Safiel (talk) 05:12, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is brought to AfD, see the article's talk page. That should cover it. Lizard (talk) 06:01, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We should delete this article, surely he'll never amount to anything. Lizard (talk) 02:24, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Yankees10 Regarding Bengie Molina Article Revision

Hello, thanks for your help with my revision to the Bengie Molina article. As he was awarded the Willie Mac Award, I am simply curious as to why the revision was made to delete the addition to a category, which I had created, where none currently exists and likely should? I am hoping you could help answer this, for my own curiosity, thanks.

Lol. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 03:46, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly notable. Who could forget his 1999 season with the Claymores? Lizard (talk) 03:55, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

All-Pro

Shouldn't we get some consensus for what All-Pro teams to list in the infoboxes and All-Pro pages. The recent articles (ex. 2015 All-Pro Team) have Pro Football Focus in the lead but the PFF team isn't actually listed. Someone removed them. I'm not sure what qualifies and what doesn't. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 01:03, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah definitely. There shouldn't be any inconsistencies with these.--Yankees10 09:31, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How do we decide though? WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 14:11, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This gets confusing on which to include or not just like the with the college football All-American teams. Personally if it was up to me i'd just stick with AP, PFWA and SN and not include PFF. PFF doesn't get the wide recognition yet as the others.--Yankees10 18:43, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I had added PFF a few months ago, based on what Pro-Football-Reference lists, then some IP came around claiming there was consensus not to include PFF years ago, but I never found that consensus. But I did find that the NFLPA collective bargaining agreement in 2011 (see page 101) recognized the AP, PFWA/PFWA, Sporting News, and Sports Illustrated as "veteran media". This seems to be what the "consensus" decided, but I've never seen Sports Illustrated listed. Lizard (talk) 18:51, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you meant to say PFW/PFWA. Yh, I don't see Pro Football Weekly included either. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:30, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PFW and PFWA are basically the same. Pro Football Weekly is published by the PFWA I think. Lizard (talk) 19:47, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cook

I thought the navboxes were only for regular season. This is a rare case indeed. What shall we do? WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:35, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He should be there as he did start. We could add a # sign and say that it was a postseason start, however I'm not sure we should be taking up space in the template for that.--Yankees10 21:42, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think we included postseason before. Joe Webb just has (2010), he's missing the playoff start in 2012. I guess in the case of Osweiler and Savage, it doesn't really matter which one says "present" though. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:45, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think Dissident normally deals with these. Lizard (talk) 21:47, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the Raiders starting quarterback navbox? We have Matt Cassel as a "starter" for the Bills in 2015, due to him taking the first snap of the season in a trick play. But on the other hand, the NFL does not officially include postseason starts as part of a player's career start total, so if we follow how they do it, Cook shouldn't belong. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 00:22, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• It wouldn't be a big deal if we included postseason because cases like Webb and Cook are very few. Most people who start a playoff game started at least one regular season game that year too. And a lot of the QB lists on here have the postseason starters. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 22:15, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Raiders starting quarterbacks template

Connor Cook IS NOT considered a starting quarterback yet because he did not start in the regular season. He did make a start in the postseason, but he is not considered a starting quarterback on the team. -MON5T3ER (RoyalsLife) — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoyalsLife (talk • contribs) 21:00, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

La O

I think his last name is just La O (you can move it back if u disagree) and Yander part of his first/middle name. Weirdest name ever! We'll know more when he gets a MLB.com page/see alpha order. 24.162.134.57 (talk) 05:27, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

U can see in the body of this article refer to him as La O but the accompanying video is too fuzzy to see his last name on the back of his jersey. Ur opinion? 24.162.134.57 (talk) 05:37, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

His B-R page lists him as Luis Yander (Camacho) Yander. I'm confused. 24.162.134.57 (talk) 05:46, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Could Yander be part of his first/middle name and last name!! 24.162.134.57 (talk) 05:57, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

U can see here de la O last name. But can't find just La O. 24.162.134.57 (talk) 06:14, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

These Cuban names can get real confusing sometimes. I won't make any changes until he gets an MLB.com page.--Yankees10 07:08, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can't wait for the season to be over. I've never seen vandalism that heavy. This is what I imagine the edit history on Trump's page would be like if it was unprotected for 30 minutes. Lizard (talk) 02:55, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wish we had a football editor admin that would right away be able to protect the page instead of having to wait until the nonsense gets this far.--Yankees10 03:03, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've been letting them hear it. Wikipedia talk:Requests for page protection#1,276 admins. As expected, they avoided the actual problem and went off into admin-speak. Lizard (talk) 03:10, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here's all the admins in WP:NFL: User:BU Rob13, User:Cbl62, User:Cholmes75, User:Eagles247, User:Go Phightins!, User:Gonzo_fan2007, User:Jayron32, User:Rlendog, User:VegaDark, User:Wizardman, User:Zzyzx11. And I may have missed some. I hope you don't mind me pinging all of them, because they need to be aware of what happens when a player gets called for holding in a playoff game. Lizard (talk) 05:14, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm home now, so I'm grabbing some of these. When I got this ping (and a couple others), I was on a bus home from Wikipedia Day NYC and on mobile only, so I couldn't do much. We need more admins, badly, but few editors on the "front lines" are running. We've done a better job recruiting niche editors or long-time content creators as admin candidates in the past month, but we're still struggling to get counter-vandalism editors to run for and pass RfA. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 06:16, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My intentions were mainly to point out that we had 11 admins in WP:NFL, and to suggest that at least one of them be on standby next week for the conference championships. The vandalism was insane this week, it'll be worse next week. WP:RFPP has been criminally slow lately; protection coming three hours later isn't gonna cut it. We need an admin who could respond immediately when vandalism on a page goes haywire. Lizard (talk) 06:32, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yankees10: Have you ever considered running? You have the tenure, the edits, the experience, a clean block log (for at least seven years), and, in my experience, the temperament. I haven't the time to do a full review, but I would encourage you to submit your name here to potentially get some feedback and throw your hat in the ring. Anyway, with regard to this specific issue, I am well aware of the amount of vandalism that can happen on articles when a subject does something noteworthy (or not, in this case). It's one of the reasons I hate the MLB Trade Deadline. But, it's the price we pay for being an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. I'd encourage following up on the proposals discussed at WP:RFPP about noting BLPs and the number of edits made recently. I can try to be available at least for some of next Sunday evening. Go Phightins! 15:14, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I'd want to be one. It would be nice for situations like this, but i'm not sure sure i'm interested in the other responsibilities.--Yankees10 18:12, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pro Bowl

Does being a Pro Bowler even mean anything. Like 75% of the league gets invited lol. Just looking looking at the AFC QBs, 13 out of the 16 teams could have had their starter be a Pro Bowler. The following list is in order of passing yards.

• Philip Rivers (accepted invite)
• Joe Flacco (not sure he had an invite but why not, he had the 2nd most yards in the AFC, not like Siemian's numbers are way better)
• Andrew Luck (declined invite due to injury)
• Andy Dalton (accepted invite)
• Derek Carr (selected on ballot but injured and will not play)
• Blake Bortles (same as Flacco, not like Siemian's numbers are way better)
• Ben Roethlisberger (selected on ballot but injured and will not play)
• Tom Brady (selected but team is in Super Bowl)
• Alex Smith (accepted invite)
• Marcus Mariota (injured before Pro Bowl invites started, so he could not have been invited unless he was selected on the original ballot, his numbers are way better than Siemian's)
• Trevor Siemian (declined invite due to surgery)
• Tyrod Taylor (declined invite due to surgery)
• Ryan Tannehill (injured like Mariota, and not like his numbers are that much different from Taylor or Siemian, Tannehill's might be better since he played in fewer games)
• Ryan Fitzpatrick (no invite, 12 TD 17 INT)
• Brock Osweiler (no invite, 15 TD 16 INT)
• Browns QBs (no invite)

For the record, the NFC side isn't as bad. The five players currently listed on the 2017 Pro Bowl page are the only ones who were invited as far as I can tell. The AFC had too many declined invites and injuries. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 18:44, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's so bad. I haven't watched it in years. Where living in a world where two Pro Bowl quarterbacks threw 15 (Alex Smith) and 18 touchdowns (Dalton). Those numbers wouldn't even have gotten you in the Pro Bowl in the 1970's when they were throwing the ball only 25 times a game. In today's pass happy NFL those numbers are embarrassing...and they're in the damn Pro Bowl.--Yankees10 18:59, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bridgewater last year was worse. 14 TDs, 9 INTs, lol. Also, Dalton's numbers were way better last year and he didn't make the team. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:03, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh god, I forgot Bridgewater made it. Atrocious. And somehow Stafford's 2011 (5,038, 41 touchdowns) wasn't good enough.--Yankees10 19:08, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As ironically an IP just falsely added that he did make it to his infobox.--Yankees10 19:10, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weird lol. Also, the bad thing is people look at Pro Bowls and automatically think it's an accomplishment. It is for the players on the original ballot most of the time. But some of the replacement's don't deserve it. But when people look back at their careers, they say stuff like "Pro Bowl QB Teddy Bridgewater" and they might not realize he only made the team because 10 people declined invites or were injured. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:16, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. It's a meaningless honor at this point. Maybe it meant something at one time, but now its so watered down and useless.--Yankees10 19:30, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Friendly reminder that Vince Young has as many Pro Bowls as John Riggins and Ray Nitschke combined. Lizard (talk) 20:17, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9: Check out LT's non-Pro Bowl season in 2003. Lizard (talk) 13:57, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That was his 100 receptions season no less.--Yankees10 18:21, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If they picked before the final game like they do now, the voters missed that 243-yarder. But here were the AFC running backs that season: Jamal Lewis who had over 2,000 yards, Priest Holmes who scored 27 rushing touchdowns, and Clinton Portis who had almost the same rushing yards as LT but played 3 less games. Also it didn't help that the Charges went 4–12. Lizard (talk) 18:32, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Advanced metrics"

