Pats discussion

Well has become unbelievable, hasn't it?►Chris Nelson^Holla! 22:20, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Dude will you help me out at User talk:Durova? User:Bjewiki has reported me there for being disruptive. This is unreal.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 03:05, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Weekly stat boxes in season articles

Re: XXXX NE Pats season articles...

Has there ever been a discussion of adding in a game by game stat summary of things like first downs, yards rushing, penalty yards, yards passing, passing attempts, etc. quarter by quarter or at least game by game? Not by specific players, of course, but team stats. It should be easy to pick such data off NFL.com or other sources and put up, and I'd thought I saw some teams articles had some of this... just can't remember where I've seen it. (Hell, at my age, I'm lucky to remember how to find my zipper when I have to take a leak! <g>) Anyhow, what do you think? I can probably code up a template pretty quick if there isn't one around. // FrankB 03:17, 3 October 2007 (UTC) RING, ring!, I see you're active, so...? // FrankB 15:16, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Colts roster

I accidentally pressed enter before I finished my edit summary, I wanted to let you know that Thorpe was promoted to their active roster, but per the Indy Star the Colts didn't announce who was taken off it. So look out for that. Don't know if we'll have to wait until the game book or not.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 15:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Yo get on AIM.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 01:45, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Dolphins' 2nd KR?

In all of the NFL games I have seen, there has always been two KRs. One on the left side around the 5 yard line and the other on the right side. I think it's either Chatman or Cobbs that is on the otherside of Ginn as the second KR if it is not Marty Booker.
Raul17 09:25, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Ginn is really the only one deep. Chatman is up a little ahead and could take it if it's shorter, but he's usually a blocker for Ginn.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 01:07, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Garrett Mills

no one agrees with your idea, so just stop, all the other players released before the 07 season dont have that--Yankees10 01:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

WE DISCUSSED ALREADY AND NO ONE AGREED WITH YOU!!--Yankees10 01:08, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I tend to side with Yankees10 on this one. I'm only doing the asterisk if their tenure was ONLY an offseason/practice squad one. Like Darwin Walker with Buffalo.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 01:10, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I have some stuff to do right now, but I think this should be brought over to WP:NFL discussion (again...). But I don't see why the fact that Mills was on the Pats until September 2007 should be stricken from the record. Pats1 ^T/C 01:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

It's not stricken from the record, I just don't think there's a good enough way to present it and I think it might be overkill. If a guy was an offseason or practice squad member guy only, that should be clear. If a guy was with the team during the regular season, that should be clear. But we don't need to go overboard. Are we going to put Dan Marino's years with the Dolphins as 1983-1999, 2000*? If a guy was a regular season member, I think that's the important part of that listing.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 01:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Cool, cool. WP:NFL it, I'll check it out tomorrow. Don't have time now. Pats1 ^T/C 01:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Chris it is just unnecessary--Yankees10 01:50, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Vinny T to Arizona

I wasn't really sure why the part about Vinny Testaverde being approached by Arizona to actually play against the Panthers was taken out. It was in the news that a day before Vinny T signed with Carolina, Arizona had asked him but he said no because he didn't want to be too far from his family. Just wanted to know if that was taken out because (a) the grammar/syntax wasn't to your liking; (b) you thought the tidbit was unimportant; or (c) there was no footnote. If it's the last reason, I can do a footnote. You can check the associated press article here: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/recap;jsessionid=133CDA8A03FCFF094D9C7C6AFA4CD83D?game_id=29279&displayPage=tab_recap&season=2007&week=REG6

I just didn't want to keep altering the page and then have you re-alter it and keep going back and forth if it's either of the first two reasons. take care. ~Vinny C from NYC —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.252.208 (talk) 00:29, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Red Sox roster template

They're alphabetical, just like NFL ones. Good job! ;-) ►Chris Nelson^Holla! 14:56, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

pats1 - no negatives on any patriots

Mr Pats1 - you have undid Mike Vrabel's wiki page several times on reports of his recent fine by the NFL. The fine is a fact and a part of his NFL history. It seems as if you only want to sugarcoat your pats players. I disagree with that contribution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.115.50.26 (talk) 14:01, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Durova

Pats1, you don't have to jump into every single discussion between Chris and I. Your participation in that discussion was completelly unnecessary, and I also didn't appreciate your comment "Man, Ksy is really dying to find something incriminating against Chris." Are you saying that if Chris makes a personal attack against me that I'm just supposed to ignore it? Ksy92003(talk) 04:44, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Pats1's comment on my talk page, which I copied over here to keep the conversation in the same place. It was removed from this page for absolutely no reason at all.

