[edit] Post-merger expansion team?
The Baltimore Ravens are not an expansion team. Hence the Buccaneers would be the first post-merger expansion team to win the Super Bowl. (The Ravens are the old Browns ... the new Browns are the expansion team).—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.88.197.218 (talk • contribs) .
- Wikipedia follows the official NFL view, naming conventions and official record book: the Baltimore Ravens are considered a 1996 expansion team while the Cleveland Browns are considered to have suspended operations from 1996-1998. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 22:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Actually the 2006 Official NFL Record Book states that Baltimore received the "Browns operating unit" in 1996, but that all Browns records would stay in Cleveland. It nowhere mentions that the Baltimore team should be called an "expansion."
[edit] The pictures
Can there be any compromise. I read the fair use page, but seriously, those are the three most commonly seen Bucs logos Sportslogos.net 20:16, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
It's mostly used for deceration and it's clearly unnessarry thus violates WP:FU number 8 and number 3. Jaranda wat's sup 23:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
If you are talking about the picture of the black-sailed ship, it is not just decoration. It is a trademark of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and is depicted on the upper sleeves of the players' official field uniforms, directly below the sleeve numbers. It should absolutely be part of the main article per WP:FU, since it is an official part of the uniform, and therefore conforms to both minimal extent of use (3) and significance (8). If it's the prior "Buccaneer Bruce" logo, then it still follows at least (8), since the Glazers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers front office maintain an active trademark for licensing with two rationales: 1) to license this older logo to high school football teams; and 2) to make sure NFL Properties uses it sparingly, if ever, since it is a part of the team history that many would rather see stay just that: history. Technically, by the way, all NFL outer uniforms (as opposed to pads, braces, helmet shells, etc.) could be considered "mostly used for decoration"; all that would be needed for on-field identification would be contrasting colors for the two teams and individual numbers for each player. Everything else is window-dressing, but it's considered significant for team spirit, for an understanding of the local and team cultures (which also, by the way, covers memorial patches and uniform elements, such as the "GSH" on all Chicago Bears uniforms to commemorate George Stanley Halas. As such, secondary, tertiary, and memorial logos are absolutely not unnecessary. Thank you for your time. P.F. Bruns 04:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article needs to be locked
Some idiot radically destroyed this article! How do I get protection from getting this article to be prevented by vandalism?
This happens all the time. It isn't worth locking an article that people positively contribute to just because of a few vandalism attempts. It usually takes far less time to revert vandalism than it does to create it, especially if you use a tool like popups. Captkrob 14:25, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Team records??
As I was surfing through some of the other Team pages, I noticed that the Steelers had a Pittsburgh Steelers statistics page and the Bucs did not. So I created one ( Tampa Bay Buccaneers Records ) based on data from the Bucs website as well as from the NFL site. Should this be something in the main Buc article or separated out by itself such as the in the case of the Steelers. Yamokosk 16:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chance Castellucio
Chance Castellucio - Video Games and Snacks coach. This seems unlikely. It is also the name of a poster on blogs.tampabay.com. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.253.187.77 (talk) 06:25, 17 December 2006 (UTC).
Strong agreement. P.F. Bruns 04:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TRivia
I was going to be bold and delete the Trivia section according to WP:TRIV but I decided to ask you first. Really just should we move the trivia items into the regular text or just delete it? Felixboy 18:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
My personal feeling is that at least in this case, the information is important; the only reason it hasn't found a place in the regular text is that it has always been difficult to put such information in narrative form. I hope to have a shot at this myself a bit later, time permitting. P.F. Bruns 06:45, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yardage conversions to Meters
I went ahead and edited all instances where a yardage total also showed a conversion to meters. No one refers to any of the distances in football by meters, which makes such a conversion utterly irrelevant. So, as a result I have removed all metric conversions on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.253.186.23 (talk) 17:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