Is this supposed to be football's sabermetrics? Most of this stuff is Greek to me and has no value to the average reader. That one guy's getting annoying. I always wonder what goes through an editor's mind when all their edits get reverted and they truck along continuing to make the same edits. Are they oblivious? Do they just not care? It's one of the great mysteries of the human race. Lizard (talk) 23:22, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm always amazed at that too. You think they'd get the hint. But no I guess.--Yankees10 23:38, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

i agree. advanced metrics are more sophisticated stats akin to sabermetrics. i'm personally interested in collaborating with User:Lizard the Wizard and User:Yankees10 to incorporate remarkable info into wikipedia's pro football player pages only when the information is noteworthy or newsworthy, particularly interesting to the average fan, and includes a trustworthy source reference. i see User:Lizard the Wizard and User:Yankees10 are doing an excellent job curating many of the pro football player pages. i love wikipedia and i love football stats. is there a specific protocol that i can follow to contribute to these pages while ensuring my work is not reverted by an established page curator?

i also noticed a reversion comment questioning playerprofiler as a source. i have yet to encounter an incorrect stat on one of the playerprofiler pages and believe it has become the authoritative source for many interesting stats and metrics such as catch radius, deep ball accuracy, yards after contact, etc. unlike much of sabermetrics, i believe many football metrics are straightforward concepts that are consumable and interesting to the average reader. for example, i believe many patriots fans would be interested to know that dion lewis leads the nfl in evaded tackles per touch over the last two seasons. also, for wikipedia users interested in learning more about football advanced metrics, i found this link, which lays out the origin and current source of numerous advanced stats: https://www.playerprofiler.com/terms-glossary/.-Mkelley78

Templates

Hey, i always thought pro over college? Am i wrong? If yes (any guideline?), i am sorry. (Current roster should still be the first template). Kante4 (talk) 18:07, 1 February 2017 (UTC) Kante4 (talk) 18:07, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well college comes first so that's why they are always listed as the top. As far as rosters going at the top, I've never seen that as being mandatory. It's usually the first or last depending on the article. Personally I don't care either way.--Yankees10 18:13, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, that's logical. But pro is, yeah like ahead of college. That's why i thought it should be at the top. But ok if i'm wrong. Kante4 (talk) 18:15, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're technically not wrong. I'm really just going based off what i've seen on other articles for consistency reasons, and most have it in this order. There's never been a formal discussion, as far as I know, about what order they should be in (and there probably shouldn't be considering how minor of an issue this is).--Yankees10 18:22, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Sorry if i caused any problems. Kante4 (talk) 18:23, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Don't be. There's zero problems here. Keep up the good work with the Packers articles.--Yankees10 18:27, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are you ready?

We should do prop bets with vandalism tonight. Over/under 10 instances of a player being another player's "daddy." Over/under 3 different players being the "GOAT." How many seconds between the first big hit of the game and the player who was tackled having their death_date field filled out? Lizard (talk) 20:07, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't as bad as I thought, except Malcolm Butler (American football). Single-handedly battled an idiot on that page for like 15 minutes. Lizard (talk) 06:38, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Was pleasantly surprised when I came to my watchlist after the game and the damage wasn't too bad. I thought Dan Quinn's article for sure was gonna be ugly, shocked that it didn't even have to be protected.--Yankees10 19:56, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for correcting me on the Toby Keith/Paul Wall sentence. I really should have put that in the sandbox and looked at it first. It wasn't very notable, I was just overthinking it.[[D-free]] (talk) 10:58, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

For this. I've been dealing with this since the name change, and before that I'd been reverting people saying Johnny Unitas' jersey is retired by the Baltimore Colts. I wish they'd take a second to actually think about how it makes no sense for the jersey of a team that no longer exists to be retired. Technically every Baltimore Colts jersey is retired. Lizard (talk) 18:07, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Reyes

I'm not understanding your objection to having a line mentioning and linking to the other players who have had Tommy John surgery. besides Alex Reyes. If the additional information is accurate, not contentious and contains a wiki link, why do you feel the arbitrary need to remove the line, in the quote below? Could you possibly explain the reasoning or rule that has you so upset that it can't be there for those who want to see the listing? There are those who wonder if he is unusual in having it as a rookie and only 22, so the link gives them direct access to the list. That's the reason why I included it, so I hope it will explain and refute your unusual objection in smearing it ("this is silly", "still no reason to have this") as you did in your comments, which I thought was out-of-line for such an innocent addition. I would appreciate it if you would reassess your arbitrary deletion and re-add it. Thanks. "He is among many other players who have had the surgical procedure." Oye289 (talk) 05:00, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If I may ask, what makes his removal of said link any more arbitrary than your addition of it? If it wasn't there to begin with, doesn't that make its absence the default, and thus its inclusion "arbitrary"? Lizard (talk) 05:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your point is illogical for a reason for anyone to ever add anything to an existing article, by your definition of arbitrary. On the other hand, deletion of something added should be only for a solidly valid reason such as inaccuracy or invalid source. Oye289 (talk) 19:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's oddly placed and really doesn't add much. Would work better in a "See also" section.--Yankees10 07:00, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see it the way you do as "oddly placed" or somehow a wrongful addition of information. However, I am glad to see you suggest an alternate way (that you won't delete) that I did not see, which is just another way of adding that same information that you initially objected to. Oye289 (talk) 19:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Teddy Bridgewater

I referenced Bridgewater's college QBR (a popular QB efficiency metric) and included a link to the QBR wiki page to provide additional context. I am investing significant time into contributing interesting information, and try to be self aware, but here I don't see where/how I err'd. I sincerely concerned about wasting time and energy while simultaneously creating work for you... Can you briefly explain why the contribution was reverted?Mkelley78 (talk) 15:13, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This stuff isn't notable that's why it's being removed. And that website is not a good source. All it is is a knockoff of Pro Football Focus and shouldn't be used.--Yankees10 17:42, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree with this opinion. For example, QBR is widely used by ESPN and is considered noteworthy to many mainstream sports media members and Wikipedia users. Additionally, PlayerProfiler, like Pro Football Focus, is widely considered a trusted data source by advanced stats aficionados. I believe discrediting it as knockoff is unfair as I have been using the site for years and have yet to find unverifiable/inaccurate data. Furthermore, Pro Football Focus does not make it's data publicly available, so it cannot be referenced, and is therefore not a true comparison. For this reason, I believe PlayerProfiler deserved more mention on Wikipedia, not less. What more can I do to help to ensure that my contributions that reference PlayerProfiler are not removed in the future? Mkelley78 (talk) 16:57, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

season → annual

I'm thinking of moving all the NFL's seasonal leader lists from "List of National Football League season xxxx leaders" to "List of National Football League annual xxxx leaders." Not only because it's consistent with how the NBA and MLB do it, but it's also awkward wording. You wouldn't say "he was the NFL's season rushing yards leader five times," but you might say "he was the NFL's annual rushing yards leader five times." Figured I'd consult with you since you created a few of the pages and templates for the NFL. And then we'd need to go fix the names in those template and stuff. Lizard (talk) 20:59, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me.--Yankees10 21:36, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kinda torn on what to do with List of National Football League rushing champions. While they are considered "rushing champions" it might be better to name it "List of National Football League annual rushing yards leaders," for consistency and recognizability. Lizard (talk) 02:52, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I'd stick with "annual" for those reasons.--Yankees10 03:04, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is only one baseball player with the name Joe Jiménez so pitcher isn't necessary and the other Jimenez doesn't have an accent so I disagree.--Yankees10 01:21, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Off-season and/or practice squad member only"

Deleting external web links

I am the manager for NFL linebacker Dekoda Watson and I updated is Wikipedia page to have links to his Facebook and instagram profile. But those links were deleted and it appears you made the last edit to the page. I am looking on visibility into why this change was made? En tourage01 (talk) 19:24, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, according to a policy (that I can't think of the name of), social media links are not supposed to be used in articles. Though I have seen them added and removed by numerous different people, so i'm not 100% sure.--Yankees10 19:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Draft info in intro

There is no need to have it in the header, you already have it in the infobox and also inside the article text. The header should give you a quick idea of the article, not the whole story Tecmo (talk) 01:41, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They apparently changed their minds and gave it to Andruzzi [2]. Belitnikoff is not listed on their website's list of winners [3] I tried finding their reasoning for changing but couldn't find anything.--Yankees10 16:49, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wow that's really weird. Lizard (talk) 17:31, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) I found a couple of pages listing them as co-winners for 2015: [4] [5] And they gave the award to each of them, per the ceremony videos at [6] and [7] (on the Andruzzi video, the host and Andruzzi both mention that there are two awardees). Why the website award page currently lists only one winner, I don't know.--Arxiloxos (talk) 18:35, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. I can't imagine they'd just outright change their mind after awarding it, unless they rescinded it, which doesn't seem to be the case. Lizard (talk) 19:26, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

LT

This stupidity is what that IP keeps adding to LT's page to try to make a point that he played for the Chargers when they were in San Diego. Check the page history over the past few months.

Recent Reversions

I had a great back and forth with User:Lizard_the_Wizard on my talk page regarding the general content restrictions enacted by NFL player page curators, and I have been following those guidelines above and beyond Wikipedia's general guidelines. To my dismay, I noticed a flurry of reversions rolling back many hours of notation work. I would appreciate it you could take a look at my talk page and respond with a general explanation for the reversions.Mkelley78 (talk) 20:34, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

None of the info you add is notable and the source is not reliable.--Yankees10 20:38, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

After significant due diligence on PlayerProfiler, I concluded it is reliable. Have you read objections to its citation? Have you encountered significant inaccuracies on the site? Regarding your second objection, the information reverted such as yards after the catch is both relatable to casual sports fans and noteworthy to more sophisticated sports information consumers.

