.[15] Under McKean, the Geneva College team decided to join forces with five other colleges to abolish the game of football if significant rules changes were not made to make the game safer.[16] Selected pictureMalachy Sullivan, first football coach of Benedictine College football team..
