Cowher Image

Hey I deleted the image Cower.gif from my homepage. Sorry for deleting your tag, you're right it's not fair use, I just really liked the picture.

Good fix on the Eagles page with regard to hall of fame induction dates. Looks much better I'll admit I was to lazy to do it right now. Thanks --Looper5920 04:43, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

NFL Capital!

This is Alakazam here! I got the NFL Capital division here from Football @ JT-SW.com. While I was making season-by-season tables for articles of NFL Teams that didn't have any is when I noticed it. When I checked every team that played in the Mid to Late 1960s, they spelled that particular division NFL Capital. That's how it happened, I Swear!

OK! Thanks for understanding! I just didn't know! OK! I'll agree with U and the NFL by switching Capital to Capitol "One!" (A Joke) Seriously, I'll do it!

You're Welcome! Well, I do what I can!

Indianapolis Colts

For your information: I reverted your recent edit to this article. As stated on Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings): "Capitalise the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns in headings, but leave the rest lower case." Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:45, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

That's fine, I'm glad there is a standard. I was just going by what I saw on the Francise History (both were cap'd) on The Tennessee Titans. I will fix that one if it will put me in your good graces. --grubbmeister 19:58, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

RE: Palpatine...

They don't need to read beyond the spoiler warning to see the phrase "Darth Sidious" in big bold letters. This is a dead giveaway. Also, I don't think Lucas ever thought he was fooling anyone into thinking that Sidious and Palpatine were different people, given that they look and sound exactly the same and are both creditted to Ian McDiarmid. elvenscout742 00:54, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

What I really think is that it was a mistake to stick my nose back into the Palpatine-Darth Sidious wars again... [1] Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:09, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I reverted your edit to "Joe Namath". He is Hungarian-American, his parents were immigrants from Hungary. Google it and check it out for yourself. Abstrakt 01:02, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

A note on my RfA

I don't know whether this should have any bearing on my final tally (or if should even be concerned about it at this point), but as I've gone through the votes writing thank you notes, I realized that my nominator (Izehar) never actually voted in my RfA. BD2412 T 06:29, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Ann's RfA

Hi, Zzyzx11. I want to thank you for voting to support me in my RfA. I know I'm very late thanking you, but I've been a bit caught up with college work. I hope I'll live up to the expectations of those who voted for me. I look forward to working with you as a fellow admin. Thanks again. Cheers. AnnH ^(talk) 17:38, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

My RfB

Hi Zzyzx11 (ouch... my fingers got tangled up typing your name)!

As you may or may not know, I'm up for RfB again. You voted neutral on my first RfB, saying to try again in a couple of months. Well, it's been a couple of months, and I figured I would ask for your vote. I do not plan on "campaigning", but I do plan on notifying those who wished to be notified when I was up for RfB again. I believe you were one, so here I am! You may find my RfB here.

Football World Cup 2006

In Wikipedia, the "FIFA" is not included in the World Cup articles (i.e. "FIFA World Cup 2006 (qualification)" is not the same as "Football World Cup 2006"), so you might be creating dead links. I might be mistaken. Please respond on my talk page. IanManka 04:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Whoa, thanks

I figured that people would dislike me for trying to start those NFL seeding templates, but I guess if you're trying to help they must be a good idea. I guess I should've brought it up on the WikiProject, but admittedly I didn't one existed (for shame!). Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks for formatting them and for converting all the playoff articles. I thought they were gonna be toast. Thanks again.

Can we have only ONE link on broadcasting teams' assignments?

When we are describing announce teams or networks on sports pages, can we just have one link on the network as well as the title of who does what? This would be helpful during such events as the NFL Playoffs.

your comment

You wrote a comment on the talk page of this user: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rcappuccio and I think you were right. This user maintains the article about his software and about himself. Someone (he?) even deleted your comment on his talk page that this is not done. I don't know what to do next. Most of the article about himself is not important enough to be in Wikipedia I think. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Michaelvandorpe (talk • contribs)

Thanks for your reply on my talk page. I added some comments on the discussion page of the article on this person Talk:Roberto_Cappuccio. I didn't want to rewrite the whole thing (I don't like rewriting something that I feel shouldn't be there in the first place). Thanks for pointing me to wikipedia guidelines and policies as well. --Michaël 00:00, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your edit of User:Justin Eiler to remove a copyrighted image ... that was my bad. I didn't even think about using a trademarked image. Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow. --Justin Eiler 04:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. I am currently pretty much neutral on the Wikipedia:Proposed policy on userboxes, but I am still trying to enforce the fair use policy ... unlike some other users. As I understand it, the powers that be just want to avoid any type of copyright lawsuit involving copyrighted logos and images ... especially when they are owned by those powerful multi-national corporations like McDonald's.