The recent reversions conflict with wikipedia's stated reversion guidelines. These guidelines ensure that editors such as myself are not demoralized and driven off the platform by having their hard work deleted by others based on acute notion of relevancy or arbitrary notion of reliability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Revert_only_when_necessary

Communication is the key to avoiding conflict per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring. Please engage me on my talk page before making a reversion as I am always happy to talk about the content I'm providing to ensure that it resonates as much as possible with wikipedia readers.Mkelley78 (talk) 20:57, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You do a great service culling false information, opinions lacking citation, and original research from this platform, and you recently reverted one of my contributions deeming it not something the average person would find interesting. Wikipedia's mission is not to create an average information source, and as cited above, the documented standards for reverting contributions are higher than one editor's opinion of the average reader's sophistication and preferences. I will continue to strive to enhance the information on football player performances available on this platform. Mkelley78 (talk) 14:14, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed your recent reversions and concluded my contributions were noteworthy, relevant, and consumable to a wide audience. Beyond this point, your general reasoning for the original reversion conflicts with Wikipedia's stated reversion guidelines. Mkelley78 (talk) 19:05, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Mike Strong (baseball)

The article Mike Strong (baseball) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non notable minor league baseball player

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I've been removing those as well. Subsections should be kept to a minimum. If a player only played for one team there's no reason to have a "Professional career" section and a team section. And the "Combine" section usually only contains one or two sentences. Lizard (talk) 05:39, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Trevor Lawrence

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Trevor Lawrence requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Orlando Cepeda

Yo, Yankees10, Orlando Cepeda was a seven-time All-Star, 1959-1964 and 1967. Please get informed with the following reference and leave my correction in place. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cepedor01.shtml Dave Peters (talk) 05:54, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I beg your pardon; you're quite right.

Page update

Greetings,

I am Carlton Mitchell. I recently changed some information under the name Judah Punch but it was switched back to its original. How can we fix this?

I'd like to change "Free Agent" to "Retired"

And

"American football player" to Hebrew Isrealite football player.

I would also like to select a proper photo.

Please advise

Sincerely,

Carlton Mitchell.

I'm extremely upset considering I've wrote for MTSU Blue Raiders website since 2011. I've covered Kevin Byard the whole time. He text me last night asking me to upgrade his Wikipedia page. You have no right to delete anything that was fact on Byard. I wrote the stuff myself for years 2012,13,14,15 at MTSU that I redid on here,and I just started the awards. Stop deleting my stuff Yankee man or you will hear from our lawyer. JoshG23 (talk) 19:56, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rocco

The info you restored at Rocco Baldelli is misleading / inaccurate, which is why I updated it. He didn't play an official game in 2005. but was under contract with the (D)Rays and spent the season rehabbing, even played in some extended spring training games. Cutting that season out of the infobox entirely makes it look like he was out of baseball as a free agent, which was not the case. Also, he's been a coach of some sort in the Rays organization since his retirement, and the infobox should reflect that. And your edit summary made my point about his position - he played across the outfield. I'll go one further; Rocco made 28 total appearances in CF from 2006 to 2010 but 48 in RF or LF (and one at 3B with Boston, which must've been interesting). Listing him as an outfielder covers all the bases, as it were. Zeng8r (talk) 12:33, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Zeng8r: Per WP:Baseball consensus from a while back, seasons that a player did not appear in an MLB game do not appear in the infobox. Whether it be for injury, suspension, minors all season, whatever. It's the reason why Adam Wainwright's 2011 isn't there or A-Rods 2014. Adding 2010 for his coaching is misleading. We only add major league coaching jobs in the infobox and Baldelli has only done that since 2015. With regards to the position, we add the players primary position and center field was clearly his playing nearly 90% of his total games there. No reason for it not to say so in the infobox--Yankees10 17:16, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you revert the updated photo of Jimmy Garoppolo?

I updated the photo for Jimmy Garoppolo and you reverted the photo. Why? His old photo was from the Patriots. He is now with the 49ers. The photo I updated was him with the 49ers - why do you want to show a photo of him with the Patriots?

Because the picture of him with the Patriots is a much better picture.--Yankees10 00:46, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think his Patriots photo is very slightly better, but I do not believe it is significant enough to replace the photo. He is with the 49ers now and I think a photo of him in a 49ers uniform is what most people would expect to see on his Wiki page. I read in your user page and like you, I am neither a Patriots nor 49ers fan. So, my motivation to update this photo is not biased upon a fan perspective. Therefore, I respectfully disagree with your revert and request that you reconsider and reinstate my edit. --chipermc 01:25, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.

Your reverting of my changes on the Corey Clement page is seemingly not in good faith. I am local to the area from which he grew up and that is indeed a local nickname that people call him.

@Cfh294: The onus is on the editor adding the information to prove that it belongs in the article, and that there is a consensus for it. A random shmuck polling a few dozen people on Twitter proves nothing. And consensus is clearly against this addition as it's been reverted by three editors now.

Hi! Regarding this edit, it still makes sense for the character to get a redirect notice.

If the main character of a film doesn't get his/her own article, the character's name is supposed to redirect to that of the film.

Why?

Mitch Walding had played 658 minor league games at third base. And 2 at first base.

Milb.com describes him as a third baseman. They are the official site of minor league baseball. http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?player_id=605520#/career/R/hitting/2018/ALL

MLB.com describs him as a third baseman. They are the official site of minor league baseball. http://m.mlb.com/player/605520/mitch-walding?year=2018&stats=career-r-hitting-minors

Another editor already described him as they did -- as a third baseman.

Why did you change his article - which already described him as a third baseman - to call him instead an infielder? Why is your opinion here overriding that of mlb.com, milb.com, and the prior editor? Your edit summary doesnt say why. And whatever .. I think you should not override mlb.com, and should not override another editor without giving a reason that is a good one. --2604:2000:E010:1100:9848:50A0:48B3:889B (talk) 23:27, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and good evening. Why did you delete Vida Blue's stats line? I added hits, runs and earned runs and changed .3 to.1 to represent 1/3 of an inning, and all seemed correct. I don't mind when something is deleted when the statistics are incorrect, but they were correct. You can go to Baseball Reference and Retrosheet to verify the additions, but I feel guilty because my additions caused someone elses work to be entirely deleted.

Jim L Mora in navboxes

Yankees10, I saw your edits at Template:Atlanta Falcons coach navbox and Template:Seattle Seahawks coach navbox. If "Jim Mora" is his primary name, why is the article titled Jim L. Mora? Jweiss11 (talk) 02:41, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well i'm assuming that was an agreed to disambiguation from years ago to distinguish from his father. His common name is not Jim L. Mora so i'm not even sure why that's the title of the article.--Yankees10 02:46, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so it sounds like there needs to be discussion about naming of the articles Jim L. Mora and Jim E. Mora. Jweiss11 (talk) 02:48, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:MLB awards

I started adding more awards to Template:MLB awards, not realising it was for just the main/official MLB awards, which I don't think is the case for the ones I was intending to add. I have reverted my edits but I think it would be good to add some documentation to the template (even if just a sentence or two) to make the template's purpose clear. That should hopefully stop others from making the same mistake in future. I thought I'd contact you first to get your thoughts as you have been involved with this template and probably have a good idea of its intended purpose. Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 13:21, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and also, I wondered if we need a separate section or even a new navbox template to cover the other awards not currently listed in this template, such as the ones I was originally going to add, e.g. Edgar Martínez Award --Jameboy (talk) 13:24, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the documentation idea is a good one. As far as another section or navbox for the other awards, i'm not sure. There's a bunch of other awards that might make the template too long.--Yankees10 23:30, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Use of rollback

I see that you make very frequent use of rollback. Some of the times when you do so you are reverting obvious vandalism, but on a significant number of occasions that I have seen you are reverting good-faith edits that you disagree with. That is not in line with the criteria defined at Wikipedia:Rollback. Please make sure that you do not use rollback except in the situations where its use is sanctioned in that page, and whenever you are reverting good faith editing always give an explanation in an edit summary (or if a longer explanation is needed then on a talk page with a referral from an edit summary) no matter how strongly you think the editing you are reverting was mistaken.

Category:Boone family (baseball)

First off, if you're removing people from that category, you should add those people to the parent category Category:Boone family (pioneers), as each is part of that family.

Secondly, I'd like to contest the deletion of that category. There were only two votes for deletion (three if you count the admin who closed). That's not much of a durable consensus. And one guy based his deletion rationale on the category having three people when it in fact had four. Had I been aware of the discussion, participated, and voted "keep", the discussion wouldn't have been closed as delete. pbp 00:29, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of player from team list as not notable

Why did you make this deletion, asserting the player was in fact not a notable Mets minor leaguer. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New_York_Mets_minor_league_players&diff=870143437&oldid=870106684

As the text you deleted stated, both MLB Pipeline and MiLB.com have named him as the top Mets organizational minor leaguer at catcher. That certainly shows him to be a notable Mets minor leaguer in their view. Why is the Yankees10 view more important than their view?

Please restore him.

As to whether there is a redirect or not, I don't think it is the most important thing, but if someone wants to make it a redirect once you have restored it they will be able to do that.

I don't think your view here should be more important than that of MLB Pipeline and MiLB.com. --2604:2000:E010:1100:4DC6:EF46:3E54:91D4 (talk) 08:48, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Players that go on these pages need sourcing that suggest they are close or at least somewhat close to being notable enough for an article. It's not just for any random minor leaguers.-- Yankees10 17:54, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You refer to "any random minor leaguers." But that does not apply to this minor leaguer. As the sourcing indicates, and as I pointed out above, this minor leaguer has just been named by MLB Pipeline as the top Mets organizational leader at catcher. In addition, he has just been named by MiLB.com as the top Mets organizational leader at catcher. That means - both consider him, of all the catchers in the Major League team's minor league system, the very top catcher. That brings him out of the category of "random" that you write about. And puts him in the top tier.

Also - your redirect comment in your deletion edit summary misses the fact that IPs can and I understand regularly do have a normal "redirect requested" process. That's not a reason for you to delete the catcher. Even though you gave it as a reason in your edit summary.

Please restore what you deleted. If not, please open up discussion at a baseball talk board on wp, pointing to this discussion. So others can speak about whether they think it is right for you to substitute your personal (one editor) view, for the views that were footnoted to MiLB.com and MLB Pipeline. I don't think the view of any one editor should be more important than the views of footnoted respectable sources that are cited. 2604:2000:E010:1100:4DC6:EF46:3E54:91D4 (talk) 18:22, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Justin Bour

Hi Yankees10. Sorry to have upset you. Can we move past the reverts and focus on the discussions? This looks like a WP:CONLIMITED problem, where the template was created without regard to the larger consensus. Links should provide unique information per ELNO#1, and links should remain out of an article until there is consensus to include them per WP:ELBURDEN. Reverting when I have no idea if there is a consensus or not [13], certainly doesn't further any consensus-making. --Ronz (talk) 02:34, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh believe me i'm not upset I just find this ridiculous and a waste of time. I'll wait until others chime in at the WP:baseball talk page before reverting again, though I see no logical reasoning for you removing them again.-- Yankees10 02:39, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I used to find these disputes ridiculous as well, but I've learned that Wikipedia's such a big place that we cannot expect other editors will be familiar with the general consensus in all areas, or even most.

