"Winningest"

[edit]

Fyi, I tried to revert you @Conan The Librarian, but you self reverted. I wanted to note a few sources:

"Winningest" seems like an acceptable word to me. Pinging @Frank Anchor. It's just that it's typically used when discussing sports. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:45, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in my edit summary, “winningest” seems like a better option than “most successful.” The former literally means having the most wins, which is an indisputable, objective criterion. The latter is more ambiguous of a term since being successful is a lot more subjective in nature. The sentence could also be changed to something along the lines of “Brady leads all NFL quarterbacks with 251 regular season wins and 35 postseason wins.” Frank Anchor 20:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a common American term. The arguments are usually for non-American readers and MOS:COMMONALITY. —Bagumba (talk) 05:19, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks all, it's a word I particularly remember from "winningest kittens" on kittenwars, and had assumed some jokey construction - perhaps by them - that had gained Internet parlance though googling led me to similar references. I'm a bit sceptical it belongs here for the reasons stated but unlike some words with a regional constraint this one is at least easily interpretable. I would also imagine it's used elsewhere in similar articles so I won't argue it further. Conan The Librarian (talk) 10:27, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2021 Knee Cleanup

[edit]

Tom Brady led Bucs to Super Bowl 55 win despite MCL tear (tampabay.com)

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport: Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady dealt with a fully torn MCL during the 2020 season

First sentence of "2021 Season" reads as follows: "On February 11, 2021, it was revealed that Brady had knee discomfort through most of the 2020 season and would require a minor arthroscopy for a routine cleanup". In the months after that initial report, it was revealed by the Tampa Bay Times and echoed by Ian Rapaport that Tom played the prior season on a torn MCL. I think this could be a beneficial clarification of this situation. Chgreene1 (talk) 17:10, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 22 August 2024

[edit]

The Tom Brady page used to list one of his more impressive records: Most touchdowns thrown to different players: 98. With at least a hundred available sources to be referenced. And then it was suspiciously removed, and prevented from being added again. This encompasses the problem with Wikipedia and why I could never donate; where who has control over certain pages is arbitrary and restrictions prevent the website from being a useful source of information, due to certain items being suspiciously removed by these random gatekeepers. Get your shit together. 2601:194:100:BB0:4812:F24B:253F:4211 (talk) 11:31, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
