Why does this site say users can edit the pages but you just go ahead and delete whatever is written? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.209.47.109 (talk) 17:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC) So true from this guy, I just started here and have quality references and this guy still deletes it.--Justhangin (talk) 22:53, 2 April 2009 (UTC) Las Vegas 51sHi. I noticed you updated the 51s' season-by-season record with this year's final results. However, you didn't update their total record (franchise wins/losses, etc). I would have done it myself, but I couldn't tell if you were keeping a running total. Thought you might like to know so you could make the correction. :) -NatureBoyMD 21:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC) Pittsburgh PiratesThank you for fixing the infoboxes for the Pirates seasons. I created a few of them but had no clue where to find the details for local TV or radio. It adds a touch of class to the articles. Nice work!!! Maple Leaf 19:41, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Cincinnati RedsGreat job with the infoboxes on the Reds season articles. I've been so addicted to the Baseball-Reference Bullpen the past few weeks I've barely edited at Wikipedia. Fantastic work! jj137 (Talk) 22:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC) Years in baseball categoriesHi I'm sure it was a good idea to create Category:1880 Major League Baseball season, Category:1881 Major League Baseball season, etc, which you did last week, but please don't forget to categorise the category. I found several of these categories in Special:Uncategorizedcategories and have added them to Category:Major League Baseball seasons the appropriate subcategories of Category:Years in baseball, because otherwise they would have been inaccessible to readers. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC) Milestone home runsYou may have an opinion on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Milestone home runs by Barry Bonds.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 14:35, 3 November 2007 (UTC) The Barnstar of Life

If he had finished second or third or got a sizeable amount [sic] of votes then it would be ok." Where do you find, other than in your POV, that finishing third is notable but sixth is not? --Epeefleche 22:58, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
I think however one decides this must be POV. But look at http://www.baseball-reference.com/l/loneyja01.shtml . They think that it is notable enought to put on his baseball reference page. And we list top 10 in lots of other things in baseball, no?--Epeefleche 00:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Odd litmus test. So you would pull mention of Tulo as well?--Epeefleche (talk) 07:19, 18 November 2007 (UTC) Just Saying HiHiya. Just wanted to post a note to thank you for starting stubs for Jack Cronin and George Sharrott. I noticed because i had "red links" to them when i wrote the stub for "Brewery Jack" Taylor, who grew up with those players on Staten Island. The researcher i'm assisting is very interested in early players from that area of NYC, and may have some additional info i can add to your stubs for those early Brooklyn players. I'll see what i can add. Anyways, just wanted to say hi and thanks. Take care!

Fair use rationale for Image:BB post.jpgThanks for uploading Image:BB post.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 15:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Clayton KershawFair enough, but that seems like a pretty good way to discourage a new contributor. I've got a lot of information to offer in the world of baseball prospects, but I'm not going to bother if it's going to be taken down 5 minutes later because you don't think it's newsworthy. The source leading to an MLB.com headline would seem to indicate otherwise.

I'm regularly having to disambiguate half a dozen or more links on these pages after you fill the rosters in. -Dewelar (talk) 23:33, 20 February 2009 (UTC) ThanksThanks for the encouragement with the article I created List of countries with their first Major League Baseball player. I'm proud to say that the article did survive. Unfortunately my usernames(diarrheachacha and Passedflatus) were deemed offensive, and I lost that arguement. I thought they were pretty funny.Racingstripes (talk) 05:01, 12 March 2009 (UTC) ClosersI have no argument with closers being identified as a general rule. My issue is that "closer" is kind of a shakily-defined role until about the 1970s, and even then not every team had one. It's not easily identifiable in the way that positional starters are (unless we want to automatically deem that the guy with the most saves or the most games finished is the closer, which can be misleading). Also, in the early days of relief pitching, the guys who were the closest thing to closers also got a lot of starts (Marberry comes to mind immediately), and thus will wind up being in "Other pitchers" rather than "Relief pitchers". 1943 Les Webber, though...I'm not sure someone with less than half his team's saves qualifies. Why does he get a "CL" and not 1942 Hugh Casey, who was as close to a prototypical closer as you get in the 1940s? As far as how to identify the closer within the standardized pages, I'm thinking that a closer, when there is one, should probably be identified in the stats section in the same way the starting position players are rather than on the roster. It's more consistent that way. Any objection to that? -Dewelar (talk) 01:34, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Andrew JonesYahoo sports had a breaking news thing saying he had been released, but they removed it, so the deadline has been extended.(Planecrash111 (talk) 14:43, 21 March 2009 (UTC)) It is a notable injury if it keeps him out for 14 days. Keep it there and I'm getting a response from an admin soon if this is a an appropriate edit.(Planecrash111 (talk) 14:43, 21 March 2009 (UTC)) Yes it is notable and about the article being too large...I'm starting a complete makeover of the page and will be removing any unnecessary information.(Planecrash111 (talk) 14:46, 21 March 2009 (UTC)) Yes it is. I have done over 10,000 edits of this kind on here and I will be doing it today.(Planecrash111 (talk) 14:49, 21 March 2009 (UTC) Take a good look. I'm not adding every game result to Wikipedia. I know it would make the articles unmanageable, but that would be if you add what happens every time he goes to the game, which I'm not. I'm just adding notable injuries and home runs. Just back off.(Planecrash111 (talk) 14:58, 21 March 2009 (UTC)) No. The people wanted the article to contain less space and I fixed it.(Planecrash111 (talk) 15:22, 21 March 2009 (UTC)) |