As I said, CONLIMITED problem. There's lots of templates like these that need cleanup. --Ronz (talk) 02:48, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring on Tommy Holmes

Would you be able to explain why you appear to be edit warring in a content dispute on Tommy Holmes? TheDragonFire (talk) 02:28, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The explanation is in the second edit summary. Final date is for regular season only. Appears to be resolved at this point.-- Yankees10 02:36, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this was unclear, but I was asking you to provide an explanation of why your five reverts fell under an exemption to the edit warring policy, not whether your edits are justifiable, which as you would well know is not a excuse. That you are now at 3 reverts in 24-hours and the other user has not reverted for 3 hours, does not mean the matter has been resolved. I now additionally need you to explain why your reverts met the criteria for use of rollback. TheDragonFire (talk) 04:08, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was correcting false information. The first use of rollback was out of assumption that it was vandalism because things like this are commonly changed to false info. After seeing the user add a reference I explained in the edit summary why it was reverted. The next uses of of the rollback were admittedly out of frustration that the person kept changing it. There was clearly better methods of going about this issue and unfortunately I didn't take them.-- Yankees10 05:01, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your deletions

Hello. I noticed you have removed from the intros of various MLB players the fact that they are the career active leaders in major league baseball in various categories. Like at bats per home run.

In your personal view, from some of your deletions where you left edit summaries (other times you deleted without any explanation, like it was vandalism, which obviously it was not, and even worse you used rollback tools to do that which is a no no), you seem to have the subjective view that the additions are not (in your opinion) "intro worthy." I disagree. They to me are worthy of a lede.

But at the very least, if you think that, why not just move the info to the 2018 section of each article?

That it seems to me would do less damage to the article and wikipedia than deleting it .. since your complaint was not about whether it is of interest to readers, but intro worthy. --2604:2000:E010:1100:A1C9:3376:1282:532D (talk) 18:32, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going to add any active leader info in the intro it should stick to traditional numbers like home runs or stolen bases, etc. I'm sorry but being third in stolen base percentage for example is not something that the general reader will care about, therefore it's not intro worthy. As far as adding to the body, "As of's" generally sit their for years without updating so that's why I generally don't support even adding it to the body.-- Yankees10 18:45, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yankees10 - thanks for restoring my comment and answering it. (I didn't want to edit war w the editor who delete it - but he's now following me around and deleting my talk page comments elsewhere and reverting my appropriate edits and leaving warnings I can't understand the basis for on my talk page.) On the substance, I can understand how we have different views on the edges, though I think that the fact that someone for example is Number 1 of all current active MLB players in stolen base percentage is perfectly good information for the lede. More relevant than what we put in, actually .. differentiating whether they were picked in round three or round four of a draft, and whether it was the 2011 draft or the 2012 draft. It seems to me that a casual reader would be far more interested in learning -- wow! - he has the best stolen base percentage of the hundreds of current ballplayers, in his entire career!. But I guess we can have different views. I would hope that if it is is not in the lede at least it could be in the body, for the same reasons, while I do see the possibility that it can stay there for years (more likely, than it is in the lede, but you don't like it in the lede). I don't think deleting it entirely is making wikipedia better. Just the opposite. Is there a compromise? Thanks. And again - thanks for restoring the post that the drive by editor deleted for reasons I cannot understand. Sadly, he's just getting worse now .. 2604:2000:E010:1100:A1C9:3376:1282:532D (talk) 21:43, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Crowder

Good afternoon, I created the article Tom Crowder, who was one of the best special teams players in the history of the University of Arkansas. He spent 2 years in the NFL mainly on the practice squad. Although he was promoted one year to the regular roster, he was not activated to play in the NFL. He also played in NFL Europe. The problem is that because he never played one game in the NFL, the article was deleted.

I wanted to ask you if there is another way that somebody else can push the creation of this article ?, maybe they will have better luck. I can provide all of the content so they can review and make the changes required. Regards Tecmo (talk) 23:50, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm not sure I have an argument to dispute the deletion. They said that a football player needs to play at least one NFL game or have something that distinguished him in college. This player was not an All-American.Tecmo (talk) 02:50, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Smoky Burgess

Since you've been around a while, I won't template you. Who do you think you are that you can repeatedly (three times now) change information contrary to a reliable source (New York Times), and then LIE about what's in the source? Here is a direct quotation from the NYT article: "Forrest (Smoky) Burgess, who formerly held the major league career record for pinch-hits, died Sunday at Rutherford Hospital." NOWHERE in the article is there a reference to Asheville. And if you will look at the hospital's website [14], you will clearly see that it is located in Rutherfordton. Now, I assume that this settles the matter, because if it doesn't, we'll be discussing edit warring, unsourced edits, and misrepresenting a source in an edit summary at WP:ANI. In fact, you need to revert your edit and get it right or we'll just go ahead and begin the discussion. I'll give you 24 hours. And since this WP:OWN issue seems to be a pattern for you, some of us will be following your edits for a while. And please. Don't try to lie your way out of this. You've been caught red-handed; cut your losses and move on. If you had mistakenly made the edit ONCE, I would have fixed it and left the issue alone. But three reverts and a lie is unacceptable. What you didn't count on is that someone who actually knew Smokey might visit his article. You have 24 hours to fix the article, and don't claim in the edit summary that it was an honest mistake. It was a lie. Thank you. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 22:54, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't lie about anything. Baseball Reference and Baseball Almanac say Asheville. I'd reply to the rest of this nonsense, but I'm not gonna waste my fucking time.-- Yankees10 23:19, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you lied. You didn't bother to look at the NYT article, which I repeatedly pointed out stated Rutherfordton, and you never cited any other source. Fix the article. I suggest that you not take your "fucking time." I'm serious. I'll be happy to go ahead and take this to ANI. You can easily save face in this situation. Just quietly fix the article, and we'll be done with it assuming you don't get caught in any other misbehavior. But if you want to be stubborn about this, you may regret it. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 23:30, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is unreal. I have no idea why you are so worked up about this minor thing. You absolutely need to read Wikipedia:Assume good faith and Wikipedia:Civility. Maybe even read them twice because this is just ridiculously over the top.-- Yankees10 00:26, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring, repeatedly reverting for no reason, and lying are not a "minor thing." I'm quite familiar with AGF and Civility. You lost those privileges when you repeatedly reverted a legitimate edit THREE TIMES despite being repeatedly told that the edit was properly sourced. What you may find is "over the top" is when you must defend yourself at ANI. As I said, this can be very simple, unless you decide to dig your heels in and not budge. I don't plan to repeatedly go back and forth here. I've made it quite clear what you can do, and doing it will be a very simple process for you. All you have to do is simply revert your edit to the properly sourced information that was already in the article. So if you have nothing of substance to add beyond your defensiveness, this is my final message to you. You now have 22 hours. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 00:37, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to remind you that you do not own the Thames article. You reverted well sourced content twice based upon your personal opinion.

Edits to Cubs player pages

Greetings. I noticed that you deleted several edits that I made to recent Cubs player pages. I’ve found that a number of Cubs pages, especially for relief pitchers, need updating. While we may disagree about what is notable or not, this is a project I would like to take on. As such, I need some leeway to make gradual updates to each profile.

My updates may appear piecemeal, but I can’t do them all at once.

If you have any suggestions on how to improve the quality of the edits, please advise. But I ask that they not be deleted wholesale.

Proper information for Player intro paragraph

Hello again. Regarding your undoing my deletion of a lone ASG appearance in Brad Brach’s intro, please elaborate on your standard here. I agree that an ASG appearance should be discussed in the body of the article (in the relevant season), but a lone appearance carries insufficient weight for a player’s intro. Other than basic player info (name, birth, position, teams), I believe the only information compelling enough for the intro is perennial all-star status, titles, sufficiently important records, and major non-sports related news

Is there a template on what should (not) be included in an athlete’s intro paragraph? Thank you. Tpburnham (talk) 03:57, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The intro's purpose is to sum up a persons key info. Making an All-star is a pretty important thing. There's not much reason for it not to be there.-- Yankees10 04:04, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Josh Smith and Josh Smith

Hi - I wanted to suggest for Josh Smith (baseball, born 1987) and Josh Smith (baseball, born 1989) it would be clearer to make the dabs "right-handed pitcher" and "left-handed pitcher", respectively. A current example of this, while I find helpful, is Eduardo Rodríguez (left-handed pitcher) and Eduardo Rodríguez (right-handed pitcher). Thoughts? Thanks.

Larry Dierker Page Update

Back on May 23, you reverted some edits I made to Larry Dierker's Page, stating that Wikipedia is not an ad. I definitely don't want to post that information as an ad, but I do want to communicate that he has pursued other things in his later career. Do you have any recommendations on what content should be removed that would make it seem like it isn't an ad? I've reviewed the guidelines and I'm still not 100% sure. Here's the original content:

In 2017, Dierker teamed up with Benjamin Scardello of Houston, Texas to promote over 500 original and unique Baseball Stories Dierker had researched, written and recorded between 1982 and 1995. The stories contain information starting from the early days of baseball around 1900.

The two agreed to a digital entrepreneur endeavor to build a Podcast Website, www.49sfastball.com, converting the Baseball Stories into easily accessible Podcasts. The stories include a wide range of subjects and little known “back story” narratives about Players, Stadiums, Records, Promos and Unusual Events, Pitching, Openers and Debuts, Hitting, and All-Star Games.

The Podcasts can be heard on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, AnyPod, Stitcher, Tune In, and Soundcloud.

In addition to the Podcasts, other relevant baseball information is available on the website including, Current Blog Articles, a Vast MLB Resources Section linking visitors to all of the top baseball websites, including colligate baseball. There’s even a “Contests and Prizes” section where participants can win MLB Baseball memorabilia.

Podcast Website Address: www.49sFastball.com Content: Iconic Baseball Podcast Stories Library & More Current Podcast Inventory: ~500 Historical Perspective: from the 1900s to 1995 Copyright: 49sFastball

As a co-founder with Scardello of 49sFastball.com, Dierker continues to provide new content for the website and is an active speaker, spokesperson, and proactive with philanthropic causes. Both Dierker and Scardello look to advance and promote the interest in our National Past Time by providing a look at baseball from a different time and a unique perspective.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read.

