Knowledge (XXG)

PLEASE STOP CREATING DUPLICATE WIKILINKS "Redundant links clutter the page and make future maintenance harder"

Please stop creating duplicate links for FOX_on_NFL. Stop creating duplicate links for players that are already linked in the article. Thanks.

Please Read!!!

Please read the suggestions that others have given you on this page. Please diversify your game summaries. They all sound the same on all the different teams you edit for.

"Coming off their home win/loss.."
"Hoping to rebound.."
"... With the win/loss, the fell to.."
" rallied in the 4th quarter.."
" tried to rally.."

Stop using duplicate wikilinks within a same article; this means that you should always check and see if a player you are linking is already linked previously. For example Matt Cassel is linked multiple times in the 2009 Kansas City Chiefs article.

Also, please stop using terms like "nailed" for making field goals. It's not really fit for an encyclopedia. Also phrases like "the Redskins would get on board". "Get on board" is idiomatic, thus not fit for an encyclopedia. It's not as egregious, but it's like saying "Favre was not down with the Packers". Slang and other idiomatic phrases should not be used.

Do not remove cleanup messages when a section has not been cleaned up. Do not take cleanup messages personally. If something needs to be cleaned up and is marked so, either cleanup the section or at the very least leave a comment indicating why the message was removed.

Your contributions are appreciated, but please follow the general guidelines that all editors should adhere to. If not, I will be notifying an admin.

63.124.111.130 (talk) 20:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Again, please do not use terms like "went on the warpath" and "came out firing" as you did in the 2009 Washington Redskins article.

Again, please do not use duplicate links within the same article

Please respond to your page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.124.111.130 (talk) 19:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

63.124.111.130 (talk) 19:19, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Do not use words like "domination" as you did on the 2009 Buffalo Bills game summary for the Miami Dolphin game.

I added cleanup-templates to the above section. As a reminder, do not remove cleanup templates unless the section has been cleaned up, or you provide an explanation as to why a valid cleanup message is removed.

63.124.111.130 (talk) 19:36, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Alakazam, I have cleared your talk page of any clutter that may distract you from receiving this message. All of your former talk page conversations (or lack thereof) are now contained in four archives on the right side of this page. You may refer to them at any time. Since there has been a number of users involved in editing NFL articles who have had problems with your editing, citing violations of Knowledge (XXG) guidelines such as WP:MOS and WP:NPOV, I will try to go point-by-point so you will get, well, the point of what you need to do once this block is over to better follow these guidelines and to better interact with other users:

1. Sign all of your posts on your talk page and on any non-article pages. To do so, simply attach ~~~~ to the end of your post; this will let other users know who wrote the message on the talk page and when they wrote it.
2. Read your talk page. Your talk page is what you are reading now, and it will contain important messages from other users and from bots who will let you know when your attention is needed on a certain issue. When someone leaves a message on your talk page, you will notice a yellow box at the top of any Knowledge (XXG) page saying you have a new messages and providing you a link to this message. It is best that you follow this link and read the message.
3. Utilize your watchlist, so you can track when users are editing your talk page and make swift responses, as this is needed to be a functioning Knowledge (XXG) user.
4. Use edit summaries for all of your edits, whenever possible. This will let other users know - because there are other users who edit NFL-related pages and who have an interest in the material as well - what you are doing to the page and why you are doing it. If there is a dispute over your edits, then this can be communicated through edit summaries. If someone reverts your edits, then it is expected that the other user will have used an edit summary and thus you will be able to know why someone did in fact revert your edits.
5. Follow Knowledge (XXG)'s Manual of Style. I'm not asking you to read it cover-to-cover, but all Wikipedians, especially those who have been around as long as you, should have a good working knowledge of what kind of style elements should be followed. Some of these include not capitalizing every word of section headings (Season schedule, not Season Schedule) and using formal language at all times (always Dolphins and never 'Phins; always Redskins and never 'Skins). Other examples include not using duplicate wikilinks within a same article; this means that you should always check and see if a player you are linking (like Matt Cassel in a game summary) has already been linked to in 2008 New England Patriots season, for example. If he has, then WP:MOS says you should not link to that article again. This also goes for the game commentators, so if Dick Enberg has already been linked in 2008 New England Patriots season because he has already called a Patriots game before in the season, he should not be linked to again for the second, third, and so-on games.
6. Follow The Neutral Point-of-View policy. This is especially applicable when you write your summaries for NFL season pages. Using subjective and biased wording such as "trounced the opponent" or any related diction that is passionate towards one team or another is a violation of this policy. Keep the summaries grounded and neutral - if you want an example of this, see the summaries I wrote on 2008 New England Patriots season.
7. Follow The Civility policy. Do not make comments like this to other users just because they asked you to follow a guideline. There is a code of conduct that must be followed on Knowledge (XXG), and stubbornly rebuffing constructive criticism (or just ignoring it entirely) will not fly here. Further, keep WP:OWN in mind; you do not own the pages you are editing, so you must allow for other users' input on the matter - using the argument of "why don't you write it yourself then" will not work, because content inclusion is based on a consensus.

