Eppa RixeyI think I took care of all your concerns. Thanks Secret account 22:54, 7 February 2011 (UTC) Joe BordenHi, I've passed the article now, well done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 19:55, 11 February 2011 (UTC) Infobox height/weightBe bold and just add it as an optional parameter. It won't affect the articles that don't use it, but gives you the option. Plus that information has long been tracked, may as well present it. Staxringold talkcontribs 07:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC) Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preferenceHello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled. On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note. Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:34, 15 March 2011 (UTC) Talkback Message added 11:23, 29 March 2011 (UTC).

For some of you, this will be your first time receiving one of these messages, as it has been a year since the WikiProject Oregon Collaboration of the Week (COTW) was a regular thing. My hope is it gets back to being a regular thing. Usually I would go over the past COTW, but we are basically starting out anew. So, without further adieu, this edition is our semi-annual picture drive. We usually try to do it when there is decent weather in the state, and today seems to fit the bill. Now although you are encouraged to go out and take pictures, you can also just search the internet for images that have the proper licensing and upload those. Flickr is one site that has a fair amount of content with the proper licensing (most images on Flickr are not compatible). See WP:COPYRIGHT in general. For some “free” sources, check out the our dormant subproject that has some links to sources. Lastly, if you need to know what images we need, here are the requests. Please remove the request from the talk page if you add an image. Finally (this is not image related), as the years have passed, we have lost many good editors, and others, like myself, are no longer in school or are working full-time or both, and thus are less active in the project. The project lives on, but it has created a bit of a power vacuum without a de facto cabal still around all the time. With that in mind, I encourage newer project members to step-up and fill some leadership type roles. Granted, we have no formal ruling junta or anything and no real defined roles, but there are many maintenance type tasks that some of us just took on to keep the project going. For instance, I ran the COTW, was pretty much the only one doing assessments, updating the portal, and even handing out the awards. I am sure others in the project can name what things they have done. The point being, that while I enjoyed those and still do some of those, I simply no longer have the free time to do all of it at a level that the project deserves. That said, I hope to start a discussion at WT:ORE where we can see if some newer editors would like to step-up and take on some of these tasks, which will hopefully make for a more inclusive project, and maybe get us back to the heyday of say 2008 when things were really rocking for WikiProject Oregon. As always, please click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Aboutmovies (talk) 22:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC) Height and WeightHi ... I seem to have re-started a discussion that you took part in, on a different noticeboard, six months back on the possibility of adding height and weight to the baseball infobox. Another editor helpfully pointed me to the old discussion. FYI, the current discussion is here. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:35, 21 September 2011 (UTC) New Page Patrol survey
Billy SullivanHi-I found an article in the Milwaukee Journal of January 29, 1965 about the death of Billy Sullivan. This confirms he was born in the town of Oakland in Jefferson County. Thank you-RFD (talk) 17:49, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
request for a quick interviewI'm a researcher at MIT studying the impact of Google Books digitization of the Baseball Digest on Wikipedia baseball editing. I would like to briefly interview you on the phone to ask you a few questions about how baseball editing is organized on Wikipedia, about prominent bots and your personal experiences with the digital copies of the Baseball Digest. Let me know, I can call most times. my webpage is http://abhishek.mit.edu Dalek2point3 (talk) 00:03, 13 December 2011 (UTC) Did Tim Murnane Attend Holy Cross?DonnaHalper (talk) 18:22, 24 December 2011 (UTC) This is a copy of what I also left on the Murnane talk page, in case others want to contribute as well. First, thanks for the reply. Baseball-reference.com may indeed be reliable (as we all try to be),and I have queried them too. (I am also a SABR member, although a newer member than some.) But with no offense intended to others who know the topic better than I, it seems likely that somebody way back when made an error and then others just repeated it, since the claim is unsourced and the Archivist for Holy Cross (whom I called) does not find any record of a Timothy Murnane from Connecticut-- he finds one from Fitchburg (who seems to be a different Timothy Murnane, with a different middle name) who attended Holy Cross's prep school during those years, not Holy Cross college. Newspaper articles, and our Tim Murnane's own recollections, place him in Connecticut playing for Stratford, Norwalk and several other local teams in 1869-70, and all he ever mentions is going to school in Naugatuck in a one-room country school. I find no evidence he was in Massachusetts at that time, and he only mentions Massachusetts as a place he visited later, when he was playing baseball. THAT is why I am puzzled. So how do we address this? I certainly do not want to question anyone's research, and as much as I am known for being accurate, I know I too make mistakes sometimes. Suggested actions for clearing this up? Or do we just leave it alone for now?
DonnaHalper (talk) 19:29, 25 December 2011 (UTC)I am finding all sorts of interesting research about him, including that the newspapers of the 1870s and early 1880s spelled his name Murnan. (So did the 1860 census.) I am hopeful I can provide some useful new additions to the research on him, as he was considered the dean of Boston's baseball writers for nearly thirty years. Oh, one thing you could do for me that I would really appreciate. I will absolutely be able to source my Murnane additions very soon, but the one thing I have never done right is how you good folks do the footnotes. I am a professor and a media historian, so I am accustomed to doing them with an internal citation, but I know you do it differently. I have been referred to some pages that show what looks like code of some kind, but I really would appreciate somebody explaining it me. Any ideas as to whom I might ask for a quick lesson? I learn much better when somebody shows me-- visual learner, and all that!!! Holiday good wishes to you and yours. Worcester WorcestersI did a little following up on the July 2009 discussion over the name of this 1880s NL franchise.

