  • ... that Debbie Windett, who went on to be one of the top-20 winningest coaches in high school field hockey history, was initially booed when hired as a coach?

Pre-promotion question for @BeanieFan11 and Reconrabbit: Does the "18th most winningest coach" stat apply to (1) Delaware, (2) the U.S., (3) a broader set of countries or (4) some other set of geographies? I think the hook should clarify this and I don't have access to the source so I can't tell. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:23, 23 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
I don't have access to the source that says "18th most winningest" either, so I can't say for certain. My assumption was that "high school" implied US field hockey, but haven't found an accessible source that assigns her winning qualities to a geographical range. -- Reconrabbit 14:36, 23 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Let's see if we can clarify it. Being the 18th-winningest field hockey coach in Delaware would be, um, not particularly impressive. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:20, 23 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
It's national (American high school field hockey). Looking at the national high school record book her wins total would place her just outside of the top 20 (remember that the article calling her 18th was made 13 years ago – a few have likely passed that total since then). What's bizarre is that she is not listed there even though she did have 344 wins – maybe I'll contact that website, since there's actually been a few other record-holders I've noticed they have missed previously.

ALT0a ... that Debbie Windett, who went on to be one of the top 20 winningest coaches in U.S. high school field hockey history, was initially booed when hired as a coach?
Reconrabbit, can you put a new tick on this alt so it can be promoted? Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:00, 23 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
on ALT0a with this clarification. Thank you for the ping. -- Reconrabbit 16:08, 23 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

"Winningest" isn't a word

Bottom text. Un assiolo (talk) 17:52, 29 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Cambridge describes it as "US informal"; hence, it is inappropriate per MOS:ENGVAR (English Wikipedia (...) uses a formal, encyclopedic register or tone) and MOS:COMMONALITY (using vocabulary common to all varieties of English is preferable). --Un assiolo (talk) 18:58, 29 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
