The "Infractions and penalties" section was removed with this edit by an IP whose other work has been reverted. It's unsourced but looks credible. Please can a subject expert consider restoring it? Thanks, Certes (talk) 10:36, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing out this vandalism. I have restored the deleted section. Indefatigable (talk) 23:05, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the recent addition of the diagram to the article - it's an excellent addition, but I don't think it's correct. The CFL's change to the hash mark spacing now has them 9 yd or 27 ft apart, not 18 ft 6 in. Indefatigable (talk) 22:31, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Have any admins checked what edit they are approving?!!! Bociek O-le (talk) 20:04, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bociek O-le: what are you referring to? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:34, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9 Please check the content of this article - someone has committed very grave and malicious (and in its own way witty) vandalism here by replacing the content of the article, repeated many times, with the original lyrics of the German marching folk song "Erika", used by the Third Reich army during World War II. Thank you for reading my message and best regards. Bociek O-le (talk) 20:53, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
