Yes, I've removed the box. Well done.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 21:32, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

If you have any questions at all about Wikipedia, you are free to ask me on my talk page. If I can't answer your questions I can at least point you in the right direction.Hope this helps.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 21:33, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

How's it going?

Hey Eagles247. It's been a while. How are you enjoying Wikipedia?--^{The Legendary}_{Sky Attacker} 06:00, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

You are absolutley right.--^{The Legendary}_{Sky Attacker} 20:01, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Eagles player pages

Please don't create pages for undrafted rookies if they are not notable enough. Some of the players released today should never have been created in the first place and might end up being deleted if they never make it pro. Thanks.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 17:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Replied on my talk.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 19:54, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

(ec) You may want to see WP:BIO and WP:ATHLETE along with WP:GNG for info if people are notable. An easy way to see if they're notable is to go to the google news archives to see if there are multiple feature stories on the guy. And as a side note I'd advise against creating those coaches unless they have "significant coverage". Cheers,--Giants27 (c|s) 19:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, but...

Hi, I appreciate you're hard work at articles like Ryan Neill (beating me to it by mere seconds) but in January and February me and User:Chrisjnelson, agreed to a deal on who updates the player pages since we're two of the more common ones. And as you can tell from the discussions it was decided between the two of us that whoever updates the respectibe roster template will update the respective player page(s), however they only have a 30 minute window to complete the edits (unless a page needs to be created in which case it's an hour). If they don't complete it within the time period, anyone can make the changes. The reason I bring this up is because you seem to be an active editor in the player pages area, and figured it was a good idea to bring it up to you. Thanks and by no means does this mean I want you to stop, whether you agree or disagree it doesn't bother me at all.--Giants27 (c|s) 22:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

This same thing just happened at Antwain Spann. Please see Giants27's comments again.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 19:24, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, let me get this thing straight. The person who edits a player page can edit it for up to 30 minutes without someone else editing it. After those 30 minutes after the first edit has passed, anyone can edit it. Am I correct? Eagles24/7 19:26, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, wait I get it now. If I want to edit a player page, I first have to edit the roster template for that player's respective team. Thanks, Eagles24/7 19:31, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

The person who makes the transaction on the roster template, like on Template:Buffalo Bills roster with Spann, gets to update the player's page within half an hour of making the transaction edit.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 19:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I got confused with Giants27's comment even though I read it over like 5 times. Sorry about that. Eagles24/7 19:39, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

It's not problem. We're not trying to own the page, it's just that we all seem to monitor the same NFL sites and see the transactions around the same times, so we're trying to avoid the inevitable edit conflicts by allowing the person that first makes the edit to follow through with the whole thing. Hope that's cool.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 19:41, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Yea, I understand completely. Eagles24/7 19:44, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, when you make a transaction on the roster template (like with Pizzotti) please put something in the edit summary like "QB Chris Pizzotti re-signed" that way if we're looking through the history for a specific transaction, we can find it more easily.

Also, please remember to update the roster count on the template when you add or remove players.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 20:11, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, sorry I didn't realize that that would have to be updated. Eagles24/7 20:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah it's not really for informing readers, but rather just for us. That way if it's 81 or 79 or whatever (something not the exact limit) we know to look out for another transaction.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 20:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

That's a really good system then. Thanks for the info and putting up with my n00b-ness. Eagles24/7 20:26, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

No sweat. We're glad to have you aboard, you seem to know what you're doing. We definitely welcome your contributions!►Chris Nelson^Holla! 20:29, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Chris! Eagles24/7 20:37, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey man, don't forget to update the count when you add/remove players on a roster template.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 17:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, jeez I'm sorry. I'm really off today and I totally forgot. I won't make that mistake again. Eagles24/7 19:58, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