Main Page appearanceHello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article Boston Reds (1890–1891) all-time roster know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on April 23, 2012. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/April 23, 2012. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man (talk · contribs), Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) or Giants2008 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)  The all-time roster of the Major League Baseball franchise's Boston Reds spans one season in the Players' League (PL) in 1890 (team pictured), and one season in the American Association (AA) in 1891. In each season, the Reds were their league's champion. The Reds were an instant success on the field and with the public. The team signed several top-level players, and they played in a larger, more modern ballpark than the Boston Beaneaters, the popular and well established cross-town rival. After the dissolution of the PL, the AA voted to allow the Reds into the new combined league. The Reds stayed intact by keeping several of their top players, and signed several other top-level players to fill the void of the departing players. When the 1891 season ended, the AA also folded, and the Reds were bought out by the surviving NL clubs. Jim Creighton at cricketThere's not a lot on him as a cricketer in what I would consider the "usual" places. This would be the major starting point for anyone as a cricketer, with this a list of his matches (all of which are below what may be considered "top class") recorded by the CricketArchive people. But it is missing several of the matches which are mentioned in the article, and the archive is by no means comprehensive. This may be the team he played against, but I'm not sure how reliable that tour article is, as this is not really my speciality. The matches given on the site are interesting, and according to this scorecard, the American Cricket Club was formed after this match. Finally, it doesn't tell us much about what he did as a cricketer such as his bowling style. I'm not too sure how much you know about cricket, so let me know if I can help further. Not sure if any of this helps! Sarastro1 (talk) 22:34, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Yngvadottir (talk) 08:02, 12 June 2012 (UTC) Umpires Task ForceThank you for the interest you expressed at the proposal for an umpire related Wiki Project. You may be interested to know that it has been decided to create a task force under the Baseball WikiProject instead. That taskforce page can be found here, although it still needs some polishing up.

Request for reviewHi there Neonblak! I was just wondering whether you could help review the 20–20–20 club list I nominated for FL. I understand that you're probably busy, so there's no need to commit to anything and take as long as you need (as I nominated the list less than a week ago). A quick scan through would be great.

Hand-codingHey all :). I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :). You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyes If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office connect.

Disambiguation link notification for April 9Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of 19th-century baseball players, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Con Murphy (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A QPQ is still needed, since you have 22 DYK credits (to be exempted, one needs 5 or less). —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:33, 30 April 2013 (UTC) Neonblak, just so you know, when you're the nominator of a DYK, you shouldn't do anything to it once it is promoted and in a prep area, and you certainly shouldn't revert the promotion like you did with Jack Stivetts today. If the person promoting it makes a mistake, please place a request for a fix on WT:DYK, and it will get taken care of. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:10, 6 May 2013 (UTC) DYK for Jack Stivetts

You can imagine my confusion...I'm making a correct grammatical change, and this Neonblak editor insists on reverting back to the incorrect grammar. But it was tunnel vision on my part. I didn't notice my apparent deletion of Jim's entire player stats box. Here's what happened. All I did was give the Edit (Beta) a try, and apparently by changing three words, I inadvertently deleted a large stat-box of the article...somehow. Super confusing. I suppose I'll just stick with Edit Source from here on out, as that Beta characterization is dead on. As you can see from the new official edit, I was simply making a grammatical change.
