Why was that deleted? I added over a thousand words to the Ray Lewis page when it was a stub and I was wondering why on earth added information was deleted from Wikipedia. Remember the beliefs of wikipedia, guys. It does not have a limit. It's supposed to be all inclusive. I am working on returning it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.126.46.148 ( talk) 11:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
13 pro bowls. Record.
I am concerned about this being in the infobox and my concerns extend to a general problem with the way "achievement clubs" are portrayed on here. Much like the 40/40 club in baseball and such - this "club" doesn't really exist. There is no award or organization that sanctions it and it is more just a way of identifying certain achievements by a player. Fans are more intent on this than anything else. I think it is certainly worth inclusion here and in wiki in general, but as it is currently misrepresented - i think we should kill it from the box. Any objections?

Sorry, I just thought that it was dumb for Ray Lewis to be re-directed to Ray Lewis (American football), I was thinking about when you type in Kenny Rogers it doesnt say Kenny Rogers (singer), I am sorry if this is hard to understand, but it is hard to write out what I am trying to say-- Yankees10 04:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Yeah the Michael Jordan Location is a great example of how this one should be with the disambig link at top-- Yankees10 05:37, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
That's exactly how it should be and exactly what I did. If someone types George Washington, they likely mean the U.S. president, not the instant coffee inventor. When someone types Michael Jordan, they're typically looking for the basketball player, not the chesterfield goalkeeper. Same logic applies here. We can discuss but I don't see why "Ray Lewis" should immediately redirect to the disambiguation page. The other people named "Ray Lewis" are hardly as notable. -- mc machete 07:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
I will try and simplify what i'm saying here: I personally agree with the Ray Lewis page housing the Ray Lewis (American football) content and then using a "for others" template. However, I don't know that either of us is in a position to make a claim about the notability of the runner when he is not from the states (i'm assuming here that you are from the us). We need to get input from people with interest before making that move. In regards to the Kenny Rogers article, I think that's a prime example where the main page should be the disambig page. I'm not disagreeing with you on Lewis, I'm just saying neither of us is in a position to affirm how people in other countries are likely to think of "Ray Lewis". If you don't want to raise this issue with someone like that, i'll be glad to go find some people (or at least try). If they don't want to participate, that's another thing.

Ray Lewis' mother is named Sunseria Keith. Her given name is Sunseria, "Buffy" is her nickname. I made the change to reflect that and was reverted twice, the second time also being accused of "sock puppetry" for no apparent reason. I certainly don't appreciate that at all, and I also do not comprehend the reasoning behind the name reversion.

I'm helping revitalize an article about Kathleen High School (Lakeland, Florida). There is no reference in this article about Ray Lewis playing all four high school years for Kathleen High School where his father also is an alumnus. There is a link on the Kathleen High School article that references Ray Lewis as an alumnus. I really think this additional information to this article will help boost the reference to his high school page. His Early Life section on his official website references his high school football.

The page is currently locked, but there is a typo in the first sentence stating that he's a "former" NFL linebacker, but he's clearly playing against the Colts at this very instant, and has several tackles. Even if he is planning to retire at the conclusion of the season, he is still active. Can you imagine if we said Brett Favre was a former player for each of his 3 last seasons? It would be like saying Obama is our "former" president, since he won't be serving another term.

Maybe it's just me but perhaps listing something like his numerous pro bowl selections would be better in the opening paragraph than the "best linebacker of all time," particularly without a citation.

This source is outdated and now links to the frontpage of Sports Illustrated. The citation is not only worthless to the article in that is doesn't validate the information it is supposed to validate, but also detracts from the article by offering misleading information. The information pertaining to this source is also highly questionable, one year is a relatively light sentence for obstruction of justice. 67.164.188.243 ( talk) 00:32, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
I can't edit the article since it is semi-protected, but I do feel that the information is a bit biased. It really only mentions evidence against him, such as the missing suit, Baker's blood being found in the limousine, the fact that he had recently bought a knife, etc. But it neglects to mention that basically every witness said that Lewis was in the limo screaming at his friends to get inside: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/remembering-the-ray-lewis-controversy/
Also, there was a very good chance that the judge would have thrown out the case had Lewis not taken the plea deal: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2000-06-07/news/0006070296_1_lewis-oakley-cognac/2
And, perhaps most importantly, this page says "No other suspects have been arrested for the crime." This sentence implies the crime remains unsolved. The fact is, it is solved. A jury found that Sweeting and Oakley had killed the two men in self defense: http://www.artclu.com/crew/bfoley/lawscope/index.cfm?L1=news&story=10&pg=1
By almost all witness accounts, Ray Lewis saw a fight break out and immediately ran for his limo because he didn't want to risk his NFL career. He desperately tried to get his entourage to come into the car with him, but he was largely unsuccessful, and Sweeting and Oakley ended up killing the two people in self defense, although they didn't seem too ashamed of it. He told them to be silent, deny everything, etc., and when questioned, he did nothing but lie to the police because he didn't want to admit any culpability. The reason why Ray Lewis' suit was missing is because it was probably covered in blood, thanks to Sweeting and Oakley, you know, killing guys, and Lewis tried to hide the evidence. Same explanation for why Baker's blood was in Lewis' limo. But still, only one witness will say he saw Lewis actively involved in the fight, and the witness is an admitted con artist who is later imprisoned (see Grantland article). Please include some of these facts, or at least emphasize that Sweeting and Oakley were found not guilty by self defense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.135.100.105 ( talk) 01:06, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/history/mvp/sbxxxv Super_Bowl_XXXV National_Football_League_Defensive_Player_of_the_Year_AwardLewis, the Super Bowl MVP, recorded 3 tackles, 2 assists, and 4 pass defenses. Not necessarily the most impressive line for the NFL defensive player of the year, but he was effective, in on nearly every play. The entire season, the defense of the Ravens dominated, and Lewis even told Shannon Sharpe in an interview, ‘Give us 10 points, the game is over’(nfl.com). He was referring to his offense, knowing that if you gave their defense the slightest bit of leeway, the game was over. After the game, Lewis repeatedly praised his teammates, stating how he wouldn’t be the player that he was without them.