Request For Protection Until Dispute Resolved

Hi, i want to know if its possible to protect the Gothic Metal article. A while back i performed a revision of the page after a near 2 month dispute on the articles contents. After intense discussion and several revisions of the talk page on the since deleted temp article, one of the users has proceeded to start vandalising pages ive edited. This user is DanteInferno. This user was involved in the debate in opposition to the revision i wished to make, which was made due to consensus being reached on the revision and the argument being abandonded against it being posted. Since the users return he has demanded that i am vandalising pages, and has claimed me of using sock puppets to make edits to pages, and has claimed several users dislike me and refuse to work with me. Both of these claims are unsourced. Dante also seems to exhibit Meglomanical Point of View, reverting any edits made to pages listed on his user page, on the basis he 'owns' the articles. I do not know clearly how to deal with this user, and i have posted this message to several admins as i wish to ask advice from several admins i have had no previous contact with, as i do not wish to seem biased. I hope that the page can be protected against this vandalism, as it is disrupting Wikipedia to prove a point, which along with the users other actions against me, is in violationg of several Wikipedia policys. Sorry for having to seek help this way, but i am at a loss at the best way to handle this users personal vendetta against me. Leyasu 17:20, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Just wanting to let you know

I have made a proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Football League for an official format for football games. Since you are one of the most active in the project I wanted to let you know. KramarDanIkabu 22:00, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

meanings of what i wrote

You said you had no idea what i wrote, but it makes sense to me, so i will tell you. bye meant first round bye. Wwsh meant two things. The "W" meant win, and the "wsh" meant Washington, so win against washington. the question mark meant unknown result, and "car/chi" meant carolina or chicago. I used the normal abbrevations for the teams and i borrowed the formatting style from a website that has similiar abbreviations. Pick any team and you will see this formatting. I dont see what is wrong with this style since I used the normal three letter abbreviation used by the media and W for win, which is also the normal style, so please tell me, which is why im writing this, cuz i really dont understand the problem.

Washington Redskins

I was merely following the format provided by the NFL Wikiproject, found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_National_Football_League/Team_pages_format

XXXIX Referees

We'll have to degree to disagree on that one then, officiating in the NFL at all, let alone in the Super Bowl seems like more than enough to make you notable, but since i'm not in any rush to start those articles, red link removal isn't a huge deal. Speaking of refrees, Jeff Triplette was created today by a disgruntled fan watching the Colts/Steelers game. Karma fist 06:30, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm a Mergist, so I have no problem with using those as a holding cell for referees that are notable but don't have enough content to put in about them to make a decent article, but it seems that Triplette at least would be notable on his own at this point, as well as a few others. Perhaps it's a permutation of the "average college professor" argument, then again, maybe not. I am incredibly lukewarm, but my feeling right now is that being an official of a major league sport makes you notable. Perhaps we should move this to the WP:BIO talk page. Karma fist 17:54, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I thought I saw him there, my bad for not correcting whoever it was who put that in there. Karma fist 17:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:NFL Referee Hochuli.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:NFL Referee Hochuli.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 03:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Verb number

Hi. Your edits changing "is" to "are" are resulting in inconsistent sentences, like in [3], where we have that "The Buffalo Bills are a team [...] that plays in the". To be properly grammatical, the number of the verb "play" would have to agree here, so it would read "The Buffalo Bills are a team [...] that play in the". Morwen - Talk 09:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Stumbled across this comment, but I don't see a problem with agreement in the sentence "They are a team that plays in the..." "are" has to agree with "they," but "plays" has to agree with "team" not "they". It's an awkward sentence anyway though. Why not just say "The Buffalo Bills play in the..." Peyna 14:04, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

What I am trying to do is from Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#State the obvious: "State facts which may be obvious to you, but are not necessarily obvious to the reader." Obviously, it is a work in progress. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, is it possible for you to lock the 1998-99 NBA season page temporarily?

