message: Was looking at the list of league records Tony holds and wondered... who has the record for the most TD receptions in a single season for a tight end?  ENDelt260 (talk) 00:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  League records 

message: Anthony Gonzalez was born on February 27, 1976 in Huntington Beach, California, a beach town nestled slightly south of busy Los Angeles. He and his older brother, Chris, were raised by their mother, Judy. She worked two jobs to support her two sons.
Tony’s last name and his skin color made most people think he was pure Hispanic. But his family roots ran much deeper. One of his grandmothers was white, and the other heralded from Jamaica. His mother’s father was part American Indian and part African-American. His other grandfather was a native of Cape Verde, located among the Portuguese islands off the African coast. Tony is part Portuguese and part White, also including some Hispanic and American Indian. His last name, Goncals, is pronounced “Gonzalez” when Americanized, when his grandfather came to the U.S. that is how it was recorded. It has been the family name ever since.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redneckangel7504 (talk • contribs) 07:08, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early Life 

message: This section is meant to highlight the fact that Gonzalez has had significant impact off of the football field as well.  His involvement in business ventures, with charities and in co-authoring a nutrition book is worthy of note.  The links included seemed appropriate as they are to the respective businesses.  In addition links to Gonzalez' social media pages were included in the external links section as Gonzalez has gained large followings on both facebook & twitter.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tg88 (talk • contribs) 00:48, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Even though in sports circles, UC Berkeley is commonly referred to as just 'Cal', is it appropriate for wiki?  Given that wiki is supposed to mirror that of an encyclopedia, isn't it appropriate to refer to the university by its appropriate name, University of California Berkeley?  
Since calling it Cal or just University of California is technically incomplete given that there are many other schools within the University of California system (UCLA, Riverside, San Francisco, Davis, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, etc.).
:It still links to the right place.►Chris NelsonHolla! 22:20, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If this were strictly a sports site, I think it would be appropriate to just leave 'Cal'.  However, since Wiki encompasses much more than that with a much broader range of readers, simply referring to Cal is misleading.  The assumption that someone will simply click the hyperlink doesn't address the information provided on the page itself.  A good example is that many pages for athletes from University of North Carolina note that its University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, since there are several UNC spread across North Carolina cities.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.48.52.241 (talk) 22:43, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
