Ways to improve ArmchairGM

17
Vote

by user The Beast

I was just thinking how the site could be better. Here are three easy suggestions to improve the site, please consider them.

1. People should edit their user pages. If people can write info about themselves, and what they like, readers can have a better understanding of their viewponits. They can maybe understand where they are coming from.

2. Users should add information about their favorite players and teams, especially the history. If you like a certain team, like the Yankees, make sure that you edit player and team info. Corleasboy has done a sweet job with the College Football stuff, lots of work, thanks!

3. Add pictures! Sometimes too much text bothers me. It seems like a text book. Pictures can make the site better. I would like to even explore the idea of creating photo galleries for players and teams.

Thats it!

1a. Keep it Fresh... people like me who read these articles (yes, some people may actually read your articles) can only take so many 'Name-a-Division Previews' or 'All-Whatever teams' in a row... or I shall be forced to mock thee!

and use your minuses sparingly! i know user steaksammich hates it when we ask why we get minuses, so give out minuses and pluses generously.

click on a player, or search for him on the search box. then, if you see his name, click it, and on the top right of the page it will say "edit".

Naming Conventions if there are Multiple People with Same Name needs to be updated. Currently the naming conventions page only tells you what to do if a player with the same name plays in different sports. Page needs to include information about what to do if two or more players with the same name play in the same sport (see Tony Armas, or the Naming conventions talk page where I also mention this need).

I forgot to include: there is also some confusion over whether to use MLB or Baseball, or football or NFL. If separating two different players playing two different sports, some convention needs to be made to use the league or the sport. I've seen both Felipe Lopez (NBA) and Felipe Lopez (baseball) (and Felipe Lopez (MLB); MLB one is now a redirect page to Felipe Lopez (baseball)). Should it be Felipe Lopez (MLB) or Felipe Lopez (baseball) - that's one of the questions that need to be addressed for the naming conventions page.

I had the same kinds of questions when I was doing pages for Heisman Trophy winners that never played in the NFL...I decided to go with football because putting NFL would give the wrong impression. Then when I was doing Bruce Smith (the Minnesota back in the 1940s), I couldn't use Bruce Smith (football) because there's obviously a more recent Bruce Smith as well so I added a general decade that included most of his career.
