-Why didn't he pinch hit for him? Does he not know what a double switch is? How many times have you wondered out loud that you could be a much better manager, then oh, say, Grady Little. Well now you can be! ArmchairGM needs your help. Let's put together a Guide to Smart Baseball. When is it appropriate to hit and run? When should you intentionally walk a batter? We are trying to answer this as well as many other questions. Click [[Baseball Strategy:Guide to Smart Baseball]].

+Group=I love to Wikify |
+Description=This group is for users who help place double brackets around each name, team, sports-related term, etc, thereby creating a link to that term's page. For example, typing <br>
+<nowiki>[[Alex Rodriguez]], born [[July 27]], [[1975]], is the [[third baseman]] for the [[New York Yankees]].</nowiki> will display as <br>
+[[Alex Rodriguez]], born [[July 27]], [[1975]], is the [[third baseman]] for the [[New York Yankees]]. |
+Mission=Wikify at least one article a week. Just find an article that hasn't been wikified, click "edit" on the top right of the page, and place double brackets <nowiki>[[     ]]</nowiki> around each term that deserves to have its own page on this website.|

-===[[ArmchairGM:Uniform Number Project|Uniform Number Project]]===
+| width="50%" valign="top" |
-One project needed on ArmchairGM is a page for each uniform number that's been retired, in any sport by any team (including college sports).  For example, [[42 (uniform number)]] would list Jackie Robinson and whomever else has had that number retired, broken down by sport and team.
+{{CPGroup|
+Group=Player Bios and Scouting Reports |
-Then, all current players (and for good measure, retired players who played predominantly under one or two numbers) would have their uniform number linked to that page.  A reader could click the link to see the history of that number.
+Description=This group is for users who help write biographies and/or scouting reports for players. Bios include pre-professional life, career highlights, trivia, statistics, etc. See [[Tom Brady]] for example. Scouting reports include stengths and weaknesses. See [[Derek Jeter]] for example. |
+Mission=Write at least one bio/scouting report a week. Just find a player that doesnt have that information, and input that information on that player's page. To find a player, just type in his name in the search box on the top of every page, or you can use some of these links to find a player: [[:Category:MLB Players|MLB Players]], [[:Category:NFL Players|NFL Players]], [[:Category:NBA Players|NBA Players]], [[:Category:NHL Players|NHL Players]], [[:Category:Soccer Players|Soccer Players]], [[:Category:College Football Players|College Football Players]], [[:Category:College Basketball Players|College Basketball Players]], [[:Category:CFL Players|CFL Players]], [[:Category:PGA Players|PGA Players]] |

-===[[College Sports History Project|College Sports History]]===
-On this project, we're looking to expand historical information on the NCAA Football and Basketball pages.
-Please click [[College Sports History Project|College Sports History]] if you want to help with this project.
-===[[Formula One History|Formula One History]]===
-This project is seeking to expand historical information of Formula One, ranging from the F1 Calendar, World Champions, Teams, etc. Please click [[Formula One History|Formula One History]] if you want to help with this project. Contact [[User: Alex Holowczak]] if you are going to change anything vital, however. ([[User Talk:Alex Holowczak|Contact him here]])
-: In relation to this, there have been many Grands Prix in history not on the Championship calendar. Type GP-(year) to view any of these pages. Put any races you know of existing that have missed on [[Grands Prix that need to be added to the Calendar|this page]]. They will be added at a later date. Be sure to sign the race with four tildas (~) so that the writer can be checked.
-===Stadium Project===
-This project is created in hopes that ArmchairGM can provide a database of information on stadiums, past, present and future, in the [[MLB Stadiums|MLB]], [[NFL Stadiums|NFL]], [[NBA Stadiums|NBA]], [[NHL Stadiums|NHL]], [[Arena Football League Stadiums|AFL]], and other sports, including college stadiums.
-For those who want to help: First, we need to make list pages for the different leagues, all of which should look similar to [[MLB Stadiums]]. Afterwards, you should go through the different arenas and add a template to it using <nowiki> {{subst:[templatename]}}; for instance, putting {{subst:Baseball Stadium}} into</nowiki> [[Yankee Stadium]] and hitting preview to add the infobox to it. Hope that makes sense... The different templates are below:
-*[[Template:Baseball Stadium]]
-*[[Template:Football Stadium]]
-*[[Template:Basketball Arena]]
-*[[Template:Hockey Arena]]
-===[[Rumors Section]]===
-If anyone is interested in assisting me with a "Rumors" section I would greatly appreciate it.  I am far from a Wiki expert but I think this section would be useful.
