Updated Weight for 2013
![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please change Weight: 206 lb (93 kg) to Weight: 214 (97 kg)
He's listed at 206 on the current page, he claims to be 214, 215 in this interview (http://www.seahawks.com/videos-photos/videos/Russell-Wilson-OTA-Press-Conference/ce78df98-28b6-4a0b-bcd3-ddd520a9dce5).
- I noticed that as well, but I'm not 100% sure on the guidelines for whether Wikipedia only uses official NFL sources for that info or not. His Seahawks.com and NFL.com profiles still list 206. I'll check the NFL WikiProject page and find out. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 12:48, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Wilson's master's degree
The only reliable source I've found that Wilson graduated from his master's program is the May 2012 commencement program on the University of Wisconsin website. I'd like to be able to add another source though if anyone can find one. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 13:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- Well the announcers just said during the game today that Wilson is a 50 page paper short of his Masters degree so I'm going to remove this sentence from the article. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 22:48, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Inclusion of NC State in Infobox
There have been a couple edits recently adding and removing NC State from the infobox. Is there any consensus on this? The Troy Aikman infobox lists both colleges that he attended, while Cam Newton only lists Auburn even though he attended three schools. Wilson however graduated from both NC State and Wisconsin so his situation is a bit different. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 22:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
- No, the situation is not different. We list the schools that NFL.com list, not the schools that you think should be listed. Thanks for acknowledging that. --bender235 (talk) 08:53, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
- I added NC State yesterday. I just read this thread so apologize about by mistake. Thank you catching me on that. qolivieri 18:55, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- Wilson attened both schools and played football at both therefore both schools should be listed in his infobox. Wikipedia is not NFL.com so that is not they say all end all. If a player went to a college but never played football there then I understand why there is no need to metion it in the infobox. In Wilson's case, he spent three years there (playing in all three) and even graduated from NC State. The majority of his career was played there so that is information that should be highlighted on his page. Redmen44 (talk) 06:12, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- The NC State info IS highlighted on his page - just not in the infobox. It is not intended as a comprehensive biographical infobox; it is an NFL infobox. It lists what NFL.com lists - the school a player was drafted from. This is NFL WikiProject consensus if you want to discuss it further there. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 10:58, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- If it's consensus, then why is Troy Aikman's infobox listing two colleges? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.15.231.195 (talk) 22:26, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- No comment on consensus, but tother stuff existing is not always a strong argument, as they might need to be changed also,—Bagumba (talk) 00:16, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Russell Wilson played at NC State for 3x the amount of time he played at Wisconsin, he was recruited by NC State, and without them, may not have ever achieved what he has to this day. NC State gave him his big shot, and whether or not ESPN lists it, it should be up on this as this is not ESPN. It should especially be up considering there are many others who have multiple schools up. I constantly have people tell me that NC State can't claim Russell because Wikipedia doesn't list him. 3/4+ of his college career was at NC State. The least that can be done is to add the name to the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.191.134.24 (talk) 22:19, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
- As the template is arranged now, only the most recent college is included. There is currently a discussion to include others, but as of now, no consensus has been reached. Chambr (talk) 23:20, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
College baseball career section
Found a few sources that would be useful for expanding this section if anyone wants to work on it (1, 2). The Gaston Gazette has a few good articles in their archives about his college baseball stuff. Turns out Wilson was drafted twice - once by the Baltimore Orioles right out of high school. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 17:08, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Fine
All right, I removed the part about his favorite TV show only to have it reverted and told to discuss it here. The fact that we'd even consider such unencyclopedic material is absolutely ludicrous to me. Who disagrees? Go Phightins! (talk) 18:56, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- Wilson has said that his favorite TV show is Entourage. I understand that it may seem like "unnecessary" info but it is cited material and there are no WP:BLP issues with it. As an example of something similar, the first line under the Personal Life heading in Mark Sanchez (which currently has Good Article status) says "Sanchez is an avid fan of musical theatre" so this type of material isn't without precedent. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 18:57, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- See WP:OTHERSTUFF. Go Phightins! (talk) 19:00, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- Fair point, but I didn't compare the inclusion of this piece of information to just any other article. I will reiterate that Mark Sanchez has Good Article status, which means it went through a comprehensive review process. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 19:05, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- All right, that's true, but I don't think this is necessary for comprehensive coverage on Wilson. A question I like to ask is, "In x (for the sake of argument here let's say 5) years is anyone going to want to know x (in this case what his favorite tv show five years ago is)" By that time, I'd guess it'd be something else. Also, there is no way to verify in 2 months what his favorite TV show is. Even in Sanchez's case, the statement is that he's a fan of theatre, not a specific show, but theatre in general. Go Phightins! (talk) 19:09, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- I think this is a question of prose. You're right that in five years this info will be outdated and probably no longer accurate. Maybe it should be changed to "In 2012, Wilson said" or something along those lines. But this is a living document so it's impossible to write this article in the context of what will make sense five years from now. Five years ago, the first line of this article would've said "Russell Wilson is a quarterback at NC State." aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 19:16, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, but that had to do with something garnering continuing coverage...I doubt it receives major press if and when he changes his favorite TV show. I guess I would be OK with it being changed to "In 2012", but I still think that this is not encyclopedic information, but I'll stipulate to consensus. Let's wait a day or two and see if anyone else comments. Go Phightins! (talk) 19:19, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- Sounds good. Another option I'll throw out there is that since he said it in the context of being named the starter (he was asked by a reporter how he celebrated being named the starter and responded that he watched a few episodes of his favorite show, Entourage), perhaps the sentence could be changed to reflect that? It would solve the problem of becoming outdated and would provide more context too. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 19:24, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- That's acceptable I suppose, but let's wait. Go Phightins! (talk) 19:26, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Somehow, someone figured in the average column that that a 62.39 plus 63.2 averages to 63.8
Actually isn't 63.07, (likely displayed 63.1)

Infobox Picture.
