NEED FOR UPDATE

Somebody please update the Super Bowl XLVII page!! The regular season is starting and the Wikipedia page is still not updated. Please do it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.229.231.171 (talk) 14:20, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What specifically needs to be updated? The league has not officially announced much about it -- not even an official announcement about the halftime show yet. Last year, the Super Bowl XLVI article was similar (see the archived version). The only difference was a preliminary list of foreign broadcasters, and a verified report about a political ad. So again, could you be more specific on what needs updated? Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:32, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mardi Gras 2013

Mardi Gras 2013 is on February 12 so if the NFL Regular Season is extended to 18 games (2 bye weeks as a possibility) it may conflict with the Carnival Season. Night Tracks (talk) 10:26, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I put the logo in since it was the format the NFL uses and seen it in the Super Bowl XLVI program. It may have to be changed when a better one comes out or when the logo with the stadium in the background becomes available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryn Morgan (talk • contribs) 20:10, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No logo yet, this is suprising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.81.112 (talk) 00:42, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Needs to be updated after Conference Championships

This page will need to be updated after the conclusion of the Conference Championships to represent the two teams playing in the game. Wikifan0703 (talk) 21:03, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Scoring

When the game starts, people are going to be updating the score as the game goes on. To prevent any edit conflicts, should we designate probably one person to keep track of the score, and any edits involving content or such be set aside until a break in the action? ZappaOMati 03:12, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think that would help since other users would try to edit it. Isn't there a special lock that allows for a review before adding info to the article? I believe that it might help any future problems come Feb. 3rd. (Otherwise, the Current Event template might help.) --Super Goku V (talk) 03:40, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is WP:Pending changes, which is probably the special lock you're referring to. But then again, the Template:Current sport template could also work. ZappaOMati 03:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, that was what I was going for. I was thinking that PCP Level 2 with Semi-protection would be good for this article, but since it doesn't exist yet, either the Current sport template or PCP Level 1 should be a good idea to keep the editing volume, and thus edit conflicts, down to a minimum. --Super Goku V (talk) 03:52, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This article is currently under semi-protection until February 10 due to persistent vandalism by unregistered users (IP addresses), as well as edits from any newly-registered accounts that are not autoconfirmed. A number of IP addresses were vandalizing this page several months ago trying to play "fortune teller" and entering various teams and scores in advance. I still support semi-protection, as various Ravens and 49ers fans will want to do the same in the next couple of weeks. Thus, the only people who currently would be able to edit this page are established users. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:57, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Huh, so it is already semi-protected. In any case, I would say that any protection that allows only establised users would be nice. (If it is highly successful, then I would suggest that it should be used next year for the XLVIII page.) --Super Goku V (talk) 05:59, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Story Lines

Someone should add a story line section for the game, clearly. With it being brother vs. brother, that's one. With the retirement of Ray Lewis is another. It needs to be said. Plenty of good sourced material about it. It is the overwhelming theme of the game this year.Zdawg1029 (talk) 04:00, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I didn't see that at the top.Zdawg1029 (talk) 04:02, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Higher loss teams

Anyone have info regarding the two teams WinLoss records? Like is this the lowest combined WinLoss percentage by the two SB teams? Given the Ravens 10-6 record and the 49ers 11-4-1 it begs the question. I might look it up later in the week when I have more time if no one else has. 72.129.148.164 (talk) 05:07, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no list on Wikipedia that contains the data. However, by luck, I did end up finding Super Bowl XLVI, and from there, Super Bowl XIV. XIV is likely the one you are looking for, but XLVI might be worth you time as well. Hopefully, this data might be able to somehow help the article. --Super Goku V (talk) 05:50, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking of random stats that are so prevalent in NFL lore, I was thinking maybe this Super Bowl might be the one with the lowest combined WinLoss percentage from their regular seasons. Or least winningest teams to participate. But it is not so. This SB is 2nd or 3rd, depending on how one ranks ties. SBs XIV and XLIII are tied for first with combined regular season WinLoss percentage of 65.6 percent. The other SB you cite XLVI would be 4th with 68.8 percent. Oh, BTW, this years contest's participants Ravens & 49ers have the combined regular season WinLoss pecentage at 67.2. Is it relevant? How many of these types of stats are? 72.129.148.164 (talk) 02:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, on some of the Super Bowl articles there is a section about Statistics which may contain a sort-of subsection on things like team comparison, individual statistic leaders, and records made during or about the Super Bowl. The last one is a bit more difficult to find as I have only seen it on Super Bowl XLII and articles since then, so it might be harder to know what would work for it. Still, I hope this helps to answer your question.  :) --Super Goku V (talk) 05:44, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 21 January 2013

Missed field goal by Billy Cundif in the 2011 AFC Championship Game was potentially game tying not game winning. 66.66.190.243 (talk) 12:06, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Cost of 30-second commercial"

It is stated that the cost a 30-second commercial is US$4 million. There is an attached footnote [2], linking to "CBS Q4 Profits Soar on Streaming Deals (Updated). The Wrap. Retrieved February 15, 2012." (http://www.thewrap.com/media/article/cbs-4q-profits-soar-despite-revenue-dip-35435).

