[edit] Timothy Alan Mazzetti

Are you trying to delete it? If so, as author, put {{db-author}} at the top of the page. Flyguy649 19:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Luther Elliss

Hi, I'm going to temporarily delete Luther Elliss for just a moment and then bring it right back in order to fix a cut and paste move that was done there (Moves should be done with the "move" button at the top of the page to preserve the page history). If you could hold off editing it until I'm done, I'd appreciate it. I'll let you know when I'm done, it shouldn't take long. Peace, delldot talk 23:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

All done, thank you! delldot talk 23:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bob Skoronski

Was he born in 1934 or 1944? (stub uses both dates). Cheers1 --Stormbay 21:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New sports biographical articles

I noticed you have created many biographical stubs on football athletes. I was just letting you know that it would be appreciated if you could tag, on the article's talk page, with a couple WikiProject banners. Some that would be applicable include:

{{NFLproject}}
{{WPBiography|sports-work-group=yes}}
{{WikiProject College football}}

I tagged a couple of your new articles so you can view those and see what I did. I edited Talk:Ken Mendenhall and Talk:Tom Brahaney. These tags assign the article to the appropriate WikiProject and lets like minded editors know they exist so they can improve them. Let me know if you have any questions.↔NMajdan•talk 19:41, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I also noticed you just added wikilinks to many individuals in the All American box on the Oklahoma Sooners football article. Just so you know, per Wikipedia's Manual of Style, you only need to add a wikilink to the first occurrence of something in an article. For instance, you added a wikilink to Billy Sims in the All American box but there is already a wikilink to him earlier in the article, so that particular wikilink should be removed. Same thing for several others you added.↔NMajdan•talk 19:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NFL - Laakso

Thank you for starting the Eric Laakso Stub I had about given up on someone starting it and actually started myself, imagine my supprise as I was confirming links you had begun, I've mereged my tidbits with yours and also tagged the Discussion page. Thanks again User:slysplace Gnomes at work 01:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categorization

Hi, you keep putting Craig James into Category:United States Football League players. He's already in Category:Washington Federals players and according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, articles should not usually be in both a category and its subcategory, so please refrain from placing him back in the top-level category. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 19:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please Vote

can you please vote for adding colors to retired players infoboxes or not. seeTemplate talk:Infobox NFL player#Retired players.

[edit] Great Job!

I was the one that started adding the starting lineups to the Super Bowls, but I didn't have the patience to follow it through (I got like 1/3 or 1/4 of the way through). I see you've seen it through. Nice! I wikified Super Bowl III (which I originally added before I knew much about how to fill out tables) and will try to fix a couple more. Again great work!