A while back, when a more recent football related picture was made available of Russell, it was added to the infobox, but someone reverted this yesterday, so I changed the picture in the infobox back to the more recent, football related picture, which is more appropriate than him at some random golf event which isn't even football related. Chambr (talk) 23:18, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- This pic is already in the article (here). The other one isn't. Coltsfan (talk) 23:33, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- Then let's remove it from the main body of the article, as it better fits the infobox than the other? Chambr (talk) 00:12, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
- Don't know about that. The one you like fits better in the context of that section. Makes more sense the way it is, in my opinion. Coltsfan (talk) 00:20, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
- I just think that a football related, not to mention more recent picture is best for the main picture of the article, but I won't keep trying to change it based solely on my opinion. Chambr (talk) 00:29, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
- I just read over that area, you specified, Coltsfan, and you are right, I think the article should stay how it is. Chambr (talk) 00:46, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Russell Wilson is African American, and once referred to his fellow African American teammates as the "Jackson 5"[1]. Lorrainx (talk) 22:34, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
Not done - There are a couple problems here. First, edit requests should contain specific text of the change that is required. However, in this case, given the recent edit warring, it's clear what material you are requesting. That brings us to the second problem; as stated in the {{edit template-protected}}, edit requests "should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus." Given the edit war, it is clear that consensus does not yet exist. Please discuss on this talk page, and see WP:Dispute resolution for guidance on options for developing a consensus. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:45, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Barek, It is obvious that you are abusing your power as an administrator. Under Wikipedia content dispute it states: "Administrators should not protect or unprotect a page to further their own positions in content disputes." This is obvious because Wikipedia's policy is the let stand the most recent edit. That was my edit of yesterday. Instead you simply sided with the other editor by using his or her edit. The whole idea that you wont allow it be stated at Wikipedia that Russell Wilson is "African American is racist." He's never referred to himself as "multiracial" or "mostly African American." My reference to Russell Wilson as African American is referenced by the Seattle newspapers. And the fact that he is. Lorrainx (talk) 00:06, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Do not continue to mis-use the {{edit template-protected}} template. The problems with your request were mentioned above, and that remains unchanged. Continued mis-use of site templates to disrupt Wikipedia can potentially result in temporary revoking of editing privileges.
- As to your claims, it is clear that you misunderstand Wikipedia policy. Your claim of abuse can be summed up with WP:The Wrong Version. I am not involved in the content dispute, I have never reverted content, have not taken sides, and have instead provided guidance on Wikipedia policies and guidelines for how to resolve content disputes. Whatever version was there at the time of the page protection is the version that remained. If you believe I have abused my admin abilities, feel free to take it up at WP:ANI.
- Meanwhile, if you wish to resolve the content dispute, as I stated before, the appropriate action would be to use this talk page to establish consensus, and the guidance at WP:Dispute resolution can help you with that process. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 02:07, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Abstinence
I'm a bit confused as to why my edits regarding Wilson's sexual abstinence are being removed. Is the implication that this information is somehow not notable? I'd love to see someone attempt to make an argument to that effect. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 13:06, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- I removed it because it seems like a pretty clear WP:NOTNP issue. Wilson's sexual proclivities with a girlfriend is gossip, not really encyclopedic. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 19:09, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- I don't think it's "gossip" if it's something he openly and proudly practices and encourages other Christians to practice. Why not go to Tim Tebow's page or Lolo Jones' page and remove the information about their being abstinent? It is a very significant lifestyle choice and probably more encyclopedic than most other information that's included under a given person's "personal life" header. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 19:57, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- See WP:OTHERSTUFF. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 01:39, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- This is not encyclopedic, that information is inferred with Wilson being referred to as a devout christian and is unnecessary to point out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willmiller10 (talk • contribs) 03:43, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- "Inferred?" Are you kidding? He has explicitly said so on multiple occasions. I cited to two different sources. I can't believe the amount of resistance with which I'm being met here. I feel like this is some kind of joke. I can't imagine an article having too much valid, noteworthy information. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 17:50, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- yes, inferred. Wilson is referred to as a 'Devout' Christian which means to have an earnest and sincere devotion to his religion which is Christianity. One of the common practices of devout christians is practicing abstinence, so therefore, yes, it is inferred and highlighting that information is unnecessary. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/devout — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:EDE7:8700:D2D:8642:843C:9183 (talk) 20:11, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure how exactly I am supposed to go about the formal way to submit a request, I am just a die hard Russell Wilson fan and I am upset by this page. I just wanted to suggest an edit to the general information box on the right hand side of the page under the Career information tab, Stating that Russell Wilson's attended North Carolina State as his "College" as well as Wisconsin since he did play football and baseball at NC State for 3 years.
