Big Ten QBs

Nice work on new Big Ten quarterback articles that you started. Check out Wikipedia:WikiProject College football. Jweiss11 (talk) 20:27, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Need help

Hey, I was changing the primary/secondary colors for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but you look here something went wrong. Can you check and see what happened because I'm not good with this stuff. – Michael (talk) 01:19, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

I've fixed the problem you were having.DMC511 13:56, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

LA Kiss roster

Their website have them listed under "Injured Reserve" at the bottom of that page. Freefalling660 (talk) 20:41, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

First of all, who is they? Second, the LA Kiss website is NOT updated regularly and I update it by looking directly at the league transactions page. DMC511 20:59, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
Where is the league's page? Freefalling660 (talk) 21:04, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Arenafan doesn't have games started lol, I was just wondering WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:32, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
Arenafan does not, but they do have game logs from 2000 to the present. I used those to help me determine who started, and when. Here's an example. http://www.arenafan.com/players/?page=players&player=11795&pageview=gamelogs DMC511 13:44, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

What's left of the CIFL

The Erie Explosion, as you probably well know, just left the CIFL. That leaves five teams on the official “list” of teams that haven't left yet. Of the five, four of them were the ones that stopped playing midseason this year. The other is the Dayton Sharks, and from what I've looked at, the only activity I have seen from them is on their Twitter, which appears to be outsourced to some social media company and is spewing content totally unrelated to the team—which leads me to suspect (even though there isn't a verifiable source for this) that that team no longer exists, either. Now, I know that you do a lot of editing on the CIFL pages and I want to ask you before I do this: Do you think it's OK now to go ahead and start referring to the league in the past tense? J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 21:33, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Dean Cokinos

Sure, I already thought about starting this and added it to requested articles sports a while ago. Appreciate the offer. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 14:19, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Outlaws

This is confusing. At least the other team was called the Portland Storm too. I could still see people linking Las Vegas Outlaws to the wrong team. Also, the player category for the new team will probably be called Las Vegas Outlaws (Arena) players or something. Dallas Texans is a disambiguation page with Dallas Texans (NFL) and Dallas Texans (Arena) also the categories are named like Category:Dallas Texans (Arena) players. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:36, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Idk, you can change it if you want. The Texans thing is probably like that because of the Chiefs being called the Texans and that would be confusing if Dallas Texans redirected to the Chiefs page. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:40, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Quentin McCord

Sorry for being annoying but lol. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:43, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Chris Smith (defensive back)

Thx for fixing that, you also could have just changed it back to my last edit on the page. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:10, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Yea, I thought I had it all covered, then I just kept missing things. I ended up just changing it back to your edit on the last time because I got tired of messing with it. Good to hear from you. You've been missed. DMC511 19:15, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Las Vegas Outlaws (arena football)

The Outlaws were taken over by the Arena Football League because the owners could not keep up with paying their bills. Vince Neil is no longer the owner. NostalgiaBuff97501 (talk) 17:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm not saying that this might not have happened, but you need to cite that from a reliable source. I can't find that information anywhere. DMC511 17:35, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Found some proof. ArenaFan.com has the news. They took over both the Outlaws AND the New Orleans VooDoo. Hope this helps: AFL assumes control of Outlaws, VooDoo, announcement expected this week, Adam Markowitz, ArenaFan.com, July 12, 2015 NostalgiaBuff97501 (talk) 18:07, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Brett Nottingham

Hey man, I see that you edited Nottingham's page, noting that he rejoined Columbia, but I haven't found any news about it. He's not listed on Columbia's official football roster.--Edday1051 (talk) 10:56, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

At the time of the edit. Nottingham had rejoined the team. Here's an article from last month saying he was in the team. http://www.timescall.com/ci_28642454/alumni-corner-hill-may-start-under-center-columbia He must have left again. DMC511 13:22, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Sorry but this funny. Earlier I messaged you about Quentin McCord, who still had Kentucky Horsemen (2009) as his present team. This is worse lol. Antwaun Carter, Marvin Townes. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:43, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for making that navbox. Thought you made the Louisiana–Monroe one too but his name wasn't linked yet. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 14:55, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Chicago Blitz (indoor football)

Just giving you a ping since you seem interested in this stuff as well. There is a discussion at User talk:2601:245:4080:59A0:B104:DEE0:C581:5681 you may want to give input on. Yosemiter (talk) 01:58, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

And the IP user is still making their case now on my talk page. I don't really care since they are so low-level, but take a look at their argument if you wish. Yosemiter (talk) 18:51, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Invitation to join WikiProject National Football League

Hi, DMC511. You are cordially invited to join WikiProject National Football League, a project dedicated to improving articles in relation to the National Football League.
Please visit the project's talk page to see what areas/topics need help and to discuss any questions you may have. Thank you! WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:30, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the invite. I don't know that I'd be the best of this. I just kinda go with what I have been paying attention to at the moment. DMC511 19:28, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

CAFL

Someone needs to add the team colors to the player infoboxes. I can't find the official colors though. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 17:13, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

I've eye-ball the colors using Wikipedia's color templates. I'll add them to the NFL Colors. 17:46, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
I believe it is 100% the same rules as evidence in this video DMC511 19:26, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Yh, according to the source, they gave them the rights to start an arena football league too. Also, the CAFL briefly changed their name to the China American Football League, so they wouldn't have needed the rights from the AFL if they were just getting them for the name.