In 48 hours or earlier, you will be unblocked and allowed to edit again. I hope by then you are able to read and understand the points I made above, because if you do not, then there will continue to be further problems. You currently are a major part of making sure NFL pages stay updated, and I would really would not like to lose you as an editor here. Being an editor on Knowledge (XXG) entails more than just passively editing pages. Blocking you is a last resort, but it unfortunately has become the only way of communicating with you. Pats1 /C 04:19, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

You obviously didn't read bullet point #5 (or #4, since you didn't leave an edit summary), given your latest edits to 2008 New England Patriots season. Pats1 /C 00:54, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

It's not a truce, it's about you fixing your writing style.►Chris Nelson 18:15, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Your summaries could be alot better if you would not start each one with the same sentence ("Hoping to rebound..." or "Coming off the win over..."). See this summary here for a good example. Your summaries are a big help and I just want to help you make them better. ~Richmond96 t • c 00:55, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Ditto.►Chris Nelson 00:56, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I also agree. I think your writing has improved, but the above suggestions would further improve the wikipedia articles. Check out week 9 for the 2008 Redskins season here as well. You contributed to this section and it came out fairly well. Also notice both examples fully write out "touchdown" (instead of "TD") and player positions (they use "wide receiver" instead of "WR"). This helps readers who may be unfamiliar with American football understand the article.

Also, try not to end each game summary the same way ("With the loss/win, the Redskins fell/improved to X-X"). Just some extra suggestions. Thanks for considering my previous comments.

206.233.95.18 (talk) 15:30, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Once again, dont use "Indy" "Jags" "Pats" "Phins" "boys" or any nicknames in your summaries. They are not from a neutral point of view. ~Richmond96 t • c 22:15, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

This is pretty unbelievable.►Chris Nelson 22:39, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, please refrain from using position abbreviations like "TE" or "CB," as this could confuse non-American football followers. Pats1 /C 03:32, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

How much more of this until we just ban him from this are altogether?►Chris Nelson 03:54, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

He's getting better, and the transgressions are not that bad. Just gotta get him to read this, and he seems to get the point. Pats1 /C 04:26, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

His writing is still repetitive to a retarded extent.►Chris Nelson 04:42, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, please stop adding totals to the linescore summary as you did here. I've told you about this multiple times and you did stop for a while, which I appreciate. Also do not fill in 0s for the score until the game has been played. I don't know why you do things like this because its a waste of your time too. blackngold29 20:24, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Again, DO NOT add totals to the linescore summary as you did here. They should not be filled in until the game has been played, adding zeros gives the mis-leading appearence that the game was scoreless. blackngold29 02:42, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

PLEASE READ! Ditto with the above comments: try not to end each game summary the same way ("With the loss/win, the Redskins fell/improved to X-X"). Also stop saying kickers "nailed" field goals. This is in bad taste, sounds slightly biased, and is idiomatic. 63.124.111.130 (talk) 20:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall with you. Pats1 /C 03:20, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

