Talk:Reggie Ball

message: Hopefully, Reggie will make it through his first game before the next vandal arrives. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Excaliburhorn (talk • contribs) 
:I am assuming you can't really put anything in Reggie's bio that wouldn't constitute vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.207.61.98 (talk • contribs) 
::It's okay to state facts; for example, the fact that he lost to UGA all four years of his career is a fact and can be backed up with a citation, statistics, etc. However, the statement that "People don't like him" is difficult to prove, and thus is a bit on the vandalism side. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 21:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Disavian or any other user mind if we lock this site to non-users?  A few IP's have contributed but for the most part, they simply deface this article.  Let me know your thoughts. Excaliburhorn 22:35, 15 Feb. 2007 (UTC)
:It's generally difficult to get an article permanently semiprotected. If it was possible, I'd say go for it, but you'll have a hard time convincing them that there's a high enough level of vandalism on this page to justify it. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 04:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

*1b:needs a better lead, it's too short. His prominence today (if any) is missing from the article.
*1c:again, the lead.
*1d:TDs
*2b:the sources would look better using templates such as .
*3a:this is too short for my liking. Really, I should have more information about the player's life before football, and after. It seems to be focused solely on the fact that he's a football player.
----
Bottom line: this article is very well written. I am going to put it on hold because I want the editors to take a look at the article and try to make it more broad in the information that it is conveying, especially his early life and now. Well done. └Jared┘┌talk┐  17:26, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Okay, I tried to expand the lead to give a broader view of his contributions, what do you think? I understand that you're looking for information on him outside of his college/professional NFL career, but such information doesn't really exist. His official profile tells us he's a Management major, and we know that he's got a low GPA (declared academically ineligible to play in this year's bowl game). Otherwise... the information just isn't out there, AFAIK. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 21:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, so here's what I'm going to do. I'm done some searching and found Marc Pugh, an article which may be shorter than this, but yet still has GA status. That was really my problem, was that there wasn't enough info in this article as there should have been. Otherwise, it is well written and I'm now going to promote it. Thank you for doing all the things I requested. └Jared┘┌talk┐  20:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
