ArmchairGM NFL Editing Project

Posted by SSreporters
686 days ago


Yes, SSR has been working on the encyclopedia.

I am requesting help on the following:


1. Updating statistics/bios. I am awful as far as editing the table, but it would be in our best interest to add the 2007 NFL stats for the year. Don't forget the biography, as some people such as....I don't know, David Tyree have been a part of some history, so I need your help as far as expanding the biographies.

2. Player profile media. Many notable players like Eli Manning did not have many videos or images. I've worked on that, and you should use his section as an example of what the other PPM's should look like.

  • Too import a video, just click add videos, then you can search for videos on Youtube after you choose what you want to use as keywords in your search. Put a checkmark to the left of the video that is deemed appropriate. Once you are done with looking at all of the videos, click import videos on the right side of your monitor.
  • Search for images on Flickr by clicking add pictures. Use your keywords, and if nothing relevant shows up, there is a 2nd option. Save a photo of the player you are working on to your computer, then upload it on the upload images section.


Click here if you want to help out. Or, if you're like me, you just type in the player's name after the slash on the URL of your internet browser to see what you can do.


I appreciate your help, as we try to improve AGM's ever growing encyclopedia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I would love to help out, but I'm going to work on the MLB project. Baseball season is coming up in less than 2 months. We've got around 8 months until the 2008-2009 NFL season starts.

And if I waited.....no one would notice, and Yakob wouldn't be kicking my ass in the points contest.:(

and SS, the only reason he is beating everyone is because his edits inculde bracketing a number one at a time... he does this fifty times on one page... go look at the history of his edits; its either adding videos (which my 3 year old cousin can do) or adding a single bracket to a date... just look at the history of one page he claims to have edited

Its not though... its unfair that the rest of us are working hard to get stuff done and he throws a [[ on there one and gets just as much credit as the person who wrote the whole thing... only he does this fifty times on a page (section by section) when he could just do it all at once (edit the whole page at the same time)

no, its not sad... you are doing it the right way, and that deserves credit... what if everyone went around doing what Yakob does? Nothing would ever get done... his edits are useless and a majority of his points should be astricked

I think I had one comment about Yakob when I first came here...it went like:

"I hope Yakob isn't in a debating class."

Student: I believe we should put every Oregonian in a pot of hot oil.

Yakob: Ya, I agree.

For me, I truly like a user who does well throughout the whole week, who doesn't like to get easy points. I guess that's why I kinda cut back every time in order for someone else to win. I believe that I have to feel like I did more than everyone else on the site. Unfortunately, when I think I do, I get Roblefko's projects to increase everyone's points... Corey's win in the weekly report was probably one of the best examples of a true AGMer of the Week.

Similarly, I have stacks of snooker that is my priority on here. It's the 2008 Welsh Open next week (see, no page (yet!)), and the 2008 Malta Cup concludes today. And the bios won't update themselves.

A lot of people here already have their own projects -- mine are, for example, MLB history, the New York Mets page, and the 2008 NFL Draft (and the prospects therein). I think it's almost easier to find outsiders to help!

but adding videos or adding categories is (at the very least) productive to the site... linking [[ date to a page that has no real content doesn't really help because someone has to add content to that page, so that if someone clicks the link, it will take them somewhere useful
