:::Re : Ah, okay. With blocking, most admins start short with 24 or 31 hours and then progress for longer blocks more or less down the pop-up list. For IPs, I usually go 24/31 hours, 1 week, 1 month, 6 month, 1 year. For logged in accounts, the progression scale varies depending upon what they've done. Some get a short day long block and others go straight in indef or get an indef after they return. If you watch others, you'll get the hang of it. =) Also, after awhile you will get a feel for when a short or long block is required. You'll begin to recognize the troublemakers who will never do any good versus those who just need a short break. | |||
:::Protection length is a bit harder to do. You have to look at how long the vandalism has been going on. If it's just today, then maybe a short protection will work. If it's been going on for awhile, a longer one might be warranted. Also check the past protection history to see what has been going on. | |||
:::If you really want to see some action, watch when during school hours. The kids are out in force. Vandalism all over the place, blocks and protections are flying. Oh, what fun. =) -- ] (]) 21:46, 27 January 2008 (UTC) | |||

Randy MossI thought Jerry Rice's record was 21 touchdown instead of 22. Thanks for correcting it. --Phbasketball6 (talk) 03:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC) ReplyIt's really not that big of a deal, I've done that a few times. Basically, if an FLC has three supports but no opposition and has been there for 15 days, and I think it meets the conditions, I'll support it solely so that it can be passed. As for your closures, both had recent comments, and I try to give nominators a few days to address those comments before I close it, because the FL process is supposed to make a list as good as possible, and if there are concerns then we should give them a chance to be addressed. In fact, based on a few recent comments, I'm likely going to start being a bit of a harder judge when I close FLCs, and I will likely start failing them even if they only have 1 oppose "vote". -- Scorpion 21:51, 1 January 2008 (UTC) Early closuresEarly closures of FLCs are a HUGE no no. You closed List of works by William Monahan when it had one day left, and you closed List of ammonites when it also had one day left. And even if opposition isn't being addressed, generally such FLCs should be given a few MORE days, not a few less. -- Scorpion 13:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Indy Colts seasonsWhat happens next? Does it just wait for an admin or somebody to approve or what? Sorry I'm new at FL/FAs. HoosierState 22:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I really don't like doing this because it makes me feel selfish but I do believe Indy Colts seasons has passed nomination. It's been there for 10 days and it has 5 supports and 0 oppose. I would promote it myself, since you said anyone can promote but I no idea how to. I saw you knew how to promote so thats why I came to you to ask if you could. Again I don't like asking others to do stuff for me especially something I've worked a lot on but if you could I really appreciate it. Thanks, HoosierState 01:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
McGill UniversityPlease do not interfere if you do not know what you are talking about. The accusation to Snowfire is not absurd or baseless as you claim it is. Read the history for this article dated December 31, 2007 (21:23). You will see there that Snowfire offered a compromise (which he now denies) and that he offered to put the college rankings on the lead paragraph itself (which he now does not want to discuss). So what is absurd there except your note? Thanks.Editorhwaller (talk) 01:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks for your help with my talk page. Snowfire51 (talk) 02:06, 7 January 2008 (UTC) New NFL TemplateI fixed/merged the new templates that Fruminous created. I think combining the two leagues would be ok since they are seperate. I fixed the links the best I could, check it out now and see if it is any better. HoosierState 03:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi Gonzo fan -- It's a confusing situation. I've been working on the Steelers' seasons, putting the NFL templates that I created at the bottom of the pages. I've really been stuck as to what to do for 1969 and before. I created the first template using the "season" moniker, but realized that it wasn't the proper title, because truly the two leagues were playing two "seasons." Not being an administrator, I couldn't delete the first template. That said, from the 1966 season to the 1969 season, the two leagues were definitely separate, but did play a world championship in the Super Bowl. I created the template believing that, even though there were two different leagues, any visitor would be interested in what was going on in both of them. I can certainly understand an argument that we should create two templates, one for the AFL and the other for the NFL. This would make sense especially for the pre-1966 seasons. Call it a personal preference, but I'd rather see something along the lines of combining the two leagues, as their fates were intertwined. What's important to me is that we, as a community, create a strategy to deal with the seasons by team between 1960 and 1970. If that means creating separate templates, so be it. If it means creating a combined template, that's fine by me too. Fruminous (talk) 05:38, 7 January 2008 (UTC) Hi Gonzo fan-- Your templates look good. I cannot help but think, however, that if I were coming to these pages, I would want some way to navigate to what was happening in the opposing league. Basically, we have three periods that we have to cover:
We have the third case covered, so no problem there. Your solution works for the first solution -- so again, no problem. I propose that we put (maybe in italics) a link to the other league's season page for the 1966 to 1969 seasons. During that period, the two leagues weren't quite like Major League Baseball, in which they were administered by the same commissioner, but neither were they like MLB and Japan's professional leagues, who only play exhibitions against one another. Beginning in 1966, their fates were definitely intertwined. I'll take your 1969 NFL template and put it on my sandbox to illustrate my idea. Thanks for your ideas. Fruminous (talk) 23:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC) Gonzo fan-- Take a look at case 4. Let me know what you think. It's my favorite right now. Fruminous (talk) 00:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC) Brilliant!- This is a much better solution. 'Twas good working with you. I'll make the edits. Fruminous (talk) 00:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
It's all an interesting point similar to what we discussed earlier today and one that we need to vet with the larger community. The AFL/NFL merger does introduce some complexities! Anyway... I've managed to do what I said that I wouldn't and went ahead and created all of the templates back to 1960. I'll spend a final few minutes adding them to the team season pages. Take a look at them, if you would, and let me know if you see anything that I've missed. I'm sure that there's a year here and there that needs to be corrected.

