Notes
edit- Added Junior college football coaches in the United States, Navy, Jets scouts, Pats scouts, af2 coaches, and Arena Football League executives cats Done
- Ref 2 was dead. I added an archived version. Done
- Changed "arena" in the coaching record part of the infobox to AFL because the af2 is arena football also. Done
- I don't think the ACFL was really THE "NFL's minor league at the time". The Atlantic Coast Football League article just says they had working agreements. Done
- Removed that part.
- "He also did film work as a defensive assistant and was assistant linebackers coach as well as assistant defensive backs coach from 1979 to 1981, before being fired in December 1981" I don't see that in either of the clippings? Done
- "Buffington was hired by Babe Parilli as defensive coordinator and head scout of the New England Steamrollers, of the newly formed Arena Football League (AFL), in 1988.[2][5][10] He followed Parilli to the Denver Dynamite in 1989, staying as defensive coordinator" I don't see that stuff in ref 2? Done
- This ref verifies most of it - ref 2 also shows him following Parilli - the other part (head scout) is verified by 10.
- None of those say defensive coordinator of the Steamrollers or Dynamite. I cant get to page C3 though? I logged into Newspapers.com too and I can't figure out how to do it?
- @WikiOriginal-9: C3 is just a clipping which should be accessible to everyone - does that link not work for you? (are you at the plain newspapers.com url, or https://www-newspapers-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/ ?) Also, note that it says "Parilli hired Buffington as defensive coordinator in Providence [Steamrollers] and Denver [Dynamite]." BeanieFan11 (talk) 13:27, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I didn't notice that C3 was in the reference at the end until now. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 13:38, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

- "eventual champion Tampa Bay Storm" Add ArenaBowl before champion Done
- Added,
- "He was fired following the year" The source is for 1993 so he was fired the same year. Just change it to he was fired after the season. Done
- Changed.
- I know the AF2 article is titled in uppercase but that is incorrect. That is like if iPhone was called IPhone. I've been meaning to change that for years if you check the talk page. Manual of Style editors keep moving it back. The league was always called af2. Suggest changing it to the "the af2's New Haven Ninjas" Done
- Changed.
- "after which he retired" that source doesn't say he retired unless part of that source is missing due to webarchive problems because there are some other notes I had about that source above. Done
- Removed.
- "Buffington worked with comedian" I think you need to add more context that it was a summer job from the source Done
- Mentioned summer job.
- I'm going to check the infobox to make sure everything matches after we get the problems with ref 2 figured out. Done
I think that's all. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:32, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

- Here is the last thing I noticed: Neither one of the two claims below are in the body.
