Notes

[edit]
  • Added Junior college football coaches in the United States, Navy, Jets scouts, Pats scouts, af2 coaches, and Arena Football League executives cats  Done
  • Ref 2 was dead. I added an archived version.  Done
  • Changed "arena" in the coaching record part of the infobox to AFL because the af2 is arena football also.  Done
  • I don't think the ACFL was really THE "NFL's minor league at the time". The Atlantic Coast Football League article just says they had working agreements.  Done
    • Removed that part.
  • "He also did film work as a defensive assistant and was assistant linebackers coach as well as assistant defensive backs coach from 1979 to 1981, before being fired in December 1981" I don't see that in either of the clippings?  Done
    • It seems to be verified by part two of both sources.
  • "Buffington was hired by Babe Parilli as defensive coordinator and head scout of the New England Steamrollers, of the newly formed Arena Football League (AFL), in 1988.[2][5][10] He followed Parilli to the Denver Dynamite in 1989, staying as defensive coordinator" I don't see that stuff in ref 2?  Done
  • "eventual champion Tampa Bay Storm" Add ArenaBowl before champion  Done
    • Added,
  • "He was fired following the year" The source is for 1993 so he was fired the same year. Just change it to he was fired after the season.  Done
    • Changed.
  • I know the AF2 article is titled in uppercase but that is incorrect. That is like if iPhone was called IPhone. I've been meaning to change that for years if you check the talk page. Manual of Style editors keep moving it back. The league was always called af2. Suggest changing it to the "the af2's New Haven Ninjas"  Done
    • Changed.
  • "after which he retired" that source doesn't say he retired unless part of that source is missing due to webarchive problems because there are some other notes I had about that source above.  Done
    • Removed.
  • "Buffington worked with comedian" I think you need to add more context that it was a summer job from the source  Done
    • Mentioned summer job.
  • I'm going to check the infobox to make sure everything matches after we get the problems with ref 2 figured out.  Done

I think that's all. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:32, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
