With the Jets articles? I am a PSL holder, for all the good that does anyone and more to the point, have over 20 FAs. The articles are well referenced, but probably could use a bit of cutting and editing.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 14:43, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Can you talk care of the publishers as in the FAC commentary? I will go through the prose with a fine tooth comb tomorrow. If that is not enough, we will have to get someone outside. Also, I'm going to doublecheck the "Year in Review" refs against the facts they are said to support, just in case. You might also want to doublecheck.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 03:44, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
Can you add the archiveurl for the sources I added? Thinks are not going so well, but I've asked Brianboulton to look in on the article to see if he thinks it is salvageable as a FA candidate, if so, he will lend a hand, if not, we may pull it and send it to peer review for more advice before submitting it again.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 19:22, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Ah, a nice new talk page to despoil. AaronY has left a number of suggestions at FAC. I will be working on them as time permits, if you get a chance, anything you can do would be a Good Thing. A couple of reviewers are querying the use of the Jets web site, I don't know if the objection will get legs, so to speak, but if you would like to weigh in on that question, it might be a good thing.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 14:25, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Just saying thanks for cleaning up the Jets page after that dude got done messing things up. Some people just don't understand the confusion behind the first four super bowls. He did the same thing to the Colts and the Packers page and I fully expect an attempt at the Chiefs and Raiders pages as well. So again, thanks for the help. Zoro 1234 17:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Please do not delete RS-supported text, with its refs. Please also do not make contentious edits without using an edit summary. Such edits are disruptive. Many thanks. I will watch this page, in the event that you have any comments, but I should also point out that this could well constitute edit-warring.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 01:03, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello there! Wehwalt pointed me your way, he suggested you as someone with the skillset to help me out on an article I've been working on for a while, 1962 National League tie-breaker series. It's up at PR and some editors have voiced concerns that it's written somewhat casually (like journalism, not an encyclopedia). Any chance you could give it a once over and perhaps some advice? Thanks! Staxringold talk contribs 00:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Although one or another Jet seems constantly in the news, I do not see anything yet that needs to be added to the article, nor likely to be until the labor dispute is settled.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 14:25, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Will try to take a look at it tonight. If I don't get to do it, tomorrow looks shaky because of real-life commitments. Hopefully that won't be an issue. Giants2008 ( 27 and counting) 21:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Do you think this addition to Greg McElroy should stay in the article? Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:11, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
It strikes me that many Jets/Titans programs, yearbooks, and similar published before 1978 were likely not copyrighted. Once the NFL got savvy, yes, but I'd bet good money that most of the AFL stuff does not contain a copyright notice (possibly even Super Bowl III program!) as, if there is no copyright notice in a pre-1978 US published-work, it's PD (the images contained inside may not be, though, that's trickier). I may be passing near Canton in mid August, it may be a good opportunity to consult the HoF archives.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 22:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
I ebayed a program from the 1967 game against Miami (home), the good news is that it is free of copyright, the bad news is it's by Leroy Nieman. May raise some eyebrows.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 18:42, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Nnamdi Asomugha is currently a free agent. He does not play for the Oakland Raiders any more. He'll be on a new team shortly, but the listing for him is even wrong for the interim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.216.190.98 ( talk) 18:53, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
I'll work with you on the prose, it's not bad, and I think you'll be able to pick up what I'm getting at and need less comments next time. I think that will satisfy Malleus. I was thinking, btw, that we could nominate History for September 12. We can't get September 11 for obvious reasons and the game starts after midnight Universal Time, which Wikipedia uses. Since you've never had an article main page, you could nominate at WP:TFA. A preformatted blurb to submit is here but feel free to alter it (ignore the date, I had thought of the Super Bowl anniversary). It should be one point for date relevance, one point for rookie TFA writer (you), but to get the second point, you have to be the nominator. Slots are presently open.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 12:16, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
I've started a background section here, mostly from paper sources. I bought Jeff Davis's bio of Rozelle as an online book. Feel free to whatever, it is not fully sourced or written yet. My concept is Background, Game play (all the way to the end), Network and reaction (might have to be split depending on length, and Aftermath. Cut out most of the present article. The Jets were pretty upset about the officiating and were eventually fined by Rozelle, which had nothing to do with the television. Michaels and Dr. Andrews were pounding on the official's locker room, Walt Michaels was shooting off his mouth, and they called the reporters in midweek to show game film of "blown" calls by the officials. The Jets stayed in Calif as they were playing San Diego the following week; well mostly: Namath headed to Vegas.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 15:26, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
I shall need you to modify the image descriptions as I upload game program images that I screenshot off eBay so they have an archive url. The eBay links will rot in a few months. The first is here. I think we shall have a well illustrated article by the time it runs main page.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 10:04, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
if they win it all this year, then I say end it with 2011. Or have 60-69, 69-2011 and 2011 on. I dont' know how you deal with the baby article, but it must have been done before. There is no way to write an article about the Heidi without using a tremendous amount of jargon. We will simply have to take a position that History and Ryan are Football 101, people can wind up there without much football knowledge, but that can't be true of Heidi Game. It's a Football 201 article, or possibly 401. However, we shall go to pains to write the TV portion of the article in a very accessible way, to cater for the people interested in that aspect of things. How it happened that The Simpsons might start a few minutes late if the game goes into overtime.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 22:37, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
I'll send you those articles later on today, but here's something interesting: this-- Wehwalt ( talk) 19:04, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't particularly like citing to the Canton records, but it is the only source we have on drive lengths.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 20:24, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
I really don't think the newspaper publisher field is very helpful, and I've taken it out. I don't think Newsday was published by Cablevision in 1968 anyway. If you feel strongly about it, I'll yield, but I really don't think it aids the reader. Another thing, news article titles should not be in caps.
I'm in Oakland and spent a couple of hours at the Library. As you might expect, the coverage in the Oakland papers was rather more restrained. I learn to my surprise that the game was blacked out in Oakland anyway! I think we might as well go ahead and nom it.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 00:10, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
FYI, the Giants played their last game at Giants Stadium on December 27, 2009. The Jets played their last game there on January 3, 2010 for a playoff game. Richiekim ( talk) 17:20, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
I looked it over, it desperately needs an aftereffects or something section where we can put stuff like how it helped the AFL going into the merger, plus the Jets getting applauded in Buffalo. Sorry for the "reminder" crack. Wasn't thinking.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 22:34, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