Would you give your opinion about the other 2 images that I have uploaded to flickr for consideration? I don't mind having an admin image expert review the situation since I would contend that it is a picture of the location. That way everything should be safer. To me it's just like taking a picture outside of Lambeau Field: the logo happens to be at the entrace to the place. It's a part of the location. It's not a big deal to me either way. I agree that the potential problem should get resolved immediately. Royalbroil 04:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC) :)Second time today :) Rudget. 21:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
WP:LOTDIn the last month, you have created 3 new WP:FLs. From what I can tell, they are your first ones. Congratulations! You may not be aware of WP:LOTD. We are experimenting with selecting Lists of the Day so similar to the current WP:TFA and WP:POTD features that run on the main page. I invite you to participate.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 21:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Re:It's been sorted and is running again :) .

You might want to weigh in on the topic. Fruminous (talk) 04:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Merv PregulmanYou rated the Merv Pregulman article as a "stub" today. That appears to be a mistake. The article is eight pages long with more than 40 in line citations. I'd appreciate your taking a look at this again and revising the rating.Cbl62 (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
List of Indianapolis Colts first-round draft picksHey there again, I just recently created that new article. I would eventually like to raise it FL class as well. If you wouldn't mind I would really appreciate it if you would evaluate it and make any suggestions you would like. That way we don't go through the same issues that we had with the Colts seasons, haha. Thanks in advance. HoosierState 21:02, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

AdminshipHello. I've seen your work around plenty (basically just Brett Favre, I've had that watchlisted for years now due to the sockpuppets), and I think that you would make a good admin. If you'd like, I can nominate you over at WP:RFA. Let me know of your decision. Wizardman 17:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Alright, it's ready for your part now. Wizardman 01:09, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Hey Gonzo, Just wanted to say congrats on being admin without any opposes or neutrals.

Re:Sorrynvm it.
FootballSorry about your Packers, I know how you feel. So much for our plan of Colts/Packers XLII in the Desert, both of our teams fall short. At least the Packers/Giants game was a good game. There's always next year for what its worth. At least 1 Manning made it, now he needs to win it! Could you imagine? Back to back Manning winners!! Anyway see you later. HoosierState 03:20, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Re: List of career achievements by Brett FavreI mass-protected about 4000 non-existent pages to deprecate an old system. You should contact the deleting admin.

Anything else you think I should do? Bad luck yesterday BTW. Buc (talk) 16:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC) San Diego Chargers seasons now having a PR. Buc (talk) 20:19, 27 January 2008 (UTC) Hey, whats up?If you'd like to know some about me you can go to my page. But yeah, what I mainly do on here dealing with the Packers is that I frequently go to Ryan Grant's page to make sure nothing is vandalized, I also make sure that the correct and up-to-date information is on there. Once in a while I will update other Packer players wikipedias with new information about them as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Y5nthon5a (talk • contribs) 06:51, 23 January 2008 (UTC) I'd like to try and find more information on Ryan Grant and add it to his wikipedia. He has some, but since he is obviously going to be running all over teams next year like he has the final 10 weeks of the Packers season and the postseason, people need to know who he is...Lol ;). Also I am not sure if you knew, but Javon Walker stated at the end of December he would like to return to Green Bay. What do you think? I hope he goes back, although he needs to get his head out his @$$ because when he left he said that he didn't want to work hard for a team that he didnt like(the packers) yet after being with his current team for a couple years(which he said he loved when he joined) he wants to leave and come back to the Packers. I mean, he is good, but he is stupid for thinking that people do not know what he is trying to do...He wants to get fame by going to the packers since they are in such a good stage right now of the franchise. Y5nthon5a (talk) 07:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC) We need more information on Chad Clifton as well, his page barely has any information on it.
