Ralbot 05:36, 1 November 2007 (UTC) Why is stuff being revertedHi, this my first wikipedia account, before I just edited with my IP address, but since Brett Favre is protected, I started this new account. Anyway, my edits keep being reverted by a Snowfire51 so I came here to discuss it. I only updated a few things. First, I just moved around the stats a very little bit to have the bigger records like completions, attempts, TDs and INTs closer to eachother. Second, I updated the points scored by a QB to 2,622 to 2,628, he has 425 pass TDs and 13 rush TDs, that's 438 total TDs times 6 points a TD, that's 2,628. Third, I included the number of Lambeau Field TDs, it's 199, if you look at the number 4 link, it states he had 195 TDs at the end of the 2006 season, add the 4 he has at Lambeau this year, that's 199 total. Fourth, I added the yards at Lambeau Field, if you go to the number 67 link, it states that he had 25,765 yards at Lambeau Field at the end of the 2006 season, add the 1,085 yards he has this year at Lambeau and you have 26,850 total yards at Lambeau Field. The other 2 minor things are the First in wins and second in record for most wins regular and postseason combined, well it's just most wins, we arn't going by win percentage or overall record. That would apply to the regular season record as well, because Favre has more losses than Elway in the regular season also, but we are going by wins and then just showing what Favre's overall record is, we arn't going by win percentage or record. Last is the second longest pass in overtime history, that should be a statement in the NFL records section and not in the Favre is closing in on several NFL record section, because it's not something he is closing in on. It's something he has accomplished and should be regarded as a accomplishment, not a record he's closing in on. Anyway my changes are very minor and I've explained them all above, so I don't understand why I'm being reverted by Snowfire51. I don't know if it's because I'm a new account, but I use my IP address to edit other pages, this is the only one I edit that's protected, but I was told to explain my edits in the discussion area and then it would be fine, so I've explained everything above and thank you Gonzofan_2007 for welcoming me to wikipedia, this is my first account and I'm glad to be here and contribute. Packers1992 Other RecordsTwo more records that Favre is approching that could be added to the Favre also continues to close in on several NFL career records section is Most games 300 or more yards passing. Marino is First with 63 and Favre had his 52nd Monday night against Denver, that puts him second place all time ahead of Dan Fouts at 3rd with 51. The number 4 link states he had 48 at the end of the 2006 season, and he has 4 this year and the number 71 link states the stat with Marino at 63, Fouts at 51 and Warren Moon at 49, Favre now has 52. The other stat that could be added to the same section is most consecutive games played in NFL history, not starts which is already listed on the page, but just consecutive games played. First is Jeff Feagles at 312 and counting and second is Jim Marshall at 282, Third is Morten Andersen at 248, Favre will be 247 when he playes against Kansas City Tomorrow, so he stands at fourth at the time being. Because he played in the 2 games before his first start with Green Bay, that's why he will be at 247 consecutive games played, but 245 consecutive starts after tomorrow's game. This stat is listed at http://www.nfl.com/history/randf/records/indiv/service . Morten Andersen's 248 consecutive games played streak was broken in 2002, even though he's still a current player, only Jeff Feagles streak and Favre's Streak are current. It should be noted though that Jeff Feagles is a punter and even though he holds the record, it's mostly considered to be Jim Marshall's at 282, because Jeff Feagles isn't a position player and his chances of getting hurt as a punter is slim to none, and the only thing that prevents a punter from playing would be whether teams want him or not. Anyway, as long as a punter continues to be soughtafter for work, he'll never miss any games. So, I wanted to list those 2 stats that could be added to the Favre is closing in on section because I wanted to pass them by you guys here first and I would post them myself but I never done that before and I don't know how to do the cite web and all that. I've been editing at wikipedia for a while, but I don't know how to do stuff like that, I'm still new when it comes to that stuff. Hope this helps. Packers1992
Farve StatsThanks for keeping up to date on all of the Favre stats. I appreciate your help, everytime I think things quiet down they pick right back up again. Thanks! Snowfire51 03:28, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
First you tell this person your staying out of this, then you revert my edit after I take the time to verify and add too it. I will also tell you it's not vandalism, I spent a ong time verifying the additions and cits. Why don't you look at the 03:06 edit of the Favre page and confirm the info and add it yourself then. Because I'm moving on here, I'm not getting into the crazyness on this page and I have other pages to contribute to. I think you'll agree though that Favre accomplishments and reconds and milestones belong on his page, he's earned that. So if your a real cheesehead like you say in another post, then look at the additions and cits and refs that we're added in the 03:06 edit and add them yourself. Because I'm out of here, it's crazy on that page, I've edited a lot of pages and have never seen anything like it. So I'm moving on, I've got other pages to edit. Please do me a favor though and look over and confirm the things on the 169524973 03:06, 6 November 2007 edit of the Brett Favre page and add them yourself, I'm done here.

Another Sock, New TacticWe appear to have another sock at User talk:Teri Aulepp, and also at User_talk:71.129.234.151. Instead of changing the Brett Favre page, they're working at a new page, List_of_career_achievements_by_Brett_Favre. What do you guys think? Snowfire51 01:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
ReplyI didn't block your impersonator, I simply tagged him. Wizardman was the one who blocked him. (P.S. You can take away the barnstar if you want.) --EoL talk 02:38, 8 November 2007 (UTC) User:Ryan123456777768605940It appears we have both reported the same user to UAA, since this is the first time I have reported someone there, what do we do? Do we combine our reports or leave them as is? - NeutralHomer T:C 02:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Re: ThanksNo probs! --Chris G 08:09, 9 November 2007 (UTC) ThanksThanks for the revert of the vandalism on my user page!! :-) Hello, Zepp
RE:AFD of David Barnard - PianistI am sure you were careful. I was just giving a warning to anybody else who checks, as there are a few other Pianists with the same name, who like you said, aren't the same person per the article context. - Rjd0060 04:37, 10 November 2007 (UTC) Thanks!Thanks for my Barnstar...it's my first, so you popped my barnstar cherry! lol Ctjf83 05:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC) Another Sock, Seeking Admin Protection?Just wanted to give another heads-up on another possible sock of SW1955 at User_talk:Jake_R-12. He started by chiming in on another sock's comments, then sought out protection from an admin who was unfamiliar with SW1955's history. I've tried to explain, his sockpuppet tag has been removed for now but I'm still very wary. We've already knocked down two socks tonight, complete with slurs and threats.

