Help me! Using Wikipedia to record history for ultimate frisbee (starting with UW-Madison Hodags)

Please help me with... I am curious about using Wikipedia to track historic documents like articles and pictures (or if there is a better place to do this). I am on the Hodag Alumni Board which represents the University of Wisconsin-Madison Men's Ultimate Frisbee team, and we are trying to track the rich history of the program that started in 1977. Fortunately, many of the founders of the program are alive but older, and I want to be able to capture and publicize this history. Being a young sport, ultimate has not done the best job keeping track and recording ultimate, so in my opinion, history has repeated itself and caused slowed growth of the sport. I drafted and submitted a page for the Draft:University of Wisconsin-Madison Hodags to get something started, but I have a bunch of scanned articles and pictures from back in the 1970s/1980s that I'd love to continue to build out the page and reference. Any help on this process of recording and building on the historic narrative via Wikipedia (or elsewhere) would be awesome! Thank you. Jeffmaskalunas (talk) 19:02, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

- Thank you! I read through this link, and I am still getting my bearings. I'm trying to present factual and objective information in my article. I'd appreciate any help, suggestions, or guidance with ways to format or approaches to writing. I am hoping to eventually get to a place where history is recorded similar to the Badger football page for our ultimate team along with pages made for the few most notable alumni. It's just a tall task to get started with! Jeffmaskalunas (talk) 19:27, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
Links to draft articles
[edit]
Please do not introduce links to draft articles in actual articles, as you did to USA Ultimate and Carleton Ultimate Team. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 20:28, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
