Damn, what a draft

I never knew the kind of players you got in last year's draft. Hats off to Lord Volde... I mean Bill Belichick and Scott Pioli! :) Enigma message 20:16, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Frank White

Can you move Frank White (baseball player) to Frank White (baseball), its standard for baseball players to not have the player part, just in case you didnt know--Yankees10 20:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

thanks--Yankees10 21:46, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Bryan Robinson 1 and 2

Well I think we should just wait to create that new guy's page, seeing as how he's a UDFA from a small school. Odds are he won't be around long, and if he is he might not be on the Cardinals, so I think if we just hold off on creating the guy's page the situation will resolve itself.►Chris NelsonHolla! 18:08, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Patriots template

Hi, Pats1. fyi, I just finished converting {{New England Patriots}} to the {{Navbox}} format standardization for footer templates. Thought I should give you a heads up as you are the most active in maintaining it that the conversion was done and that I added division titles, retired #s and head coaches to more closely match the other templates in the set. Anyway, take a look. --Gwguffey (talk) 21:40, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

2009 Baltimore Ravens season template

I understand that the 2008 season has not been played yet, but I have a source which can be linked (as per the 2008 Baltimore Ravens season, reference #1) to what teams will be playing whom (by division), and using the explanation of the scheduling rules changes also found on that website, can ascertain whether or not each game will be a home or away game. Considering it is the only information on the page and has a valid reference, how does the 2009 Baltimore Ravens season fall under the guidelines of the "Wiki Crystal Ball"?RivalPeeps (talk) 11:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

- Good point. I just thought there were a bunch of random page startups with general nonsense on them, as far as creating (presumingly) follow-on seasons (i.e. starting the '09 season pg before 2008 season has started). Thanks for your clarification on this point!RivalPeeps (talk) 19:38, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Draft links

I've put up a user page showing how I think the draft trade info should be listed. I'm not saying it needs to be done exactly this way, but I think there are several advantages to a system like this: it allows more useful links (so, for example, you can link to the player traded, the other teams involved, the other season pages, etc.); it reduces space, as each trade gets one paragraph, instead of having three or four paragraphs that say the same thing over and over again; it reduces the amount of highlighted text, since there are few WP pages with entire linked sentences (and, besides, all the links are going to the same page).

Yes, but not until Monday or Tuesday. Samer (talk) 09:53, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

UDFAs/Chris' talk page

I saw the addition you made to his talk page today, with the edit summary "Done!" I don't know much about this collection of teams and the UDFAs for each team, but I noticed that you don't have the 49ers listed in that group. So if there's more that needs to be done, thought I'd help you and let you know that you haven't listed the 49ers there. Ksy92003 (talk) 22:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

..I suspected that. My apologies. Ksy92003 (talk) 22:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Deleting pages

Can you delete Marion Dukes and Kory Robertson? Brian Soi can probably go too.►Chris NelsonHolla! 23:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't want to. I'm not a deletionist. If they find their way to deletion one day, fine. Pats1 T/C 00:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Alright, I'll get someone else to do it.►Chris NelsonHolla! 00:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Marion Dukes will come back and get you one day. Pats1 T/C 00:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Quite frankly I don't know why you're making me go through all this extra work, when it won't be hard to find an admin that knows they aren't notable. I'll be the first one to admit I created the articles too hastily, and as it stands none of them are notable enough to warrant being here.►Chris NelsonHolla! 00:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I think they are. Don't worry about it. No need to be proactive in this case. Pats1 T/C 01:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

You're wrong.►Chris NelsonHolla! 01:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't caaaaaaaaaarrrrrrre. I just want to watch the Celtics game. Pats1 T/C 01:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
<sarcasm>Thank you Pats & Chris.</sarcasm> RC-0722 361.0/1 04:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
