Earl Morrall

During Earl Morrall’s NFL career, did he suffer any eyesight problems like myopia, astigmatism, or color blindness? Could brain concussions affect eyesight?Rich (talk) 08:57, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No idea about the first question. For the second one, these links may be of interest [1] [2] [3] [4]. Our article Post-concussion syndrome#Physical also mentions issues that relate to eyesight. Nil Einne (talk) 12:50, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a cursory google search on "Earl Morrall eyesight" and can find no information on any vision problems he had, either during his playing career or in retirement. His Dolphin's teammate, Bob Griese, had famously bad eyesight and started wearing glasses during play in the late 1970s. --Jayron 32 14:18, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

? About Jimmy Neutron Characters

This question has been haunting my mind for a long time but the mystery is ready to be solved. Does Paul the Island Chimp count as a character in the aforementioned CGI Nickelodeon cartoon or not really because he does not appear anywhere in the series outside of the Deoxyribonucleic Acid Productions end card? Same is said about the eyepatch wearing canvas from SpongeBob not being featured in a single episodes aside from the theme song. I’m just curious.

Symphonic Rock page?

I remember seeing a separate page on "Symphonic Rock" sometimes in 2015 or so, but now it redirects to the page "Progressive Rock"(separate pages still exist for the Symphonic Rock Albums, S.R. Musicians and S.R. Songs, though, so my memory might not be completely off). I don't know how to check if that page did really exist, nor to see what was on it if it did. Any help would be much appreciated, writing a book on the electronics of rock, would like to reference that original page if possible, even if it is not available anymore -- kind of complicated to explain the reasons here Thanks in advance, Vladan Jovanovic

It was merged with the progressive rock page in 2016. You can see the last version of the page before the merge here. But you can't cite that page as a reference. You can only cite the sources quoted in the page. In theory at least, everything in the article (like in any Wikipedia article) should have a source. Wikipedia is not a source itself, it's a collection of previously published information. --Viennese Waltz 20:20, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. Understand the point about citing the page, will work around that, but please tell me how was I supposed to find the old page that you linked in your response? Wherever I tried to search for "symphonic rock", it always redirected me to the "progressive rock" and its history

The problem here is that there are two redirects, Symphonic Rock and Symphonic rock. The wiki software means that page names which are capitalized differently are treated as different pages. You were looking at the first redirect whereas I looked at the second one. I found the old page by looking at the page history of the second redirect. PS.

Gosh, that was a tricky one. Thanks so much for helping, and for teaching my about thetildes Vladan3101 (talk) 18:26, 17 September 2020 (UTC)Vladan[reply]
