Evan Phillips was an integral part of the NLDS and NLCS and he was injured so was left off WS roster. Why do you insist on not including him as a World Series Champion for 2024? 168.150.120.241 (talk) 18:12, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Its not my choice; its WikiProject Baseball policy - itself based on Baseball Reference and stat sites policy - which I follow with every player; no exceptions. Hence why a hidden note is added to players who do not qualify. If you have an objections, I would suggest you take it up there. I can't help much.

Well, now I feel foolish... there's no freedom of panorama in the US for statues. It doesn't affect the quality of the article but perhaps an external link is warranted now since that photo can't be used. Reconrabbit13:16, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries there. Trust me, I've been trying to find images to use on this particular page for some time now. They are just very hard to track down. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:33, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tip of the month:
Think of rewarding contributors, especially newcomers, with a barnstar.
Hello. In reference to editor 24.101.112.71, I agree with you 100%. I have edited many team pages, but tried to keep it simple and basic, and I always finished a baseball team page the same day or the next day. Look at the 2024 MLB season, I added player and pitchers tables (with team leaders in yellow) to 24 of 30 teams and completed all of them and in previous years as well. He has left many tables incompleted and I would like to know, should I delete whatever I feel will never be completed by anyone including myself? Too labor intensive for me.Theairportman33531 (talk) 17:23, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there! The thing is, its definitely a multi-user task because the user has really screwed things up. The best thing, I think, is to go back to the last version before this user's edits began and then replace the current page with that. I'll ping @Spanneraol here for their view on this solution too. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:37, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The editor in question is refusing to engage on talk pages.. and his edits are definitely excessive. I deleted his content a few times but he keeps putting it back in... most likely will need administrator intervention as he seems to be abusing multiple IP addresses and may be a sock of a banned user.

Hello and good day. Looks like the issue hasn't been resolved after being addressed two weeks ago. I guess just leave it alone. Deleting all the unwanted material is too tedious. Maybe you have a solution to this. You have a good day.Theairportman33531 (talk) 16:02, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is in reference to your removal of Michael Page as a Jewish Olympic Medalist.
I am unaware of any published source states he is Jewish. That said, knowing my family tree, he is undeniably Jewish.
His mother, Barbara Eisgrau, was a great aunt of mine, whom I can state was Jewish, as were her parents, brothers and sisters. Michael Page's first cousins include a pair of Baltimore-based rabbis that share his mother's maiden name. 990Jim (talk) 20:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@990Jim, I'm sorry but that is not good enough for him to be added. He's not in any of the official record books who list Jewish Olympians which, I should add, have records of people who don't identify as Jewish even but are simply because there because they are of Jewish descent. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:10, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would also advise you not to edit-war and revert any edits done in line with Wikipedia policy. Just because you say so does not mean its true and adding a source which does not list him isn't good enough either. If you do it again, I will simply revert it. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:14, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have better things to do than engage in an "edit war," was only interested in stating facts. I undid your revisions since they are factually incorrect. If that's not good enough for wikipedia, then so be it.
Michael Page is still Jewish, and he still won Olympic medals whether you choose to allow it to appear on wikpedia or not. If you ask him, he won't deny it. I am confident that whomever wrote the "official" books would gladly revise them if presented with the information and that it is more than likely books you are citing did not know of his Jewish descent since his father's name is not Jewish-sounding. 990Jim (talk) 20:26, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know about the last one as I've learnt of many Jewish Olympians who don't have perceived Jewish names - Lillian Copeland, Sarah Hughes to name two. In fact, I made this page specifically to shed light on Jewish athletes. The more the better, IMO, but the policy is there has to be a reliable source. So far, I'm afraid there is none to be had.
Thank you for understanding my position and also for making me aware of this. I will keep a lookout for any source from Newspapers.com archives to see if there is anything on Michael Page and him being Jewish. If I do find it, I will certainly add his name back.

Why remove (and doing so repeatedly, without any discussion) the two direct sister ships? RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic Categories are primarily navigational, not somehow ontologically defining. These are obvious connections and navigation paths for our readers. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:33, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The category was a mess frankly so I took care to diffuse articles where appropriate and added things which were missing. These were removed as part of that clean-up and I thought they were there by accident. But I guess it makes sense to add these ships here given they are sisters/same class of ships.
