[edit] Baby T.O.

Luke 4545: Saying that people refer to him as Baby T.O. because he and T.O, have similar skills is itself an opinion --- one that sounds like a fan. Owens is a superstar. People would read that opening and think T.O. and Marshall are similar. They're not. It's misleading, Luke, and I think you know that. --Lindsay (talk) 13:05, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

There are always comparisons among players in any sport, past and present. Furthermore, there are many player articles on Wikipedia that compare the player the article is written about to another player. The cited source simply mentions that comparisons have been drawn between Marshall and Owens, not that Marshall is exactly like Owens. There's a difference. The opening was reworded a little bit to hopefully make this point evident. -- Luke4545 21:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC).

Well I disagree that it's appropriate but I'm not going to fight. It shouldn't be in the opening though. It's too misleading. Most people only read the opening. --Lindsay (talk) 01:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't see how it's misleading, as it's merely just making a couple of comparisons, not saying that Marshall is exactly like Owens. There are many player articles that do the same thing, and it hasn't really been a problem. Anyway, I guess we'll just leave this issue alone for now. -- Luke4545 03:38, 21 November 2007 (UTC).
