NFL infoboxes

Hi, per WP:NFLINFOBOX, runner-ups/finalists are not notable for inclusion on NFL infoboxes here. Please revert your mass additions. Eagles 24/7 (C) 16:33, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Not sure why you sent me an e-mail instead of replying here. Eagles 24/7 (C) 16:51, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

The e-mail button is what I noticed first. Who can make a ruling on an NFL 100 Finalist being a career highlight or award? I can't imagine a football fan not agreeing that being great enough to be mentioned on a short list for 100 years of NFL football qualifies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgconboy (talk • contribs) 16:54, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

I somewhat agree with your reasoning, but it's similar to not listing Pro Football Hall of Fame finalists or semi-finalists in the infobox. Basically, the infoboxes get very cluttered so WP:NFLINFOBOX was created as a guideline for what to include in order to prevent infobox "creep". If you believe finalists for the 100th Anniversary Team should be added to WP:NFLINFOBOX, please start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Football League to help form a consensus with other members of the NFL WikiProject.

Use of "re", "ping" templates

You should be aware that the notification templates, like {{re}} do not cause notifications unless they are simultaneously processed with a signature (~~~~). So your addition of the "re" templates in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Football League didn't notify the people you intended. To notify them, you should add a separate paragraph at the end of your comments with the notifications, with your signature. When wikipedia processes the quadruple tilde, at that point it goes and looks for notifications it should process. Regards, Tarl N. (discuss) 15:00, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Tarl N, I've moved on so I won't need any more tips. Good looking out though.