Look at the infoboxes:

Those top two guys have 3,000 of course it's going to go in the infobox. The others have over 2,000 which has been treated as a unofficial minimum tho there's never been a consensus for it as far as I know.

It’s on Devin’s Texas Football page, on Devin’s NFL Draft profile, in many news articles and etc so I didn’t initially add it thinking it might actually be common knowledge? I was clearly wrong... I also updated it to say he “was” on Texas football team instead of “is” on the team. If there’s anything else that needs to be changed/updated let me know and feel free to help out! Thanks my friend!

Subjectivity: MLB; big league(s); major league(s)

I have learned from you. I cannot figure out how to successfully approach any level of pleasing your seemingly random requests. Are you a writer (of any notoriety)? Allowing that you are and given your pre-existing knowledge that we are to alternate between proper names or pronouns (you’ve no doubt seen my past citations for he-he-he’s, etc.), what breaks from protocol in the course of a written piece by alternating MLB, big league(s), and Major league(s)? I don’t know if I’ve ever shared my C.V. with you, but it’s extensive. I’ll just try to stay here on the bottom rung of the ladder and pray for you to shine in whatever capacity you choose. I’ll choose my battles and maintain my good humor. But I’ll do my best to enlighten you as to why I do anything I do, anytime. —Your loyal subject,

It is removed automatically by the script - User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM dates. If it shouldn't be then I suggest you raise it with the script creator. GiantSnowman 06:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not blindly revert and add back inconsistent date formats, in violation of WP:DATEUNIFY, as you have done at Hank Aaron.

Recent Pictures

Hi,

I noticed that you removed some images of NFL players that I recently added. I don't think that the images that I uploaded violate any copy write rules because they were taken by federal agencies.

Need opinion of someone that has been there

Hello! I was going through Calvin Johnson's page and adding some references. I noticed on Pro-Football-Reference.com's Play Index that it was going to be moved at some point in the future. That could cause a lot of heartburn on going through some references that are from the Index and trying to correct later on. I figured that I can archive some of those Play Indexes if those remain suitable. It will be quiet an endeavor but some of those tasks just are on here. It got me thinking about the InternetArchiveBot. It can automatically assign a archived link to references missing the backup. Is this alright to run on some articles? The reason I am asking is that on the last edit I made to Johnson, it added over 20,000 bytes of data to the page. I do not want to cause grief on many articles by doing this. I welcome any and all advice. Red Director (talk) 18:58, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Red Director: I'm honestly not too sure about whether this would be alright or not. Might be able to get more definitive responses at WP:NFL.-- Yankees10 23:15, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yankees10: I applied it on a few and it is a problem, I can revert or another user can. I won't make it into a big project. Seems like it could be way more trouble than it is worth on the grander scale. I do need to archive the Play Indexes as I come across them as the host is being moved to a paid-for site. Those are numerous but it is doable in doses. Thanks for the response. Red Director (talk) 00:24, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NFL navboxes

Regarding [20]. Yeah I know. Thanks for the feedback. I thought this was going to be fairly straight forward until I started over-thinking the way some of them looked. One you reverted Template:Indianapolis Colts coach navbox, for example, now looks like it's saying the coaches have "played" in Baltimore. --DB1729 (talk) 23:13, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I favor the "Formerly the XXX" format. I think its the most straight forward and simple to understand. But anyways I like this idea instead of the "/" in the title formatting and surprised it was never done before now-- Yankees10 23:26, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You've must have read my mind. I think "Formerly" is the best option, and happens to be the example I used at the NFL Project page. I will change them soon. Alright if I link this section in my edit summaries? --DB1729 (talk) 23:29, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blurry Yankees photos

I noticed someone changed a bunch of Yankees/former Yankees infobox photos to blurry screenshots from YES instead of the clear photos of them in the field. I just got done undoing a bunch of Nets players who had the same issue (guy literally changed in-game shots to press conference photos WHERE THEY WERE MASKED). My guess is we can switch back the photos but should I start a thread in Wikiproject Baseball just to establish a consensus to be sure and to point to if someone tries to switch them back.

About Carlos Beltran

Unexplained I was trying to help why I can't add this to the Carlos Beltran when he was forced out why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rgalo10 (talk • contribs) 05:16, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I read it on the bottom page it saids On November 1, 2019, the Mets hired Beltrán as their manager to replace Mickey Callaway, signing him to a three-year contract with a club option for a fourth year.[140][141][142] However, on January 16, 2020, before Beltrán ever managed a game, he and the Mets mutually agreed to part ways after he was the only then-player called out by name for his role in the Houston Astros sign stealing scandal.[143] It is one of the few known instances in MLB's history that a manager has been forced out before ever managing a regular season game. Rgalo10 (talk) 05:27, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't remove my contribution for no reason.

Hi. I am a user who contributed to Bill Dickey. I edited this page, with two bases.

1. You can find this sentence in this image. ".... PLAYED WITH YANKEES, CHAMPIONS OF 1932-36-37-38-39-41-42-43. WHEN CLUB WON 7 WORLD SERIES ... "(But I think 42 is wrong. The champion of 1942 is Cardinals, not Yankees.)

2. https://www.mlb.com/player/bill-dickey-113340. MLB.com's record of MLB players.

, '1928, 49~53, 56' are not recorded on these two bases. And the pages also says that his career ended in 1946 and that he was only with the Yankees in 1946 as a manager. Then how could he have won after 1946? Is it possible?

But you removed my contribution, which is understood to me as "the official record is wrong." So, I ask you for an understandable basis that the official data is wrong. Thanks. 221.143.186.6 (talk) 19:46, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Independent Baseball Leagues

Hello,

I was the guy who you undid all his edits to the players in the American Association with Wikipedia pages. I was just curious why don’t we include their time on those teams. Because we include time spent in the NPB and KBO. Any answer would work fine for me and I will remember that for future reference. ParkerLyme (talk) 02:56, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ParkerLyme: It's been a while since the discussion at WP:Baseball, but I believe the reasoning was because we wanted to have only fully professional league teams in the infobox and not minor league teams or Independent since they aren't as notable. Also players from that league don't automatically pass WP:NBASE, so that has something to do with it. -- Yankees10 03:55, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Really?

[21] Strikes me as kind of an odd standard? To me, it seems more confusing to exclude those years in the middle for a reader ... he was still a member of the team those intervening seasons. Is this written down somewhere? I know we don't list years in infoboxes if they never play in a game (or sometimes they get the * for being an offseason member only), but this seems like a kind of silly approach. Unless I'm missing something? Not a huge deal in any case; was just curious if you happened to know the origin of this approach. Hope you're well! All the best, Go Phightins! 00:02, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Go Phightins!: Sorry for the late response. Had a crazy weekend. I'm not sure about the origin/original discussion, but I know it's just been done this way for a long time. Maybe someone at WP:baseball might be able to find the original consensus?-- Yankees10 23:25, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries on either front. It's not a huge deal ... just strikes me as a little odd. Honestly it probably happens in so few cases it's not worth rehashing. Hope you're doing well -- Go Phightins! 23:26, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle Ryan and Brailyn Márquez

Hello, Yankees10,

I just wanted to clarify something about editing baseball players. Because I am just curious since you removed the part of Kyle Ryan and Brailyn Márquez being in the Cubs organization. Aren’t you supposed to change it to in the team’s organization because they are no longer in the Major League Squad? I know both are on the 40-man so, I don’t know if that changes anything. Again just double checking. 👍🏻 ParkerLyme (talk) 03:41, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minor League BLP style guide

Hey, if you don’t mind, could you provide a link to the Minor League BLP style guide? I looked for it a while back, but could never find it. I enjoy editing minor league and obscure player articles, so that would be a big help.

Also, on a separate note, why is the “40-40 club” not considered a career highlight in the MLB player infobox? It’s arguably the most exclusive group in all of baseball. I only ask because the “50-40-90 club”(a comparable and equally elusive feat) is considered a career highlight in the NBA player infobox.

I hope my message doesn’t come off as rude or argumentative, as I’m genuinely just curious. I hope all is well! Thank you! MiddleAgedBanana (talk) 03:34, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Darrick Forrest moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Darrick Forrest, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

American Association 2021 season

Hey, Yankees10,

I was wondering if it is possible if we could create pages for the American Association seasons starting this season and going forward. I don’t know if that breaks Wikipedia guidelines or not. I asked a couple other people if they are interested. But I am not sure how to create a page so if it is possible I need someone to help create it. With standings and stats I could handle. Once again I don’t know if it works under Wikipedia guidelines so I wanted to ask you since you seem to have the most experience. ParkerLyme (talk) 15:22, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ParkerLyme: I don't know much about that league but I can try to help you with questions you have.-- Yankees10 17:23, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t know if the Wikipedia guidelines prohibit anyone from making a American Association 2021 season page. Because I know you can’t include independent teams on a players history so, I didn’t know if anyone could make a season page for a independent league. ParkerLyme (talk) 17:25, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not too sure either. Might be best to ask at WP:baseball.-- Yankees10 17:43, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Immaculate Innings

Hey, Yankees10,

I noticed that you removed the addition of immaculate innings from certain players' highlights pages and I was wondering if that means that it shouldn't be included in any players Highlights pages. If so do we need to remove it from the pages of players such as Max Scherzer or Chris Sale?

@Drdrepepper: Yes per Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Player style advice that is not a highlight we include in infoboxes.-- Yankees10 16:44, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DeForest Buckner reversion

Hey there, can you please elaborate why you reverted the update image on Buckner? He's is in his second season with Colts, shouldn't his profile picture be updated reflect that? The image is sourced and credit, the only challenge I had was centering it within the infobox, which can is a minor fix. Can you please justify your rollback?

