I do not have a close relation with this article other then researching it to the fullist extent for my website. The listing of this park as Pendleton Park on Wikipedia has been incorrect..The name of the park was called East End Park when major league baseball was being played in it.

Someone else created the Pendleton Park article but I wrote and added most of the stuff that had been posted on it. I finally got tired of the incorrect name of the park being listed and decided to create a new article about the park with the correct name. In doing so I decided to transfer all of the text that I wrote on the Pendleton Park article to my new article called East End Park (Cincinnati).

The Pendleton Park listing really should be redirected to East End Par (Cincinnati).scsrdotorg 24:23, 17 April 2009

Indianapolis Colts

[edit]

Where do you get the 17 number from for Green Bay Packers' championships? They've won 13 NFL Championships, as well as 13 world championships since they won both AFL-NFL Super Bowls that they played in. The reason why the 1966 Chiefs, 1967 Raiders, 1968 Colts, and 1969 Vikings are NOT considered to be "champions" is because they lost the Super Bowl. Their championships aren't the equivalent of a "world championship" and are thus inferior to all other league championships. That's why there's a footnote there. If you lose your last postseason game, you're not a champion. Incidentally, there are two recognized world champions for the years of 1960-1965, as the NFL and AFL Champions never faced each other in a Super Bowl. So yes, the Colts are 4-time champions, not 5.50.136.139.204 (talk) 15:54, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it would be better if the term used was "world championship" instead of "league championship," but that would open up another can of worms, since "world championship" is a subjective term that is offensive to people who live in countries other than America.50.136.139.204 (talk) 15:56, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it is a real sticky thing to deal with but it can be done. Super Bowls 1-4 were called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. The same people that would get upset over the term "world" can get over it....lol. The game was called AFL-NFL World Championship game. That was the name.
The Packers have won 15 NFL titles, 2 World Championship titles*, The Jets have won 0 NFL titles, 1 AFL title and 1 World Championship title* and the Cheifs have won 0 NFL titles, 3 AFL title and 1 World Championship title*................"* The AFL-NFL World Championship game was retroactively renamed Super Bowl after the junior league merged into the senior league."
For the teams that lost, you could put an asterisk next to the year like for the Colts, NFL titles 1958, 1959, 1968*. * Lost in the AFL-NFL World Championship Game (Super Bowl III)......Or something like that. There should be a seperate listing on Wiki for the AFL-NFL World Championship game was well....Buuuuuuut one debate at a time.

The Packers have won 13 NFL Championships, not 15. I'm not sure where you get the 15 number from. They are also considered 13-time "world" champions. All of their 9 pre-Super Bowl era NFL Championships are considered "world championships" too plus their 4 Super Bowl Titles. 11 of their 13 NFL Championships are "world championships," (Their 1996 and 2010 Super Bowl Championships are also NFL Championships FYI, but their 1966 and 1967 NFL Championships are not considered to be "world championships.") plus their Super Bowl I and II victories give them 13 world championships. In other words, every league championship is a world championship except for 1966-1969. In those years, you had to win the Super Bowl to be a world champion.50.136.139.204 (talk) 23:36, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Packers 1996 and 2010 Super Bowl titles are NFL championships. So 13 plus their last two SB titles makes 15. It's really not that complicated. SB 5 to current are NFL titles. The first 4 Super Bowls were a World Championship game between the NFL & AFL. All of the premerger stuff makes it complicated when it shouldn't. The New York football Giants have won 12 NFL titles, four were during the Super Bowl era. Had the Packers lost the AFL-NFL Championship Game, they still would have won 15 NFL titles since they were NFL champs in 1966 & 67. SCSRdotorg (talk) 01:38, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. They've won 13 NFL titles, not 15. I can list every year. 1929, 1930, 1931, 1936, 1939, 1944, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1996, 2010. That's 13 NFL titles, not 15. You're counting 1966 and 1967 twice because they won BOTH the NFL Championship and Super Bowl in those years. You're also wrong about the Giants. They've won 8 NFL Championships, not 12. You can look it up on Wikipedia if you don't believe me.50.136.139.204 (talk) 00:42, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For kicks and giggles I looked up how Pro-Football-Reference has their championships listed today and they have them listed similar to Wiki. I suppose it's pointless to continue to debate it but it would be nice to see one source list these championships properly. The whole "pre-merger" thing screws up the facts and diminishes championship clubs. The Colts are five-time NFL champions (1958, 1959, 1968, 1970 & 2006), who lost in the World Championship game (1968). The Chiefs are zero-time NFL champions, three-time AFL champions (1962, 1966 & 1969) and one-time World Champions (1969). Football historians should really rethink this. Wiki has the championships listed properly here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_American_football_championship_games and you will notice how Wiki has the first four Super Bowls listed ? Just my ten cents. SCSRdotorg (talk) 18:47, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually all NFL Titles and AFL Titles are considered "world championships," EXCEPT from 1966-1969 because the two league champions played each other in the Super Bowl to determine the world champions. World championship (listed as "league championship" on Wikipedia) = AFL or NFL Championship 1920-1965 or Super Bowl Championship from 1966 to the present. So the Colts are 4-time world champions, the Chiefs are 2-time world champions. Wikipedia is correct, but it is confusing. You just have to remember that NFL and AFL Championships from 1966-1969 don't count. If you can remember that, it becomes easy.50.136.139.204 (talk) 00:55, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Don't count ? They did at the time and still do but get ignored. Leagues are leagues. The NFL was not a conference and the AFL was not either. The Colts were NFL champions in 1968 not conference champions which makes them currently at five NFL titles. The Jets and Chiefs have never won an NFL title. SCSRdotorg (talk) 04:35, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They don't count as "world championships" because the team that won the Super Bowl was the world champion in each of those years. Yes, the Colts have won five NFL Titles but only four world titles. The Jets and Chiefs have never won an NFL title; that's true.50.136.139.204 (talk) 04:52, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay ? I guess. Just to give you heads up, all of my college professors warn students about how inaccurate Wiki is and to not use it. I try to defend it but tough with that logic....Just sayin' SCSRdotorg (talk) 04:57, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't trust Wikipedia if I was writing a science paper, but I would trust them on basic sports stuff. If someone makes a mistake on Wikipedia, other people will be there to correct the mistake. I mean, we're both on Wikipedia right now, so we must both trust it to a certain extent.50.136.139.204 (talk) 05:47, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is true which is why I like to add my two cents to help the website get better.......anyway. SCSRdotorg (talk) 01:33, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have repaired your cut-and-paste page move

[edit]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Cincinnati Reds (1876–80) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
