[edit] Notable moments

The "Notable moments" section is huge, it should be toned down to a few of the most important or moved to another article. Any suggestions? Blackngold29 (talk) 23:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Whyd we delete the jaguars section and the spygate comments

Personally, I dont see why the jaguars would NOT be considered a rival. As a Steeler fan and avid follower, its easy to see. They've recently been at eachother like mad and on top of that they make some of the best football games. You also cant deny the previous division connections. If were going to have a rivals section we might as well have em all, even if Steelers have a dozen of them.

And bng, i know you love the jag's games. And I wrote it from a pretty clean standpoint, I was quick to point out JAX's supremacy in recent times.

As far as the spygate comments, I agree they were a touch opinionated, but they did cite the reference that was brought up by NFL.com and other sites. Its worthy of being inserted. Although I can understand why not, as it is more explained in the spygate article on Wikipedia.

I think the Jags info is worth including, my problem is with the whole "Rivals" section which has gotten excessive. If you would like to help, please see the re-write that is currently being worked on. The Spygate stuff was, in my opinion, a bit much. If it were to be added it should be on the 2007 Pittsburgh Steelers season, I don't see it as notable within the scope of the history of the Steelers franchise. Again, if add a section to the re-write and we can see how it fits into the overall picture. We have to remember that this article is about the Steelers franchise, not a news source for the latest info on the Steelers. It's all good info, but it's just a bit much. If someone disagrees with good reason, I will not remove it if it is added again. Blackngold29 (talk) 01:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I hear you. I personally feel there should be a separate page dedicated to Rivalries, and have a brief paragraph on the main page to link to it. Because I will agree its diving in too deep for a more general page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.39.208.218 (talk) 15:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Overhaul

The Steelers WikiProject is currently overhauling the article here; anyone and everyone (inculding non-members of the project) is welcome and encouraged to help. All suggestions are welcome. Please leave them on the discussion page. Thank you. Blackngold29 16:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Steely McBeam merger proposal

I have proposed this merge becuase the article concerning Steely McBeam is very short. I have added a section to this article (See: Pittsburgh Steelers#Mascot that I feel presents enough coverage of the mascot of the Steelers. Blackngold29 20:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