I agree a Colts image would be better. But that image will more than likely be deleted.-- Yankees10 21:19, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pedroia / Red Sox HOF

Hi — I could go either way on including Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in Pedroia's infobox now, but I expect we're going to see it get added by other editors. The team last had an induction ceremony in 2018, and since then announced five inductees in a Class of 2020, but haven't had the induction ceremony yet (certainly seems COVID-delayed). Pedroia is the first person identified as a Class of 2022 inductee. Dmoore5556 (talk) 01:29, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I mean we usually don't include these things until they become official official not just announced. I highly highly doubt anything is going to happen between now and the official induction but you never know.Yankees10 01:37, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's fine. Folks headed to Cooperstown get an "incoming" descriptor (still there for Derek Jeter), so if other editors start adding the Red Sox HOF to Pedroia's infobox, adding "(incoming)" might be workable. Dmoore5556 (talk) 03:29, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Daily edits

Sorry about that. Reference edits are generally some of the more time-consuming ones in regard to tidying for me at least. One reference alone just involves checking to add/double check authors, source dates, access dates, dead link, adding archive etc. I can adjust this on my end by adding more to single edits and not be a problem going forward. Thanks for all you do on this platform regarding sports articles. Red Director (talk) 00:00, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Red Director: Oh no, no need to apologize. I hope I didn't come off as hostile or anything. I was just honestly curious to why you chose to do it this way.-- Yankees10 00:05, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Yankees10: You are good! No good reason really other than to make tasks of cleaning up the references not so daunting. Some references are in terrible shape based on automation errors, link rot, article age, outdated formatting, etc. I will admit on this end that it is not the best system in the world. One perk of it is to help me monitor some players to check on what other editors are adding since I do not use a watchlist. Anyway, some of my next projects during this upcoming NFL season are going to try to go through some NFL articles to clean up some non-notable performances by players that may have snuck through or make the prose sound better.

Cody Bellinger

While I appreciate your edit, I am disappointed in the tone used in your edit summary (This is literally standard). The bulk of my work the past eight months has been on professional athlete articles, mostly in MLB, and all of my baseball GAs (and one FAC) have the abbreviation after the first introduction of Major League Baseball in the lede. Clearly this was a one-time mistake that I likely would have caught during my upcoming full-article sweep, not an intentional change that I plan on fighting. I can see how it would be taken that way, given that other users do make these changes, but I was hoping that, in the context that I am a regular editor working on a large-scale revision of Bellinger, that it would be understood that this is one of those simple oversights that occur during prose expansion rather than a deliberate change. — GhostRiver 17:30, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. The harsh tone was unnecessary. I was just involved recently with a disagreement regarding "standards" that I just walked away from so I probably took it out a little bit on you. Again my apologies.-- Yankees10 17:50, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Santiago Casilla' Immaculate Inning from his career highlights section

I understand that you removed it with the rationale that "not an infobox highlight per Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Player style advice". Then in that case, shouldn't it also be removed from Kenley Jansen's and Max Scherzer's pages as well? (among other players too). I only posted it in Casilla's page because i figured that if other pitchers have immaculate innings listed in their "career highlights and awards section", then why shouldn't Casilla? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NotBobbyBrackins (talk • contribs) 18:50, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A couple orange links

Hello Yankees10,

I appreciate all the work you've put in, you have a seriously impressive list of contributions. While looking at your created articles I noticed a few links are disambiguous and I thought I'd point it out to you.

• Your page of Chris Smith (American football) is now Chris Smith (defensive end).
• Your page of Matt Johnson (American football) is now Matt Johnson (safety).
• In addition, on your created page, you have the word "crated" twice instead of created.

Thank you for creating Diego Castillo (infielder).

References that have scores, lists, order of merit and video do not pass as reliable sources for WP:NSPORT. (There have been changes to the notability guide for sports - you may wish to read WP:NSPORT ) To meet notability requirements, one more reference with significant coverage will suffice. Thank you.

Ways to improve Anderson Severino

Hello, Yankees10,

Thank you for creating Anderson Severino.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

What is needed are references from significant coverage about this player, and not their own words; in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS; that is your guide. Lists, Team rosters, pages listing matches and results, databases, Instagram, Soccerway, Facebook, none of these are reliable sources. (There have been changes to the notability guide for sports - see WP:NSPORT ) You may also read WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources. A more comprehensive guide is WP:SOURCES ... Providing sufficient references, ideally giving more information about this player, that meet these criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that this article is not suitable for inclusion.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Whitey Ford revert

why did you revert my good faith edit? if i'm not mistaken good faith edits shouldn't be withdrawn without consensus on the talk page. i never spoke to whitey, but i think he would have been very proud of the recognition.Mwinog2777 (talk) 00:44, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry the rollback was accidental. The reasoning was according to Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Player style advice these are the awards that go in the infobox.-- Yankees10 00:47, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was in the infobox; if it's ok with, i'll undo the revert, and add the year he was recognized.Mwinog2777 (talk) 00:56, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are misunderstanding. According to that link I provided the award you added does not go in the infobox. The body of the article is ok but not the infobox.-- Yankees10 01:09, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

aha, now i know. Monument park shouldn't be there either in that caes. it is already in the body of the aricle.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson

Hello Yankees10,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Rationale

The rationale, as is common with subsections, is the long length of the section. It is not true as you suggest that "there is no reason" for a subsection here. Further, the subsection can be anticipated to become even longer. 2603:7000:2143:8500:48BA:1048:F3AB:14EC (talk) 05:25, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

workoits

in regard to adding workouts, i feel that they may be necessary in the fact that we use the 2 year mark to differ from “free agent” and “former” player. with this being listed directly on the page it makes it just that much easier to determine that timeline. Bears247 (talk) 02:04, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But players have workouts with teams all the time. There's no reason to randomly mention these ones in articles. They have no long-term encyclopedic notability-- Yankees10 02:44, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

agreed they have no long term notability so I think that removing these once the two year mark hits would be easy enough. This is also important in instances when a player has been out of the league for years but then recieves a workout such as Kaepernick or Marcell Dareus. It is a justification for why they are still listed as “free agents” Bears247 (talk) 23:39, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CPBL

Just wondering when the CPBL teams stopped being added to info boxes? As recently as earlier this season they could be in them? Considering it is the top league in China just like the NPB to Japan and KBO to Korea it should be in as it is not an independent league such as Atlantic, Mexican, Japan independents etc. Not sure how the CPBL is any different than the NPB or KBO other than it isn't up to the same skill level it is not technically independent.

Doesn't make any sense to me like I said I don't see the difference as to how the KBO and NPB can be added but CPBL shouldn't be even though it's been in articles for years and can think of at least 20 articles off the top of my head that have CPBL info in the teams list. Now is the time for it to be enforced when that seems to have been the norm of adding them for the last however many seasons? Kingryan227 (Decrees • Acts) 00:18, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification. In your edit summaries, it would be helpful then to simply state "Per MOS:INFONAT" instead of just leaving it blank. Also no need to remind a veteran editor of AGF. I did not claim you were being disruptive. In fact I came here to ask about it instead of reverting, which is a GF move. I was only saying the removal can appear disruptive when done with a blank edit summary. Thank you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 19:07, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking to improve my Wikipedia contributions, however infrequent. Why did you revert my addition?

I can see that you did not revert or did not notice someone else adding the same reference link some days later: 18:03, 12 April 2022‎ 146.201.179.141 talk‎ 14,496 bytes +468‎ Added sentence and link reference to Secret Base miniseries undo

• @Andrewzick: For Wikipedia standard for baseball players, a player must have played in a World Series game or been on the roster to have the achievement. Unfortunately for Stieb he was not on the roster.-- Yankees10 22:22, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I think you're confusing me with another commenter. I added a link to a documentary, which was removed, and then added again later by a different user. So I assume that my initial contribution was poor and needs improving, that's what I'm looking for feedback on.

  Maybe I'm misunderstanding you though. Do you mean that a player must play in the World Series to have a Books/Media references section? Andrewzick (talk) 22:45, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I mistakenly assumed you were the person I had just reverted. Both of you being red usernames confused me. But anyways, adding that series under the "External links" section probably would be fine since it's an SB Nation video and not a random youtuber.-- Yankees10 22:53, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bare URL notice

Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references! However, you should know that adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to linkrot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources. A bare URL is a URL cited as a reference for some information in an article without any accompanying information about the linked page. In other words, it is just URL copied and pasted into the Wiki text, inserted between <ref>...</ref> tags, without title, author, date, or any of the usual information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already entered one or more bare urls to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles, and to avoid future link rot, please consider supplementing your bare URLs—creating full, inline citations with title, author, date, publisher, etc. More information can be found at Wikipedia:Inline citations. Thank you. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 18:00, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Derek Jeter

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.

Your reverting of my changes on Derek Jeter is wrong. Stolen bases are a stat included if it is a large part, or otherwise notable amount. 358 stolen bases is as notable as it gets. For reference please check out Mookie Betts who has even less stolen bases, but still a significant number and it is a big part of his play-style. Batgirl-Awsomeness (talk) 04:20, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Making comments about "disruptive editing" and threats that I may be "blocked from editing" is not how you start a healthy discussion. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Player style advice which states that only triple crown stats go in the infobox "If there is another statistic that is representative of the player's career, then it can be included as well. Examples: Rickey Henderson's total stolen bases, Mariano Rivera's total saves." Stolen bases do not fit the criteria for Jeter. Yankees10 04:38, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  He has the most stolen bases in Yankee franchise history. He also stole bases more often than he homered. So yes, it was a massive part of his game. He's also in ranked 105 all-time. Batgirl-Awsomeness (talk) 04:44, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I apologize if I came of a little aggressive. That was not my intention. Batgirl-Awsomeness (talk) 04:45, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • off Batgirl-Awsomeness (talk) 04:45, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But he only has that many because he played for so long. Stolen bases were never a huge part of his game. Home runs were never either but they are a triple crown stat, thus why they get listed. Per that link I provided, SB's are only reserved for the Rickey Henderson, Tim Raines, Lou Brocks, etc.-- Yankees10 04:52, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Its still a significant number. Don't revert my edit again. Batgirl-Awsomeness (talk) 07:01, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please Batgirl-Awsomeness (talk) 07:02, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I would usually agree with Yankees here, but 358 is enough stolen bases to be in the infobox. Cherrell410 (talk) 18:42, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So Batgirl-Awsomeness your only rebuttal is pretty much, "I just want it there, so please don't remove it". Thats not a reasonable reasoning at all.-- Yankees10 23:07, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. My argument is that it is statistically significant. @Cherrell410 agrees. Batgirl-Awsomeness (talk) 22:59, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As I said earlier, in most cases like this, I would agree with leaving it out of the infobox, but 358 is a lot of stolen bases. That would place him 5th among active, if he was still active, meaning that when he retired, he was probably among the top 5 among active players.