I'm helping revitalize an article about Kathleen High School (Lakeland, Florida). There is no reference in this article about Ray Lewis playing all four high school years for Kathleen High School where his father also is an alumnus. There is a link on the Kathleen High School article that references Ray Lewis as an alumnus. I really think this additional information to this article will help boost the reference to his high school page. His Early Life section on his official website references his high school football.

The page is currently locked, but there is a typo in the first sentence stating that he's a "former" NFL linebacker, but he's clearly playing against the Colts at this very instant, and has several tackles. Even if he is planning to retire at the conclusion of the season, he is still active. Can you imagine if we said Brett Favre was a former player for each of his 3 last seasons? It would be like saying Obama is our "former" president, since he won't be serving another term.

Please update his profile template by adding another pro bowl selectio to his career achievements and highlights section and updating that its 13 record pro bowls for a linebacker. Sedna13 ( talk) 28 December 2011 (UTC)
Maybe it's just me but perhaps listing something like his numerous pro bowl selections would be better in the opening paragraph than the "best linebacker of all time," particularly without a citation.

I would like to edit the first sentence of the second paragraph of the Legacy section as follows.
CURRENT verbiage: "Lewis has been referenced in television shows such as The Wire, films such as The Rundown, and in music videos, such as in Mario's "Just a Friend 2002" and Nelly's "Heart of a Champion".

This source is outdated and now links to the frontpage of Sports Illustrated. The citation is not only worthless to the article in that is doesn't validate the information it is supposed to validate, but also detracts from the article by offering misleading information. The information pertaining to this source is also highly questionable, one year is a relatively light sentence for obstruction of justice. 67.164.188.243 ( talk) 00:32, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
I can't edit the article since it is semi-protected, but I do feel that the information is a bit biased. It really only mentions evidence against him, such as the missing suit, Baker's blood being found in the limousine, the fact that he had recently bought a knife, etc. But it neglects to mention that basically every witness said that Lewis was in the limo screaming at his friends to get inside: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/remembering-the-ray-lewis-controversy/
Also, there was a very good chance that the judge would have thrown out the case had Lewis not taken the plea deal: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2000-06-07/news/0006070296_1_lewis-oakley-cognac/2
And, perhaps most importantly, this page says "No other suspects have been arrested for the crime." This sentence implies the crime remains unsolved. The fact is, it is solved. A jury found that Sweeting and Oakley had killed the two men in self defense: http://www.artclu.com/crew/bfoley/lawscope/index.cfm?L1=news&story=10&pg=1
By almost all witness accounts, Ray Lewis saw a fight break out and immediately ran for his limo because he didn't want to risk his NFL career. He desperately tried to get his entourage to come into the car with him, but he was largely unsuccessful, and Sweeting and Oakley ended up killing the two people in self defense, although they didn't seem too ashamed of it. He told them to be silent, deny everything, etc., and when questioned, he did nothing but lie to the police because he didn't want to admit any culpability. The reason why Ray Lewis' suit was missing is because it was probably covered in blood, thanks to Sweeting and Oakley, you know, killing guys, and Lewis tried to hide the evidence. Same explanation for why Baker's blood was in Lewis' limo. But still, only one witness will say he saw Lewis actively involved in the fight, and the witness is an admitted con artist who is later imprisoned (see Grantland article). Please include some of these facts, or at least emphasize that Sweeting and Oakley were found not guilty by self defense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.135.100.105 ( talk) 01:06, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/history/mvp/sbxxxv Super_Bowl_XXXV National_Football_League_Defensive_Player_of_the_Year_AwardLewis, the Super Bowl MVP, recorded 3 tackles, 2 assists, and 4 pass defenses. Not necessarily the most impressive line for the NFL defensive player of the year, but he was effective, in on nearly every play. The entire season, the defense of the Ravens dominated, and Lewis even told Shannon Sharpe in an interview, ‘Give us 10 points, the game is over’(nfl.com). He was referring to his offense, knowing that if you gave their defense the slightest bit of leeway, the game was over. After the game, Lewis repeatedly praised his teammates, stating how he wouldn’t be the player that he was without them.

The intro is written in a very inflammatory way implying he is responsible for the stabbings. Consider rewording. Casual including his legal issues among his football career and accolades is just bad writing structure. It should be included in a separate section or at least separate paragraph rather than casual in the middle.
