[edit] article excerpt

I wanted to point out that his mom's name is Young Hee Kim, and that her first name is not Kim as some newspapers seem to imply. In Korean, the surname is given first. For example, Koreans call Chan Ho Park -- > Park Chan Ho.

Hines has the best attitude ever. You hardly ever see him in a bad mood, even off the field. He has always learned how to be an inspriation and role model for all people. Especially back home to "Pantherville". Great job to Hines and best wishes to him and his family..... Cory Musselwhite

[edit] Picture

I suggest we put a picture in this article. I suggest [[1]] this picture if someone can upload it. The article in which this picture is found is here: [[2]]

I found a free use one on flickr, it's in there now. You're welcome. Quadzilla99 17:42, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Korean Tatoo

"On his right arm is a tattoo of the Korean pronunciation (Korean: 하인스 워드) of his name. Hines also has a tattoo of Mickey Mouse carrying a football." Do we mean he has his name written in the Korean alphabet or the pronunciation indicated in the roman alphabet using one of the romanization methods?

Nevermind I found a picture. --Gbleem 00:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] so much thing about his life in korea

i think it just has too much info about it. I want people to reduce the Korean part and concentrate more on his stats and career. That changing korean thing almost take up whole article. Also, for external link, it isn't right to have almost every articles about changing Korean society. It just doesn't sound right. I mean..why did anyone put it anyway? I know Koreans are proud of him, but it's not only thing he did. Yes, he's doing right job, but in this article, people mention about his work just too much —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.188.16.35 (talk • contribs)

• I disagree. The problem is not that there is too much about his Korean heritage, but that there is not nearly enough about his football career. We should be adding, not subtracting. So long as you have sources (like newspaper articles, or ESPN.com stats) feel free to add as much as you want. --M@rēino 22:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Why should anyone care what you want? Who are you to decide that his football stats are more important than his contributions in Korea? VanishingUser 22:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] symbol in Korea

"Recently, he has become a symbol of the benefits of multiculturalism in South Korea." What does this mean? --Gbleem 16:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

• Fixed. --M@rēino 17:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Multiracial/multiethnic: Why? Doesn't multi mean more than two? According to the article his background is Korean and black [i.e., Africa-American]. so, shouldn't the prefix be bi? Kdammers 05:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citation for "The Locker Room"

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_412875.html

It is an article in a local newspaper that mentions that Hines Ward is one of three co-owners of the bar and grill known as "The Locker Room". Is it a usable source? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Royhandy (talk • contribs) 22:05, 4 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Mark Madden

Hi, I figured I should explain my revert of Endlessdan's edits on Hines Ward. I just don't see what this has to do with Hines. First off, how much a given sports celebrity charges for signatures is extremely trivial information that varies from day to day -- the average sports star will charge more or less depending on the trade show or how he's been playing recently, and will even sign for free if you catch him outside a show. The rest of the paragraph is a claim that, because Mark Madden mentioned this bit of trivia, something happened not to Hines Ward, but to Mark Madden, and that Mr. Madden is not happy about it. A sports star is going to have his name mentioned millions of times by hundreds of reporters and commentators before his career is over, and a good percentage of those will be insults. Wikipedia can't report on every single instance. Rutgers_Scarlet_Knights#Women.27s_basketball doesn't even mention Don Imus, for example. I think that's the correct precedent.--M@rēino 20:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I completely disagree. But I'm not gonna get into an editing war over it. If someone else feels my editing is justified, then they can revert the last edit and discuss their point here. --Endlessdan 00:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can anyone..

update Hines Ward stat. Honestly, Super Bowl XL was years ago and Hines is close to break many Steelers receiving record. Yet, Super Bowl XL MVP is last entry in this article. Last update looks like on his actions off-field. Not good. He still plays pretty good, yet noone updates Hines? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.177.188.192 (talk) 22:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

HINES WARD IS THE BEST NFL RECIEVER EVER!!!!! GO STEELERS!!!!! BEN YOU SUCK!!!!! GO HINES!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.212.132.70 (talk) 20:16, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
