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.

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)

Your good article nomination

Hey there! Great job on List of Detroit Lions in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I just wanted to let you know that I actually removed the good article nomination tag, as the good article criteria does not allow lists to be nominated as good articles. You're more than welcome to nominate it as a featured list, though! :) — GhostRiver 19:53, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the kind words! Sorry, nominations like these are new to me, so I really appreciate you making this post on my talk page to help me learn. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:55, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Dealing with edit warring

Hi Hey man im josh, please inform/warn users (including IPs) on their talk page when you revert their contributions. The templates listed at WP:UWARN may be helpful; Twinkle offers a nice "TW -> Warn" menu on user talk pages. And if that turns out to be unsuccessful, please report the behavior, for example at WP:ANEW. Thanks! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:13, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your intervention and for this post, it's very helpful. I've added those links into my slowly growing list of Wiki references that I fall back on. I'm going to read more through the tags to consider their applicable uses shortly. Thanks! Hey man im josh (talk) 20:19, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for enforcing the verifiability policy :) No worries! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:21, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Marcus Houston

Hello! Just letting you know I saw your proposal for Marcus Houston for deletion, so I went ahead and started an AfD on his article here as I agree with you. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks! Spf121188 (talk) 17:42, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! First time creating one and I thought the Twinkle process completed the whole thing. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:54, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Of course! I work with the AfD process now and then, you can let me know if you have any questions. I don't think you did anything wrong at all, I just formally nominated the article. The proposal you left on the page helps other editors start the nomination or find new sources, but I couldn't find any, so off to AfD it goes. Cheers!! Spf121188 (talk) 18:00, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

If you don't mind me asking, can you let me know how to archive talk page discussions? I haven't learned how to do that yet. Thanks! Spf121188 (talk) 18:57, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm still messing around with it and am definitely not an expert. I'm working off this page; Help:Archiving a talk page. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:59, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Ah! Still helpful, thanks! Spf121188 (talk) 18:59, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Robert Brooks

Hello again! I'm sorry to clutter your talk page; can you take a look at this diff? I took this particular award down because it's from PFWA, not the AP. I turn to you for infobox questions, so sorry again for all the messages. Thanks! Spf121188 (talk) 19:54, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

No worries, it's no clutter at all. I wondered that myself when rearranging the awards but I left it as is to look at at a later time. I'm looking over the player page format and under the what to include section it references which publications to include for MVP. It doesn't call out which publications to include for other awards but, given that it specifies for one and not others, I'm inclined to believe that it would be okay to remove. I don't think PFWA is given much credence anyways, and the official award (presented at NFL Honors) is always the AP award. I'm in support of removing it, especially because we don't need multiple publications presenting the same award. The only PFWA awards I see given any credence are the PFWA All-Rookie team and the Golden Toe award, but I think mostly because nobody knows what to do with that one. The rest of their awards, like the Good Guy Award are usually removed. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:01, 17 February 2022 (UTC)]]

Yep, that was my thought process as well. PFWA is reputable, but typically whoever wins that award will likely get it from the AP, and if it does differ, I don't see the need for including PFWA, SN, or any other publication that isn't awarded at the NFL Honors. The All-Rookie team from PFWA I think is included like you mentioned, because the AP or any other publication doesn't actually have an All-Rookie team, so that makes sense. Just wanted to make sure we're on the same page. Thanks again! Spf121188 (talk) 20:06, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Yup I'm with you on that. I defer to the NFL Honors as the "official" version and the rest are just putting out their own version. When there are multiple publications out there, you go with the one that the NFL recognizes. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:10, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

One more thing- the AP didn't award a CPOY from 1967-1997, but PFW and PFWA did. How do you think that should be handled? That encompasses roughly thirty players. Think it should stay in the infobox for them? That's a tougher dilemma, but my instinct always says stay consistent for everyone. Spf121188 (talk) 20:12, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

I think we need a separate coach page personally. Applying these standards to both coaches and players is difficult. I proposed it a while ago and there was support, but I got busy and wasn't able to spend the time on it. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:52, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I should have spelled this out better, when I wrote CPOY, I meant comeback player of the year. The AP didn't award a comeback player for those 30 years, but PFW and PFWA did. My bad, I should have specified that. Spf121188 (talk) 20:54, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

That's a good question that I don't think I can give you a good answer to. My personal opinion would be that they shouldn't be included, but my personal opinion isn't always what the guidelines end up being. With this one being a grey area it's hard to say. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:04, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Ben roethlisberger

Big ben is not the longest tenured player for a single franchise. Tom Brady played for new england for 20 years, which definitely beats 18 years by ben. 66.207.29.228 (talk) 01:40, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Did you post this in the wrong place? I haven't made any statements or edits stating that Ben is. Hey man im josh (talk) 02:07, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I suspect you meant to post this on the talk page or make an edit to the wikipage. I went ahead and removed that part from the lead in Big Ben's wikipage. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:54, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Transclusions of nonexistent templates

Please do not transclude nonexistent templates, as you did in this edit after I fixed the page. It causes those nonexistent templates to appear at Wikipedia:Database reports/Transclusions of non-existent templates. See WP:REDNOT for guidance. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:31, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

"Fixed" is definitely not the right word for what you did. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:52, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

The guideline is clear. Please find a way to list these nonexistent templates without transcluding them. There are a number of ways to do this. I'm happy to offer help and guidance. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:57, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
