Athlete height edits
I've noted that you've made several changes to the height of football players as stated in the infobox at the beginning of their biographical articles. The general practice in athlete infoboxes is to use the official height. For NFL players, this is typically the height stated at the team website, or at NFL.com.

For example, the infobox instructions at Template:Infobox NFL player state that the height parameter is "used to display the players physical dimensions as listed at official team websites. (Preferred contingency source is NFL.com)"

If there are reliable sources indicating that the official height may be substantially incorrect, that discrepancy may be mentioned (with appropriate sources) in the text of the article: see Hakeem Olajuwon and Bill Walton for notable examples. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia requires reliable sources for any contentious material, and that this policy is especially strong with respect to biographies of living persons.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:50, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
