userpage[edit]

Hey there. I'd like to ask that you create for yourself a userpage, for the purely selfish reason that when I'm doing New Pages patrol, and I see a page created by someone whose userpage has a redlink, I think it to be the work of a newbie, and it takes me an extra minute to check it out and validate it as being genuine.

re: Super Bowl articles[edit]

Although I do not entirely 100% percent agree with every single detail such as the ones you mentioned, I will try to keep them (after correcting the spelling and the grammar of course). After all, most of those plays are covered on those 30-minute Super Bowl highlight shows of NFL Films. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:03, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah pluss some of them are just downright funny. The second quarter of Super Bowl XXII and the first quarter of Super Bowl XXVI played out like slapstick comedy--Chainclaw.

I need a favor[edit]

I just created a poor stub on the former Washington Redskins player Mark Murphy, I can't find much info on him though. I know you are good in expanding football profiles, Can you expand it. Thanks --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 01:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, the problem is that I checked goggle and there was too many Mark Murphys mostly about a jazz singer with the same name, and I also checked Pro Football Refernce and they only had the Mark Murphy who played for the Green Bay Packers. Thanks again --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 02:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For defensive players, you should check databasefootball.com, not PFR. Though I gotta admit Murphy was a little hard to find there because his name is spelled wrong for some reason

--Chainclaw

Bengals[edit]

Good catch on the second Bengals-Niners super bowl correcx. That's what I get for copy editing at 5 am. I'm a Bengals' addict, so I'll be tidying the page up a bit. No major changes, just grammar cleanup. Hope you don't mind. --docsophist 22:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

than[edit]

Please use than for comparison, and then for chronological reference (e.g. less than, more than, instead of then). 204.113.242.78 17:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nominations[edit]

Just a friendly reminder to make your DYK nominations at the bottom of the relevant date, per the instructions. BigHaz 22:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK[edit]

On 10 August, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Max McGee, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Pete Johnson[edit]

You added to the Archie Griffin article that Griffin's 1973 breakout was in part due to Pete Johnson's blocking. However, Johnson did not become the Ohio State starting fullback until 1974. In 1973 the OSU fullback was Bruce Elia^[1]. (And in 1974, Johnson was still splitting time with Champ Henson.)

Furthermore, singling out the contribution of any fullback minimizes the contribution of the terrific 1973 Ohio State offensive line, featuring All Americans Steve Meyers and Kurt Schumacher, and Heisman runner-up John Hicks.

Super Bowl III Excessive Commentary[edit]

Chainclaw,

I'm new to Wikipedia and still "learning the ropes." I wonder if you could give me some guidance on what should be in the Super Bowl articles, and what constitutes "excessive commentary." I was trying to put things in context (maybe that should be in a separate section, not in the game summary?). The only deletion I take exception to is the reference to Hill's success against Braase, which I feel is critical to explaining the success of the Jets' running game, which in turn was critical to their victory. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65tosspowertrap (talk • contribs) 21:59, 17 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Rice/Poindexter Case[edit]

Hey, the link to the Fraternal Order of Police's statemtent about this case is down. Do you know if the page can still be accessed? I couldn't find it on the Way Back Machine, but it would be nice to have as the article is hard to NPOV. Smmurphy^(Talk) 17:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Super Bowl XLII[edit]

While your enthusiasm is to be commended, it helps if you check your sources/facts before adding large sections; there were numerous errors in the info you posted on the Pats. Just to name the ones I saw off the top of my head:

Moss did not lead the league in yardage (he was second).
Jarvis Green is not a full-time starter on the DL; he held Seymour's place until Seymour was ready.
The Pats play in a 3-4 defense, not a 4-3, so they have inside linebackers, not a middle linebacker.
That fact aside, Mike Vrabel is an OLB, not an ILB. He can play ILB if the situation calls for it, but OLB has always been his natural position. [And, come to think of it, why mention Seau, Vrabel, and Thomas, but ignore Bruschi (and Colvin)?] Samer (talk) 15:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, let me reiterate: accuracy is important. Before you add material, especially if it was deleted, you should check to make sure that it is, in fact, correct and appropriate. As an example of correct: the Pats gave a 2 and a 7 for Welker, not a 2 and a 6 (you also misspelled "acquired"). As for appropriate: What does "immediately" mean in describing Moss' improvement? Is that material actually relevant to the article at hand? Samer (talk) 03:09, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(1) You're assuming that I listed everything that needed to be changed. I didn't (for example, the proper link is to Benjamin Watson, not Ben Watson). (2) I also added several pieces of factual information, which you removed in your revert. (3) The other reason for the heavy editing is that the tone should be more encyclopedic. Samer (talk) 01:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm the one that keeps removing it. My basic objection to that is the logical fallacy known as post hoc ergo propter hoc--"after this, therefore because of this." In other words, just b/c the Pats acquired Welker and Moss doesn't necessarily imply that they had anything to do with the Pats' improved passing game. I know that the obvious response is "How can you argue that?", but from the standpoint of verifiability, it's something that needs to be addressed. Samer (talk) 19:49, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miami Shootout[edit]

Please see here for how to cite sources. I doubt the gun zone is a reliable source, and I suspect the actual FBI inquiry trumps Ayoob's inaccurate work. Geoff B (talk) 18:21, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chainclaw, are you logging out to continue to edit the article as IP address 75.179.176.227? Geoff B (talk) 14:10, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Chainclaw! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 942 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Billy Joe Dupree - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Louis Breeden - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Game "summery"[edit]

I reverted your addition to Super Bowl XLV once again because it seems to be entirely your own (unsourced) commentary. Furthermore, there is no reason to remove the scoring infobox. I would also like to remind you that summary is spelled with an "a", not an "e". ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 05:32, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NFL playoff articles[edit]

Regarding your reverts of my edits: The detailed content was split. Sections should now conform to a summary style per Wikipedia:Summary style. You don't have detailed game summary content on the Super Bowls on those pages either. Zzyzx11 (talk) 23:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

--Playoff games have detailed information when its available. Separate game articles do not necessitate lack of detail in the playoff pages. That would make no sense.--Chainclaw (talk) 00:07, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we have a different interpretation about what should be split, and what should remain on the main playoff page. Since it's currently just me and you in this disagreement, I will not go into a further edit war with you. Regards. Zzyzx11 (talk) 00:18, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just don't see why the playoff page can't have any detail simply due to it being available on a separate article. If you want to re-write the summaries in the playoff pages some so they sound more distinct then the separate game articles, go right ahead. Just don't reflexively remove everything.--Chainclaw (talk) 00:26, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Rocky Balboa (film), but we cannot accept original research.

Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. SummerPhD^v2.0 01:05, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