And Can I Ask?
What Are Some Notable Things That Happened In Your Life, Both Positive and NEGATIVE? O and Make Sure Highlight the Negative Very Clear. Or Does Your Life Consist Of Getting On the Internet To Gossip About Other Professionals Because You Obviously Do Not Have One. No Person Is Perfect And Never Will Be, But All That Happens Does Not Need To Be Announced. With Both Arrest There Were No Conviction But The Media Does Not State That; Only That It Happened Right!!! Also, they did not write about how the dirty bouncer was never punched in-fact shoved away because he tried to rush him with no probable cause-thats why there was not one single medical report- thinking that he might get lucky and get a pay day, trying to make it look like a similar altercation that happened with Braylon Edwards. Crabs in a Bucket Always Trying To Get A Piece. Always two sides to every story, what you heard and then the truth!! How about find out the Truth from the main source, Not a Lie from a dumb article, and POST THAT!!!!

Good Response and Good sense of humor:
O and excuse me I did not know the writer 2.0 was God. Just frustrating that people, like yourself, are quick to throw posts and articles up and not even seek such positives notables that have taken place or even such to balance the negative "One Sided Story" about the young man or really any individual. To top it off it does not the help with knowing we live in such a judgmental world.
Let me note you on something said, " Oh and since you brought it up, I do, oddly enough, have a life and a very blessed one as a matter of fact; the short version of this is: no I'm not just here for funsies but I don't eat, sleep, breath and crap Wikipedia if that is what you're inferring, nice try though, commendable effort. "
Lol you say that but delete an edit every hour of the day.
Contradictory right!
My response to you was not an attack; It was a honest question " Asking you if your had any importance to even take the time out the day to google or look up". Was a simple question.
God Bless You Sir!!! — Preceding

