on several occasions in this bio...the NFL player Brock Osweiler is listed at 6 foot 8 inches. In the article itself, it has a detailed break down of Osweiler's "draft measurements" in which it says Osweiler is 6 foot 6 and 7/8s inches. I would like Osweiler to be listed at 6 foot 7 inches as a rounded number. stating that he is two different heights is not accurate, nor does it give Wikipedia, an encyclopedia known as more accurate than encyclopedia Britannica, a good reputation for quick facts. Now I know Osweiler is often referred to as 6 foot 8 but his draft measurements say it all, he is barely even 6 foot 7. Gavinhoy (talk) 15:14, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- We simply go with what NFL.com/Broncos.com lists him as. Yes, he very well may be actually 6'7', but trying to guess every players real height based on old sources can result in WP:OR and edit warring, since most of them are exaggerated anyway. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 20:42, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- He measured 6'6 7/8 at the 2012 NFL Combine, and the article has been multiply referenced to reflect his height at the more accurate rounded number of 6'7. Redthoreau -- (talk) 19:07, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Which team
I've temporarily fully protected the page so you'll all have to talk about the team issue here, instead of edit warring on the article and run the risk of getting blocked. —SMALLJIM 21:20, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
I've asked User:Bdnh85 to write a short explanation of the issue here. —SMALLJIM 21:35, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
I did nothing wrong. Seems like a bunch of kids trying to change when the teams has yet to announce. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bdnh85 (talk • contribs) 21:38, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
- When is the announcement due? —SMALLJIM 21:46, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
- If he passes his physical it shouldn't be much longer. Fully protecting is a little too much I think.--Yankees10 21:57, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks - there's no fixed date/time then. Regarding the page protection, just look at the recent edit history! It was necessary. —SMALLJIM 22:04, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

You should thank me. If I had admin powers all the protections would be in place from the start — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bdnh85 (talk • contribs) 22:36, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