Said article states "One reason revenues remained flat is that CBS' sports portfolio was not quite as large. It aired the Super Bowl, the most-watched television event in the country, in 2010 but not in 2011. CBS will feature the game again in 2012, and Moonves (CBS CEO, at least as of February 2012) predicted advertising rates of $4 million a spot."

An 11 month old prediction of ad costs is hardly a fact. An "estimated" asterick, or more accurate/updated source should be listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.190.232.146 (talk) 22:54, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Done -- Irn (talk) 14:27, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

probably need the point spread mentioned

You know, 49'rs by 50. :-), sorry, it just came out - I'll find a RS to cite, tho!!!!HammerFilmFan (talk) 13:14, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"50 points"?? ZappaOMati 05:04, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, like in, you know, the Bearssssth  :-)
Sorry, but I think that it was 75 points instead. ;) All joking aside, here are three sites that might be possible references. --Super Goku V (talk) 23:32, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please update links to include 49ersparadise.com as a source for more information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.151.190.144 (talk) 16:18, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, I would decline this. See our guidelines on Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided, specifically rule #13. The site you suggested is a general 49ers news site, not specifically about Super Bowl XLVII. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:51, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The 49ers wore red jerseys in Super Bowls XIX, XXIII, and XXIX, following the 1984, 1988, and 1994 seasons, respectively. They wore white jerseys in Super Bowls XVI and XXIV, following the 1981 and 1989 seasons, respectively. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.192.6.217 (talk) 20:32, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really need to know that? ZappaOMati 21:41, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: Broadcast in Brazil

Would you please update this article: these are the Super Bowl XLVII broadcasters in Brazil: televisions Esporte Interativo (free-to-air) and ESPN (pay-TV), and radio ESPN (Internet Only). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frab2008 (talk • contribs) 17:40, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 30 January 2013

The 49ers wore their red "home" uniforms in Super Bowl XXIII not Super Bowl XXIV. The Denver Broncos were the home team in Super Bowl XXIV and wore their orange uniforms; thus the 49ers wore their white "road" uniforms.

Fixed. –Thatotherperson (talk/contribs) 04:39, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

International broadcasters

The game will be broadcast in Russia by NTV Plus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTV_Plus). Add please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.42.7.218 (talk) 10:55, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

UTC time

After the Central Standard Time of 5.30pm, could you put "(11.30 pm UTC)" please so that people in countries other than the US have an idea of when it's starting? thanks. 86.133.51.223 (talk) 13:25, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, but I'm pretty sure the world is familiar with the time zones that have been around "forever." Give other countries some credit. HammerFilmFan (talk) 22:37, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Australian broadcast

In Australia the game IS being broadcast on free-to-air via Channel 10 (currently only the cable TV ESPN broadcast is mentioned). I know this because it is on the TV in the office break room. If someone could find a link for this and correct the Australian listing that would be good. (I'm at work and can't find the links due to restricted network access.)

What happened to the sandbox?

Seriously. Where is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.157.73.73 (talk) 01:31, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it, thanks for letting us know about the problem. Ryan Vesey 01:41, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Does it get included? I haven't found a news source yet. Ryan Vesey 01:39, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You sure? CBS is only showing the Ravens sideline, which is lit. Jim Nantz also said press box lights are down. ZappaOMati 02:06, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

yes. Btw, sorry about the First Link. Posting here with my mobilephone. The IE sucks on windowsphone 7. EricDuckman (talk) 02:16, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
watching the Game on German TV. We doesn't have the "nipplegate" delay in the broadcast. We are live without this two Minute delay in American broadcast. EricDuckman (talk) 02:56, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We have some fixing to do

I want to wait on changes to make sure I heard it right, but they just said the Jacoby Jones only ran for 108 yards and tied the all-time record again. It's still be a super bowl record though. Ryan Vesey 02:30, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Broadcasters in Italy...

...are Sportitalia 2 (DTT, Sky platform, lang:it) and ESPN America (Sky only, lang:en). --Frank87 (talk) 02:53, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Power outage

Later this section should be looked into about how the nfl may have manufactured the power outage to keep get the niners back into the game and how it affected the momentum of the game. Some one will do a story on this for sure to provide sources.24.112.193.54 (talk) 03:14, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We can only do that if reliable sources make that claim. I also don't see how that would help then either since it would appear that the outage would have affected both teams equally since they both stopped playing for the exact same time.--174.93.160.57 (talk) 03:21, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