DJ/D. J. Turner

A large number of people that use initials as a first name (B. J., A. J., D. J.) etc. do not use periods when spelling their names (I have a niece that goes AJ at school and doesn't use periods when she spells it). However, on Wikipedia, it is standard to include them, especially for the name D. J. as not to confuse it with the title DJ aka Disc jockey (as in DJ Khaled, DJ AM, etc.). Please leave the page with the periods as not to make it appear it appear he's a disc jockey with the name Turner.--Rockchalk717 05:59, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is not always the case if sources don't leave periods. See CC Sabathia and RJ Barrett as examples. I haven't seen a source that uses them with Turner.-- Yankees10 15:21, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just a question

Hi Yankees10 Hope you're doing well.

Just a question on a user that I believe you ran across a few months ago (JamesLucas). When a Connecticut General had US put by Nikkimaria it was removed by another editor. I reverted it and then received this on May 31st (Undid revision 1157654831 by Bringingthewood (talk) edit introduces numerous MOS violations).

Just wanted to see if you got anywhere with him. I don't think we are all living in a fantasy 'U.S. sports world only'.

Thanks in advance.

John Bringingthewood (talk) 04:39, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. In fact I went to his talk page after your message and had no idea there was a whole discussion User talk:JamesLucas#Removal of country names from infoboxes. I had zero clue this thread existed and will give it a look when I get a chance.-- Yankees10 04:45, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I'll refrain from visiting the General. With all that you do, I figured he may get to sports sooner or later. This was wrestler Stan Stasiak with Canada being added... (Reverted good faith edits by McPhail (talk): Changes were application of MOS:USPLACE—the goal is concise, natural language rather than relentless detailing)

I guess we are relentless, lol.

Catch you later. Regards Bringingthewood (talk) 04:51, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not in the mood to refrain any longer. I added U.S. back to George P. Shelton. This is bothering me due to if there is such violations, why in the he** did we vote on it? This could start a ball rolling with people who revert at will and I'm not one for wasting my time here.

Sorry to vent on your page .. but one day I'll get blocked for reaching out to someone. Too much work was done. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:46, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The violations are a BS claim by him. Luckily this user's reverts seem few and far in between, but at the same time it is very annoying.-- Yankees10 01:51, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How to delete a template.

Hello, Yankees10. I need help on how to delete a template.

A user has made this Template:Boston Red Sox who have pitched a no-hitter. I want to delete it as there already a template for no-hitters - this one: Template:Lists of no-hitters by franchise - and, hence, makes this one redundant. Also there is no such template for any other MLB team AND there is a page with a list of every no-hitter: List of Major League Baseball no-hitters.

Can you help out?

Edit: I now see the person has made one for each team. I still don't see the point of templates specific to non-perfect game no-hitters, though, and would prefer they be removed for the same reasons listed above. -- Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:22, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I personally don't agree with deleting them but Wikipedia:Templates for discussion to nominate.-- Yankees10 18:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, they went through the effort of making one for each team and then adding them to numerous pages. If you think its okay then I will defer to you and leave it alone. I initially thought it was just one template but they made one - or are making one - for each team.

The only reason I have a problem team-specific no-hitter template is because is that it seems a little excessive, given that alternatives exist. Its not like a perfect game where each of the games have their own pages. But they went through tremendous effort to make them and I really don't want to undo that.

Edit: Sorry if I sound annoyingly persistant here (a bad habit, I'm afraid) but I just took a closer look at these templates and found them to be incomplete. The user seems to have abandoned the templates in the middle of making them and made them for only 11 teams, most of which had fewer no-hitters (five or six, even as few as three). I also realized that they don't take into account the history of a team; for example, Walter Johnson is listed as a Minnesota Twin. Nor did they add the templates to every pitcher. I was gonna leave it alone since I assumed without properly checking that he made it for all teams but think I will go ahead with the deletion since its an incomplete project and can be misleading. -- Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:23, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, feel free to nominate to see what others think about deletion.-- Yankees10 21:43, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just asking

Hello again, Y10. The Maxx Crosby revert, was that for certain criteria? I ask because there was a reference and dozens of players have it listed first in the lead after date of birth. (I'm guessing Crosby must have been a take on Ted Hendricks and the Stork). Instead of me changing caps and putting nicknames in quotes, I should really find out something about the rules.

Trust me, just ask Bagumba, I've annoyed people over looking for a 'leg to stand on' when someone eventually comes asking me why. Any help is appreciated. This is no big deal, just an honest question. John Bringingthewood (talk) 22:12, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe MOS:NICK applies in this case.-- Yankees10 22:40, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen that link plenty of times. I'll just act accordingly. Some editors truly believe when they hear things and reference it, it's golden. No worries. Thanks for responding. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:48, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Manny Ramirez article revert

Hello. You reverted my statlines for Manny Ramirez. Is it ok to present his career statistics in a different form; I.E.; In 2302 games; Ramirez posted a .312 batting average...and so on and just do a rundown of his career statistics in a standard paragraph? Is this more acceptable than a stats line? Please inform me if the latter is appropriate. Thanks for your time.Theairportman33531 (talk) 22:28, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest I may be mistaken on guidelines for stat boxes in that format. I know years ago stat boxes were agreed not to included like they are with football players (for example this). But that format might be ok. I'd double check at WP:Baseball.-- Yankees10 22:45, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Glad we came to a consensus. Didnt see anything about this at WP:Baseball. BTW, can you go back to the statboxes and remove the exclamation point next to HR column in postseason stats? Tried numerous times to remove it to no avail. Thank you and have a good day.Theairportman33531 (talk) 12:38, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: My request for that minor fix has been done by another editor. Have a good dayTheairportman33531 (talk) 15:12, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

American football stubs

Wikipedia guidelines were changed early last year to require all sports biographies to have at least one piece of WP:SIGCOV (not counting database entries). In recent months, there have been efforts to draftify en masse sport substubs that do not comply with this requirement. Accordingly, we have begun a campaign to improve American football biographies that could be targeted in a similar RfC. This list identifies some of the articles that are the most vulnerable based on the new guidelines. Approximately 42 of the listed articles are ones that you created between 2008 and 2019. E.g., Mike Barber, Ken Brown, Wendell Cason, Oliver Davis, Jim Files, Lawrence Gaines, Rory Graves, etc.

The list includes articles I created as well, and it is not intended as criticism of you or anyone else, as such stubs were permitted prior to the change in policy. Instead, the purpose is to encourage each of us to clean up these stubs so as to avoid draftification or deletion. I am hoping that you will revisit these articles to add the required SIGCOV. Thanks, Cbl62 (talk) 00:03, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"stop adding preseason nonsense"

Excuse me, why do you keep deleting information I'm imputing about the NFL player Jack Golden and calling it "preseason nonsense"? It's an amusing moment that happened in the NFL, and just because it was in a preseason game doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's sourced and verified, and that's the only criteria necessary. There are plenty of player pages that include descriptions of moments from preseason games; why is this apparently so contentious that you want to delete it? I see you've done it before, and I don't understand why. 98.114.182.116 (talk) 11:34, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because preseason games are not encyclopedic and considered notable in the long term. Unless a player gets injured in a preseason game or something along those lines it should not be there.-- Yankees10 23:47, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. 98.114.182.116 (talk) 10:57, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lawrence Butler

You just made it so that Lawrence Butler (baseball) redirects to a redirect. Your edit summary says "not how its [sic] done" but doesn't explain what was wrong with how it was done. I guess I'll just sit back and wait for you to clean this mess up? Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 15:38, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Denniscabrams: Because all edit history pertaining to the baseball player is a Lawrence Butler (baseball). You're screwing with the edit history of two articles here. I'll fix it when I get a chance or you could just copy exactly what you put at Lawrence Butler at Lawrence Butler (baseball) and we'll request Muboshgu (talk · contribs) to make the correct move.-- Yankees10 16:42, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is also a Lawrence Butler (basketball) too. So it's not even a lock the baseball player should be the main article anyways.-- Yankees10 17:21, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sportsperson

This is a genuine question because I'm really confused about the "sportsperson" thing. For example, in Hank Greenberg, he's in the "Sportspeople from Beverly Hills, California" category where he was never associated with sports but went to retire - I added him to the "People from Beverly Hills, California" category because he retired and eventually died there, by the way - but not from Greenwich Village or the Bronx, where he began to play sports in the first place. So the question is when is the Sportsperson category used and what is the criteria? It's used infrequently as far as I can see; it's ususally specified to the athlete's sport. -- Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:28, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He probably shouldn't even have the Beverly Hills category because he is not really "from" there. But any person that is involved with sports should have the "sportspeople" category instead of the regular just "people" category.-- Yankees10 20:18, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've always assumed that "from" was where a person has lived for a significant period. I added Greenberg in that category because he retired to Beverly Hills, lived there for 20 years or so, and died there.

Is there a guide or something on what constitutes as "from"? Is it only where they grew up/were born? If so, I'll remove Greenberg from the Beverly Hills category. -- Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:31, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm honestly not sure if there are guidelines but I've only based it on the persons birthplace or at least where they grew up.-- Yankees10 01:33, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I base it on that and also where they have had a significant residency as well. Like long-term. For example, Henry Aaron lived in Atlanta for a long, long time.

I still disagree on the "Sportspeople" thing with Greenberg because he retired to Beverly Hills after being done with sports. Had it been that he actually did something related to sports there, it would have been more accurate. That's my view.

Thank you for your time, as always. Much appreciated! -- Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:04, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Terrion Arnold and Daijun Edwards

Hello, Yankees10,

Please do not draftify an article more than once. Editors have the right to object to draftification and move an article from Draft space back to main space. Your options at this point are to work on improving the article, tag it, indicating problems that exist in the article or pursue one of Wikipedia's deletion processes. But please do not move-war over a draft article. Thank you. Liz ^Read! Talk! 05:27, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Markees Watts

I was just in the middle of finishing up his draft and moving it to mainspace when you created a two-sentence stub on him. I would appreciate if you wouldn't do that again. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:11, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I literally didn’t even notice a draft had been created.Yankees10 20:16, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sovereign state

Hi Yankees10.

A question regarding the sovereign states. An editor was adding U.S. to Pago Pago, American Samoa, I removed U.S. and the link to Samoa. What are you doing .. let's say with Puerto Rico and the MLB players? No U.S.?

