1997 Iowa Barnstormers (AFL) Football Forum

https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/241935/1997-Iowa-Barnstormers

The person who added the list has chosen not to receive messages via the site, so I am unable to respond to them. But the user added the names backwards. "Warner Kurt" should be "Kurt Warner" - probably my fault, as the list I sent for the checklist had last name before first name. Since I can't contact the user  to have them correct this, how do I get this fixed?

Thanks in advance, 

Dave

Fixing now

THANKS!!

Done. Only some of the checklist needed to be fixed. Conveniently enough the cheerleaders were all good. I see you are still a newer member on here. For future reference you can learn how to do these edits yourself. Below is the link to the Permissions for theis site. Once you get to Level 3 you can edit the name fields and make the fixes.

Also, this is a good example of how when you submit information to those who are fixing or adding, the info has to be correct and complete. If the names had been "Warner, Kurt", maybe the person adding them would have realized that the names were reversed. But a lot of the time, those of us who fix and add things are not subject matter experts, but we're database fixer/adder experts. We really rely on those making the requests to be very specific and accurate.

As much as this could have been a pain, it was a small set, and the fact that you brought it to the forums may actually be a good thing, because it might stop this from happening with another set (or two - or more) in the future. And enlightening the members is always a good thing!

How many you guys clicked on the link for this set as soon as you read the word "cheerleaders"?  Be warned...there are no scans up yet.  Not that I was checking on it or anything!

I submitted a comma-separated list, with column headers at the top. I could not find anywhere that stated what format a list should be, or the order of columns, which is why I provided column headers. I provided a link to the checklist and then my CSV list, with an offer to re-arrange if needed.

Jim is right, I am new here and this was my first submission. I appreciate everyone's help at every step, from the user that originally loaded, to Jim, to your comments, Dan. I find I'm learning all the time.

Is there a standard way to submit these? If there is I could not find that information.

Ha! Just a heads up, the photography on this set is not very high quality!!

I am the person who added the checklist. I did not make a mistake, I added the checklist exactly as you listed it in the IR. Any spelling issues were from the checklist you posted.

Hi Corky - I appreciate you adding the list! There weren't spelling issues, but rather format of the names. I sent in the CSV list with last name then first name (I'm old enough to remember phone books), because I couldn't find any direction on how to do that. I tried to PM you directly, but the site said you weren't receiving messages. I know you just followed how I sent them...I'm at fault here. I should have asked the question first, then sent the list.
