Selectivity on All-Pros

Drew Pearson (American football) is a perfect example. His "honors" were perfectly listed. However, for some reason, the "combining" did not take place with him. If the Alan Page "11 All-pro" model were to be followed then Pearson would be a 5-time All-Pro, but even after and update, he is listed as All-pro in 1975, 75, 77. That is 3 times. So, for him, the "new" and flawed rules don't apply, but for others (who some editors may like) they get their All-pro resumes puffed up. Like was mention potential synthesis 72.0.36.36 (talk)

ALl-Pros 2

As I predicted, all that changing of the All-pros two editors did now needs to be reversed. The wesbite they used for verification has changed its date to reflect accurately the All-Pros. [1] Ted Hendricks is not an 11-time All-Pro. Is there going to be control of editors who are out-of-control? 72.0.36.36 (talk) 03:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Super Bowl XLVI

I've been working on a draft article, here, when would be an okay time to turn it into an official article? Thanks for any input, I don't want to start this up too soon. HoosierState^Talk 22:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a bit too early. i think you aught to wait bought a year. [lukethespook] | ^{[t c r]} 23:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is also too early, and you should have waited before publishing it on to the mainspace.--~S R S~ 03:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New multi-link stats template for external links sections

So I noticed that baseball players have a template in their External links sections that includes links to various stat websites. Well I don't know if there's an NFL equivalent, but I can't recall seeing one and I know for sure there isn't one widely in use on NFL player articles. To that end, I've created one and it's located at Template:Footballstats. It includes possible links to NFL.com, ESPN, CBS Sports, Yahoo!, Fox Sports, SI and Rotoworld. I'm also going to add links to CFL.ca and ArenaFan.com. If we all could start adding that to NFL player article, that'd be great. It'd definitely cut down on the space in the ELs section spent on various links.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 07:09, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does this go for coaches too? I'm pretty sure www.pro-football-reference.com has every coach ever. I doubt sites like ESPN has the stats for Chuck Noll. Are there any other sites we could use for coaches? Black ngold29 13:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't think about coaches, but now I remember I need to add PFR to this template.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 14:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NFL first round picks

I tried to make a below template for all the NFL team first round pick templates. I ran into a problem because half of them use the {{navbox}} and half use the {{CFB navbox}}. The change I wanted to make was to add Template:NFL First Round Draft Pick template list to the bottom. The DFB half were a problem becuase something went wrong with my title color correction. The change has been WP:CSDed. However, part of the the problem is that the templates should all use the same style navbox. Then when one wants to make a change to all the templates it will be possible stylistically. All these templates should say see also {{List of NFL team first-round draft picks}} at the bottom. This would make my attempted change unnecessary.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some help

could someone help me find some images to use in the article for Trey Lewis. Pretty much every image i've managed to come up with has been shot down by a certian wikipedian who's really stiff on image rules. [lukethespook] | ^{[t c r]} 23:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Team Mascots

I recently re-wrote the article on Steely McBeam, including pretty much everything that I thought was notable (and maybe a few things that were not, such as the arrest). It's still pretty short, as are most mascot articles. Would it be reasonable to merge all team mascots into the team's main article? After looking down the List of National Football League mascots it would seem most of the article's are shorter than the team infobox at the bottom. The mascot's are notable, but maybe not notable enough to have their own article. Black ngold29 15:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Drafted or Originally Drafted

A mediation case has been started on how strictly NFL player articles should be standardized. Some feel all articles should say a person was "originally drafted by..." while others feel they should just say the player was drafted by such and such team unless they've moved on to another team. Please see Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-05-05 Tyrell Johnson (American football) for more discussion on this subject. 67.137.0.28 (talk) 03:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
