Rams

The null edit was to put the names of the players added into the edit summary, so that when searching through the history we can easily find the names if needed.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 23:23, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay. My bad.RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 23:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for using edit summaries however do you mind doing something like, "LB Anthony Felder signed", which gives the position and name of the player in the edit summary. Thanks!--Giants27 ^T/C 01:25, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I will do it that way from now on. No problem.RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 01:27, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again!--Giants27 ^T/C 02:01, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey can you stop adding "Pre-draft measureables" because it violates WP:NOT#STATS. Cheers,--Giants27 ^T/C 02:25, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

And me Chrisjnelson and Yankees10 agreed to not create articles for undrafted free agents unless they make the team so can you please stop until then. Thanks!--Giants27 ^T/C 02:28, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Howabout a yes and no. I won't do new articles, last one was Cord Parks. But the pre-draft measureables I really copied for other places. There were many, many, before me. But it's just a table and it seems encyclopedic to me. Why is there concern? RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 02:34, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

If you read the policy link I left you'd realize what the problem was it reduces the readability because there's a big table in the middle of the article, however feel free to work it into the article like "NAME scored the highest score of anyone in the 2009 draft class with a perfect score on the Wonderlic Test" that would work, table definetely not. And thanks for stopping don't work about the past ones you created since they might make the team but do realize that the ones that are cut will be put at AfD or prodded. Anyways thanks!--Giants27 ^T/C 02:39, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, I can see your point, but don't agree. It is footbaall after all. Sometimes a table can make somehting more readable, not less. It seems like a "I say tomato, you say toMAto" kind of deal, is there are compromise? I really like the tables. I liked the one on Javon Ringer, it's smaller, that would be find with me, but I don't know how to do that. It takes the same table and reduced it is size. Besides, the info is interesting isn't it? Seems the balance between a perception in "readability" and "encyclpoedic information" is a tough one. I don't know the right answer, but it seems very few people object to the tables. However, can we agree to disagree?

On the articles, I agree with you, unless they make a team, then there is no use in making new ones.RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 02:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks I actually like the smaller ones not as obtrusive.--Giants27 ^T/C 18:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah good idea, it looks much better--Yankees10 21:26, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Javon Ringer

This one is smaller, can the old ones be converted?RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 02:50, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay. RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 02:27, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Eric Young

Please see my changes at Eric Young (American football) and try to make such changes when updating player pages. I know it's a lot to remember and it's okay if you don't remember everytime.--Giants27 (t|c|r|s) 23:24, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay. I will do it that way . . . no problem. RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 01:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Errors

Please watch for errors, youve done a good job updating, but you have made a bunch of errors on the pages you have edited. So please review the things you have added before saving so the errors dont continue, thanks.--Yankees10 23:15, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

My problem

My problem is you copy paste info from players bios on the official sites and you make numerous errors which you do not fix. Its getting ridiculous now.--Yankees10 23:19, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that makes sense.RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 23:23, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah it does, you copied the info from Michael Boleys bio at Giants.com and pasted it here.--Yankees10 23:24, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Who made you the owner of that article?RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 23:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

It has nothing to do with ownership. You are not allowed to copy/paste info from another site and put it here.--Yankees10 23:29, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Go away please.RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 23:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Ill go away as soon as you stop ruining articles with your copy/paste garbage and numerous errors.--Yankees10 23:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Please go away.RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 23:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

He's right you can not copy/paste content from another source as obviously that is plagarism, so please stop.--Giants27 (t|c|r|s) 00:06, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Like this? [1]RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 00:07, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

That's a perfect example of what you can do, what your're doing copy/pasting the entire section and changing a few words is not okay. What you can do is look over the section and take bits and pieces (with different wording of course) and put them together to make "your own" info instead of copying it.--Giants27 (t|c|r|s) 01:06, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

There is no such thing as a little bit pregnant. He took it verbatim. I always change it some. When dealing with sports there are sometimes only a few ways you can say things when it has to do with statistics. When it comes to honors and awards, there is limited things that can be said. Also, wouldn't you agree that a article from a newspaper or book or blog or something written by an author is one thing, but information such as statistics, games started, honors, etc. are in school and team websites for the purpose of dissemination and not the same as say a Sports Illustrated article.? A (for example) bio of a player from the University of Nebraska created by the Sports Information Department and a bio for an NFL player is created by the Public Relations Staff . . . they want the infomation out there. Nonetheless, I do try and change the wording, make sure it is reworded as much as possible. But when a guy accuses me of something he does himself, well, that's hypocracy. --Again. there is no such thing as a little bit pregnant. So, I have no problem with you, but I don't need the other guy posting here. He did exactly what he said I did.RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 01:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Jon Jansen has not signed with the Lions, please wait until he passes the physical and it becomes official.--Giants27 (t|c|r|s) 02:15, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay. That's no problem, do it on Monday, then.RussFrancisTE81 (talk) 02:20, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:NFC-Throwback2-Uniform-STL 1972.png

Thanks for uploading File:NFC-Throwback2-Uniform-STL 1972.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:12, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
