How we will see unregistered usersHi! You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help. If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter. We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January. Thank you. /Johan (WMF) 18:14, 4 January 2022 (UTC) A Bill Parcells Coaching TreeGood evening. I know it's been awhile since we last talked, but do you still have any plans to design a Bill Parcells coaching tree for the Coaching tree page? Let me know if you'd be able to eventually do so. Thank you for your time. Hope to hear back from you soon. Mr. Brain (talk) 01:42, 26 January 2022 (UTC) Your draft article, Draft:Raymond W. Kirkbride Hello, Eagles247.

Bryan ScottI see that you have repeatedly reverted edits on Bryan Scotts career achievements section of the article. those achievements should be displayed as they are relevant, and effect the publics view on Scotts career. Please refrain from reverting these, or provide an explanation for why you have been doing so. Bears247 (talk) 20:45, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
Sorry about the late response. No Scott nor any player is paying me to edit pages. I can understand how this would be a problem but that is not the case here. Bears247 (talk) 23:49, 23 March 2022 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Alabama PittsHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Alabama Pitts you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. Listing players as "former"Hye, I typically mainly edit baseball wiki pages the majority of the time but do edit football players as well. I seem to be having a disagreement with a certain editor named Bears247. The typical rule of thumb is no activity within two years as after that the odds of a player turning up are very slim. His argument is that one year is the use which is not at all enough time plenty of players after getting cut sit a year out and then turn up somewhere. I believe two years since the last known activity is the most effective way which is what we use on baseball articles as well please let me know your thoughts. Kingryan227 (Decrees • Acts) 22:42, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
I understand yeah I can see a one year argument, with baseball articles we typically do two years cause there is a lot of factors in play. A player could just choose to sit the year out and get stronger and come back, an injury like Johnathan Cyprien was waived with an injury designation he could have just taken this last season off to recover. I'm a firm believer that after two years the odds are very very slim but one year is far too common of a player not appearing in a season then turns up in the CFL or in the preseason or another league etc. I believe one year is just too soon because even after two years you see people turn back up somewhere as a rare occasion. I just believe that two years makes everyone's life easier as if a player turns back up after a year of not playing we don't have to go back delete all that info again and seems like wikipedia has some false info. The two year rule has worked out very well in the baseball articles as 95% of the ones I see that get marked as former after 2 years stay that way where as a lot of people come back in another league within a year of being out. Kingryan227 (Decrees • Acts) 22:54, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
I think that we should just have a set year whether we come to an agreement in the middle of like 1.5 years of nothing is fair but how you just mentioned Cypriens twitter that should be added in on his page saying like "As of March 2022, his official Twitter account states that he has moved on to different business ventures" something like that indicates that the player has indeed retired but if there is nothing on social media or any activity I just think one year is too short of a time to jump the gun on listing a player as retired. I think 1.5 to 2 years is definitely long enough to assume if they haven't turned up and haven't officially announced or hinted on social media that they are done. For example Adam Conley a baseball player his wife announced his retirement for him on a blog that wasn't picked up on by any rumor pages or news sources till the other day. I think if someone wants to list the person as former there should be a set time frame I believe 1.5 to 2 years is fair to just assume but any less than that needs to have some sort of source from an official statement or social media page from the actual player or a family member per say.

My thing was pretty much saying that Berry has not played in almost 2 years The fact that this is the only time where I have had this problem with a user regarding “former” vs “free agent” listing, makes me believe that the 1 year mark is still a fine amount of time. Majority of the time in football, after 1 year of no reported interest, that player does not return to playing football. There are a fair amount of times when the opposite is true, but that is far less. The change from former to free agent is not that difficult, and I think that the way we currently have it works. Bears247 (talk) 23:44, 15 March 2022 (UTC) It's not that it is a difficult edit by any means but like I said there are a lot of players that don't play for a season and then come back and turn up somewhere not going to list them all obviously but it's not an uncommon thing. When a player gets released or become a free agent you never know if they played in their last game a lot of players just wait for the right opportunity. But to mark a 25 year old as retired because he didn't play in a season doesn't make that much sense to me. I did make a post in WT:NFL if you guys would like to join in on the conversation have another editor who responded so it is a topic that is worth discussing. I do want to reiterate that I'm not discrediting anyones work at all I just believe that 1 year isn't a fair amount of time to write someone off you know? Kingryan227 (Decrees • Acts) 00:39, 16 March 2022 (UTC) i understand what your saying 100% but all i’m saying is that most of the time in the nfl at least, after 1 year of inactivity that player does not play again. sure there are times where players take a year off. but there are also times that players have returned after 2 or 3 years away. should we wait 3 years to call a player former? I think 1 year is a fine time because it goes with what is typical for most players. I’m open for a discussion about this but what i’ve heard just is not enough for me to say that this needs to be changed Bears247 (talk) 17:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Alabama PittsThe article Alabama Pitts you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold Your GA nomination of Alabama PittsThe article Alabama Pitts you nominated as a good article has passed Eric BerryI was having a discussion with another user who was repeatedly changing Eric Berry from “former” to “free agent”. Berry has not played in 3 years and should be referred to as a former player. Unfortunately I was banned earlier today for making these changes back, but I was just wondering if this is a change you would be willing to make as it has been more than enough time to call him a former player. Bears247 (talk) 02:24, 23 March 2022 (UTC) You can also see on the discussion we had on his talk page that he has no intention of making much needed improvements to the page Bears247 (talk) 02:34, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
hi eagles247. I just have a quick question still regarding everything that has happened with the Eric Berry page. I believe that I was given an unjust ban and was wondering if there is any way I can appeal this. I attempted to have a discussion with the steelers user about this on his talk page but he just was not cooperating. Obviously I can’t do anything about this since i’m banned from editing the Berry page, but i was just going to ask if you could review everything that has happened there because I believe that my original edits were in the right.

Recent spate of non-notable USFL player articlesI know you have been PRODing and taking a good number these non-notable USFL player articles. I have been draftifying the other ones in hopes that the editor will understand policy and try to work on them there. I've been trying to communicate and provide links to Karate LemonLime but he either is unable or does not want to communicate. Do you think it would help for you to leave a message given you're an admin? I'm starting to get at wits end and I feel like its now bordering on WP:CIR and WP:COMMUNICATE territory.

theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 02:45, 10 April 2022 (UTC) pass rusher positionsI had a question regarding the listing of players between Defensive end and Outside linebacker. Those two are very interchangeable and are entirely based on the defensive scheme of the team. In cases where coaching and personnel changes, and they announce what type of defense they will be running (3-4 vs 4-3), wouldn’t it be safe to change pass rush positions accordingly? I changed many of those prior to my original edit ban, which may have been part of the reason. But the Bears have announced they are switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3, so players like robert quinn and others would change from outside linebacker to defensive end. This also goes for other teams so I was just wondering if it would be acceptable to make this change at this time. Bears247 (talk) 00:28, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
Potential Mdelnegro12 SockThe this edit history is very similar (mostly focused on USFL and Fan Controlled Football League). At the least, the editor is editing disruptively and adding photos that are clear copyvios. Best, GPL93 (talk) 16:15, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

KuppHello. On that revert to Cooper Kupp, you had wiped out my recent changes as well. Was that intentional? If not, can you restore mine? Thanks. Red Director (talk) 16:22, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Jamal PettigrewHi. I just noticed you're deletion of Jamal Pettigrew under G5. I don't think that would apply in this case, as I thought I saw someone other than the sock make "substantial edits" to the article. Let me know if I'm wrong. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:53, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