I'm slowly starting to gear up on the Super Bowl article, distracted by real life a bit. As this is an Oakland week, there is every possibility of an article about the old days with jets/Raiders. I'll run some Google News searches and keep an eye on the papers I read.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 14:24, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Hey, thanks again for the help with the NFLPA article. I wanted to touch base with you regarding User_talk:66.234.33.8. I always assume good faith when someone is making edits on Wikipedia, but I don't think the speed and editing process of this user is the most beneficial to the community. Without scaring him/her off, I think we need to nudge him/her in the right direction. For example, it would be very helpful for him/her to create a user name. I appreciate most of the edits he or she has made, and I think it would be helpful if we both tried to help him/her out with the Wikipedia process and guidelines. Thoughts? -- TravisBernard ( talk) 17:14, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
The Jets have been trying to get me to go back to Foxboro for years, since I'm 3-0 there (though twice at the old stadium) (on the flip side, I'm 0-2 in Miami). My condolences. Just as a thought, don't you think Al Davis would be an interesting article? Not for immediate use, I'd probably want to go back to Canton, which I don't see happening until after Thanksgiving. I certainly have no affection for the Raiders, but I always liked Davis.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 09:00, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
I agree it had to go. An additional concern is when you start throwing Al Davis's quarterback raids into the mix, it's kinda irrelevant. None of the quarterbacks Davis targeted (at least prominently) played in that game. I'm actually thinking I am going to have to rewrite and condense that section. It doesn't feel like the right place to tell that story. I really need to make another trip to Canton and I doubt if I can go until the winter, which is no time to go to Ohio.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 21:53, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
I recently added the quality parameters to {{ WikiProject New York Jets}}, but most Jet-related articles aren't tagged with the project template. Are you good at using AWB for a big task like that? – Muboshgu ( talk) 19:02, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Please be aware of Neutral point of view when referencing or editing Wikipedia pages as you did with Rex Ryan. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. You may also reference NPOV Dispute if you have futher confusion.

What do you want me to do with the papers I got on the Sack Exchange members and so forth? It is too much to scan. I've been so busy with the McKinley stuff I haven't had time to go through the box of papers I brought back from Canton. Thanks for the Hobart support.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 15:22, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
We should also discuss language to add in case the season ends for the Jets today. Something like "Ryan and the Jets entered the 2011 season with the slogan "Bring it Home", promising the first home playoff game since 2002. Instead, the Jets missed the playoffs with a @-* record."-- Wehwalt ( talk) 01:22, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.
While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.
If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review.

Good Morning! I made a small change to the edit you reverted on MetLife Stadium. Somewhere in the shuffle, ALL of the Wrestlemania information was removed. I added it back into "Other Events" and left it off of the sidebar under where it sayd "Tenants". That seems to be the way it was before someone messed with it too much. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 12:47, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
The article appears structurally similar to what it was the last time it was at FAC. I see the number of citations to his autobiography has been cut considerably, which is a positive; see if it can be reduced even further. I'll see if I can take care of some of the picky prose comments I'd usually make (hopefully tomorrow), and have a few pieces of general advice. First, the lead could be expanded to three paragraphs considering the size of the article. Second, the 2011 description is shorter than the ones for the other seasons; a particular concern of mine is that the Super Bowl predictions are mentioned in passing, but not elaborated on in any way. Third, I'd be interested to know if anyone in the media has commented on how Ryan's predictions etc. affect his players, whether giving them confidence or weighting them down. Finally, I'm not enthusiastic about the foot fetish stuff being in here. It's tabloid-like content, and I don't see how this has much relevance now. I'd rather see something on how his weight impacted his early career, as that is more important to his career. Anyway, I wish you luck with the article and hope it does well in its second FAC, if you decide to go there. Keep an eye out for my edits and please fix anything I mess up.

