| I know you had one already, but I thought you deserved another (in a different colour). This is for all the work you do on American football articles. It's very much appreciated. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:21, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kudos to a fellow {{nowrap}} user.[1] —Bagumba (talk) 11:26, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Bringingthewood. I'm looking for people to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:27, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, restricted to RfC participants only. Bad bird. —Bagumba (talk) 07:03, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think they want to block him, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:15, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- He's about to be blocked. I tried to report him, but someone else already did it. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:17, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
GONE BABY!! Now that was awesome!!!! Bringingthewood (talk) 05:16, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- He should have been reported yesterday. I was just praying that this 2007 Dell wouldn't freeze up on me. Glad you got to see the movie! :):):) Thanks for trying to get that report in. I almost deleted the good messages with the bad, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- lol lol ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:23, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure why I would do that, but if that sock says so, then it must be true. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 02:43, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This IP is allowed to remove the warning on their own talk page per WP:TPO. Removal is acknowledgement that the person read it. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi @EvergreenFir Funny thing is that I saw they reverted your warning, so I tried to help. Only because in the past I've seen those types of warnings were reverted. No good deed goes unpunished (That's me!). I knew that I would see a red bell light up, lol ... that's why I stopped after two reverts. Thanks for your message and good luck throwing out future trash. ;) Regards, - Bringingthewood (talk) 22:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- No offense intended at all. I just wanted to let you know the IP's actions were technically allowed, even if kinda crappy. I totally understand why you reverted too. :) EvergreenFir (talk) 04:11, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes, this is consensus —Bagumba (talk) 00:41, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I see you prefer visual over written communication.[2] lol—Bagumba (talk) 05:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bringingthewood I agree, I live in Morris Park but yes, Regis was from Van Nest. I don't know why MP always took ownership of Regis. I've contributed to the Van Nest page significantly over the years. Good to meet you. TheBronxNYC (talk) 04:31, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose some people wouldn't know what's a Super Bowl.[3]—Bagumba (talk) 02:20, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bagumba Super Bowl? Ohhhh yeah, that's when they crown The Iditarod champion. @@ Bringingthewood (talk) 19:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate your contributions around here. May we make all of this better one edit at a time. Red Director (talk) 23:21, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No issue if you want to assume Lasley is no longer in the job market. But his losing citizenship needs an RS. Otherwise, there's Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Football League/Archive 24 § Former American football players.—Bagumba (talk) 10:41, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose it's one of those "standards", but doesn't a subsection "Statistics" under "College" already imply that they are college stats?[4] And why NFL bios have college stats as a subsection under "College", but NFL stats in its own high-level section (e.g. Peyton Manning). Feel free to ignore.—Bagumba (talk) 04:34, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Ignore @Bagumba. Not since I removed links from the photos. ;) I always felt like people needed a seeing eye dog when they came here. I agree, stats under college meant college stats. I'm all for doing one less thing. But like I always do .. when I see 100 pages one way, I just go along. Should we continue to change collegiate to college? Because if I remove college completely, YOU KNOW someone will eventually find me, lol. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:43, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bagumba Had to mention this, I just now found a player that backed my original thought. When I add American, I tend to forget to add professional also. Then I thought, if they played college ball .. is professional correct? Just now I came across Ron Tilton. Isn't he like all the other professionals? Bringingthewood (talk) 04:59, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I think Dirtlawyer1 used to put "college and professional football" if they didn't have a very long pro career or something. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:02, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @WikiOriginal-9 I thought it was him. What I didn't want to hear .. 'if not a long career'. That leads to me reading .. which leads to me leaving, lol. Sorry to say, I make everything a job. Good news: Can't get fired, if you don't get paid .. only blocked. :/ John. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:08, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- lol ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- College = professional. No, these are amateuer student-athletes. Haha. MOS:ROLEBIO says:
