I am trying to compile a list of career individual stats leaders for all SEC schools so that I can put some good, consistent tables onto Wikipedia. Wikipedia already has a few (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Missouri_Tigers_passing_leaders) sporadic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_Michigan_Wolverines_football_statistical_ leaders) and inconsistently-organized (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Minnesota_Golden_Gophers_football_passing_ leaders) articles on a few schools with this information, but I want to do a series of SEC articles that are all formatted the same and made to the same standard.
Unfortunately this involves a lot of data gathering, so if anyone would like to pitch in, even if you just do a category or 2 for a single school, here is the link I'm working on. I've got an Excel workbook that will convert this information into Wikipedia tables.

I realize there is some information like this available on sites like sportsreference, but it seems to go inconsistently far back. I'm looking at using media guides (Wikipedia is a stickler for valid sources these days).
Once the data is ready this will be a great resource to easily reference who the individual career leaders at each school are. I've got tabs other sports on there as well and would eventually like to expand these charts to include even more data.
I would cross-post this on the SEC Rant and other school's boards, but I'm not sure how well-received it would be at another forum for someone just to show up and say "Help me with this!" at the first ever post.
