Coach Q

Hi Josh - I noticed your additions to the listing for Joel Quenneville on List of people from Windsor, Ontario, but what you have added is 'way too long. This list shouldn't be mini-biographies for the names listed; readers can follow the link to find out more about the person. I didn't want to just revert your edit because I can see you're being constructive, but please cut back on what you added. Thanks from a former Windsorite, PKT(alk) 16:14, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi PKT, that's definitely a valid criticism. I was wondering how long was too long myself when I was making that edit. I think you're right though, so I'll update that entry. Hey man im josh (talk)

Apologies

Hello again! I just wanted to send you a quick message to apologize for going back and forth with you the way that I did on a few other pages. Obviously that was wrong of me to do and I just wanted to acknowledge that with you. You can delete this if you'd like, but just wanted to make that known. In the future, if I notice any edits that I may disagree with, I'll 100% discuss first. Cheers Spf121188 (talk) 20:20, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

And if you don't mind me adding, you're doing solid work. Not that my opinion matters, but just wanted to let you know. Spf121188 (talk) 20:22, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks bud, appreciate it. I do this stuff to pass time at work when not busy, so I try to avoid drama and arguing. Check out the NFL WikiProject, it's good for helping to define what goes and what doesn't. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:33, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

I’ll take a look at that! I’m sure that’ll be super helpful for me; I don't use resources here quite enough, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction there! I appreciate your understanding, and look forward to working with you more! ps- I also do this while working... ironically to pass time haha Spf121188 (talk) 03:23, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Category:National Football League Defensive Player of the Year Award winner

Dear Hey man im josh,

You tagged this category as though it was part of a CFD discussion but you didn't initiate a discussion on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 December 22. If you want to discuss this category for deletion, merging or renaming, please set up a nomination on the December 23 page and correct the tag on the category. Or if you have changed your mind, please remove the CFD tag on the category.

You need to follow through on your tagging. This is made simpler if you use Twinkle to tag categories as the program which will take care of much of these steps for you. If you decide to tag a category yourself, then you need to post your nomination on the day's CFD page. You will find instructions on the CFD page. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:43, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Liz, I appreciate this post. This was my first time and I will definitely use Twinkle in the future if I need to request a deletion again. Sorry for the slow response, been away a week. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:53, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for this post. I do not wish to contest the nomination and will be leaving it. I also appreciate you placing the speedy deletion tag on there, as this was my first time requesting the deletion of a category. Sorry for the slow response, been away a week.Hey man im josh (talk) 12:52, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

WP:PACKERS

It's not very active these days, but if you are interested, there is a WikiProject for the Green Bay Packers! Been seeing you edit a lot of Packers articles lately, so thought I would extend the invite. Cheers, « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 13:39, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

It feels nice to be noticed and I appreciate you extending an invite. Unfortunately I'm from a part of Canada that forced me to a fan of the Detroit Lions (the only phrase my wife knows in regards to football is "F#$@ the Packers"). I think it'd feel too wrong to officially be a part of the wikiproject for the bad man's team. Thanks so much though! Good to know my edits are coming off impartial enough that my fandom wasn't recognized :P Hey man im josh (talk) 12:50, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Haha no worries. I have just seen you edit a number of Packers' articles, but maybe that's because you are editing a lot of NFL articles! Good luck « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:22, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Question

Hello! I have a random question I couldn't find an answer to on the page you sent me before. On several NFL players infoboxes, I've notice "USA Today High School All-American." Judging by what I read on the guidelines, it seems like that should be removed, but it doesn't explicitly say so. Can I get your opinion about that? I wasn't sure what to think there. Thanks! Spf121188 (talk) 21:47, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

To me it feels like something that shouldn't be on an NFL player's wiki but I didn't notice anything that explicitly states that. The only callout for high school in this guideline for player pages just says that high school state championships shouldn't be included. I think it'd be worth starting a discussion post on WP:NFLD to at least get some clarity. Then the player pages format page could be updated to reflect what the decision is under the to include or not to include section. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:46, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

I agree, so I started a discussion here [1]. Thanks! Spf121188 (talk) 13:16, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
