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!

Previous project proposalCollege FootballVince DiFrancesca (1922 – May 21, 2007) was a college football player and coach in the United States. His total career coaching record was 106 wins, 71 losses, and 7 ties. DiFrancesca was the eighth head college football coach for the Western Illinois University Leathernecks located in Macomb, Illinois and he held that position for five seasons, from 1949 until 1953. His career coaching record at Western Illinois was 38 wins, 7 losses, and 1 ties. As of completion of the 2007 season, this ranks him seventh at Western Illinois in total wins and first at Western Illinois in winning percentage.[1] Under DiFrancesca's leadership, Western's team was ranked among the best offensive and defensive teams in the nation for five years.[2] DiFrancesco was also the head coach at Iowa State University from 1954 to 1958.[3] he was the 21st head coach for the Cyclones in Ames, Iowa. His coaching record at Iowa state was 6 wins, 21 losses, and 1 ties. As of completion of the 2007 season, this ranks him 19th at Iowa state in total wins and 28th at Iowa state in winning percentage.[4] His final head coaching job was as the 22nd head college football coach for the Carroll College (Wisconsin) Pioneers located in Waukesha, Wisconsin and he held that position for thirteen seasons, from 1959 until 1971. His record at Carroll College was a more successful 62 wins, 43 losses, and 5 ties. As of completion of the 2006 season, this ranks him second at Carroll College in total wins and tenth at Carroll College in winning percentage.[3] Kansas Jamestown is a city in Cloud County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 286.[5] It was founded in 1878 and incorporated as a city in 1883.[6] In 1911 the entire downtown business district was destroyed by a fire. Few records remain of that fire, but the townspeople subsequently rebuilt the downtown commercial district.[7] History repeated itself on January 28, 2000 when another fire consumed several buildings on Main Street and spread to the city hall. The fire chief and small group of volunteer firefighters worked nearly 24 hours without sleep to contain the fire. And again, history repeated itself as the town rebuilt. Mayor Judy Hill stated, "A fire like that can destroy a small town, but instead it ignited a community spirit here." In a few days, Jamestown was having town meetings to make plans for the future.[8] Today, Jamestown has a new community center with daycare facilities and a thriving downtown activities center with a health clinic, public library, and several businesses.[8] Other fun stuff The Mound City News is a local newspaper published in Mound City, Missouri, serving Holt County.

The paper has been publishing weekly since April 7, 1994[11] and currently releases its publication on Thursday each week.[12] The publication claims roots back to 1879.[13] Collaborate...
