Randy Moss

I thought Jerry Rice's record was 21 touchdown instead of 22. Thanks for correcting it. --Phbasketball6 (talk) 03:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

It's really not that big of a deal, I've done that a few times. Basically, if an FLC has three supports but no opposition and has been there for 15 days, and I think it meets the conditions, I'll support it solely so that it can be passed. As for your closures, both had recent comments, and I try to give nominators a few days to address those comments before I close it, because the FL process is supposed to make a list as good as possible, and if there are concerns then we should give them a chance to be addressed. In fact, based on a few recent comments, I'm likely going to start being a bit of a harder judge when I close FLCs, and I will likely start failing them even if they only have 1 oppose "vote". -- Scorpion 21:51, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Early closures

Early closures of FLCs are a HUGE no no. You closed List of works by William Monahan when it had one day left, and you closed List of ammonites when it also had one day left. And even if opposition isn't being addressed, generally such FLCs should be given a few MORE days, not a few less. -- Scorpion 13:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Indy Colts seasons

What happens next? Does it just wait for an admin or somebody to approve or what? Sorry I'm new at FL/FAs. HoosierState 22:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for info, I didn't really know how this whole process worked. I'm going to take a look at your nom and more than likely give it support since you helped me so much through my process! HoosierState 23:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan, Colts/Packers Super Bowl XLII! Colts 27 Packers 13 :P. But in all seriousness I'm pulling for Green Bay in the NFC. I really can't stand either of the number 1 seeds. If someone questions my reason for support I'll tell them the article looks really good and deserves to be a FL, because it does. I just added the extra part because I didn't just want to say great work (kinda boring). Go Colts! --- HoosierState 23:32, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I really don't like doing this because it makes me feel selfish but I do believe Indy Colts seasons has passed nomination. It's been there for 10 days and it has 5 supports and 0 oppose. I would promote it myself, since you said anyone can promote but I no idea how to. I saw you knew how to promote so thats why I came to you to ask if you could. Again I don't like asking others to do stuff for me especially something I've worked a lot on but if you could I really appreciate it. Thanks, HoosierState 01:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I knew it was a bad idea to close it myself anyway, thanks for all your help the last 2 weeks. HoosierState 02:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

McGill University

Please do not interfere if you do not know what you are talking about. The accusation to Snowfire is not absurd or baseless as you claim it is. Read the history for this article dated December 31, 2007 (21:23). You will see there that Snowfire offered a compromise (which he now denies) and that he offered to put the college rankings on the lead paragraph itself (which he now does not want to discuss). So what is absurd there except your note?

New NFL Template

I fixed/merged the new templates that Fruminous created. I think combining the two leagues would be ok since they are seperate. I fixed the links the best I could, check it out now and see if it is any better. HoosierState 03:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Wait what do you mean by I think it would look a lot cleaner and go in line with the other NFL season by team templates. they look the same formatting wise. HoosierState 03:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Gonzo fan --

It's a confusing situation. I've been working on the Steelers' seasons, putting the NFL templates that I created at the bottom of the pages. I've really been stuck as to what to do for 1969 and before.

I created the first template using the "season" moniker, but realized that it wasn't the proper title, because truly the two leagues were playing two "seasons." Not being an administrator, I couldn't delete the first template. That said, from the 1966 season to the 1969 season, the two leagues were definitely separate, but did play a world championship in the Super Bowl. I created the template believing that, even though there were two different leagues, any visitor would be interested in what was going on in both of them.

I can certainly understand an argument that we should create two templates, one for the AFL and the other for the NFL. This would make sense especially for the pre-1966 seasons. Call it a personal preference, but I'd rather see something along the lines of combining the two leagues, as their fates were intertwined.

What's important to me is that we, as a community, create a strategy to deal with the seasons by team between 1960 and 1970. If that means creating separate templates, so be it. If it means creating a combined template, that's fine by me too.

Fruminous (talk) 05:38, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Gonzo fan--

Your templates look good. I cannot help but think, however, that if I were coming to these pages, I would want some way to navigate to what was happening in the opposing league.

Basically, we have three periods that we have to cover:

• 1960-1965 Seasons: Leagues are in competition with each other
• 1966-1969 Seasons: Leagues have an agreement that leads them to merger
• 1970 Season: Leagues merge

We have the third case covered, so no problem there. Your solution works for the first solution -- so again, no problem. I propose that we put (maybe in italics) a link to the other league's season page for the 1966 to 1969 seasons. During that period, the two leagues weren't quite like Major League Baseball, in which they were administered by the same commissioner, but neither were they like MLB and Japan's professional leagues, who only play exhibitions against one another. Beginning in 1966, their fates were definitely intertwined.