No, it's more than just that. You kept re-linking CBS when I've told you at least thrice not to do that. And you seemed to have ignored everything I told you as it pertains to edit summaries and engaging in talk page discussions. That's all we're asking for. Pats1 /C 20:45, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I second the comment immediately above. The legidimate suggestions offered above seem to have been ignored. DO NOT start every single summary with "Hoping to rebound from the loss" or "So-and-so flew to ___" or bad grammar such as "got a field goal." Plus, please learn how to use the scorebox. It has a script in it that totals the score for you. Many of the summaries, as pointed out already, are not neutral POV, are campy, and do not hold up to the formal style they should be. In addition, it's one thing to be a heavy contributor, but with 32 teams in the league, you alone do not need to be the editor for all 32 team season pages. There are plenty of other very good editors who dedicate a lot of time to these individual season pages. I suggest you select a handful to concetrate on, and do them well, instead of doing 32 of them poorly. Doctorindy (talk) 00:44, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Now this is really minor, but do you mind using edit summaries so other editors can see what you've done to the page. Thanks!--Iamawesome800 01:56, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Can you please start using edit summaries if you don't know how to go to Help:Edit Summary.--Iamawesome800 03:39, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Knowledge (XXG) pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --Iamawesome800 00:48, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Newsletter news As you may have noticed, there is a slightly modified look to the newsletter. I felt this would be helpful for those issues with alot of news headlines, etc. So I thought I'd tell you alittle bit about it. The top section is the "Table of Contents," as the name states. The ONLY time anything else is to be included is when there is a BIG headline, such as the League's possible return in 2010, as above. Those headlines get their own special subsection in the Current events section. That is how things will be organized, also in the order they happen. Hope you enjoy it.

Transactions Source(s): ArenaFootball.com Transactions, ArenaFan.com Transactions, af2 Transactions - Transactions News Beginning with this issue, there will be NO transactions listed for the af2, as the list becomes too long, time consuming, cluttered and well, I just can't take doing it anymore. However, year, should the AFL in fact return, a transactions section will be up for them. I will still provide the section and links in every issue, just not a complete long list as before. Only notable players transactions will be included. Notable af2 transactions QB Brent Schaeffer was assigned to the Central Valley Coyotes.

Current events Source(s): ArenaFan.com, ArenaFootball.com, af2.com Judge Pun-tastic In a humorous twist, U.S. District Judge Michael M. Baylson included four Bon Jovi song references and three football terms into the opening paragraphs of his 29-page opinion on AFL Philadelphia v. Krause, the lawsuit filed by former Sales manager Joseph Krause Jr. Firecats tuck tail and run? The Florida Firecats, whos lease with Germain Arena expires at the end of this season, may relocate. According to Firecats Chairman and principal owner Andrew Vallozzi, the team has received offers for a place to play in 2010 from several "major markets" . No more monopoly? On June 9, a Northern California judge allowed a class-action lawsuit against video game giant EA Sports to contiue. The suit claims that EA Sports "has and continues to engage in 'blatantly anticompetitive conduct' since 2004". And as the judge said in his ruling, "'As the court understands these allegations, interactive football software will not sell if it does not use the names, logos and other markers of teams that actually compete in the NFL. There is, in effect, no market for interactive football software in a virtual or fictitious setting. If true--as the court must at this point accept--this adequately alleges that there are no substitutes for interactive football software without the markers of actual teams and players.'" AFL players selected by UFL On June 19, the United Football League held its inaugural draft and three AFL players were selected. Those players being; Steve Sanders by UFL New York, and Larry Brackins and Brett Dietz by UFL San Francisco. ArenaBlackjack? No, it's not an new indoor sports version of the popular card game, sorry. However, on June 24, it was announced that the 2009 ArenaCup X would be held in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Orleans Arena, the former home of the Las Vegas (now Cleveland Gladiators). It's the fourth time in the last five seasons that the af2 has held a neutral-site ArenaCup. Break in the Fever? On June 25, Doug MacGregor, who has owned the team since 2007 and challenged by a shrinking fan base and revenue, stated he's considering folding the Tri-Cities Fever if he cannot find some local investors by the end of the summer. The Fever are the only team in af2 with a sole owner, though he has stakes in five other af2 teams, Corpus Christi Sharks, Tennessee Valley Vipers, Amarillo Dusters, Peoria Pirates and the Boise Burn, each of which also has a local owner or ownership group.