Not sure why you reverted my edit. Is there something I'm missing out on? The years and the teams do not line up one bit. Every decent coach article has the line breaks respaced so the teams and years line up, so I fixed it. --

I just wanted to let you know, when a player with a single-digit # is on the roster,   has to be placed in front of the #. RevanFan ( talk) 04:28, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
If you think it is ready, I'll nom it in both our names. It doesn't have to have a peer review, and I am past master of adjusting articles while at FAC.--

Can you talk care of the publishers as in the FAC commentary? I will go through the prose with a fine tooth comb tomorrow. If that is not enough, we will have to get someone outside. Also, I'm going to doublecheck the "Year in Review" refs against the facts they are said to support, just in case. You might also want to doublecheck.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 03:44, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
Can you add the archiveurl for the sources I added? Thinks are not going so well, but I've asked Brianboulton to look in on the article to see if he thinks it is salvageable as a FA candidate, if so, he will lend a hand, if not, we may pull it and send it to peer review for more advice before submitting it again.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 19:22, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Ah, a nice new talk page to despoil. AaronY has left a number of suggestions at FAC. I will be working on them as time permits, if you get a chance, anything you can do would be a Good Thing. A couple of reviewers are querying the use of the Jets web site, I don't know if the objection will get legs, so to speak, but if you would like to weigh in on that question, it might be a good thing.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 14:25, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Well, we made it. Finally! Usually my articles are a few days of sustained effort and then ride the momentum the rest of the way. This one took all your work, and then both of us. For months. Whew!-- Wehwalt ( talk) 23:47, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

I saw you left me a note and then deleted it. Do you still need help with that? I am sorry, I was only online very briefly the last three days.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 16:06, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Just saying thanks for cleaning up the Jets page after that dude got done messing things up. Some people just don't understand the confusion behind the first four super bowls. He did the same thing to the Colts and the Packers page and I fully expect an attempt at the Chiefs and Raiders pages as well. So again, thanks for the help. Zoro 1234 17:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Please do not delete RS-supported text, with its refs. Please also do not make contentious edits without using an edit summary. Such edits are disruptive. Many thanks. I will watch this page, in the event that you have any comments, but I should also point out that this could well constitute edit-warring.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 01:03, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello there! Wehwalt pointed me your way, he suggested you as someone with the skillset to help me out on an article I've been working on for a while, 1962 National League tie-breaker series. It's up at PR and some editors have voiced concerns that it's written somewhat casually (like journalism, not an encyclopedia). Any chance you could give it a once over and perhaps some advice? Thanks! Staxringold talk contribs 00:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Although one or another Jet seems constantly in the news, I do not see anything yet that needs to be added to the article, nor likely to be until the labor dispute is settled.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 14:25, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Will try to take a look at it tonight. If I don't get to do it, tomorrow looks shaky because of real-life commitments. Hopefully that won't be an issue. Giants2008 ( 27 and counting) 21:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Do you think this addition to Greg McElroy should stay in the article? Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:11, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
It strikes me that many Jets/Titans programs, yearbooks, and similar published before 1978 were likely not copyrighted. Once the NFL got savvy, yes, but I'd bet good money that most of the AFL stuff does not contain a copyright notice (possibly even Super Bowl III program!) as, if there is no copyright notice in a pre-1978 US published-work, it's PD (the images contained inside may not be, though, that's trickier). I may be passing near Canton in mid August, it may be a good opportunity to consult the HoF archives.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 22:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
