I don't think they want to block him, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:15, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

He's about to be blocked. I tried to report him, but someone else already did it. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:17, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

GONE BABY!! Now that was awesome!!!! Bringingthewood (talk) 05:16, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

He should have been reported yesterday. I was just praying that this 2007 Dell wouldn't freeze up on me. Glad you got to see the movie! :):):) Thanks for trying to get that report in. I almost deleted the good messages with the bad, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Talk page reverts

edit

This IP is allowed to remove the warning on their own talk page per WP:TPO. Removal is acknowledgement that the person read it. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @EvergreenFir Funny thing is that I saw they reverted your warning, so I tried to help. Only because in the past I've seen those types of warnings were reverted. No good deed goes unpunished (That's me!). I knew that I would see a red bell light up, lol ... that's why I stopped after two reverts. Thanks for your message and good luck throwing out future trash. ;) Regards, - Bringingthewood (talk) 22:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
No offense intended at all. I just wanted to let you know the IP's actions were technically allowed, even if kinda crappy. I totally understand why you reverted too. :) EvergreenFir (talk) 04:11, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Bringingthewood I agree, I live in Morris Park but yes, Regis was from Van Nest. I don't know why MP always took ownership of Regis. I've contributed to the Van Nest page significantly over the years. Good to meet you. TheBronxNYC (talk) 04:31, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Former compatriots

edit

No issue if you want to assume Lasley is no longer in the job market. But his losing citizenship needs an RS. Otherwise, there's Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Football League/Archive 24 § Former American football players.—Bagumba (talk) 10:41, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

College statistics

edit

I suppose it's one of those "standards", but doesn't a subsection "Statistics" under "College" already imply that they are college stats?[4] And why NFL bios have college stats as a subsection under "College", but NFL stats in its own high-level section (e.g. Peyton Manning). Feel free to ignore.—Bagumba (talk) 04:34, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ignore @Bagumba. Not since I removed links from the photos. ;) I always felt like people needed a seeing eye dog when they came here. I agree, stats under college meant college stats. I'm all for doing one less thing. But like I always do .. when I see 100 pages one way, I just go along. Should we continue to change collegiate to college? Because if I remove college completely, YOU KNOW someone will eventually find me, lol. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:43, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Bagumba Had to mention this, I just now found a player that backed my original thought. When I add American, I tend to forget to add professional also. Then I thought, if they played college ball .. is professional correct? Just now I came across Ron Tilton. Isn't he like all the other professionals? Bringingthewood (talk) 04:59, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think Dirtlawyer1 used to put "college and professional football" if they didn't have a very long pro career or something. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:02, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@WikiOriginal-9 I thought it was him. What I didn't want to hear .. 'if not a long career'. That leads to me reading .. which leads to me leaving, lol. Sorry to say, I make everything a job. Good news: Can't get fired, if you don't get paid .. only blocked. :/ John. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:08, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
lol ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
College = professional. No, these are amateuer student-athletes. Haha. MOS:ROLEBIO says: The lead sentence should describe the person as they are commonly described by reliable sources. I think that's usually their highest level. Sure there can be excepions, but the drive-by editors want cookie-cutter conformity. —Bagumba (talk) 05:12, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Bagumba College = professional also means Professional = John's happy. Thanks for that. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:18, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
"Collegiate" can have its place depending on context, but if it's "collegiate football" vs "college football", stick with the shorter one (WP:FORMAL). —Bagumba (talk) 05:22, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Bagumba Sorry for the delay, old computer. I see blue lights going round in my sleep! Okay, shorter when I see it, that's easy enough. Here's to an uneventful week. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:00, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Note

Sorry, I don't like reverting you but it happens sometimes. If you ever see any mistakes I make, feel free to pay me back, lol. Thanks. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:34, 30 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@WikiOriginal-9 HA! You would not believe how much I wanted to stay away from that one. I just couldn't, lol. I checked the infobox and this, http://www.arenafan.com/players/3929/, which stated WR only on top. Now I know about AFL positions, thanks for the tidbit. Btw, you don't make mistakes .. I just pretend that I know things. @@ - John. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:26, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Don't waste your breath, I just scrolled down that page and saw his defensive stats. God forbid LB was put on top also. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:29, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Lol. Arenafan hasn't been working for me for some reason? Maybe I need to upgrade to Windows Vista. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 01:24, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@WikiOriginal-9 ROFL!! Sorry, I was going to call the paramedics, the pain due to laughing so hard. That was a good one. The reverts that bother me is when I remove something from an editor that was one before the last good edit. It looks like I disagreed with everyone. I did that to you also. You may want to revert a few more, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:34, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@WikiOriginal-9 Thanks for the American addition to German-born. If I see a military born player, even though assuming gets ME in trouble, I could go that route. Should I amend Tody Smith? Not sure if there's an age limit for when they come to the U.S. or even become a citizen. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:52, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
If they're just military born, they're not really German. The Schwedes guy was actually from Germany. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:57, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@WikiOriginal-9 I was thinking the same thing. (Oh yes, you were born there ... but you're really not one of us). Weird s***. Now I see, homework had to be done at that page. Honestly, I thought you were going to drop by there anyway .. but just to remove the dash, lol. Maybe I'll just stick with the country I know about. Besides, that American to Gridiron football is starting to annoy me. But that's for another day. Bringingthewood (talk) 03:06, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Did you know...

... that Tim Layana was a baseball? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:38, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wow, that IP thought "American" meant American League. At least he's not a baseball anymore. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:15, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@WikiOriginal-9 Yeah, the "baseball" seemed inadvertent from the "National" and other mess [5] (something I'm sure I've done similarly somewhere ha) —Bagumba (talk) 02:29, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@TornadoLGS Wow. I would say it's a small world, but this is a big place, lol. You've been here for quite a long time I see. I always wondered if someone would drop by one day.
