Who was that goat guy, lol

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

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

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)

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Talk page fmt

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

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

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)

SB champs

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

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

@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)

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)

@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)

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

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)

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

"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)

@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)

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)

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

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

@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)

@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)

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

@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)

I'm not sure what you mean by title? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:36, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

@WikiOriginal-9 What we removed from the Watt's looked like this. | title = T. J. Watt—awards and honors. Now they're blank. Rice has this presently: |title=Awards, championships, and honors. It was always the first line before the list, under external links - Navboxes. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:49, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh I see. The title just gets removed. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:20, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

@WikiOriginal-9 Okay. I do have to admit, that's something I would do. Just wondering why it was there in the first place and filled in. HA! I knew that original message up there would lead me to the unknown! Stay well. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:28, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

@WikiOriginal-9 This is just wrong, Tom Brady has a title and not T. J. Watt??? Venting again. Have a good week! :) John. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:01, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I removed it. "Michigan Wolverines starting quarterbacks" isn't an honor. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 01:31, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

@WikiOriginal-9 Ooooookay. You do know when you **** with the G.O.A.T you get the horns. But I'll take your side anyway, promise, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:42, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I'd suggest noting this at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League/Player pages format § External links, similar to WP:NBAEL. @WikiOriginal-9: Any idea if there was a formal discussion on this for CFB/NFL that we can link to? —Bagumba (talk) 02:13, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh, looks like its the same discussion from the NBA page. —Bagumba (talk) 02:16, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

@Bagumba What do you mean, was this discussed at WT:NBA? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:22, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

@WikiOriginal-9: Yeah. At WP:NBAEL, some of the footnotes point to WP:CFB discussions. I think it came up after a clash btwn NBA and CBB styles (like the raging debate of using {{Infobox basketball biography}} vs {{Infobox college coach}}) —Bagumba (talk) 03:40, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I did the deed to the player fmt page. I'll leave it to more involved proj members to sort out what the proj's current practice on how to order and group the navs. —Bagumba (talk) 04:05, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