I ebayed a program from the 1967 game against Miami (home), the good news is that it is free of copyright, the bad news is it's by Leroy Nieman. May raise some eyebrows.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 18:42, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Nnamdi Asomugha is currently a free agent. He does not play for the Oakland Raiders any more. He'll be on a new team shortly, but the listing for him is even wrong for the interim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.216.190.98 ( talk) 18:53, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
I'll work with you on the prose, it's not bad, and I think you'll be able to pick up what I'm getting at and need less comments next time. I think that will satisfy Malleus. I was thinking, btw, that we could nominate History for September 12. We can't get September 11 for obvious reasons and the game starts after midnight Universal Time, which Wikipedia uses. Since you've never had an article main page, you could nominate at WP:TFA. A preformatted blurb to submit is here but feel free to alter it (ignore the date, I had thought of the Super Bowl anniversary). It should be one point for date relevance, one point for rookie TFA writer (you), but to get the second point, you have to be the nominator. Slots are presently open.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 12:16, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
I've started a background section here, mostly from paper sources. I bought Jeff Davis's bio of Rozelle as an online book. Feel free to whatever, it is not fully sourced or written yet. My concept is Background, Game play (all the way to the end), Network and reaction (might have to be split depending on length, and Aftermath. Cut out most of the present article. The Jets were pretty upset about the officiating and were eventually fined by Rozelle, which had nothing to do with the television. Michaels and Dr. Andrews were pounding on the official's locker room, Walt Michaels was shooting off his mouth, and they called the reporters in midweek to show game film of "blown" calls by the officials. The Jets stayed in Calif as they were playing San Diego the following week; well mostly: Namath headed to Vegas.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 15:26, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
I shall need you to modify the image descriptions as I upload game program images that I screenshot off eBay so they have an archive url. The eBay links will rot in a few months. The first is here. I think we shall have a well illustrated article by the time it runs main page.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 10:04, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
if they win it all this year, then I say end it with 2011. Or have 60-69, 69-2011 and 2011 on. I dont' know how you deal with the baby article, but it must have been done before. There is no way to write an article about the Heidi without using a tremendous amount of jargon. We will simply have to take a position that History and Ryan are Football 101, people can wind up there without much football knowledge, but that can't be true of Heidi Game. It's a Football 201 article, or possibly 401. However, we shall go to pains to write the TV portion of the article in a very accessible way, to cater for the people interested in that aspect of things. How it happened that The Simpsons might start a few minutes late if the game goes into overtime.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 22:37, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't particularly like citing to the Canton records, but it is the only source we have on drive lengths.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 20:24, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
I really don't think the newspaper publisher field is very helpful, and I've taken it out. I don't think Newsday was published by Cablevision in 1968 anyway. If you feel strongly about it, I'll yield, but I really don't think it aids the reader. Another thing, news article titles should not be in caps.
I'm in Oakland and spent a couple of hours at the Library. As you might expect, the coverage in the Oakland papers was rather more restrained. I learn to my surprise that the game was blacked out in Oakland anyway! I think we might as well go ahead and nom it.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 00:10, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
FYI, the Giants played their last game at Giants Stadium on December 27, 2009. The Jets played their last game there on January 3, 2010 for a playoff game. Richiekim ( talk) 17:20, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
I looked it over, it desperately needs an aftereffects or something section where we can put stuff like how it helped the AFL going into the merger, plus the Jets getting applauded in Buffalo. Sorry for the "reminder" crack. Wasn't thinking.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 22:34, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