I see that the weekend passed without further incidents. Lucky weekend? -- Gogo Dodo 21:08, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Not completely sure I'm doing this right.As for your comment, I'm not sure what you are talking about in terms of ip changing. I have a static cable IP address (69.117.247.12), the only thing that changed was I was not logged in for the first edit (I logged in right after). As for the article, I'm not sure how to go about citing a source since it isn't news related. But I know for a fact GHB has been mentioned and featured in Law and Order: Special Victims Unit on many occasions, and it is one of the most watched shows on TV, so it's easy to say that millions have been informed about GHB as a result of the show. If all these other shows which no one has heard of can be listed under trivia without any source, why can't Law and Order: SVU? How do I go about adding it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheJoak (talk • contribs) 00:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC) Re: Ksy9200Hello – thanks for the message. The main reason I did not block was in your message – blocks are preventative, not punitive. I investigate before I act at WP:UAA or WP:AIV – this editor has a grand total of 10 edits and hasn't made any contributions in more than 3 months, so there's nothing to prevent. Besides, Ksy92003 edits mainly baseball articles, while Ksy9200 seemed only interested in Brett Favre, his high school, the receiver who caught his first TD, and his foundation. If you disagree, you can ask for comments at WP:RFCN, but I don't block inactive users. Thanks again for the message. - KrakatoaKatie 21:58, 11 November 2007 (UTC) SmileSJP:Happy Verterans Day! has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better.

I'll keep this brief since I don't like spamming anyone: I'll work hard to deserve the trust you placed in me. Thanks again. — Coren (talk) 23:26, 17 November 2007 (UTC) Subway stationsHi Gonzo fan2007. Much as it may irk you that public facilities used by hundreds of thousands of people are included on Wikipedia, the "delete any / all subway stations" case has been fought and invariably lost on far too many occasions. It's just one you'll have to get over. Deiz talk 15:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Ralbot 09:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC) RE:Brett FavreFirst off, I'm sorry, I wasn't sure where to put this message. Please do move/delete it at will. About Brett Favre, I think the only reason I just stuck it in there was because that was how Dwayne Wade's was presented. But that isn't really a reason to do it; its a little strange because right now, Favre has not really won anything else for 2007, since the season isn't over yet. However, I still think its worth putting into the intro in a slightly jarring manner rather than taking out completely, just to match the pages of previous winners. Ideally, we'll be able to find a spot where it fits well. Jairuscobb (talk) 21:33, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Mangostar (talk) 03:21, 7 December 2007 (UTC) Stub sortingHi, I've noticed you've created a few stubs and tagged them with an uncategorised {{stub}} template. It'd be very useful if, where possible, you could use a more specific stub tag, such as {{amfoot-bio-stub}} - a full list can be found here. Thanks, Jeodesic (talk) 23:42, 7 December 2007 (UTC) ReplyI discovered that none of the other similar FLs highlight the active players, so I guess it's unnecessary. And I didn't support because I close most of the FLs and I try to avoid voting unless I oppose it. -- Scorpion0422 03:29, 8 December 2007 (UTC) {{PackersFirstPick}}There was one clearly wrong link Rich Moore - cartoonist; no "see also" on the page to a footballer.

ReplyI'm rather hesitant to close stuff in other featured areas because I don't know if it's someone else's "territory" and there may be a reason why they haven't closed it. But, I'll give it a try. -- Scorpion0422 23:42, 9 December 2007 (UTC) DYKIt was a great honor to promote this article to the DYK section on the main page. My finest hour in my short adminship. I thought about joining the Packer WikiProject, but my plate is already very full. I hope the list becomes featured. --Royalbroil 17:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Re:RequestYou might want to add a picture to the Green Bay Packers list. Could you also clarify Ref #31? What do you mean by "right to swap"? Also, do you have any draft notes for the early years? I know how difficult it is to find ANYTHING at all from this time period, so it's okay if you can't find anything. From a quick read-through, the Seattle Seahawks list looks good. I think both are ready for WP:FLC. Good work! :) Nishkid64 (talk) 04:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Re: QBsIIRC, I just checked who started the most games in each season. If it was someone different than the previous year, then I added that QB to the list. Pats1 T/C 12:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC) DYK--Carabinieri (talk) 15:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC)Signpost updated for December 10th, 2007.

I'm at work right now, so my edits are short and choppy as I can only edit for a minute here and there. According to WP:U, usernames should not be confusing, misleading, promotional, or offensive. I, personally found the username OhGodOhGod to fall under offensive. I would have just blocked the username myself, but I figured the offensiveness of this particular username was debatable. I had not ever heard of WP:RFCN, but I'll take the username there to see what the consensus is. Thanks again. Useight (talk) 00:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
List of Houston Texans (NFL) draft selectionsYou have a valid concern regarding List of Houston Texans (NFL) draft selections. The Texans are only 6 years so far, so I think we should wait at least 4 years before deciding to replace the entire list with the first-round draft picks only.
