Talk:Ross Tucker

Subject edited his own Wiki page
Not sure how these edits were missed until now, but two years ago the since banned "RossTucker5532" made a bunch of edits to this page to make it sound like an advertisement for his various businesses. I have removed all of these ads. 68.80.248.51 (talk) 15:20, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I am disclosing yet again that I work for Ross Tucker. Again, we have the same problem that I've had to get fixed previously. See the History of Ross Tucker Wiki page. Where "Subject changed his own page" was already added and then removed. Yes, Ross changed his own page many years ago before he understood he can't do that. Since he's been banished from Wiki. Appropriately added by Wiki users are his many years in Broadcasting, (see below), which is the segment that keeps getting removed as "Subject changed his own page for advertising purposes". It's not advertising on Wiki to list the networks and websites that the subject works, just like it's not advertising to display the NFL teams the subject has played for. He did not change this himself. He is still banned from Wiki. Please reapply his broadcasting career, which is much longer than his NFL career, and stop removing it. The last time it was removed was by user IP 73.104.48.134. I've been through this twice now, I have email relations where Wiki personnel agree with me on this issue.

In the extended content section below you will find a draft proposal of what the article will look like with the content you listed in your edit request above, combined with what is already in the article. The changes I've made include placing the information into two separate sections, one devoted to football and the other to sports broadcasting. Also, the references have been reformatted using a more complete markup. You'll need to go through the draft and decide, from your end, what goes and what stays.

A word of caution. Because Mr. Tucker's football career did not progress to a level of success that he may have envisioned for himself, I would understand if there is a strong desire to remove much of the information under the 'Football' heading. However, I strongly advise against removing too much of it. The fact is that the football section is much better referenced than the sports broadcasting section currently is. Until that section achieves a more satisfying level of references, the article as a whole depends on these older newspaper references. This is because even though they're from a local paper — the Reading Eagle — as print newspaper references they are inherently stronger than other types of sources. These should remain for as long as possible, as they ultimately guard against other editors who might claim the article as non-notable and/or wish to delete it.

As soon as you look over the content and decide what goes and what stays, I can begin placing it in the actual article space. Regards,  Spintendo  ᔦᔭ   10:54, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, sorry it took so long but the NFL playoffs are a busy time. Ross has reviewed and approved of the edit. We would like to have this as the opening statement if possible: "Ross Finch Tucker (born March 2, 1979 in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania) is a former professional American football player and current sports broadcaster. Tucker was an All-Ivy League offensive lineman at Princeton University, then played (removed “parts of”) seven seasons in the National Football League (NFL). Tucker retired as a player after suffering a serious neck injury during the 2007 season. Since then, he has worked as a sports broadcaster and entrepreneur and currently works for NBC Sports Network, Westwood One, SiriusXM NFL Radio, and hosts a number of podcasts including the Ross Tucker Football Podcast."

 * 1) Unfortunately, the 3 sources you suggested would not meet the standards for a BLP article (biography of living person). These should be reliable second and third party sources, and the subject's own website and Wikipedia are not those things.
 * 2) Please continue to search for references which confirm the following:
 * 3) The subject's leaving SI for ESPN as a columnist in September 2010 (If no sources are found, this may be kept, but it will have a citation needed tag next to it in the article.)
 * 4) The subject hosting his football & college draft podcasts (If no third party sources are found for these, it's unlikely they will make it into the article.)
 * 5) The draft as it now stands is shown below under Extended content

Draft rewrite as of 24-JAN-2018
Ross Finch Tucker (born March 2, 1979) is a former American football offensive lineman and current sports broadcaster. Tucker was an All-Ivy League offensive lineman at Princeton University, then played seven seasons in the National Football League (NFL). Tucker retired as a player after suffering a serious neck injury during the 2007 season. Since then, he has worked as a sports broadcaster, currently working for NBC Sports Network, Westwood One, and Sirius XM NFL Radio.

Football

A graduate of Princeton University, Tucker was a four-year starter on the Tigers Ivy League football squad. He started against Colgate University as a freshman at defensive end and in the offseason was moved to right guard where he became a three-year starter. Tucker was All-Ivy in 2000 and a two-time Academic All-American at Princeton. Tucker was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Washington Redskins after the 2001 NFL Draft, making the team despite a broken hand and a partially torn MCL. The next year, he started 7 games at right guard, but was waived in 2002. On October 23, 2002, he was claimed off waivers by the Dallas Cowboys. He started at left guard during the last 7 games of the season in place of an injured Larry Allen. On June 5, 2003, he was released after minicamp. On June 16, 2003, he was claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Bills and appeared in 12 games with 5 starts at right guard. In 2005, he started 9 games at left guard and 4 at center. After missing minicamps because of offseason back surgery and being limited with injuries, he was cut on September 3, 2005. On December 13, 2005, he was signed by the New England Patriots. He played in one game and was declared inactive in 3 contests. On August 8, 2006, he was traded to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a conditional 2007 draft choice (not exercised). On August 8, 2006, he was acquired by the Cleveland Browns after LeCharles Bentley tore his patella tendon. He was released on September 2. On March 8, 2007, Tucker was signed as a free agent by the Washington Redskins. He suffered a career ending neck injury that bruised his spinal cord during the preseason. On August 28, he was placed on the injured reserve list. He officially announced his retirement in March 2008. Tucker played in 42 games in his 7-year NFL career, starting 28.