I reference, in specific, your recent edits removing unsourced and unencylopedic comments apropos of the history of the Steelers and Seahawks; when I rewrote portions of the article, I left the offending portion in inasmuch as my goal at the time was simply to clean up the grammar and syntax and inasmuch as I didn't want to have my edits reverted by someone who objected to substantive deletions. Nevertheless, I was happy to see that you took care of the task. Cordially, Joe 21:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

My Super Bowl Edits

Hi this is Chainclaw. You may have noticed I do a lot of Super Bowl editing, and on many of my edits you question why I include info on drives that don't result in points(my recent edit on the second quarter of Super Bowl XII for example. Well since you keep asking, I figure I should go ahead and answer.

I think drives that get into scoring range, but do not result in points due to offensive errors, great defensive stands, or a combination of both, are worth mensioning just as much as drives that do score. They can be momentum changers, and have a big impact on the game.

State of the Union Address

Thanks for fixing the double redirect. If you get a chance, please block the vandal Bigtimeoperator. I left a note on WP:AN about his page move vandalism, but for some reason other users are taking him seriously. He fooled others into thinking that his complaint is that the year rather than the number of the speech was what he wanted, but in reality he's denying that Bush ever made his first state of the union speech.

What are you talking about?

<<zzyzx11 quote>>why are you such an annoying contributor? <<zzyzx11 quote>>

??????????????????????????

If you want to tell a contributor something say it . . . the last update I did on ANY wiki page was weeks ago, I never challenged your elmination of color coded seasons for pro teams (isn't the point of RESULTS to better understand a team's preformance?). So being co-operative and letting better experienced contribs take the lead is "annoying" you? Not sure what you are asking of me here, revert pages, and edit at lightspeed without much consensus? I am hoping you filed this under the wrong contribs page, if not please xplain.

Miracle at the Meadowlands image

Since you monitor NFL lore, you have probably noticed I've been in the process of turning The Miracle at the Meadowlands from a redirect into a genuine article (As a Giants' fan at that time, I had to swallow hard when I stuck with the name. I decided to stick with the existing name because it's used elsewhere on Wikipedia, "The Fumble" is the Browns' one, and Google returned more hits for the "Miracle." Plus I couldn't find a neutral-sounding name that wasn't awkward.

I'd like to know what NFL Films title you got the screenshot from. I'm thinking this could be a featured article at some point (hence the serious research I've started doing), and I think it would be nice to have either screenshots or a sequence of illustrations showing how the fumble occurred.

Super Bowl Trivia

I saw the thing on Swann on SB X, any others? I am not aware of any. The 64 yard catch however is not mentioned as a SB record in the intro. A trivia item should put the record setting catch in context, or it should be included up top. Hholt01 08:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

There were never any firsts?

Removing legit firsts from Super Bowl trivia sections is a matter of opinion but not then revising the content of the page where the play is mentioned is book burning . . . yes several of the 1970's super bowl descriptions include the safety, the yards gained, but they fail to mention the records set in their entirety or tell the reader that it was the first in an NFL game.

I chose to put those items in trivia, not to further describe the play (the play by play at the actual games did not stop every time a first was accomplished) since firsts and mosts are more trivial then play-by-play.

How is the first safety, the first blocked punt, etc. not worthy of inclusion? Hholt01 08:59, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

"Burning books", huh? And I thought it was only Seahawks fans who were currently emotional. So while you were writing your message, I took the liberty of trying to look up the specific stats and figures to verify your "first and mosts", and then add it to the article. It is not enough to say "first", but have the evidence to back it up. But then again, I am not sure if we even should have this debate, or even a "Trivia" section at all. After all, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a sports trivia site. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 09:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

New England Patriots (postseason summary?)

Hi. I noticed the very nice New England Patriots article that you helped assemble. I added a postseason summary section to the New York Yankees article here and was wondering if you think something like that would be useful for football? Some interesting patterns come to light like the fact that the Yankees knocked Kansas City out of the playoffs three straight years and, if one was made for Texas, you'd see the Yankees knocked them out of the playoffs every year they've ever been in the playoffs. I've gotten no feedback on it. Maybe it's overkill? For football, you could also include playoff game scores, etc.