And Can I Ask?
What Are Some Notable Things That Happened In Your Life, Both Positive and NEGATIVE? O and Make Sure Highlight the Negative Very Clear. Or Does Your Life Consist Of Getting On the Internet To Gossip About Other Professionals Because You Obviously Do Not Have One. No Person Is Perfect And Never Will Be, But All That Happens Does Not Need To Be Announced. With Both Arrest There Were No Conviction But The Media Does Not State That; Only That It Happened Right!!! Also, they did not write about how the dirty bouncer was never punched in-fact shoved away because he tried to rush him with no probable cause-thats why there was not one single medical report- thinking that he might get lucky and get a pay day, trying to make it look like a similar altercation that happened with Braylon Edwards. Crabs in a Bucket Always Trying To Get A Piece. Always two sides to every story, what you heard and then the truth!! How about find out the Truth from the main source, Not a Lie from a dumb article, and POST THAT!!!!

Good Response and Good sense of humor:
O and excuse me I did not know the writer 2.0 was God. Just frustrating that people, like yourself, are quick to throw posts and articles up and not even seek such positives notables that have taken place or even such to balance the negative "One Sided Story" about the young man or really any individual. To top it off it does not the help with knowing we live in such a judgmental world.
Let me note you on something said, " Oh and since you brought it up, I do, oddly enough, have a life and a very blessed one as a matter of fact; the short version of this is: no I'm not just here for funsies but I don't eat, sleep, breath and crap Wikipedia if that is what you're inferring, nice try though, commendable effort. "
Lol you say that but delete an edit every hour of the day.
Contradictory right!
My response to you was not an attack; It was a honest question " Asking you if your had any importance to even take the time out the day to google or look up". Was a simple question.
God Bless You Sir!!! — Preceding

Hey, we spoke earlier on the WP:NFL talk page. I finished my first draft of the article, which can be found here. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- TravisBernard ( talk) 22:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
I'm slowly starting to gear up on the Super Bowl article, distracted by real life a bit. As this is an Oakland week, there is every possibility of an article about the old days with jets/Raiders. I'll run some Google News searches and keep an eye on the papers I read.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 14:24, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Hey, thanks again for the help with the NFLPA article. I wanted to touch base with you regarding User_talk:66.234.33.8. I always assume good faith when someone is making edits on Wikipedia, but I don't think the speed and editing process of this user is the most beneficial to the community. Without scaring him/her off, I think we need to nudge him/her in the right direction. For example, it would be very helpful for him/her to create a user name. I appreciate most of the edits he or she has made, and I think it would be helpful if we both tried to help him/her out with the Wikipedia process and guidelines. Thoughts? -- TravisBernard ( talk) 17:14, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
The Jets have been trying to get me to go back to Foxboro for years, since I'm 3-0 there (though twice at the old stadium) (on the flip side, I'm 0-2 in Miami). My condolences. Just as a thought, don't you think Al Davis would be an interesting article? Not for immediate use, I'd probably want to go back to Canton, which I don't see happening until after Thanksgiving. I certainly have no affection for the Raiders, but I always liked Davis.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 09:00, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
I agree it had to go. An additional concern is when you start throwing Al Davis's quarterback raids into the mix, it's kinda irrelevant. None of the quarterbacks Davis targeted (at least prominently) played in that game. I'm actually thinking I am going to have to rewrite and condense that section. It doesn't feel like the right place to tell that story. I really need to make another trip to Canton and I doubt if I can go until the winter, which is no time to go to Ohio.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 21:53, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
I recently added the quality parameters to {{ WikiProject New York Jets}}, but most Jet-related articles aren't tagged with the project template. Are you good at using AWB for a big task like that? – Muboshgu ( talk) 19:02, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Please be aware of Neutral point of view when referencing or editing Wikipedia pages as you did with Rex Ryan. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. You may also reference NPOV Dispute if you have futher confusion.

What do you want me to do with the papers I got on the Sack Exchange members and so forth? It is too much to scan.

We should also discuss language to add in case the season ends for the Jets today. Something like "Ryan and the Jets entered the 2011 season with the slogan "Bring it Home", promising the first home playoff game since 2002. Instead, the Jets missed the playoffs with a @-* record."-- Wehwalt ( talk) 01:22, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.
While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.
If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:58, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Good Morning! I made a small change to the edit you reverted on MetLife Stadium. Somewhere in the shuffle, ALL of the Wrestlemania information was removed. I added it back into "Other Events" and left it off of the sidebar under where it sayd "Tenants". That seems to be the way it was before someone messed with it too much. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 12:47, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
The article appears structurally similar to what it was the last time it was at FAC. I see the number of citations to his autobiography has been cut considerably, which is a positive; see if it can be reduced even further. I'll see if I can take care of some of the picky prose comments I'd usually make (hopefully tomorrow), and have a few pieces of general advice. First, the lead could be expanded to three paragraphs considering the size of the article. Second, the 2011 description is shorter than the ones for the other seasons; a particular concern of mine is that the Super Bowl predictions are mentioned in passing, but not elaborated on in any way. Third, I'd be interested to know if anyone in the media has commented on how Ryan's predictions etc. affect his players, whether giving them confidence or weighting them down. Finally, I'm not enthusiastic about the foot fetish stuff being in here. It's tabloid-like content, and I don't see how this has much relevance now. I'd rather see something on how his weight impacted his early career, as that is more important to his career. Anyway, I wish you luck with the article and hope it does well in its second FAC, if you decide to go there. Keep an eye out for my edits and please fix anything I mess up.