Sports broadcasting

Tucker joined Sports Illustrated toward the end of the 2007 season to launch his journalism/broadcasting career. He wrote on the NFL beat for SI's website. He left Sports Illustrated and joined ESPN as an NFL columnist in September 2010. In July 2013, Tucker was named the lead NFL columnist for The Sporting News. Tucker also hosts the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. Starting with the beginning of the 2010 NFL season, Tucker became the Host of The Morning Kickoff with Ross Tucker on Sirius XM NFL Radio. During the fall, Tucker serves as a commentator for NFL games on Westwood One as well as college games for NBC Sports Network. He also writes a weekly NFL column for Sports on Earth and is a frequent fill-in host on The Dan Patrick Show.

Ross Tucker Wiki Request Edit 5/20/19
Hello,

I am representing Ross Tucker again and still. We'd like to request an update to this page please. We would like for this line to be inserted either in the open or in the Sports Journalism segment. “Was named by Inc. as one of the NFL’s 10 Richest Entrepreneurs in 2011” Here is the associated proof link:

 * Unfortunately, Inc.'s "NFL 10 Richest Entrepreneurs" is not a subject which is independently notable in Wikipedia. For an item of acclimation to be mentioned in an article, it's best that the item be independently notable, which is to say that the item has its own page on Wikipedia. While Inc. does have its own page, this acclimation does not. Setting the bar this way ensures that acclimations and awards mentioned in Wikipedia have some sort of merit. Furthermore, the acclimation is not related to either his work performed in college football, the NFL, or sports journalism. This makes the acclimation — which derives from his personal business — more difficult to justify adding to the article. As an alternative, the link to the designation has been added to the external links section.

Ross Tucker Wiki Request Edit 6/17/19
Hello,

Again, I work for Ross Tucker. These request's have been made of me for changes to the wiki page as per Ross Tucker.

-Get rid of it saying I worked for the Yankees Sports & Entertainment Network (as this network no longer exists and is unnecessary)

-Not specify 2nd-Team All-Ivy and instead just say “All-Ivy” in 2000 (for clarity)

-Remove the reference to rotating with John Amburgy as a sophomore. (not necessary)

Regards, Spintendo  12:22, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) ✅ The claim regarding John Amburgy was added September 23, 2018 by the editor Tecmo. Looking at the reference, it states In fact, the odd man out could be a player who has been a starter since his freshman year as well. John Amburgy and Ross Tucker, who split one guard spot last year, both figure to start this year, which would move Abdullah to the center position. The claim in the article is As a sophomore, he was moved to right guard where he splitted time with John Amburgy. It is arguable whether splitted time is a grammatical phrase. Thus I have reworded the claim as As a sophomore, he and John Amburgy were moved to a right guard spot.
 * 2) ❌ The information involving the Yankees Sports and Entertainment Network does not disappear merely because the network will. For the most part when circumstances change, these are duly noted in Wikipedia but left as a historical record. Once the disposition of the network is fully decided, the display of the YES Network navbar may be deprecated.
 * 3) ✅ The claim involving All Ivy was added/changed by the editor Tecmo. It appears that the designation of 2nd team is correct. Nevertheless, the source does not really elaborate on what the difference is between 1st and 2nd Ivy teams. The referenced article discusses all the players, regardless of which team they were assigned, as being "All-Ivy Princetonians". Without this being adequately explained, the "2nd team" qualification appears to contain a specific meaning which, if left written as is, may be unaccessible to readers of the article. Thus, this qualification was omitted for lack of specificity.

Hello,

This is Jason Montgomery, I am working with Ross Tucker as previously acknowledged. He has requested an update to his Wiki page please.

As per Mr. Tucker: "The biggest one that stands out is I was named to Princeton’s 150th Anniversary Team which is pretty cool. I’d love to have that listed under my college part as well as “Honors and Accomplishments” on the side.

Something like “Was named to Princeton’s 150th Anniversary Team in 2019."