On a similar note, I re-did the nasty looking World Series article and gathered all the random bits of trivia into its own section here. I notice further up in your talk page, you mention an aversion to trivia sections due to this guideline. It seems like that applies to the World Series article as well, no? Are there any standards on this front?

Thanks! :) —Wknight94 (talk) 14:05, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

-=nods=- Okay; I don't mind if we add the games into the chart; it will enhance the informative edge of the article without taking away much stability in the prose. Deckiller 19:33, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Oh yeah, the Steelers and Seahawks pages do have each postseason game listed. Who knew? I don't think any of the baseball pages go to that level of detail, i.e. giving the record and standings of every single season. Most of them are already way oversized as it is... Well, I may mention a different layout somewhere if I think a better one could be achieved. I'll let you know. —Wknight94 (talk) 19:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

My Revision

I reverted the Patriots infobox info because the "Nicknames = The Pats" was already included under the visible parameter "other nicknames." I was aware that it didn't show up in the infobox, but I figured that since it was already included and invisible it was doubly unnecessary. I simply rolled it back, so I didn't get a chance to enter an edit summary. Is there any reason for keeping it in? I'm also not exactly fluent in coding (read: I know what I've gleaned from previously entered code, and nothing more), so if there was a reason hidden in the Wikipedia:HiddenStructure page, I may not have understood/read it (i pretty much skimmed it, didn't get most of it, and closed it). Thanks for the help. --jfg284 ^{you were saying?} 21:10, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

You're absolutely right about my hastily mistaking the differences in input and output, and I'm kicking myself for my stupidity. As for when to roll back, point taken. Thanks, and my bad for the mistake.--jfg284 ^{you were saying?} 02:14, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Re:Welcome back

I actually had seen that category before you mentioned it and wondered why such a general category would be useful. Thanks for clearing it up. Howabout1 20:31, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for pointing out the informaiton on image naming. I will replace them with new versions having better names. Thanks, Johntex\^talk 00:40, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Done. Thanks agin, Johntex\^talk 02:02, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Template:User Fascist

Regarding this template, you wrote "How is "I support [political position X]" a personal attack?". It's obviously not a personal attack. The template {{db-attacktemplate}} is unfortunately named. But if you read what it says and look at the Templates section of WP:CSD, you'll see that divisive and/or inflammatory templates can be deleted. I nominated it because some users were unhappy that various templates endorsing or opposing antifascism, Marxism, etc. were being deleted. This template is really no different: it fulfills the divisive/inflammatory criterion of CSD, because it divides Wikipedians by real-life distinctions that have little or no bearing on one's existence as a Wikipedian. And because it's a political template, which Jimbo has discouraged, it's almost certain to rub some of the people the wrong way. Apply what I call RX StrangeLove's test: What would you expect would happen if someone put up a sign that reads "This employee self-identifies as a fascist" in their place of work? If the answer is "pretty much nothing", we're fine; if not, we have a problem. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 20:57, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: Anti-fascism

Thank you for your assistance and direction on the anti-fascism tag. It was indeed my intention for speedy deletion of this tag, so I would appreciate any guidance you may have for me as to how to make that happen. Please retag it as you see fit. 23:00, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate that explanation and for the information about the discussion that's going on. Thanks. Nhprman 23:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Lucy Pinder Image

I dont think there is a problem with that Image I uploaded for Lucy Pinder.

skins.be is a wallpaper site where it is absolutely free to download those wallpapers.

So I don't think there is a problem.

Ok, I e-mailed skins.be in regards to their images being used on wikipedia

24 main cast

Hey. The reason I'd like to keep only characters for the current season on that list is because if we listed the main characters from every season the list would be ridiculously long. I just think it's a bad idea and we can save a detailed list for the main character page. If you disagree I'd be happy to discuss it on the talk page. The reason I haven't brought this up on the talk page before is because when someone added a dead or non-main character it was an anon edit and never happened more than once.

Defensive Secondary

I admit the Defensive Secondary article needs to be spruced up (perhaps with formation on formations of the defensive secondary, great defensive secondaries in NFL history, etc.) ... but I feel it should be a separate article from 'Defensive Back'.

A Defensive Secondary is a 'thing' , and a defensive back is a 'person', so I think they should go in separate categories.
