Talk:2001 NFL season

message: The part in bold is either totally incorrect, or I am just misunderstanding it. "In recognition of this, when NBC began airing Sunday Night Football in 2006, there would be no game initially scheduled for weeks 11–17 – a game initially scheduled in the afternoon would be moved to the primetime slot, without stripping any teams of a primetime appearance. This way of "flexible scheduling" would not be utilized at all in 2007, and since 2008, it is only utilized in the final week."  
It was actually used 3 times in 2007, 3 times, in 2008, 2 times in 2009, etc.  The Wikipedia article about it even states otherwise, and so does the NFL website.

thread_title:  Flex Scheduling 

message: I find "In the wake of the September 11 attacks, a number of games were re-scheduled."  Further up, I see the change which I am familiar with: week 2 games were shifted to January, and playoff games were postponed a week to accommodate making up missed regular-season week. Is that the full extent of the resulting schedule changes?
A rejected alternative was to cancel the games scheduled for week 2.  That would have taken 1 home game away from about half the teams in the league  (15 of 31 teams), and would have resulted in unequal number of games played: full slate of 16 games for New Orleans (should be San Diego?) (was having bye in week 2), and 15 games for each of the other teams. Carlm0404 (talk) 02:35, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:William Washington Larsen

message: In trying to find a picture for William Washington Larsen (subsequently found on Wikimedia Commons) I came upon his bio at bioguide.congress.gov. Both the biography here and at the government website have him being born in Hagan, Georgia in 1871. Everything I've read over the years has Hagan being formed in 1890, so this can't be right; either that or the history books I own are wrong. I don't know what to do with this discrepancy, but figured it needed to be mentioned here. Reb (talk) 00:17, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Cambridgeshire County Cricket Club

message: Barclay's World of Cricket agrees with the article in saying that Cambridgeshire first took part in the MKinor Counties Champtionship in 1898. However CricketArchive has Cambridgeshire fixtures from 1895 that it claims were in the MC Championship. See for example  JH (talk page) 18:12, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A further search on CricketArchive suggests that they played only 2 matches in 1895, home and away against Norfolk. That would presumably have been too few for them to have been included in the Championship, but perhaps the fixtures counted as Championship matches for their opponents.

Talk:Eric Thiman

message: I notice that  has added the COI template to this page, presumably because  identified himself as the archivist of the Eric Thiman Collection here. I would tend to assume that an archivist is akin to a librarian (in fact the collection may be part of a library's holdings) and thus not the same as, say, a publicist for or family member of Eric Thiman who would definitely have a conflict of interest. This is my first time running into such a situation, and I'm curious what other editors' opinions on the matter are. 
It would also be helpful if Guyscottturner would clarify the status of the collection (i.e. whether it is held at a library, museum, university or similar institution, or simply a private collection) as well as whether being archivist for the collection is the whole of his position or merely a part of larger curatorial or librarian duties, and whether the archivist positon is paid or volunteer.
Thanks in advance to all who participate in this discussion. —GrammarFascist contribstalk 15:20, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: For clarity: The Eric Thiman Collection is part of the Southwell Minster Choir Library. The collection is available for anyone who wishes to view it. I am a freelance musician and composer, and I earn a little of my income from being the archivist of the Thiman collection. It is part of this role to spread the word about his music and to encourage performance of his work. However I do not benefit from his royalties, as all these go to the Royal Academy of Music. I cannot see that there would be any conflict of interest unless I were the RAM or one of Thiman's publishers. I hope this clarifies matters.

It seems odd to list what it is not ... it is as if the article, which presumably did once (see above) make those claims, is now arguing with itself. Why bother? It makes for a strange readI don't care about all the things it is not, like being coloured red and green stripes and being full of caramel sauce and bathing unicorns; we should just say what it is unless there is an interesting RS which makes a point of some disputed claim about its dimensions etc. Otherwise, it seems like we have the waterway equivalent of a straw man, whatever that might be.

message: Is the list of more or less unknown musicians at the start of the article really necessary? Nearly half of the names are in red and many others are far from big names. I don't say that they should be removed, but i can not see such a comprehensive and meaningless list deserving a place in the very start of the article. It does no job describing who this person is. I am however not the person to pick out the most relevant people and possibly move the rest to a small chapter later down in the article. Rubendw (talk)
I am a person able to pick out the best known people here and demote some missing red links to just names.  I did that as part of a rewrite for tone and structure too.  There are still improvement to be made before this can be free of cleanup tags, but next I'm removing a few of the flags on this since I consider those issues resolved. I am least happy with the first reference to the band Big Noize.  I believe the information in that part of the article is fully correct.  But I didn't find full confirmation of the 2009 line-up of the band yet, and MySpace is not a well structured source for digging history like that out of there.
