The Succession Box is kind of useless. Who would have thought that the 1964 team came after the 1963 and before the 1965! What does it add?--BillFlis 03:13, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Writing that someone was "Pittsburgh through and through" may work in a sports column, but in an encyclopedia article. "Shockwaves" doesn't really work either. Swatson1978 17:42, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

The Dan Rooney link in the early biography incorrectly leads to Art's son not his father. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.75.99.220 (talk) 04:34, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Political Affiliation?
I've heard both that he was a staunch Republican and a Democrat. Given his personality, I very much doubt he would have changed his political affiliations. Anyone know for sure? Should this be included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.49.34.200 (talk) 03:19, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Why the heck does it say "Head Coaching Record" in the sidebar?
Is that right? I thought Chuck Noll coached all those teams. (24.131.65.135 (talk) 05:28, 2 February 2013 (UTC))

W&J College
A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article from 1988 (at the time of his death) entitled "Steelers' Art Rooney in retrospect" states that "Rooney later attended Georgetown and Duquesne universities and Washington & Jefferson College." I was unable to find any other source indicating that Rooney had attended Washington & Jefferson College. That didn't appear in any of his obituaries, nor could I find it in Rooney: A Sporting Life. According to a college archivist at Washington & Jefferson, "I checked our Archives and could not find any record of his attendance here." It's unclear where the author of the 1988 article got his information, but I can't find confirmation anywhere.--GrapedApe (talk) 12:13, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
