DJ Moore

(made a separate section to avoid confusion) Based on your recent edit on Claypool's page, do you want me to delete the rushing yard stat from DJ Moore's infobox on the top of his page? I didn't realize receivers should *only* have receiving stats there. ParXivalRPT (talk) 15:25, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

@ParXivalRPT: Yes. There was a discussion a couple years ago to only include stats notable for a players position, for receivers that's receptions receiving yards and touchdowns.--Rockchalk717 15:29, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Chase Claypool

Just so I understand, this is not a source?

https://www.si.com/nfl/draft/news/chase-claypool-trade-bears-dolphins-nfl-draft

We're still waiting for the Bears or Dolphins to post something official on their websites? ParXivalRPT (talk) 15:13, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

@ParXivalRPT: They have now but for future reference yes.--Rockchalk717 15:15, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Also for future reference, when can his stats be included? When he actually plays in a game as a Dolphin? ParXivalRPT (talk) 17:34, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

@ParXivalRPT: Yes.--Rockchalk717 20:21, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Do you know if there is any consensus on if the "w" in "Week (X)" should be capitalized or not? Just so I have a source going forward to adhere to. Thanks again! ParXivalRPT (talk) 03:31, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

@ParXivalRPT: I don't think there's a consensus per se, but I think most people do lower case.--Rockchalk717 04:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Oh well

The NFL Network just posted it five minutes ago. I really wanted to ditch TMZ! Hope your classes went well. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:51, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello again. Not to mess up your talk page, I'll just continue here. I saw that you removed the sacks for Deacon Jones, and I removed Fred Dryer's. What do you suggest for the players who have totals listed, but started in 1981 or ended in 1982? L.T. for example, or Jack Youngblood. Should we just stay away from them (too much math and explanations) and stick to the careers ending prior to 1982? - Bringingthewood (talk) 23:22, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

@Bringingthewood: You're good. My best recommendation is to go with NFL.com's sack total because they'll go with what is official.--Rockchalk717 00:14, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan. Right now it's nice and easy getting those who retired before 1982. If Watt only got one more sack in 2021, I could stop seeing the "unofficial" sack leader on Al Baker's page. I'll let you go ... thanks for the response. - Bringingthewood (talk) 00:22, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

We had a good page here all along List_of_National_Football_League_career_sacks_leaders. Several infoboxes were already correct. Glad you edited Deacon Jones, not sure if it's a WP rule, but the infobox should really show stats that are 'official only'. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

@Bringingthewood: I think it's one of those unwritten rules more than anything. We do most things here based on being official, but that's the best thing I can point to about that.--Rockchalk717 03:20, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

The best and only thing. Sounds good to me. Hopefully most will leave these alone. Thanks again and have a good week. Bringingthewood (talk) 03:27, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

@Bringingthewood: No problem, you too.--Rockchalk717 04:02, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Possible College of Faith Football Article

Since you're a college football fan, I'm sure you remember the College of Faith football teams of the mid-2010s (yes, there were two — three if you count the University of Faith out of Florida). I do think this would be an extremely interesting project, but I first need to complete the game log for all three teams. What do you think? This Reddit post offers great insight on the history of College of Faith up to 2014: (OC) The History of College of Faith: Background on the Noble Idea that Failed in Practice. Wjenkins96 (talk) 05:03, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

@Wjenkins96: I'm actually not familiar with that. I did do a google search about it and it turned up limited sources and several different schools popped up in the results. The problem with this I'm finding is, while with the little bit I saw it would be interesting, an article about it may struggle to pass WP:GNG, which are the basic general notability guidelines articles must follow to remain in Wikipedia. There must be multiple independent reliable sources in order for it to pass.--Rockchalk717 05:47, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

CONTACT ME

First, be polite. Your curtness is irritating. (See what I mean?)

Second, you have reverted several of my edits to Kansas Jayhawks related pages, especially to the 2023-24 MBB page.

You call them UNNECESARY EDITS but do not explain what makes them "unnecessary".

I was not in the mood to argue your previous reversions, but I am not letting the removal of the notice of the game honoring KU Alum and Hall John B. McLendon, Jr. go.

I understand I am a novice at this and you a seasoned hand, but that entry is a perfectly valid one and has even been addressed by KU AThletics on its website as part of its PR for the nonconference schedule.

Please contact me to discuss your reasoning. I would like to settle this misunderstanding between us, not in what looks to be a public forum.

I do not know how to contact you privately from here or I would. Perhaps you could help with this?

Thank you. LTCUSARet (talk) 19:37, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

RockChalk717, please go to the Talk page for KU MBB 2023-24 to repsond.

Thanks!

linebacker/defensive end

so are we just changing free agent pass rushers to the position that they played most of their career, rather than what they most recently played (Frank Clark)? If so please let me know so I can change/fix this for other pass rushers Bears247 (talk) 18:55, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

@Bears247: I don't think there's a consensus either way but it doesn't make any sense to list a position a player played 2 games at (excluding games he was inactive) since college.--Rockchalk717 23:08, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Sacks prior to 1982

Hi RC. I've been having a conversation with @Sergio Skol regarding official sacks being listed, no sacks prior to 1982 etc. Sergio asked if I could start a discussion about it. I'm asking you because I originally saw when you removed the stats for Deacon Jones. There's no rule that I see, but I'm against it because the amount of players to change and designate official/unofficial would be insane. This can't be swept under the rug, what do you suggest as far as a discussion? I can't let this go, because I'm not, you're not and Sergio will not be in the mood to revert these every week. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:39, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I'm against adding stats to the infobox that are not official. Not against you removing them from Deacon Jones, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:45, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