The lead sentence should describe the person as they are commonly described by reliable sources. I think that's usually their highest level. Sure there can be excepions, but the drive-by editors want cookie-cutter conformity. —Bagumba (talk) 05:12, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bagumba College = professional also means Professional = John's happy. Thanks for that. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:18, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- "Collegiate" can have its place depending on context, but if it's "collegiate football" vs "college football", stick with the shorter one (WP:FORMAL). —Bagumba (talk) 05:22, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bagumba Sorry for the delay, old computer. I see blue lights going round in my sleep! Okay, shorter when I see it, that's easy enough. Here's to an uneventful week. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:00, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I don't like reverting you but it happens sometimes. If you ever see any mistakes I make, feel free to pay me back, lol. Thanks. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:34, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @WikiOriginal-9 HA! You would not believe how much I wanted to stay away from that one. I just couldn't, lol. I checked the infobox and this, http://www.arenafan.com/players/3929/, which stated WR only on top. Now I know about AFL positions, thanks for the tidbit. Btw, you don't make mistakes .. I just pretend that I know things. @@ - John. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:26, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't waste your breath, I just scrolled down that page and saw his defensive stats. God forbid LB was put on top also. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:29, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Lol. Arenafan hasn't been working for me for some reason? Maybe I need to upgrade to Windows Vista. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 01:24, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @WikiOriginal-9 ROFL!! Sorry, I was going to call the paramedics, the pain due to laughing so hard. That was a good one. The reverts that bother me is when I remove something from an editor that was one before the last good edit. It looks like I disagreed with everyone. I did that to you also. You may want to revert a few more, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:34, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @WikiOriginal-9 Thanks for the American addition to German-born. If I see a military born player, even though assuming gets ME in trouble, I could go that route. Should I amend Tody Smith? Not sure if there's an age limit for when they come to the U.S. or even become a citizen. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:52, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- If they're just military born, they're not really German. The Schwedes guy was actually from Germany. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:57, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @WikiOriginal-9 I was thinking the same thing. (Oh yes, you were born there ... but you're really not one of us). Weird s***. Now I see, homework had to be done at that page. Honestly, I thought you were going to drop by there anyway .. but just to remove the dash, lol. Maybe I'll just stick with the country I know about. Besides, that American to Gridiron football is starting to annoy me. But that's for another day. Bringingthewood (talk) 03:06, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
... that Tim Layana was a baseball? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:38, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @WikiOriginal-9. And a very round one at that! Thanks, John. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:45, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @WikiOriginal-9: Now I caught some flak for my "former American" take, but this really is extreme —Bagumba (talk) 02:06, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Wow, that IP thought "American" meant American League. At least he's not a baseball anymore. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:15, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @WikiOriginal-9 Yeah, the "baseball" seemed inadvertent from the "National" and other mess [5] (something I'm sure I've done similarly somewhere ha) —Bagumba (talk) 02:29, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- ... that Granville Liggins used to be a football but is now a human? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:56, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bagumba: ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:57, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Poor Granny. —Bagumba (talk) 18:39, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got us a wild IP on the talk page lol Red Director (talk) 01:01, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- You can say that again @Red Director. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:03, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some IPs really want Garrett off the Browns lol Red Director (talk) 02:40, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Red Director Ha! I can't blame them. I wouldn't mind if he stood home until Watt retires .. but that's just me. ;) -- Thanks for always looking out. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:30, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed that you're the same Bringingthewood from Answers.com. I was a supervisor on there as well. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:46, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @TornadoLGS Wow. I would say it's a small world, but this is a big place, lol. You've been here for quite a long time I see. I always wondered if someone would drop by one day. Were we doing that at the same time? You may have used a different username, I only remember some that I was in constant contact with. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:58, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I think we were. I remember you from the forum at the very least. I went by Stormish on that site. TornadoLGS (talk) 03:00, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @TornadoLGS I'll be a .. I looked at your name and user page and tried to think - storm related weather -. I do remember your name! You had to get a WikiAnniversary or two from me over the years. I do miss the trash can icon ... a lot easier to get rid of a vandal back then. I appreciate you dropping me a line. Bringingthewood (talk) 03:18, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
