An accident.

Hey Rock. I was trying to update Antonio Brown’s status since it is March 13, and the wiki page messed up. It looked fine on the preview page, so I don’t know what happened. Anyways, I think you should undo the edit, maybe that could fix it. Can you help? Thanks! ProClasher97 (talk) 08:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

@ProClasher97: Your edit has been reverted because the trade to the Raiders is not official until 4 pm eastern time today. All players involved in transactions in the news the last couple of days should not have their pages updated until then.--Rockchalk717 15:47, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Comments on Le'Veon Bell

Hi Rockchalk717, I'm confused that you say that "all contracts and trades are official now" per the NFL. I'm not sure how things have "always been done", but I am following the guidelines from WP:SPORTSTRANS, which state to not change the player as a member of a team until official reports by league officials. Is there a precedent for automatically "approving" changes to NFL infoboxes after 4pm EDT? Natg 19 (talk) 21:22, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

@Natg 19: Just to prevent disruptive editing from IPs and inexperienced registered editors, we usually go ahead and change them because at this point, the contracts and trades are done, it’s just a matter of actually signing the contract.--Rockchalk717 21:36, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Okay, I just don't want us to get ahead of ourselves, and have a DeAndre Jordan situation (where a player reneges on his verbal agreement). Natg 19 (talk) 21:43, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

@Natg 19: I feel ya. Those instances are rare. We just cross that bridge when we get them.--Rockchalk717 21:45, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