I'm not saying you can't post there, but it's best not to if the only comments you're gonna make are like "Man, Ksy is really dying to find something incriminating against Chris." These are the types of comments that provoke people, especially when they're unnecessary and unrelated to the matter at hand. Then is when it's best to keep your mouth shut and not provokve other editors.

And if Chris makes a personal attack against me, do you think I'm not going to report it? Of course I will. He attacks me, I'm going to report it. If that's wrong, then I'm guilty of that. Are you telling me you wouldn't do the same? If I attacked you, are you saying that you wouldn't report me if I called you some bad names? Ksy92003(talk) 13:12, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Removal of comments

So, you're saying that "your policy" is law? According to WP:TPG, everything allows me to restore your comment:

"It is best to avoid changing your own comments. Other users may have already quoted you with a diff (see above) or have otherwise responded to your statement. Therefore, use "Show preview" and think about how your amended statement may look to others before you save it.

Altering a comment after it's been replied to robs the reply of its original context. It can also be confusing."

There is no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to restore your comment. And technically, since I was the one who made that edit where I added your comment, technically, removing it is changing my edit, which you also can't do. Ksy92003(talk) 22:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

KYS, here's a simple solution, just put the diff of his edit in your comment. SashaCall ^(Sign!)/_(Talk!) 23:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. I'll try that out. Ksy92003(talk) 23:17, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Gettin' started on the RfA

I'll start figuring out the formatting tomorrow. Hopefully we can kick it off Friday or Saturday. youngamerican (wtf?) 23:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

It ain't civil, but it ain't to bad. Just wait. *evil laugh* youngamerican (wtf?) 23:38, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

RfA time

My editor review

I don't have a problem with you saying anything you want to say, and I'm not sure I can prevent it anyway. I understand that you may say some things bad about me there, but that's alright with me there; that's the reason why I opened it. Ksy92003(talk) 22:57, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey. I finally got around to responding to your statements... your long, LONG statements :) If you don't want to respond to my responses, you don't have to... PLEASE don't want to... Heck, respond to them if you really want to :) Ksy92003(talk) 21:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Pats strategy

Pats1, I was considering adding a section to the New England Patriots Strategy article indicating certain players (past and present) who have embodied each position in these systems. For example, I thought it might be nice to show how Rosie Colvin was intended to fulfill the same weakside outside pass rushing role as LT. The idea behind my original draft of this article was to link the current strategies the Patriots employ with their past history. Do you object to such a broad application? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coppercod (talk • contribs) 21:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure you'd have to be pleased the Pats are the only 7-0 team in the NFL this season. VoL†ro/\/Force 21:47, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

withdraw deletion nomination

I nominated an article for deletion here and then changed my mind after realizing that the subject gets a huge amount of Ghits. I can't seem to find a process to go through for such a situation. It is by step 1 of the process. Should I just ignore it, or should I remove the afd tag, or should I continue with the nomination, or something else?--Brewcrewer 01:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I didn't make myself clear. I wish to withdraw my nomination. Thanks, --Brewcrewer 01:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. But what happens to the tag that was placed on the article? --Brewcrewer 01:55, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

RfA questions

Those are fair concerns. I would reply to the oppose in a logical, rational manner and not be afraid to accept that you may have initially misunderstood the question, but you have always felt that those are the core values of Wikipedia and the fount of all other policy. youngamerican (wtf?) 23:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Your RFA was successful

Congratulations, I have closed your RfA as successful and you are now a sysop! If you have any questions about adminship, feel free to ask me. Please consider messaging me on IRC for access to the #wikipedia-en-admins channel. Good luck! --Deskana (talk) 20:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

So you saw Heath Evans?

Congratulations

Hey there Pats1/Archives/2007, Congratulations on becoming an administrator. Obviously, it is unlikely that you will know how to use the tools at first and mistakes are bound to happen, so if you would like to practice using them, with step by step guides to follow, in an environement that you can do no harm in, then why not pop down to the new admin school where we have pages on blocking, deleting and restoring pages, protecting and unprotecting pages and viewing deleted pages. Once again, congratulations and best of luck with the tools. Ryan Postlethwaite 09:53, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

AFL - Patriots

Thanks for the head's up. I've removed all of the links. I had been using wordpad to copy-and-paste those boxes to all Patriots articles, and forgot to remove the AFL links after 1970. And congratulations on becoming an administrator, by the way. Soxrock^Talk/_Edits 22:29, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
