NEED FOR UPDATE

Somebody please update the Super Bowl XLVII page!! The regular season is starting and the Wikipedia page is still not updated. Please do it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.229.231.171 (talk) 14:20, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

What specifically needs to be updated? The league has not officially announced much about it -- not even an official announcement about the halftime show yet. Last year, the Super Bowl XLVI article was similar (see the archived version). The only difference was a preliminary list of foreign broadcasters, and a verified report about a political ad. So again, could you be more specific on what needs updated? Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:32, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Mardi Gras 2013

Mardi Gras 2013 is on February 12 so if the NFL Regular Season is extended to 18 games (2 bye weeks as a possibility) it may conflict with the Carnival Season. Night Tracks (talk) 10:26, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Super Bowl XLVII Logo

I put the logo in since it was the format the NFL uses and seen it in the Super Bowl XLVI program. It may have to be changed when a better one comes out or when the logo with the stadium in the background becomes available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryn Morgan (talk • contribs) 20:10, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

No logo yet, this is suprising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.81.112 (talk) 00:42, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Needs to be updated after Conference Championships

This page will need to be updated after the conclusion of the Conference Championships to represent the two teams playing in the game. Wikifan0703 (talk) 21:03, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Scoring

When the game starts, people are going to be updating the score as the game goes on. To prevent any edit conflicts, should we designate probably one person to keep track of the score, and any edits involving content or such be set aside until a break in the action? ZappaOMati 03:12, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

I do not think that would help since other users would try to edit it. Isn't there a special lock that allows for a review before adding info to the article? I believe that it might help any future problems come Feb. 3rd. (Otherwise, the Current Event template might help.) --Super Goku V (talk) 03:40, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

There is WP:Pending changes, which is probably the special lock you're referring to. But then again, the Template:Current sport template could also work. ZappaOMati 03:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Yep, that was what I was going for. I was thinking that PCP Level 2 with Semi-protection would be good for this article, but since it doesn't exist yet, either the Current sport template or PCP Level 1 should be a good idea to keep the editing volume, and thus edit conflicts, down to a minimum. --Super Goku V (talk) 03:52, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

This article is currently under semi-protection until February 10 due to persistent vandalism by unregistered users (IP addresses), as well as edits from any newly-registered accounts that are not autoconfirmed. A number of IP addresses were vandalizing this page several months ago trying to play "fortune teller" and entering various teams and scores in advance. I still support semi-protection, as various Ravens and 49ers fans will want to do the same in the next couple of weeks. Thus, the only people who currently would be able to edit this page are established users. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:57, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Huh, so it is already semi-protected. In any case, I would say that any protection that allows only establised users would be nice. (If it is highly successful, then I would suggest that it should be used next year for the XLVIII page.) --Super Goku V (talk) 05:59, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Story Lines

Someone should add a story line section for the game, clearly. With it being brother vs. brother, that's one. With the retirement of Ray Lewis is another. It needs to be said. Plenty of good sourced material about it. It is the overwhelming theme of the game this year.Zdawg1029 (talk) 04:00, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Okay I didn't see that at the top.Zdawg1029 (talk) 04:02, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Higher loss teams

Anyone have info regarding the two teams WinLoss records? Like is this the lowest combined WinLoss percentage by the two SB teams? Given the Ravens 10-6 record and the 49ers 11-4-1 it begs the question. I might look it up later in the week when I have more time if no one else has. 72.129.148.164 (talk) 05:07, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

There is no list on Wikipedia that contains the data. However, by luck, I did end up finding Super Bowl XLVI, and from there, Super Bowl XIV. XIV is likely the one you are looking for, but XLVI might be worth you time as well. Hopefully, this data might be able to somehow help the article. --Super Goku V (talk) 05:50, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Speaking of random stats that are so prevalent in NFL lore, I was thinking maybe this Super Bowl might be the one with the lowest combined WinLoss percentage from their regular seasons. Or least winningest teams to participate. But it is not so. This SB is 2nd or 3rd, depending on how one ranks ties. SBs XIV and XLIII are tied for first with combined regular season WinLoss percentage of 65.6 percent. The other SB you cite XLVI would be 4th with 68.8 percent. Oh, BTW, this years contest's participants Ravens & 49ers have the combined regular season WinLoss pecentage at 67.2. Is it relevant? How many of these types of stats are? 72.129.148.164 (talk) 02:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 21 January 2013

Missed field goal by Billy Cundif in the 2011 AFC Championship Game was potentially game tying not game winning. 66.66.190.243 (talk) 12:06, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