Your game summaries are boring and repetitive. Other users agree (see Talk:2008_Detroit_Lions_season). Please read Knowledge (XXG):Manual of Style before you write more of them. TomCat4680 (talk) 19:33, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey! I only tell what happened during the game. It's not every NFL game decides who's going to set a record or something! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alakazam (talk • contribs) date

I wasn't trying to insult you, I was trying to help. Be more creative, don't start and end every summary with the same sentences. Don't say "he got a touchdown" say "he caught a ## yard touchdown pass" or "he ran in a touchdown from ## yards out". Doesn't it sound more interesting that way? I strongly advise you read the manual of style I linked to above. I also think a thesaurus would be a wise investment for you. TomCat4680 (talk) 20:49, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

If it makes U happy, then OK! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alakazam (talk • contribs) date

--Alakazam (It's been a long while since I last did a signature.)

I was just going to give you the "remember to sign your name" template but I guess you know how already. Happy editing. TomCat4680 (talk) 21:26, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

You don't need to begin every summary with "coming off a win" or "coming off a loss". Also, you don't need to end them with "with the loss they fell to..." or "with the win they...". don't be so repetitive, use your imagination. TomCat4680 (talk) 07:08, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

That's funny. I've been saying "With the win..." or "With the loss..." and all of those other things for years and no one has EVER told me to stop that. How many times must people critisize my work? Why can't people just know what happened? --Alakazam

Actually they have. If you had read Talk:2008 Detroit Lions season like I asked, it clearly says your summaries are extremely repetitive. These are direct quotes from others (not me) about summaries you wrote:

"Seems to be a lot of repetitions of the ilk of With yet another loss, Detroit fell to 0-#" at the end of a game report. It's clear from the start of the article that they didn't manage to win a game, so is this really useful?"

"Along with what the other person stated on this subject, once the summaries hit week 7, they just start using the a very similar starting sentence. It goes: Still searching for their first win Still trying to acquire their first win of the year Still trying to get their first win of the season Still trying to get their first win of the season Still looking for their first win of the season Still trying to get their first win of the season Still looking for their first win of the season Still trying to acquire their first win of the season Still looking for their first win Still trying to get their first win of the season. I mean, I think by reading the article that you understand that they never got that first win. Whoever wrote this was clearly lazy."

I have kept a lot of your edits but the intro and endings are what I have a problem with. After I'm done writing them feel free to add tidbits just don't change the beginning and endings. Deal? TomCat4680 (talk) 18:53, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Deal. Intros and Conclusions R all yours! --Alakazam

Please keep the conversations on your page for better flow, and use the {{Talkback}} template to let me know you responded here. Its easier than switching back and forth between pages. The instructions on how to use it are on the top of my talk page. TomCat4680 (talk) 20:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Seriously, if you can't write good summaries, don't write any at all.►Chris Nelson 19:28, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Did you ever stop to think there's a reason you constantly get crap for your summaries? It's because they aren't good. They are poorly written, use biased language and are ridiculously repetitive and formulaic. Not trying to be mean, but seriously - if you can't write a good summary, leave it to someone else.►Chris Nelson 19:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Al, per manual of style, words that are NOT proper nouns like "domed stadium" DON'T get capitalized. TomCat4680 (talk) 16:45, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Just a quick comment on this topic; Alakazam, you really need to stop using "would" so often. Instead of saying, "Minnesota would take the lead in the second quarter", just say "Minnesota took the lead in the second quarter". The word "would" is a conditional term, and using it makes it sound like the summaries you write are actually predictions. I've already fixed your summaries at 2009 Minnesota Vikings season, but it would be helpful if you could fix the rest yourself. – PeeJay 23:12, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Please be advised that per consensus manual of style of trademarks, that it is written here as Fox, NOT FOX. TomCat4680 (talk) 03:31, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello, what part of that did you not understand? STOP writing it FOX. We write it Fox here. TomCat4680 (talk) 07:13, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey Alakazam, I reverted your recent edit to Steve Young, because we are currently trying to switchover all NFLretired infoboxes to NFLactive, as it can now support retired players. If you have any other questions relating to this process, please let me know. Thanks, Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:43, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Others and myself have asked you this before, but I'll reiterate it again. When adding game summaries, please don't add the RT and HT tags to Template:Linescore Amfootball, as you've been doing on 2009 New York Jets season. The template does not need those tags to display the totals for each team. --Highway99 (talk) 05:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I appreciate your attempts to clean up my game summary here, but I'm going to change back some of the things.

