" gonna go through and rewrite the entire athletics portion of his life, properly sourcing it this time around.    

 ==Reorganization== 
 I am working on some general reorganization, especially of the portions currently listed under the broad category of ""Legal"". I believe these can be properly separated as falling into the categories of Criminal and Financial matters, which will help us move toward consolidation of unnecessary details as they appear to be progressing toward resolutions. This is mostly moving of existing content, with very little if any substantive change.    

 ==Financial troubles== 
 I think at this point a lot of the details which are in various sections listed by major creditor can and should be condensed and summarized without losing the overall content. I see a few items in the bankruptcy papers which should be added, but bottom line, this section can end up a lot briefer. I will begin working on that unless anyone feels otherwise, and if so, please elaborate here on the Talk page. I am also trying to keep up with the developments in this regard (i.e. bankruptcy case, fraud claims against 3rd parties, etc.) and will try to keep those portions as current, balanced, and accurate as possible. Glad to respond to comments, thoughts, volunteers to collaborate on all this work, etc.

 == link to courtroom sketch == 
 the 'link to external content' that purports to link to a courtroom sketch of vick actually links to a picture of someone (presumably a court officer) pushing a cart of file boxes.....  could someone fix this?     
 :It was a courtroom sketch of vick at one point, but CNN must have gotten mixed up in their image filing management, because it still links to the same image, the image has just changed. I removed it for now.    

 == PICTURE == 
 ITD BE NICE TO SEE A FACE INSTEAD OF STARING AT HIS ASS IMO  —Preceding unsigned comment added by     
 :Welcome to wikipedia. We have to use free-use pictures. When dealing with football articles, most free-use pictures suck. The only times they are any good if it's a picture of a player signing autographs or something, a closeup without a helmet off or something. The picture in the infobox is the best free picture available.    

 ==Jamie Foxx's defense of Vick== 
 Anybody else remember this? Foxx was on a talk show and was asked what he thought about the Michael Vick dog fighting thing, and Foxx said something to the effect of how in his neighborhood when he was a kid, people picked on/tortured dogs all that time and it was ""normal"", basically trying to rationalize Vick's behavior. I cannot possibly be the only person who remembers this.    

 == Edit request == 
 {{editsemiprotected}} 
 Under ""Suspension by the NFL""  

 It should include, 
 ""There is currently a petition to Commissioner Roger Goodell which asks Commissioner Goodell to reinstate Michael Vick to the NFL at ."" 

 : Let me run this by another editor before I commit the change.. not sure about the link at the end. — I'm   

 ::  Well I can't find anyone at the moment, so I'm going to add it but without the link on the end for now. Have a read of WP:EL regarding external links. —