Big Ten positional awards

Hi. I noticed you're adding Big Ten positional awards such as "linebacker of the year" and "running back of the year", etc to infoboxes. These are generally left out of infoboxes because they're deemed minor. We've been trying to cut back on what we include in the infoboxes, because they tend to become cluttered as more and more stuff is added. Thanks, Lizard (talk) 22:47, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Baltimore Brigade

Someone needs to add the Brigade's colors. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 02:46, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

I tried to add them the day they were announced. Apparently I didn't submit my request correctly. DMC511 03:10, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
what color do you want set for the border? Their pictures seem to indicate that a 3rd color is not very present in the uniform, however their logo shows the light blue as a very prevalent color. DMC511 (talk) 03:34, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
I'm not sure. Their colors seem similar to the Portland Steel's. The Steel has silver as the border, which is also listed on the Baltimore Brigade page. We could make the border silver but you can put whatever you want. You update the colors more than me. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 03:43, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
Done. :) DMC511 (talk) 03:58, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. That seems like the right color. Blue on blue might seem kind of funny and a white border would too. So silver is all that's left. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 04:05, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Brohm

Nice work on the article. It seems comprehensive. You can check over the changes I made. Here are some notes:

  • The article says "The Cardinals offense struggled under the coaching change" but then it says Brohm broke records. Just making sure this is correct.
  • The prose of the pro football career section doesn't say when he played for the teams. Maybe you could add when he signed and was released by each team.
  • In the Louisville section, do you think it might be a good idea to add some more info on Jeff himself. This might be hard to find for an assistant coach though.
  • Also in some places, the article says things like "LeFors and Brohm did not disappoint". Some people might interpret those phrases as WP:PEACOCK words. The source listed doesn't actually say they didn't disappoint. I'm not picky about this and I won't remove it but if you were gonna nominate the article to be a WP:Good article, a reviewer would probably bring it up.
  • Maybe you could expand his 2014 and 2015 seasons at Western Kentucky.

Thanks. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 04:39, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you so much! DMC511 (talk) 13:27, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Transaction source

I was getting the transactions from the Arenafan message board. That's probably not a good answer but they've all been right so far. Idk where he's getting them from. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 18:41, 31 January 2017 (UTC)


Colors

I noticed some indoor teams without colors like at Jonathan Bane and Kasey Peters. You should request WP:Template editor rights so you can add the colors yourself without having to make an edit request each time. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 20:28, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

I've turned in a request. DMC511 (talk) 04:54, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for updating them. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 16:57, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

IFL standings: Key for elimination

I seem to notice with the current standings of the Indoor Football League, Green Bay and Cedar Rapids appear to be eliminated from IFL playoff contention, but I also don't see a key for eliminated teams. On the Champions Indoor Football standings for this year, I'm using a placeholder e to represent teams that are eliminated from CIF playoff contention. Could we possibly use that letter to indicate eliminated teams here as well? Jd02022092 (talk) 15:45, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

I was modeling mine off of the NFL Standings, which doesn't use the eliminated note. I don't feel it's necessary.DMC511 (talk) 23:01, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Jordan Howard

Why did you remove UAB from the infobox for Jordan Howard? He played there before the program shut down and he transferred to Indiana. I reverted your deletion. Realkyhick (talk) 03:59, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Per Template:Infobox NFL biography it is common practice that just the last school attended be listed in the infobox. DMC511 (talk) 09:04, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Carolina Cobras

Do you know how the Carolina Cobras supposedly finished in fourth place in their division in 2000. I was editing the record table on Doug Kay and wasn't sure if they finished in 4th or 5th. These pages say 4th [1][2] but I'm not sure because the Cobras had a worse division record than the Bobcats and lost both of the games that they played against the Bobcats. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 02:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

It appears they did not according to the AFL website. Nice catch WikiOriginal-9! DMC511 (talk) 02:45, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Nice job finding the source. Those standings only have 13 out of the 14 games. Do you think anything would have changed in the final week to make the Cobras be in 4th place. If not, we need to update the 2000 Arena Football League season page. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 02:49, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
WikiOriginal-9 I don't see how that could have happened with both teams losing. I think we are safe to update the standings.DMC511 (talk) 02:53, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
And they both lost to teams in the same division as them, so there isn't really anything that could have changed the standings from the previous week. I'll update the page. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 02:58, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Question

This has J. J. Raterink's number as 9 but Boyd has that number too. Mistake? WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 22:20, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

WikiOriginal-9 this has Boyd as 8, so I suppose Raterink is 9. That is my best guess. DMC511 (talk) 22:23, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Boyd has almost always worn number 8, and at the time of his trade from Cleveland, K. C. Obi was number 8. I'm sure he jumped at the opportunity to get 8 when it became available.DMC511 (talk) 22:27, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Inactive reserve

Are we including inactive reserve players in the ArenaBowl champ templates. For example, should Torez Jones be listed at Template:ArenaBowl XXX since he was on inactive reserve. Also, what is your opinion on "Refused to report", "League suspension" and "Other league exempt". WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 03:35, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

I've went ahead and removed any "Refused to report", "League suspension" and "Other league exempt" players and kept inactive reserve players in the AB templates. The other three aren't really a part of the team while inactive players still are and get paid for it [3][4]. Feel free to tell me what you think. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 20:33, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi - a quick note to check with you about a recent revert, on the above noted page. Template:Infobox NFL biography notes for the field in question, "if important to understanding a player's college career history, an additional college team may be included." Given Jones' very atypical playing timeline while in college, listing both of his college teams (and years that he played) in the infobox, seems helpful. Thoughts? Thanks.

Archiving your talk page

Information icon Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of archiving. According to Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines; "Large talk pages become difficult to read, strain the limits of older browsers, and load slowly over slow internet connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." - this talk page is 44.4 KB. See Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a bot. If you have any questions, place a {{help me}} notice on your talk page, or go to the help desk. Thank you. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:39, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