• First of all, you don't need to say coming off a win or loss...All the person has to do is scroll a little up the page to see.
• "Three game home stand"? what? Three straight home games sounds much better.
• The consolidation of the summary is good, but I'm putting back the halfback option play in the summary. It's not every day you see that, especially from Indianapolis, so it is fairly notable.
• I'm removing the word "would" from the article...not a good format. Not it "would" happen, it already happened.
• Indianapolis did NOT take the lead with Stover's field goal. That score made it 14-12, San Francisco. The Arbiter_★ 15:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Because of word that the new league formerly called "Arena Football 1" has decided to take on the new Arena Football League moniker, I thought it would be a good time to revive this project. The team I adopt for this project is the Milwaukee Iron (my home team), and I am leaving this message on your talk page to (hopefully) get you back interested (even though the Philadelphia Soul is done for now, the press release lists Philly as one of the places the AFL hopes to expand to for 2011). So rejoice, for ARENA FOOTBALL IS BACK! Tom Danson (talk) 15:21, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Because of the news that Arena Football 1 has decided rename as Arena Football League, af1 was moved to Arena Football League (2010) page and arena football league page to Arena Football League (1987-2008). They have been nominated to merge together. Since you are a project member, your input on the matter would be appreciated. please disscuss at this page Gman124 20:33, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Knowledge (XXG):Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 02:32, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

There's something I don't understand about these articles. It's OK for articles on College Football Rivalries to have the logos of the respective teams, but it's a crime when we try doing so for NFL Rivalry articles? There's something wrong here, man! If someone is able to give me a reasonable explanation, then MAYBE I'll understand.

I was only giving repective Rotten Tomatoes links for various movies. Since they didn't have a link to their own review, i only copy and pasted said "King Arthur" link, then tweaked it on the different articles so that they would have those links. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding and will prompt me to go "Sandbox" for when stuff like this comes up again. Thanks!

Alakazam (talk) 17:35, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure, though, that you understand that, in the case of King Arthur, you linked to the wrong movie at Rotten Tomatoes. Did you get that? – Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  13:59, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

I understand. It must have been one of those things where as I copying and pasting, I must have forgotten to change the ID for the proper movie. Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways. May we be like the band Chicago and get "stronger everyday".

Alakazam (talk) 15:01, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger!" <grin> So sorry for the vandalism thing. It would also greatly help in the future if you would remember to leave a brief edit summary when you make alterations to a page, which you forgot to do in the King Arthur article. This helps other editors when they bring up the article's history, and it makes it less likely that your good edits will be mistaken for vandalism. Also, please get in the habit of responding on your Talk page rather than on my Talk page. I watch the Talk pages where I leave notices, and the jumping around can be very confusing. Best to you! – Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  15:25, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

I have removed File:NFCS-Uniform-NO.PNG which you added to 2011 New Orleans Saints season with this edit, because it does not have a valid non-free media use rationale for the article.

Thanks for all of the work you do, particularly with NFL-related articles. I just want to nitpick and ask that before you save your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Disavian (talk) 22:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Knowledge (XXG) appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Battle of Ohio (NFL), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chad Johnson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please do not add the US release dates to the Bond films. It's not appropriate to have them in there. - SchroCat (talk) 17:33, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Because Skyfall is a UK & US production, so it's correct that it is there. Most of the other films are UK only, so they only show the UK dates. - SchroCat (talk) 17:36, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
