PR?[edit]

I assume PR means "personal record", but then again, I am an anagramoholic. For someone not familiar with this abbreviation coming onto this kind of article for the first time, they might no know what that is. (In track, the notation "PB" for personal best is also used; so why not be consistent?) Qed (talk) 17:38, 22 December 2014 (UTC) 17:37, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Times[edit]

I can't find a primary source confirming the times listed in the Track and Field section. A blog post is not an acceptable source. Athletic.net has his best times as 10.28 and 20.63 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ckb614 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Retirement[edit]

WP is not a crystal ball & can not predict the future. It has been announce on May 11th that a "source" states Lockette will retire on May 12th. It will not hurt to wait until after Lockette's retirement is officially announced to change his WP page. Not trying to make a big deal but WP is also not a tabloid website trying to be the first to report a news story & all information entered on WP should be as factual as possible. He will not be officially retired until he announces his retirement or "if" he announces his retirement since he can change his mind or the "source" maybe be wrong. Thank you.

@HENDAWG229: Since I see you are still relatively new to Wikipedia, get used to this. IP addresses can be infuriating at times so get used to it. I've been doing this for off and on for 5 years with 8,000 edits and I learned pretty quick. Most IP address don't read edit summaries, notifications, or talk pages. You best bet to avoid IP address edits is putting a hidden note in the article using "" then type in what you don't want them to do in between the dashes. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or hit up the NFL project talk page if you haven't already. Most of the guys there are great and willing to help. --Rockchalk717 08:35, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