Perhaps it could read as follows, College: North Carolina State (2007-2010), Wisconsin (2011)
Also I am requesting an education tab in that general information box (since the tab states that his "College" was Wisconsin, when he only transferred there as a graduate transfer and played football there for one football season where he did earn a master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis in that one year, but obtained his bachelor’s degree in Broadcast/Communications in three years at North Carolina State where he also earned half of the credits that went towards his Master's degree before obtaining it from Wisconsin) Willmiller10 (talk) 03:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Not done: as you have not requested a specific change in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
More importantly, you have not cited reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 13:01, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Removal of VIZIO award
I was Bold and removed the VIZIO awards as they are NOT sanctioned by the NFL to my knowledge. If you disagree, feel free to bring it up here. Chambr (talk) 23:22, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Two editors way past 3RR - both could have been blocked. Sort it out here. Further editwarring after protection lapses is likely to result in blocking. Doug Weller talk 17:21, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
- This is about the issue of highlighting the fact that is Russel Wilson multiracial. I tought it failry straight forward since his(Wilson's) literal quote on the subject is I'm mixed man! I've got a little bit of everything. Here's the interview of the video where he states it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKlLSuKxhZ4&t=2m48s
- BUT the man's literal quote isn't enough for aqwfyj, who keeps insisting Wilson doesn't identify as multiracial and reverts every edit no matter how well sourced. even threatened me with block. Nezi1111 (talk) 17:28, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
- In a more recent source, written by Wilson, which I have cited, he identifies as African American. His Native American ancestry is also acknowledged. He does not identify as multiracial. Request comment from other editors as is customary if you think your version should take precedence. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 17:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
- you do know there is a slight distinction between race and culture, right? You can choose your culture but you can't choose your race/ethnicity. An individual can be mixed ethnically, but african american culturally. Like Halle Berry, who's black and white ethnically, but identifies with african american culture. The fact that he's african american wan't removed. but you seem hell bent on removing the fact that he's mixed. Nezi1111 (talk) 17:39, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Where have you vanished? Is this your version of consensus? Silence and delay while the page reflects your edits/views/agenda, but act as if you're unavailable when you're edits are challenged on the talk page? Nezi1111 (talk) 17:52, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Should the language addressing Wilson's ethnicity be changed?
Current language: "Wilson's ethnicity is mostly African American, with Native American ancestry." aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 01:29, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Obviously the man's multiracial background should be highlighted. especially since he said so himself. I'm mixed man! I've got a little bit of everything here's the link to interview quote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKlLSuKxhZ4&t=2m48s
Nezi1111 (talk) 01:31, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Stating that he has African American and Native American ancestry would make stating that he is multiracial redundant. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 01:35, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Stating Wilson is multiracial, his background is AA and NA is not. you're a racist, you want to censor his multi-ethnic heritage. Nezi1111 (talk) 01:44, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Please comment on content, not contributors. FWIW, it is redundant. If he has AA and NA ancestry, it's implied he's multiracial. clpo13(talk) 10:39, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

- Comment on the statement "Wilson's ethnicity is mostly African American, with Native American ancestry." What is mostly? This statement unscientific and therefore un encyclopedic. The statement should be, Wilson is off african american and nativam american ancestry. or if you want to be really specific He's mixed with afrian american and native american. These are scientific terms. WillsonSS3 (talk) 15:39, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- "Mostly" by definition is more than 50%. Wilson indicates in one of the sources that he is mostly African American, and that is corroborated from other sources in the section. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 16:09, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- too vague. WillsonSS3 (talk) 16:28, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- ...but your proposed sentence is even more vague. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 16:33, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

- Support - Wilson is of African American and Native American ancestry. Noting that he is also "mixed" would be redundant. Meatsgains (talk) 18:28, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - I agree in that the wording should say "Wilson is of African American and Native American descent and/or ancestry." We don't need any redundancy in the article, and the mixed ethnic background is implied in the above sentence. Cheers, Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 19:07, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
