[edit] Links to Arenafan

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks. —Twigboy 18:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

The links to ArenaFan were just as relevant to the pages as the official team sites due to the information on those pages. Obviously you didn't bother to look at those pages on ArenaFan before you removed the links. I will be putting them back on the team page listings for all AFL and af2 teams since they are extremely relevant. In addition, many of those URLs were not put in by me, but by other people who edited the pages, most of whom I do not even know. It should also be noted that I do add and edit the pages for content, mostly fixing errors submitted by people who know little about the subject matter, and my source for many of those modifications is ArenaFan. Finally, I can site hundreds of instances where similar links are provided all across wikipedia in a similar manner. Nolesrule 00:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

While I appreciate the desire to promote one's website, it's Wikipedia style to avoid adding links to your own site (see #3 here). I'm not disputing that there may have been others that added your links, but a reasonable sample showed that they were added by you. There are several other links to mainstream media sites [1][2][3], all of which do not belong here either. By linking to your site here, it increases your visibility on Google (ranks which are determined by the number of links to it). That is frowned upon here. All of that said, I have left some of your links in where there was a sufficient reason to leave them in, especially in historical contexts. (I have, indeed, bothered to look at the pages on Arenafan.) But don't be surprised to see someone else remove them. I also have noted that you do edit Wikipedia in a responsible way otherwise, which I do appreciate. Thanks for your contributions. —Twigboy 14:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Af2 Expansion

Thank you, but Long Beach Cal. and these small but lucrative markets were considered before. No problem, the team owners went for other indoor football leagues. The Inland Empire, Cal. region, Arizona and four countries (the UK, Japan, Mexico and Puerto Rico) pulled out of the AFL/af2 expansion options... they have arenas too small or unequipped (or the cost of remodeling them); and great travel distances, plus hour difference for overseas AFL/af2 teams. I'd sure the failed World League of football done this international representation in the 1990s, when they had teams in The UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. Today, the surviving European teams are called NFL Europe as a summer football league featured some notable NFL athletes on a "working vacation"...travel the country and work/play the game. + 63.3.14.130 also known as Mike D 26 04:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC) 04:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for the hint. I'll remember that. As for the logo, since you didn't see it in KNDU's home page, I might suggest the Tri-City Herald's home page. You can find it at: http://www.tri-cityherald.com. I'm a native of Kennewick, WA (the Tri-Cities Fever's hometown), and saw the story on KNDU's local news.

• Ran into a problem. I decided to check the local sites (including http://www.kndu.com and http://www.tri-cityherald.com. You were right about no mention about the uniform change, but I DID see the KNDU newscast on 1/05/07 and they did say that the Fever were returning to their old colors and logo because of negative feedback (I do live where the Fever play. I guess that the new colors and helmet may end up on eBay soon). But it's nice to know that you're such a fan of arena football. I have yet to see a Fever game live in the Toyota Center but I am proud of the team, especially when they won the NIFL championship in their first season (I guess that the Spokane Shock decided to do the same in af2 last summer). Elwin Blaine Coldiron 01:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Sounds fair enough. Elwin Blaine Coldiron 01:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• I think that there was no update because it was the beginning of the weekend and didn't have time to update the Fever webpage. I'll see if I can bug the Fever's front office on Monday and ask if they can update the page. BTW, you might want to end your messages with "~" four times, so that people know who sent the message.

[edit] Mike Kinkella deletion

Hi Joe, Just thought I would bring to your attention an article for deletion discussion that you might find interesting: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mike Kinkella (2nd nomination) Dhmachine31 04:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stop being such a psycho about af2 expansion.

If you wanted total control, you should have accepted my admin nomination. There are several unsourced cities as it is, and you actually removed a reliable active source once, which can get you blocked. I suggest you mind your own business. Tom Danson 22:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Arena Football League

Hi. I noticed that you are active within the AFL and its other pages. I'm proposing the project and would like your support. You can support by signing the Arena football section at the Wikiproject council. talk to me on my talkpage if you have any questions. ROASTYTOAST 23:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. We got enough signatures to start the project. I was wondering if you could upload a image of the AFL football or something to do with the AFL. I'm thinking of using it for the article template on the talk pages. Contact me at the project or my talk page--ROASTYTOAST 23:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

What's up. The Project could use your help and your expertise. Oh, and remember to sign up--ROASTYTOAST 23:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why?

Why have you reverted every single one of my edits? I spent a lot of time today to do all that. If it's a part of the project, then please show me where it has been said that my edits are "bad." --Ksy92003 (talk) 00:07, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Only one of them I did; see this diff. That was on the Georgia Force division record, I see. But for Dallas' and San Jose's division records, they still read as 1.000. That's the only problem that I have seen and in my opinion it would've been better for you to just change that to 1.000 instead of reverting my edit, which took a while to do. --Ksy92003 (talk) 01:44, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Los Angeles Avengers/Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers

This is in response to this edit you made: [4]. You said in your edit summary, "[P]layoff results only, not listing every round." Well. look at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers. For its "Season-by-season" section, it does say (for 2004 and 2005) whom they won against. Why did you revert me on Los Angeles Avengers when Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers has it the other way? And just so you know, according to Talk:Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers, that article is a part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Arena Football League. So, which was is it supposed to be? I think that it is important to show every round of the postseason.

When I went to Los Angeles Avengers, I saw that it only said, "Lost Week 2." So, I really wanted to know whom they beat in Round 1. I didn't know that they had a Bye because it didn't say it. Do you understand what I'm saying? If it doesn't say, how is anybody supposed to know? If the current way according to the project is to not list every single round, I think it should be changed so that we do show every single round. Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. --Ksy92003 (talk) 15:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I am aware of the development of season pages. When the opportunity arises, I will begin the Los Angeles Avengers' season pages. I just want to know, since the Avengers might make the playoffs, if I should only include one round of playoffs in the season records. This seems weird because if somebody lost in the ArenaBowl, it would only say, "Lost ArenaBowl [...]," but not mention any of the playoff rounds that they've actually won. Which way should this be done? --Ksy92003 (talk) 17:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Alright; I will take the question to the projcet page in a little bit, when I find time. --Ksy92003 (talk) 19:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
