Awards and Highlights section

Latest comment: 6 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Is the Awards and Highlights section in the infobox supposed to be organized in any particular way? Chronologically perhaps? It seems exceedingly random for Russell’s article and I believe they’re usually organized chronologically. CarlStrokes (talk) 20:42, 31 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

There's guidance at WP:NFLINFOBOX. —Bagumba (talk) 02:40, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Infobox image

Latest comment: 1 month ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Wanted to get an opinion on this, I think it would be best if Wilson had an image of him with the Seahawks in the Infobox, as he spent the overwhelming part of his career with them. Thoughts? WhyIsThisSoHard575483838 (talk) 21:20, 1 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

For living persons I would prefer having a more recent image that best matches how they look currently, as long as the image is high quality. MOS:IMAGEREL appears to support this as well, Images should look like what they are meant to illustrate, and a more recent image will look the most like how the subject currently does. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 00:34, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
