Redirect

Silly question, but why if I search for Draft Bust, does this page appear, but if I search for draft bust in lowercase, I am taken to, what I would consider, the correct page? Can someone who has a little more experience with redirects have a look please, thanks. Narcosis17 (talk) 18:25, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Not a silly question at all. Looks like someone was having a little fun by redirecting that here. I've corrected it so that the upper and lower case versions redirect to the same (and more plausible) page. Thanks for calling attention to this.--JayJasper (talk) 18:38, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Stats error

There's an error in the college receiving stats. Should say 1 reception for 0 yards in 2008, 1 reception for 9 yards in 2010, 1 reception for 15 yards in 2011, for a total of 3 receptions for 24 yards and an average of 8.0. This according to http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/stats/_/id/239/baylor-bears aswell as other sports sites.

Edit request on 7 December 2012

This request is simple and completely non-substantive. The section of the article related to the 2011 season has two references to "week five" -- the second (describing the game against Iowa State) should refer to "week six" instead of "week five". I believe the reason for the error is that Baylor had a bye in week-2 of the season (which the article acknowledges). 174.55.87.144 (talk) 05:38, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Done. Thank you for helping to improve Wikipedia. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:21, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Please add "Black Jesus" to nicknames, after "RG3". Bjam19 (talk) 06:08, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

I have added a comment at the disambiguation page that the suggested nickname does not seem sufficiently established to warrant recording in an encyclopedic article, however I'll leave that discussion for those more familiar with this article. At any rate, a nickname would need to be very commonly used before it should be added to a disambiguation page, so I have removed it from there (see discussion at Talk:Black Jesus). Johnuniq (talk) 10:30, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Not done: per the above comment. The two references provided only say that one of his teammates has dubbed him with that nickname; it would need to gain comparable usage to "RG3" in order to be added to be added to the opening sentence of the article. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:25, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Please don't. Let's honor Jesus. 74.194.175.107 (talk) 16:53, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Perfect Game

The article mentions his perfect game was on Thanksgiving (against the Cowboys) but the info box says it was a week earlier against the Eagles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.172.209.92 (talk) 13:24, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm surprised there is nothing on his recent rap video. There are like 10 RS stories on it.

Colors

Did someone REALLY change the header colors in the infobox to the Redskins' team colors? In an encyclopedia? Seriously? This ain't Sports Illustrated. 74.194.175.107 (talk) 16:53, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Footnote 89 reads:

Menzie, Nicola (August 14, 2013). "GQ Cover Story Plays on Religion, But Skims Over RG3's 'Private' Faith?" . The Christian Post. Retrieved September August 14, 2013.

It has created an error. I believe all that's needed is to remove the "September" reference from before the "August" reference.

Playoff stats typo

It looks like some of the numbers for Griffin's playoff game are mixed up - passer rating should be 77.5, sacks and sack yards should be 2 and 16 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.178.242 (talk) 17:33, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

2016 season

On September 12, 2016, it was revealed that Griffin was diagnosed with a fractured coracoid bone in his right shoulder. He was placed on the injured/designated for return list.

50.29.199.144 (talk) 18:44, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

• Comment to requester: the information that he is on the injured list because of a shoulder injury is already in the article. The detail of the coracoid bone is not mentioned in your source; it perhaps unnecessarily detailed in any case (?) --Stfg (talk) 19:15, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