I can't really type 'country not to be linked' in the edit summary, because of the fine print (not being one of the fifty states). No what I mean? Bringingthewood (talk) 21:34, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I'm just keeping U.S. to strictly the 50 states.-- Yankees10 22:07, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That was easy enough. I laugh, my questions are always longer than your answers. Thank God it wasn't a phone call.

Thank you and stay well!! Bringingthewood (talk) 22:41, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

Thanks for creating so many new articles like Kris Jenkins (American football, born 2001). It would help a lot if you could include the name of the publication (and hopefully the date as well) in your citations. It's good practice to do so, and it helps a lot in assessing notability and just generally. Cbl62 (talk) 23:20, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Tyler Brown (American football), Omar Bayless, Kaimon Rucker, Tyler Snead, Kelvin Cáceres, Hunter Wohler, DJ Giddens, Jordan Burch, Ja'Lynn Polk, Rocco Becht, and Xavier Legette are additional examples (just from the last few days) where your citations omit the names of the publications and the dates published. These basic pieces of information are essential for multiple reasons. Is there a reason why you choose not to include this information? Cbl62 (talk) 01:15, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Call it laziness, stubbornness or whatever, but this is the format I've come to use and know and I truly don't have time in my real life anymore to learn something new. Other users are welcome to fill out the rest of the citations if need be.-- Yankees10 01:24, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please try. It's not that difficult. Doing citations the way you do opens them up to link rot (and without data points to rescue them). The absence of publication information also makes it impossible to evaluate notability without clicking on each source individually. It's really not fair to expect "other users" to clean up after you. Cbl62 (talk) 01:59, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody's asking anybody to "clean up" anything dude. You are literally the only person that's ever bothered me about this. You've been civil for the most part but that last sentence pissed me off quite frankly.-- Yankees10 02:18, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you not think, "Call it laziness, stubbornness or whatever . . . Other users are welcome to fill out the rest of the citations if need be.", is likely to engender a feeling of exasperation? Back in 2006 and 2007, when you and I both got started here, people didn't care much about citation format, but the encyclopedia has higher standards today, and that's a good thing. Please just try. Cbl62 (talk) 11:27, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• You could use reFill - that usually will add that info to the references. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:25, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Crazy how we meet

Hello again,

You're the person to see about this. In Jan. 2012 you created the page for Raymond Jackson. I just put the U.S. there, but it caught my eye ... it's East Chicago, Illinois. The link directs to East Chicago, Indiana. Even PFR has Illinois.

Didn't want to overstep and remove the city link. What do you want to see done? Regards, Bringingthewood (talk) 03:56, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just think it's a changed link or re-direct over time possibly. I believe East Side, Chicago is the correct birthplace for Jackson. I just think Pro Football Ref is just very vague on which part of East Side Chicago he was born-- Yankees10 23:07, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was thinking maybe a typo at PFR. They are human .. I think. I'll change it now, felt better asking first. Just saw some sock puppetry ... Fantasyfootball04 was doing us a big favor with U.S., turns out it was Masonjcole, lol. At least his contributions weren't reverted.

I'll let you go. I appreciate the input. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:32, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Liam Eichenberg

I apologize for not adding enough info, but I'm trying to update the details of certain Miami Dolphins players who have been neglected. I sourced my claim, and I was trying to add that he is now second-string Center. I just didn't have enough time. Do you mind if I go ahead and do that? ParXivalRPT (talk) 20:52, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zach Vigil

Is Wikipedia not a place that shares details on moments in an NFL player's career? Personally, I'd like to know what happened to Vigil - if the Redskins cut him, or, just as an example, if he became a free agent. Maybe the middle parts of my edit weren't necessary, but I think it's worth mentioning, at the least, that he only had special teams plays and wasn't on defense. That at least might explain why he's no longer an NFL player.

If Wikipedia is not the place to show details in a player's career, then I apologize. ParXivalRPT (talk) 13:51, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits gave zero context to what the notability of those random dates were. Why was August 28 and September 11 randomly worth pointing out that he was still on the roster?-- Yankees10 21:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editing against MLB.com

MLB.com is the official publication of Major League Baseball. What makes you think that it is appropriate to delete an MLB.com reference to the fact that a ballplayer is position x, because you - an editor - think he is position y? That does not seem appropriate. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:98CD:64DA:7B98:2A18 (talk) 06:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Um, what? I don't "think" he is an outfielder, I know he is one based on the 344 games he has played there. He is an outfielder along with a DH. Just a weird comment.-- Yankees10 23:29, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MLB.com is the official report for Major League Baseball. It lists a player as "position x." You disagree. Why is "what you know" superior, for wp purposes, to what Major League Baseball knows? --2603:7000:2101:AA00:80A5:6DD:35CC:2BFA (talk) 06:53, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, do simple research. He has played 344 games in the outfield and has played the a large majority of his career there. Stop arguing and being obtuse just to do it.-- Yankees10 00:11, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dude (ok, if you like), your "simple research" is classic "wp:OR" (On Wikipedia, original research includes any synthesis of published material that reaches a conclusion not stated by the sources.). The official RS website for MLB is MLB.com. Not Yankees10.com. Or IP.com.

That's how we avoid editor subjective views being imposed of whether what matters is where the player played last year, or instead where they played over the course of their career. Or when we should list two positions. Or three positions. Or all. Editors don't get to impose subjective views that they have, when there is an RS -- the official site for the sport -- that states something different than what the individual editor would like through their OR and subjective view to impose on the project. It's fairly basic to wp.

You still haven't explained why your subjective OR view, which is at odds with MLB.com, should be imposed on the project. Nor is this limited to one player. You've made numerous reverts. Where your subjective view was different than what MLB.com reports. I don't understand why you think your reverts are appropriate.--2603:7000:2101:AA00:F99E:3E01:CE85:3D51 (talk) 06:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Except it's not original research. Literally go to his Baseball Reference page. He is also an outfielder and has been his whole career. Not one place on Wikipedia does it say MLB.com is the end all for a players position. Matt McLain a perfect example. He is listed at SS on MLB.com meanwhile he played nearly as many games at 2B. Again you are arguing with me just to argue. I'm done with this, bring it to WP:Baseball.-- Yankees10 00:15, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

free agent/former

sorry i took so long to reply. I never check my talk page. From my understanding and discussion with multiple other users it was changed from 1 year inactive to 2. Inactive meaning not on a team or no “serious interest”/workouts. So in the case of Kaepernick, Dareus, Yeldon, and Strong, these players all may not have been on a roster within the last 2 years, but they’ve all had workouts with teams in the last 2 years.

Hello Y10. To be on the safe side, is it okay for me to continue adding U.S. by MLB, minors and /or in the organization for players when I see them?

Sam Howell

We meet again. I'm really not trying to step on anyone's toes, but there is more than one Wikipedia page of an NFL player who has a game-for-game analysis of each season they played in. Why are you specifically targeting the ones I edit? If it's not necessary to detail a few games at a time, let alone most games of an entire season, then go to those other pages and delete those entries as well.

More to the point, I thought it was notable that Howell threw for the most yardage in a single game of his career so far, without explicitly saying it as I knew you might have an issue with it if I did so. I didn't plan to list every single game he played in, but I thought it was a notable achievement to throw for 300+ yards in a single game, especially for a second-year quarterback.

ParXivalRPT (talk) 05:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not every single game is worthy of being mentioned. This game might be but you didn't state that it was career high in yards and to be honest I don't fully understand your reasoning. I'm not specifically following you around these pages are on my watchlist. FYI you also referred to his yards as receiving not passing.-- Yankees10 05:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That one word could have been fixed, I don't see it necessary to delete the whole blurb in that instance. Also, I didn't mention that the yardage was a career high because I thought it would be deemed excessive.

My point is life's too short to delete factual points that someone took the time to type up, but I understand your reasoning.

On a sidenote, I appreciate that you watch the pages. ParXivalRPT (talk) 05:40, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gabriel Moya

Hi, I see that you are the creator of this page, Gabriel Moya (baseball). It lists his full name as as ending with Barrios, but I can’t find this stated anywhere else online. Do you have a source for it? I’m wondering if you accidentally conflated his name with Jose Barrios while working on their pages? I wanted to ask before removing it. Thanks.

Yeah might be an old copy/paste error. Feel free to remove.-- Yankees10 17:51, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Year separations for NFL players - George Karlaftis

For future reference, can you cite where it says we shouldn't separate players careers by year at a certain point? Is it not allowed until they play more than one season? ParXivalRPT (talk) 00:39, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Separating by year when there is only one or two short sentences is unnecessary and aesthetically ridiculous.-- Yankees10 23:33, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But is there a specific Wikipedia rule against it? Personally, I find the year seperation more helpful, specifically since it jumbles up dates (personally, when I read entries) when there are dates that skip adding the year at the end because the year was added in the sentence prior.

Fred Warner

I want to understand what was unnecessary about the changes I made. It feels like a waste of both our times for you to change an edit that took me a good amount of time, especially the part about his interception in the 2022 season. Why specifically is that a no-go? ParXivalRPT (talk) 04:55, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What are the purpose of these edits that are wording things slightly different and generally not improving anything? In my opinion some of your edits are making it somewhat harder to read and more confusing. There are so many articles on this website that need new good info i'm not sure exactly why you are making changes to these articles.-- Yankees10 05:04, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I make the changes when it doesn't read comprehensively to me. And in my opinion, what you're doing is actually discouraging me from continuing to make edits. So don't worry about it. ParXivalRPT (talk) 05:09, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well sorry to tell you but some of the terms you are using are not common or even correct. Specifically the word "made" as an example when referring to a player having an interception or kick return TD.-- Yankees10 05:15, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftifications

Hello, Yankees10,

Please consider using a tool like User:Evad37/MoveToDraft when you draftify articles. One thing that it does is inform content creators that they now can find their articles in Draft space which is an important step in the process. If you don't want to use this tool, please post a message yourself on the article creator's talk page informing them of the draftification. This tool will also maintain a Draftify log which many editors find helpful.

You might also consider archiving your talk page which is even longer than mine! I just did some archiving the other day and it makes the page much more manageable for editors wanting to talk with you. And it also makes it easier for you to find older conversations. Thank you.
