message: Hello All,
Thanks for your assistance on this matter. I will be posting entries per section for your approval before I go back again and edit. This is new entry (Below) to be included in Professional references. My initial dispute with the original moderator-aside from being blocked for his misinterpretation--- was that the ORIGINAL entry from last year that was deleted was copyrighted material and unsourced. I have since edited, re-edited and re-written in original words Routt's 2010 accomplishments.Thanks in advance.Please specify what is wrong is written text as every accolade stated is verifiable via Stanford Routt's NFL.com page (stats) and reputable Wall Street Journal. Thank you again and your assistance is appreciated.
===2010===
Routt was thrust back into the starting lineup in 2010 after being tendered at the highest level (1st and 3rd round level) by the Raiders as a restricted free agent. He had his best statistical year to date with 55 tackles, one tackle-for-loss, 15 pass deflections, one forced fumble, two interceptions, and one touchdown.  Statistically, this was Routt’s best year as he was matched up against NFL top receivers Chief’s, Dwayne Bowe and Steelers’ Mike Wallace due to Nnamdi Asomugha’s high ankle sprain that caused him to sit out several games. Routt played well against the Chiefs in Week 9 while covering Dwayne Bowe who earned 3 catches for 24 yards. The Raiders finished the season 8-8- the team’s best winning record since 2002.
According to WSJ, Routt and Asomugha finished the season as the #1 CB Tandem in the NFL. Together the two gave up an impressive 38% completion and 4 TD’s. This stat placed them above Jets CB tandem Revis and Cromartie 43% and 10 TD’s. 
Routt also finished the season with the #1 Burn Rate in The NFL and lowest QB completion (69%) and 2nd lowest  QB completion % in among all corners behind #1 Corner, Jets Darrelle Revis.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nflfacts2k2 (talk • contribs) 21:58, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The WSJ article is from the midseason, not after the season, so it says nothing about Routt finishing the season with any of these stats. I see no reference that he "played well" against the Chiefs, only the assumption that limiting Bowe to three catches is considered "playing well." Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:02, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

text: I'll add the burn rate stat to the article, but the rest is original research. Who is to say Bowe is a "great receiver"? What if those catches were crucial in the game? I still see no citation for that claim, irregardless. By the way, you keep persisting in saying I "jumped the gun" because I "misinterpreted" what you said. When you say things like "Our team is working deligently to fix the copyright issues by professionally writing in OUR words", it is difficult to misinterpret your intent.

text: And take a look at what is contained in those articles' year sections: numerous, long paragraphs. If this article separates his seasons into sections, you'll have one-paragraph sections and one-sentence sections. There's not enough content here to split the section into a few sections.

text: Common sense tells me that choppy one-sentence sections is inappropriate, and the article would look (and read) much better if this section is not divided into redundant subsections. Do you have a legitimate reason to have these subsections, besides "other articles do this" (even though they aren't good comparisons since their sections have much more content)?
