Who was that goat guy, lol

~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think they want to block him, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:15, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He's about to be blocked. I tried to report him, but someone else already did it. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:17, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GONE BABY!! Now that was awesome!!!! Bringingthewood (talk) 05:16, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He should have been reported yesterday. I was just praying that this 2007 Dell wouldn't freeze up on me. Glad you got to see the movie! :):):) Thanks for trying to get that report in. I almost deleted the good messages with the bad, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

lol lol ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:23, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TIL you're my sock

Not sure why I would do that, but if that sock says so, then it must be true. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 02:43, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page reverts

This IP is allowed to remove the warning on their own talk page per WP:TPO. Removal is acknowledgement that the person read it. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @EvergreenFir Funny thing is that I saw they reverted your warning, so I tried to help. Only because in the past I've seen those types of warnings were reverted. No good deed goes unpunished (That's me!). I knew that I would see a red bell light up, lol ... that's why I stopped after two reverts. Thanks for your message and good luck throwing out future trash. ;) Regards, - Bringingthewood (talk) 22:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No offense intended at all. I just wanted to let you know the IP's actions were technically allowed, even if kinda crappy. I totally understand why you reverted too. :) EvergreenFir (talk) 04:11, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page fmt

Sometimes, this is consensus —Bagumba (talk) 00:41, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you prefer visual over written communication.[2] lol—Bagumba (talk) 05:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regis and Street Sign

Bringingthewood I agree, I live in Morris Park but yes, Regis was from Van Nest. I don't know why MP always took ownership of Regis. I've contributed to the Van Nest page significantly over the years. Good to meet you. TheBronxNYC (talk) 04:31, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SB champs

I suppose some people wouldn't know what's a Super Bowl.[3]—Bagumba (talk) 02:20, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bagumba Super Bowl? Ohhhh yeah, that's when they crown The Iditarod champion. @@ Bringingthewood (talk) 19:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciation

Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate your contributions around here. May we make all of this better one edit at a time. Red Director (talk) 23:21, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Former compatriots

No issue if you want to assume Lasley is no longer in the job market. But his losing citizenship needs an RS. Otherwise, there's Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Football League/Archive 24 § Former American football players.—Bagumba (talk) 10:41, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

College statistics

I suppose it's one of those "standards", but doesn't a subsection "Statistics" under "College" already imply that they are college stats?[4] And why NFL bios have college stats as a subsection under "College", but NFL stats in its own high-level section (e.g. Peyton Manning). Feel free to ignore.—Bagumba (talk) 04:34, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore @Bagumba. Not since I removed links from the photos. ;) I always felt like people needed a seeing eye dog when they came here. I agree, stats under college meant college stats. I'm all for doing one less thing. But like I always do .. when I see 100 pages one way, I just go along. Should we continue to change collegiate to college? Because if I remove college completely, YOU KNOW someone will eventually find me, lol. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:43, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bagumba Had to mention this, I just now found a player that backed my original thought. When I add American, I tend to forget to add professional also. Then I thought, if they played college ball .. is professional correct? Just now I came across Ron Tilton. Isn't he like all the other professionals? Bringingthewood (talk) 04:59, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think Dirtlawyer1 used to put "college and professional football" if they didn't have a very long pro career or something. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:02, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9 I thought it was him. What I didn't want to hear .. 'if not a long career'. That leads to me reading .. which leads to me leaving, lol. Sorry to say, I make everything a job. Good news: Can't get fired, if you don't get paid .. only blocked. :/ John. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:08, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

lol ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

College = professional. No, these are amateuer student-athletes. Haha. MOS:ROLEBIO says: The lead sentence should describe the person as they are commonly described by reliable sources. I think that's usually their highest level. Sure there can be excepions, but the drive-by editors want cookie-cutter conformity. —Bagumba (talk) 05:12, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bagumba College = professional also means Professional = John's happy. Thanks for that. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:18, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Collegiate" can have its place depending on context, but if it's "collegiate football" vs "college football", stick with the shorter one (WP:FORMAL). —Bagumba (talk) 05:22, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bagumba Sorry for the delay, old computer. I see blue lights going round in my sleep! Okay, shorter when I see it, that's easy enough. Here's to an uneventful week. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:00, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are invited.

Hi! I created a draft Draft:Hosenul Islam . I invite you to check this draft and please inform me the weaknesses of the draft or edit it . Please !মোঃ আহসান হাবিব রিফাত (talk) 05:09, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9 Want it? Bringingthewood (talk) 21:37, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest he ask this question at the WP:Teahouse. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:41, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9 Thanks. I knew that stalker I get along with went away, lol. You know, this is like asking me to check over the space shuttle the night before launch. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 21:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9. When you have time, I ask this to make sure. I saw the T. J. removal and I went to J. J. and did the same. What surprised me was that there is a title section present. Then I saw Simeon Rice right now, his name is not mentioned there, but it does specify awards and honors. Is there a real way out there? I'm telling you, it would be easier for me to do my own damn taxes. @@ Bringingthewood (talk) 21:56, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Getting drafted isn't an award, champsionhip, or honor. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:57, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9 That I get and I thought that was the reasoning. But, and it is a BIG BUT, does the title now get re-situated or removed? I hate to touch things when not necessary. Or even to have just a few players lose what they should have. Too late for the Watt's. Just asking. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:01, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
