Talk:Darren McFadden

:According to who? Such a claim of notability should be cited, especially since such a future claim of potential flirts with the guideline that WP is not a crystal ball. --mtz206 03:29, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: An IP keeps adding that his nickname is Run D-M-C, I'm from Little Rock and have followed his career quite closely and I don't believe this to be true.  Most people in Arkansas refer to Darren as "D-mac" Broooooooce (talk) 03:07, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Now, let's not be uncivil. However, we should just state his nickname(s) in the lead, just like LaDanian Tomlinson and LJ. RC-0722 361.0/1 04:07, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Chris, no no no, I've heard it before, I just don't think it is used nearly as much as "D-Mac" ;)  Broooooooce (talk) 04:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

text: (ec) Hey! Problem fixed! BTW, Chris, saying that other people live under a rock isn't exactly civil. I've never heard it, and I don't live under a rock. RC-0722 361.0/1 04:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well if you lived in Arkansas and followed college football, then I'd say you were living under one.►Chris NelsonHolla! 04:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you have it all wrong. I'm a hobbit, so I live under a hill, not under a rock. :P RC-0722 361.0/1 04:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

text: It may be a local thing.  I talked to a few friends and asked them "What is Darren McFadden's nickname" and all responded with "d-mac".  While I've heard run dmc used quite a bit, it's not nearly as predominant around my area and I can say with a pretty good amount of certainty that the "run dmc" nickname came into common usage later on in his collegiate career.

replies: text: Well Chris, it would except I go to an all boys school. Getting back on track, I've heard both used around my area. RC-0722 361.0/1 04:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Just added links to McFadden's College Football Hall of Fame profile (https://footballfoundation.org/hof_search.aspx?hof=2439) in the infobox and external links section, but both are pointing to a different URL: https://footballfoundation.org/hof_search.aspx?fixid=2439.   any idea what's going on here? Thanks, Jweiss11 (talk) 17:14, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Jweiss11, the site changed all of its ids about a year ago so I had some code to trap any ids that were outside of the valid range.  with a new class of 2019, the range of valid ids increased, but the code wasn't updated.  I have updated the code, but will probably remove the url trap, assuming that things are relatively stable now. Frietjes (talk) 17:45, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Frietjes, thank you! Jweiss11 (talk) 17:59, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  no problem, and I have removed the numeric range check so we should not need to update it next year. Frietjes (talk) 18:02, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