I'll take your 1969 NFL template and put it on my sandbox to illustrate my idea.

Thanks for your ideas.

Fruminous (talk) 23:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Gonzo fan--

Take a look at case 4. Let me know what you think. It's my favorite right now.

Fruminous (talk) 00:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Brilliant!-

This is a much better solution. 'Twas good working with you. I'll make the edits.

Fruminous (talk) 00:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

• Okay we need a 3rd party. Frum wants to use nicknames in the templates but I think since they are in different leagues (AFL/NFL) nicknames are not nessecary. HoosierState 04:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Since there were the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL in 1962 and the Dallas Texans in the AFL in 1962 Frum wants to use nicknames (Cowboys/Texans) in the templates to specify. They are in completely different leagues so I say no nicknames. HoosierState 04:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

It's all an interesting point similar to what we discussed earlier today and one that we need to vet with the larger community. The AFL/NFL merger does introduce some complexities!

Anyway... I've managed to do what I said that I wouldn't and went ahead and created all of the templates back to 1960. I'll spend a final few minutes adding them to the team season pages. Take a look at them, if you would, and let me know if you see anything that I've missed. I'm sure that there's a year here and there that needs to be corrected.

New Orleans Saints picks FLC

Seems a bit unfair to Oppose just because I don't agree with your advice. Buc (talk) 22:44, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah! so you were hoping we come reach a middle ground a compromise if you like. You should have said. What did you have in mind? Re-nom BTW. Buc (talk) 07:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't normally renominate straight away. Ok I'll concede the use of the Reggie Bush image since it show him before the Saints drafted him but not the Stallworth image because it shows him after his Saints career had endded. Also the images in there curent form look a bit ugly so how about if I make Reggie Bushthe only image? Buc (talk) 20:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Are you willing to show support now? Buc (talk) 21:02, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Do you know of another sourse for Draft Transactions? Apprently NC Systems isn't good enough. Buc (talk) 21:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Not much we can do then and the FLC rules do say "Each objection must provide a specific rationale that can be addressed." Buc (talk) 21:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

All I could find was this: Buc (talk) 21:52, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Got a reply today. He's not interested in helping us. Buc (talk) 17:52, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok I've had an idea of how this issue could be resolved. this site says what team the pick was aquired from so if the footnote are re-phared to say something like "aquired from x details unknown" we could use this as a sourse. Buc (talk) 10:07, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks like I've been able to sort thing out by using another ref and repharing the footnote. May want to take note of this for furture FL nomination for First rd draft pick lists. Buc (talk) 22:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Packers HoF image

I have responded to your reply on my talk page to keep it all together. Would you give your opinion about the other 2 images that I have uploaded to flickr for consideration? I don't mind having an admin image expert review the situation since I would contend that it is a picture of the location. That way everything should be safer. To me it's just like taking a picture outside of Lambeau Field: the logo happens to be at the entrace to the place. It's a part of the location. It's not a big deal to me either way. I agree that the potential problem should get resolved immediately. Royalbroil 04:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I didn't move it (I think that's what you're saying :)) - But yeah, hopefully that's the end of those sneaky deletions. Rudget. 21:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:LOTD

In the last month, you have created 3 new WP:FLs. From what I can tell, they are your first ones. Congratulations! You may not be aware of WP:LOTD. We are experimenting with selecting Lists of the Day so similar to the current WP:TFA and WP:POTD features that run on the main page. I invite you to participate.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 21:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

It's been sorted and is running again :) . Mønobi 03:45, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry.

AFL Template Proposed Merge

There's a proposed merge on the 1960 AFL Season by Team template. You might want to weigh in on the topic.

Merv Pregulman

You rated the Merv Pregulman article as a "stub" today. That appears to be a mistake. The article is eight pages long with more than 40 in line citations. I'd appreciate your taking a look at this again and revising the rating.Cbl62 (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to make the revision.Cbl62 (talk) 22:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

List of Indianapolis Colts first-round draft picks

Hey there again, I just recently created that new article. I would eventually like to raise it FL class as well. If you wouldn't mind I would really appreciate it if you would evaluate it and make any suggestions you would like. That way we don't go through the same issues that we had with the Colts seasons, haha. Thanks in advance. HoosierState 21:02, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay I fixed all your suggestions and nominated it. Once again you've proven as a huge alley! HoosierState 23:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
