Regarding the 10 of 11 playoff losses thing on Kansas City Chiefs, it seems really ridiculous to cherry pick stats like that and completely ignore part of the playoff run that happened that same season. That would be like if i said the Steelers had a 3-8 playoff record including and since the loss in Super Bowl XLV. Either include the whole postseason run or none of it. I believe it says between 1993 and 2017 correct? That includes the other playoff games then. If youre wondering, I’m not a chiefs fan saying this. I just think it doesn’t make sense to ignore part of a playoff run that happened the same season to further a choker narrative. Eg224 ( talk) 19:34, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- Edit: someone added the afc championship to the heading mentioning it as the beginning of the streak, so, I think it’s fine now.

- @ Eg224: I'm a Chiefs fan, why would I cherry pick a stat that is negative to my team? I added the AFC Championship thing to make it more clear of the point that was being made. I also added that "10/11" comment myself several years ago. The comment was added to better paint an image of the franchise turnaround, not necessarily to call them choke artists, even if I did use that term myself off of Wikipedia multiple times during that stretch in frustration.--Rockchalk 7 17 19:50, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

On 26 December 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Ed Budde, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. PFHLai ( talk) 20:03, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
Hey I am not understanding on what you mean on that revert you made just now? (And is there a way we can fix that up to make it work?) Hoopstercat ( talk) 03:36, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- @
Hoopstercat: Just because something is sourced, doesn't mean it should be included on Wikipedia. This place isn't just for including random bits of information. The playoffs page is for the playoffs and what happens, not listing every possible scenario. There is nothing to fix, just plain simple it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. If people want to know clinching scenarios they can google it.--Rockchalk

- Still at least need a note at this moment to include several teams that have clinched division/playoff berths but not sure on seeds (or otherwise we need to include the seed possibilities that those teams fit since seeding is related to playoffs and those teams being left out doesn’t make sense) Hoopstercat ( talk) 03:55, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm revisiting the Miami Hurricanes football page and wanted to ask: Have you seen an example of a page split into sub-pages as you propose? I looked at a few that are of equal or even greater length, such as Notre Dame Irish football, and am not seeing that. I do see main and further references under headings, but that already exists on the Miami page. I think it's the history you believe should be broken up, and that's where I'm wondering if you have seen any examples of what you're proposing. TheGables ( talk) 22:25, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry about the misplacement.
TheGables (
talk) 23:47, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- All good. Notre Dame definitely has a history page that is linked in the main page. See History of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football. That's an example. That page goes more in depth. It's not the greatest example because the history section of the main page is still quite lengthy, but it has a history page.--Rockchalk 7 17 23:49, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

- HA! I was all ready to send a note during regulation ... and then I even got nervous. Back-to-back definitely is! I really didn't want a third team tied with six Super Bowls. But now I think that team from K.C. is going to make my head hurt in the near future. Hmmm. You're welcome and enjoy it once again. :) Bringingthewood ( talk) 05:27, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I haven't had hardly negative feedback regarding improving references until your summary, which I believe is fair from your end. Just so happened to be a lot of information added to Chiefs players that was unsourced by other editors. I know KC teams are your interest so it would show up more for you on your Watchlists probably and I apologize. I was under the assumption that anything in the main body and record lists need a reliable source. I figured I would improve almost everything I could on players that had older information and incomplete citations so I could leave them alone for good until new information comes about. I personally could not find anything on the Butker item I placed a template on, and I spent a little bit of time looking for something. I can quit adding that "cn" template on stuff I cannot find but I thought that was protocol. I will improve the KC articles in moderation so you are not flooded. Thanks for all you do. Red Director ( talk) 16:46, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Red Director: I don't actually use watchlist. It just makes it harder to keep an eye on edits on some of these pages when I saw 10 prove it edits. I don't mind you fixing citations at all, it is important. It's just the amount of those edits get a little crazy sometimes. I do appreciate though. I don't you want you feel like I'm criticizing the work you do either, it is great and necessary.--Rockchalk

Rockchalk717:That is what I gathered. It can be a great task sometimes when I see a page have around 10-20 items that need verification or to be rewritten. Each item requires me to open the news link and get the information and that can be rather timely. The process is why I like some media better than others because some sites can autofill easily. When I see that my task is going to be greater on a page than others, I usually check the last version to make sure it is an acceptable version before I add content. Also, if a page has not been edited in a while, it kinds of gives me a personal green light to start major improvements. If I see a task is going to be repetitive, I do try to group those together to have 2-5 references taken care of in the same edit. Some of those take me while to get the information and that is why I do it that way. I knew from the Super Bowl edits that users made that I could use the same reference on that I would be splitting that task up into two editing periods. The last edit I usually do in the process is to get the date formats to match throughout. That edit is probably the cheesiest of them all unless there are many that need it. If it is going to be a small change, I try to group it in another edit. Congrats on your Super Bowl! You have a special situation there in KC and I can't wait to see where it goes.

- @ Red Director: Thanks for the explanation on what you do. Thank you It definitely is and I'm excited to see what else the future holds. It just blows my mind after going 22 years in between playoff wins they've won 3 Super Bowls in 5 years. Mahomes definitely is on a path that could dethrone Brady.--Rockchalk 7 17 17:48, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello Rockchalk717!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

There's no context to the year he was released from the Chiefs other than the Super Bowl. For the sake of making it chronologically clear, should the year 2024 *not* be mentioned anywhere? February 28 without the year 2024 mentioned isn't clear. ParXivalRPT ( talk) 23:27, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

I’m not sure what or how to report the user MKP2020. They continue to change all the current year college basketball team pages in the ranking section. The AP poll is including a final year after the tournament pole but he continues to change the pages back if there is not one. I’ve asked them twice on their talk page to stop changing the pages back, but they have not responded nor have they stopped making the edits which are wrong.
I’m not sure what to do? Smitty Smitty ( talk) 00:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
