	Hi, an editor, {{noping\|Bogens}}, has about the ] article. He says he is the subject of the article and would like it to be updated using information from a book, ''Where Have All Our Giants Gone''. I don't get a sense that he is doing this for self-promotion reasons. He says he doesn't have the technical skills to add references; he has a CoI in any case. It's not something I can help with, but I thought someone involved in this project might like to have a look. Best wishes, ] (]) 16:36, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Discussion to merge Template:Infobox Canadian Football League biography into Template:Infobox NFL biography

Discussion here ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:58, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

The 2 USFLs

I don't have ideas on how to handle this (merge, dabs, hatnotes, etc), so I figured I'd park this here for those interested.

There's USFL championship game and USFL Most Valuable Player Award, but these both deal with the later USFL, not the 1980s USFL.

However, the 1st USFL is handled at United States Football League § League MVP awards and United States Football League § Championship games —Bagumba (talk) 07:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Unless someone splits out the MVP and championship game for the original USFL, it would probably be better to merge the later USFL's MVP and championship game articles into the main league article. USFL championship game and USFL Most Valuable Player Award can then both be converted into dab pages that point to the different sections of the merged articles. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:02, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

AFB game box / AFB Game Box Scoring Entry vs. Americanfootballbox / AmFootballScoreSummaryEntry

Wondering if there are guidelines for the use of either set of templates (pre-2000 game recaps vs something newer?). If a page uses one style exclusively, then additions I make will employ that style. Thoughts? DarkStarHarry (talk) 16:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
