Independent Professional Football Leagues of America

[edit]

According to my research the association was also reported by UPI that was published nationwide and was titled "4 Grid Leagues Form Nationwide Group" (without mentioning the Midwest Professional Football League). At first I was sure that the "Texas League" was a different name for the Southwestern Football League, but now I think that it was something to it (maybe a proposed league or something). It worth looking it up, but at least keep in as an anecdote --Ccui123 (talk) 22:29, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ccui123: I chose to include the May 1972 article from Des Moines Tribune because the wire article from the AP in March 1972 said it was still waiting for one or two more teams to join. I assume they all did by May 1972. I'll add back Texas League, maybe it's different. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:00, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I just remembered something, Arthur Arkush from the Pro Football Weekly was involved with the Trans-American Football League and was later tried to established new football league in the region. Maybe "the Texas League" was related to his attempts (but it may be also me trying to fit a square peg into a round hole...).--Ccui123 (talk) 12:16, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ccui123: I'm not seeing anything connecting the two. Eagles 24/7 (C) 16:29, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Always learning

[edit]

Hi Eagles247,

When I saw that Fantasyfootball04 was blocked, I thought I was next, lol. I was like ... man that person really helped out with adding U.S. Thank God for a 'show block details' tab. I actually thanked MC for helping with just that last month, not knowing a block was coming.

That's why you're the administrator. :)

Nice meeting you. Regards, Bringingthewood (talk) 22:21, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bringingthewood: You've been doing a good job around here from everything I've seen! With some of these users it's not a matter of whether they have good intentions, but if they are competent enough to be an editor here. With the user in question, their enthusiasm, effort, and good intentions are all there, but they have proven they are not capable of learning from mistakes or guidance given. Thanks for helping out with WP:NFL! Eagles 24/7 (C) 17:33, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I get you 100%, it definitely looked that way. I was really hoping with thanks, maybe a non-combative word etc., would have helped him. Oh well, only time will tell.
One thing I wanted to say, truthfully, and this was from back when I was with Answers.com, I may come across willing to bend over backwards for people, nice guy I guess, but I'm not ***-kissing by any means. I'm friends with another admin. (hope he considers me a friend) and I've always respected authority. It's not me looking for brownie points. When I like people, I like people.
I really appreciate you responding to my message and please, like I've said to others here, if you see something that I'm doing that ruffles feathers, please let me know right away. I'm bad at stopping the ball from rolling. ;)
Glad to have met you and enjoy the rest of your week. Regards Bringingthewood (talk) 22:39, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bringingthewood: No worries, I'll be sure to point you in the right direction if needed! A quick tip if you're looking for one, when responding to a message on a talk page, be sure to use indentation. Wikipedia:Indentation has a good explainer for you, and I've fixed yours above. Thanks! Eagles 24/7 (C) 00:19, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I always forget that one. Wish I had the 'preview edit' button back again. Wikipedia must have changed things in April and I have a relic here. At least I could see the mess I make before making it. Sorry about that. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:25, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

[edit]

Hey. Thanks for your understanding, but that was on me. I was doing too many things at once and had the wrong set of diffs open. All the best, El_C 00:10, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question

[edit]

Hi Eagles247

Would you be opposed to restoring the NFL starting QB navbox but removing the current starters and just keeping the team links like the CFL one? Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:37, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9: That's a good idea, and it's a shame we didn't think of that as a solution to the navbox in that discussion. I've restored Template:NFL starting quarterbacks navbox and repurposed it by removing the "current" QBs, could you add the navbox to the list articles? Thanks!

Probable sock

[edit]

Pretty certain at this point that Oompaloompa1971 (talk · contribs) is that person from a while ago that was banned using numerous different IP's. The editing style is extremely similar. Yankees10 22:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yankees10: Yep, blocked. Thanks! Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:45, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you to both of you. That user was stressing me lol. I could not get a gage on the situation because the editing style was so bizarre and they were persistant. Red Director (talk) 13:29, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Think this user may be back under a different IP. [1] Red Director (talk) 18:26, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Red Director: Range-blocked. Thanks! Keep 'em coming if you see 'em. Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here is another [2]. Just one rather large edit to Derrick Henry, which was one of the targeted pages, from a static IP with no other history. Red Director (talk) 03:17, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Red Director: Blocked, thanks! I would expect this to continue for a little while. Eagles 24/7 (C) 15:03, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

revdel request

[edit]

hello, recently there was a pretty bad edits on Debra Messing (a pretty blatant blp violation). I'm not certain, but I think it might require a revdel.

Template:Georgia State Panthers quarterback navbox

[edit]

Template:Georgia State Panthers quarterback navbox was deleted here for not having enough blue links; there would now be 3 blue links (Nick Arbuckle, Darren Grainger, Christian Veilleux) - per this new information I am requesting undeletion Joeykai (talk) 14:46, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joeykai: I was not the closer of that discussion, but I do not believe a navbox with only three blue links that also does not have an article about the topic is worth restoring. My view is that is still fails WP:NAVBOX points 2, 3, 4, and 5. Eagles 24/7 (C) 14:56, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet

[edit]

This guy at Jordan Williams (linebacker, born 1994) has been removing the image for years. Cmm3 and myself keep reverting him but he always comes back with a new account. He still hasn't explained what his problem with the image is despite being asked by both of us. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 06:32, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9: I've reverted the recent edit, blocked the user as a sockpuppet, and semi-protected the page for three months. I'm not sure why they keep removing the image, but unless a good reason is provided it's just disruptive editing. Let me know if/when they return. Thanks!
