[edit] About Fort Wayne Freedom
Please stop replacing my tables (which are much neater and I worked so hard on) with a table more suited for the NFL. Also, unless you list a reason for your edits, it can be considered vandalism. Tom Danson 19:48, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I'm sorry about that Fort Wayne Freedom controversy
I'm sorry I kept replacing your tables. Since it's all but official that the Freedom are moving to af2, could I put in the standard af2 template once it's official? Thank you. Tom Danson 19:05, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 Indianapolis Colts season
Thank you for your expansion of the summary of the Horseshoe's win last night over the Patsies (I've been a Colts fan since the Jeff George days). However, please keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a sports fan and commentary site. Thus, articles should be written in a dry, formal, and scholarly tone, and must be written from a neutral point of view. Specifically, phrases like "Fortunately for the Colts", "highly anticipated", and "the Colts did an incredible job" are wholly inappropriate. I'm going to fix it this afternoon; it's no big deal, but just keep that in mind for the future :) Kurt Weber 18:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Paul Tracy
Ouf! I'm haven't heard or seen anything about that passage : "but he has since stated that he has no plans to run in NASCAR in 2007". I knew his intentions for heading to Nascar's Busch Series but nothing about the opposite. All my edits on that article was regarding the French helmet controversy section. Maybe It's someone who've added non-sense or inaccurate details. Sorry about not being able to answer that.--JForget 04:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Dario Franchitti
Hello, I saw the article here 10/31/06 [1]. I forgot to add the link that day. As I read it, it says that he's "planning" to do so, but hadn't signed anything yet I haven't heard anything official. The full-time Champ Car ride looks like it's old news, and reading the source, it may have been nothing more than a rumor. Doctorindy 13:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Indianapolis Colts seasons
Nothing's been destroyed - go to the redirect page (click the line after "Redirected from..."), then click the history, and copy your superior grid. Then go to the Indianapolis Colts article and paste it in to replace the one they have. If you do this, Wikipedia gets the best of both worlds - your hard work would have paid off with a much better looking article (and had I done this last night, the history of the target page would not reflect your participation) - and now you can improve the Chicago Bears article the same way. My apologies for any ruffled feathers. B.Wind 21:31, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture of Anthony Edwards
Hi Manningmbd,
You uploaded a picture of Anthony Edwards to the English version of Wikipedia. I am creating an article about him on the Dutch Wikipedia, and would like to use that picture. Therefore it has to be uploaded to the Dutch wikipedia or, even better, to wikimedia commons. Of course I can do that, but because it's your picture i thought it might be descent to let you do it. So my question is if you would upload the picture to wikimedia commons? Kind regards Wouter 27 jan 2007 18:45 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.108.16.207 (talk) 17:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Josh Barfield.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Josh Barfield.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Charlie Johnson (offensive football player)
Your new title for this article is not very specific. See the Charles Johnson (disambiguation) page, and its Charles Johnson (football) offshoot. At least six notable football players have this name, and four of them are offensive players.
To be sure, the Wikipedia articles for the other three do not use the same nickname as this article, but that seems a very slender distinction to lean on.
How about Charlie Johnson (Oklahoma State football)? We can be sure that he will never play for another college.
Paul 18:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Charlie Johnson (offensive tackle) and Charlie Johnson (nose tackle) sounds like a good solution. Why don't you go ahead and do this. I didn't realize that naming a player's team was verboten; that being the case, I have some cleanup to do on at least one other Charles Johnson and on a couple of other articles ...
Thanks for your cooperation on this matter. Paul 05:40, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Colts' 2002 Roster
Hello, I just used Google and there was some 2002 PDF file from the Colts Media Guide. Though, it appears to me that it was the roster at the beginning of the training camps, but I couldn't find anything else about rosters. I wish there was some kind of source to find those, but haven't found them. Sorry, that I'm not really much help.
