A few things about me: I have been an editor here for 18 years (first edit), although I only recorded 29 edits between 2011 and 2015. I am also an administrator, which means I have a few extra clean-up tools. I passed my RFA in 2008, back when adminship was truly no big deal. I was an admin from January 2008 to June 2009. I resigned the tools for seven years during a period of mostly minimal editing, but then had them restored in May 2016 when I started editing consistently again. I am bold when it comes to making administrative actions. That said, I will never revert another admin who has undone one of my administrative actions. I mainly edit articles within the Green Bay Packers WikiProject, although I do edit some random articles from time to time.

"We want the ball and we're going to score!"

The phrase is not the name of the game. If you can find a way to better way to rephrase it, then do so. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:11, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I restored the original version as per WP:BRD. Happy to elaborate more tomorrow when I have a few minutes. That said, i feel like your issue is more about the name of the article. Maybe you would be interested in putting forward a WP:RM? I sympathize with you as it took me a while to figure out what the article should be named and how it should read per policy. I really dont want to fight over this and am happy to discuss further or have a larger WP discussion about it. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 04:37, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

The phrase is the proper name of the article, since that is what people remember (though there should not be quotes - see Category:Quotations and particularly Category:Quotations from sports). So really, this should be a quotation article, not a game one. And, as I have just noticed, A drive into deep left field by Castellanos uses pretty much the exact same phrasing as I did.

Hi Clarityfiend, I am happy to move this to another venue, say WP:NFL to gather additional input or find some consensus. I appreciated you coming to my talk page after WP:BRD, but did not appreciate you reverting without even giving me an opportunity to respond. Typically, as the discussion occurs, the original version remains until we find some consensus.

I appreciate your point about quotations. I will likely move the article to remove them whenever this is all said and done. That said, the game itself is notable because of what Hasselbeck said. The NFL ranked it as one of the greatest games in NFL history [1]. The other thought I had was to go with the standard naming for these games: 2004 NFC Wild Card playoff game (Seattle–Green Bay). But that isn't the WP:COMMONNAME for the game, the play, the statement, etc.

Look, I really, really don't want to battle on this and am happy to get some consensus from other editors, likely at WP:NFL. Are you ok with stepping back for a second and moving the discussion there? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and moved it to WT:NFL. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:24, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
