A few things about me: I have been an editor here for 18 years (first edit), although I only recorded 29 edits between 2011 and 2015. I am also an administrator, which means I have a few extra clean-up tools. I passed my RFA in 2008, back when adminship was truly no big deal. I was an admin from January 2008 to June 2009. I resigned the tools for seven years during a period of mostly minimal editing, but then had them restored in May 2016 when I started editing consistently again. I am bold when it comes to making administrative actions. That said, I will never revert another admin who has undone one of my administrative actions. I mainly edit articles within the Green Bay Packers WikiProject, although I do edit some random articles from time to time. If you need me to reply on another page, or would like to get my attention, please {{Ping}} me. Please feel free to leave a message below if you need to contact me. Old messages can be viewed in my archives. Feel free to email me if you need to discuss something private. Please leave me a message here notifying me of your email, as I do not check my Wikipedia email often.    Remember, we are writing an Encyclopedia! Happy editing!

Round count in early drafts

Hey Gonzo. I was working on User:Hey man im josh/Detroit Lions draft history and I noticed that the list of rounds in Green Bay Packers draft history is incorrect. See my change to the Lions draft here. I made notes about why the number of rounds changed. Your tables breaking down the picks at Green Bay Packers draft picks (1936–1969) already use round 31 and 32 when appropriate. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:55, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey man im josh thanks for catch, I made the changes. My source for the number of rounds is confusing, it lists out 20 and 30, but does note the practice from 1938 to 1944 of skipping rounds 2 and 4. Weird. I like how everything is coming together with the Lions' picks. Ready to see them at FLC soon! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:19, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

I happened to notice something was wrong when doing the Lions list and did a bit of digging. Those notes in my sandbox are unofficial, but they do perfectly explain the approach that was taken. While not RS, I do like to use Pro Sports Transactions to compare against other sources sometimes, as they do actually document a fair bit that others don't. Problem is it's mostly maintained by one guy who's not classified as a subject matter expert. Never the less, still useful! I understand why they said it's 20 or 30 rounds, since each team would apparently have that many picks anyways, but practically speaking we now know that's not how it actually went. I was just thinking about how the NFL gives comp picks at the end of a round instead of having separate comp pick rounds between and after the last several rounds. Ahh, just depends on how they wanna say their rounds are done lol. But yeah, thank you about the Lions lists! Progress is being made, even if not super fast. I'll have one at least prepped and ready to go as my next FL after one of my current two (with enough supports already!) pass. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:24, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
