Independent Professional Football Leagues of America
According to my research the association was also reported by UPI that was published nationwide and was titled "4 Grid Leagues Form Nationwide Group" (without mentioning the Midwest Professional Football League). At first I was sure that the "Texas League" was a different name for the Southwestern Football League, but now I think that it was something to it (maybe a proposed league or something). It worth looking it up, but at least keep in as an anecdote --Ccui123 (talk) 22:29, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ccui123: I chose to include the May 1972 article from Des Moines Tribune because the wire article from the AP in March 1972 said it was still waiting for one or two more teams to join. I assume they all did by May 1972. I'll add back Texas League, maybe it's different. Eagles24/7(C)23:00, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I just remembered something, Arthur Arkush from the Pro Football Weekly was involved with the Trans-American Football League and was later tried to established new football league in the region. Maybe "the Texas League" was related to his attempts (but it may be also me trying to fit a square peg into a round hole...).--Ccui123 (talk) 12:16, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Mattdaviesfsic was:
See comment from Clarityfiend. Information in the infobox also needs a little sourcing work, but other than that, pretty good.

Always learning
Hi Eagles247,
When I saw that Fantasyfootball04 was blocked, I thought I was next, lol.
I was like ... man that person really helped out with adding U.S.
Thank God for a 'show block details' tab. I actually thanked MC for helping with just that last month, not knowing a block was
coming.
@Bringingthewood: You've been doing a good job around here from everything I've seen! With some of these users it's not a matter of whether they have good intentions, but if they are competent enough to be an editor here. With the user in question, their enthusiasm, effort, and good intentions are all there, but they have proven they are not capable of learning from mistakes or guidance given. Thanks for helping out with WP:NFL! Eagles24/7(C)17:33, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I get you 100%, it definitely looked that way. I was really hoping with thanks, maybe a non-combative word etc., would have helped him. Oh well, only time will tell.
One thing I wanted to say, truthfully, and this was from back when I was with Answers.com, I may come across willing to bend over backwards for people, nice guy I guess, but I'm not ***-kissing by any means. I'm friends with another admin. (hope he considers me a friend) and I've always respected authority. It's not me looking for brownie points. When I like people, I like people.
I really appreciate you responding to my message and please, like I've said to others here, if you see something that I'm doing that ruffles feathers, please let me know right away. I'm bad at stopping the ball from rolling. ;)
@Bringingthewood: No worries, I'll be sure to point you in the right direction if needed! A quick tip if you're looking for one, when responding to a message on a talk page, be sure to use indentation. Wikipedia:Indentation has a good explainer for you, and I've fixed yours above. Thanks! Eagles24/7(C)00:19, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I always forget that one. Wish I had the 'preview edit' button back again. Wikipedia must have changed things in April and I have a relic here. At least I could see the mess I make before making it. Sorry about that. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:25, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Local administrators can now add new links to the bottom of the site Tools menu without using JavaScript. Documentation is available on MediaWiki. (T6086)
Would you be opposed to restoring the NFL starting QB navbox but removing the current starters and just keeping the team links like the CFL one? Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:37, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you to both of you. That user was stressing me lol. I could not get a gage on the situation because the editing style was so bizarre and they were persistant. Red Director (talk) 13:29, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Users wishing to permanently leave may now request "vanishing" via Special:GlobalVanishRequest. Processed requests will result in the user being renamed, their recovery email being removed, and their account being globally locked.
Following an RfC, there is a new criterion for speedy deletion: C4, which applies to unused maintenance categories, such as empty dated maintenance categories for dates in the past.
The arbitration case Historical Elections is currently open. Proposed decision is expected by 3 September 2024 for this case.
Miscellaneous
Editors can now enter into good article review circles, an alternative for informal quid pro quo arrangements, to have a GAN reviewed in return for reviewing a different editor's nomination.
@Joeykai: I was not the closer of that discussion, but I do not believe a navbox with only three blue links that also does not have an article about the topic is worth restoring. My view is that is still fails WP:NAVBOX points 2, 3, 4, and 5. Eagles24/7(C)14:56, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiOriginal-9: I've reverted the recent edit, blocked the user as a sockpuppet, and semi-protected the page for three months. I'm not sure why they keep removing the image, but unless a good reason is provided it's just disruptive editing. Let me know if/when they return. Thanks!

Following a discussion, the speedy deletion reason "File pages without a corresponding file" has been moved from criterion G8 to F2. This does not change what can be speedily deleted.
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Mass deletions done with the Nuke tool now have the 'Nuke' tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. T366068
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
Since 2015, IPs (probably the same person) keep adding unsourced stuff to Ron Lopez. The main thing they like adding is that he was with the Chargers in the summer of 1999. I couldn't find a source for that. They've also said he was in NFL Europe but I didn't see anything for that either. They're very persistent. When I came back from my multi-year editing hiatus, I had to remove more junk they added while I was gone, lol. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 15:24, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiOriginal-9: I blocked the recent IP for 31 hours for persistent additions of unsourced content. I assume it's likely the subject editing their own page given how infrequently the article is edited, their fringe notability, and the specificity of their edits. There's not enough disruption there to protect the article, but let me know if/when they return. Thanks! Eagles24/7(C)20:13, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
