OK. In the 'Christianity' section, please change:

to:

• "Medical care" is very anodyne, also unspecific. Circumcision is radically different from bandaging a knee. He and his family are very proud of the circumcisions and publicize them, so why does Wikipedia need to be so coy about it? 108.244.74.98 (talk) 02:40, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Jacksonville (Semi-Protected Edit request May 11 2021)

I don't know if this is a reliable source but it says that the Jaguars are to sign Tebow to a one year deal as a tight end.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Idk hyper (talk • contribs)

CBS is indeed a reliable source, but how we handle sports transactions is to not update player articles until confirmed by the league's transaction wire or the team (i.e., a formal statement from the Jaguars). There is always a possibility that the Jags or Tebow renege on a deal at the last minute, so it's best to wait until it is officially official. Zappa⚡Matic 20:35, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Dr. Tim Tebow

A Dr. prefix, or at least mention of his Doctorate, should be added to Tebow's name.

At Liberty University's 48th Commencement (May 15, 2021), LU acting Pres. Prevo awarded Tebow with a doctorate of humanities, due to his charity work.

See this news article: Jamey Cross (May 15, 2021) The News and Advance, "Watch Now: Liberty University celebrates 48th commencement with in-person, virtual ceremonies" https://newsadvance.com/news/local/watch-now-liberty-university-celebrates-48th-commencement-with-in-person-virtual-ceremonies/article_d249ce9a-b4f1-11eb-87b8-135a00736cba.html Eusebius1517 (talk) 01:36, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Under "NFL career statistics/Broncos franchise records" please delete from the Sacked bullet: "game (7 on 2011-10-30 DET)". On Oct 17, 2019, Joe Flacco was sacked 8 times by the Kansas City Chiefs. Here is my source: Domino Fibonacci (talk) 22:19, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

I've removed the entire section. Checking this Pro Football Reference page and clicking on each record, searching for DEN players, only the yards per pass attempt in a single playoff game franchise record is actually true, but that seems like an over-specific record to include, and is borderline WP:FANCRUFT. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (talk) 05:47, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Please change The Tim Tebow Foundation includes Night to Shine, an event geared to providing those with special needs a safe space to have a prom.[255] to

The Tim Tebow Foundation celebrates people with special needs by hosting Night to Shine. In 2014, the Tim Tebow Foundation launched Night to Shine to provide an unforgettable prom experience for people with special needs, ages 14 and older. This prom, hosted by churches worldwide, takes place around Valentine’s Day. In 2015, the first Night to Shine honored 7,000 guests with the help of 15,000 volunteers. This event took place in 44 churches, 26 states, and three countries. In February 2020, Night to Shine honored 110,000 guests with help from 215,000 volunteers. This event took place in 721 churches, 50 states, and 34 countries. In 2021 and 2022, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, Night to Shine was partially virtual. Guests attended an in-person Shine-Thru Parade where they drove down the red carpet, picked up their guest bags, and got their pictures taken without ever leaving their car. These guests then went home and celebrated a virtual prom hosted by Tim and Demi Tebow. This event included dancing, karaoke, and inspiring messages from celebrities. Guest were all crowned kings and queens of the prom.

Night to Shine is special to Tim Tebow as it was where he first met his wife, Demi. She had a sister with special needs, and they both attended Night to Shine in South Africa. Whether you are in a large city of the United States or a small rural town in Africa, Night to Shine is an event centered on God’s love for people with special needs.

Tight end?

@Bears247 Not sure why you keep changing the opening sentence to say that Tebow played tight end and removing the mention of his current career in broadcasting. He won a Heisman at QB but never appeared as a tight end in a regular season game at any level, so giving those positions equal weight in the opening sentence is misleading and violates WP:UNDUE. Of course, his brief tryout at TE should be mentioned in the article and (arguably) in the infobox, but not at the very top of the introduction.

Also, saying that he's a "free agent" implies that he's still looking to sign with a team when he's clearly done with playing professionally at this point. He's been working at ESPN / SEC Network for several years, so that career should definitely be mentioned in the lede imo. Zeng8r (talk) 12:43, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

@Zeng8r: I'd have to look for it, but at one point there was a discussion at the NFL WikiProject regarding when to stop labelling a player as a free agent. The end result was a general rule of thumb that players are changed from free agent to former player after a period of 2 years. Technically working a TV job does not mean that a player could not return to professional sports (Jason Witten), though I do recognize that it's unlikely and uncommon. Matt Ryan's article faces a similar issue, in that he's taken a TV job but he's not announced that he's actually retired from football. I believe that's what Bearts247 is working off of in regards to the free agent mention. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:59, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

That's a reasonable guideline. Tebow hasn't played in a regular season NFL game since 2012, his brief training camp tryout with the Jaguars ended two years ago, and in between he spent several years away from the game. Even that was because his former coach (Urban Meyer) had just started his ill-fated tenure in Jax and wanted Tebow in camp to be a good work ethic example. His playing career is clearly done. Zeng8r (talk) 14:13, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm going to get quite busy with real life very soon so I went ahead and re-reverted the first sentence as described above and revamped the rest of the introduction while I was here. Feel free to discuss further as desired... Zeng8r (talk) 13:51, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Tight end tryout does not meet MOS:ROLEBIO and should not be in the lead sentence.—Bagumba (talk) 04:36, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Was not the first underclassman to win heisman like it says in the opening paragraphs.

Tim Tebow was not the first undergrad to win the Heisman Trophy!

 Not done: The articles says ...the first underclassman, not the first undergrad. Tebow won the Trophy in his sophomore year. Liu1126 (talk) 16:48, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

I am aware that the word underclassman may be confusing to non-Americans (which includes myself; I had to look it up too). It refers to the first and second years of university education. Perhaps a rewording would make it clearer, but MOS:TIES recommends using the nation's own style of English, which would be American English in this case given Tebow's nationality. Liu1126 (talk) 16:53, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
