Infobox Template

@JDDJS: & @BilCat:, to avoid more reverts I thought I'd place this here. First of all, thanks for explaining your change. I did review BRD, but no changes were made the the template to account for all the separate president positions. Your current edit shows three presidents and doesn't really differentiate between Derek Schiller and Mike Plant even though they have different positions. The template needs to be updated to support these changes. Until that happens the infobox is confusing as it stands. Nemov (talk) 01:15, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

After further reviewing their job descriptions, Schiller is the president of the team while Plant is president of the real estate company that runs the parks. Therefore, only Schiller needs to be listed. JDDJS (talk to mesee what I've done) 02:00, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Derek Schiller

I've created a draft article at

Draft:Derek Schiller. Schiller is the current president of the Braves baseball operation. There's plenty of coverage of him, just have to write it out. If anyone wishes to contribute please feel free. Thanks! Nemov (talk

Article Size

The prose size of this article is 64kb which is getting a little

too big. The most obvious area to summarize is the club's history. Some of what's included here could be moved to History of the Atlanta Braves. Seems like the biggest points to cover here would be origin, world championships, winning eras, and team moves? The general season by season stuff can be moved. Thoughts?

The
WP:RECENTISM on the past 20 or so seasons (especially the last 10) is prime for a trimming, with material shifted to the individual season articles if its not there already. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:07, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply

Thanks! I summarized the last 30 years changes and the article is a bit more manageable (around 50kb). Nemov (talk) 01:03, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Uniforms for 2022 (& 2023)

The Braves are no longer wearing their cream alternative jerseys according to a report from May[1]. I see that @Silent Wind of Doom has updated the illustrations in the past, but at some point that needs to be updated on this article. Thanks! Nemov (talk) 11:56, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Braves have also added this to the rotation for the 2023 season.[2] Nemov (talk) 16:53, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    All fixed. Sorry. Last year was a bit of a mess. The Silent Wind of Doom (talk) 18:16, 16 April 2023 (UTC) (EDIT: Ahh... yes. The City Connect uniforms. They're very varied in use, and I'm watching on a case-to-case basis on what becomes a regular alternate and what doesn't. But I just got the league done as far as I've seen. CC additions should be coming in the next few weeks.)[reply]
    Awesome. Thanks so much. The Braves are wearing the CC jersey for every Saturday home game in 2023. Nemov (talk) 19:34, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yup. There are sources for that if needed. It's probably one of the better CC uniforms, but I'm admittedly biased. BilCat (talk) 19:53, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree, I even got the cap the day they went on sale. The Saturday home rotation is mentioned in the uniform section. Nemov (talk) 19:55, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good article

I would like to get this article to

WP:GA. I haven't done that before, but this article is a good candidate for it. A lot of the history section is unsourced so some work will need to be done to get that right, but any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Nemov (talk) 15:34, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Getting an article adequately sourced is often the main milestone for GA and A-class articles. -Fnlayson (talk) 15:52, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added some citations to the history section, but I think I'll go through an summarize all the way through first. Finding sources in the newspaper archives shouldn't be to difficult. It'll take some time, but if that section is well sourced it should be pretty close. Nemov (talk) 16:13, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Best of luck. I recommend looking at other relevant GAs to model off of. New York Yankees is GA, not sure if any of the other 28 franchises are. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:18, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, yeah I've been looking at that article as a good starting point. Nemov (talk) 16:21, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sourcing looks good now through the Boston era. The Atlanta history probably should be summarized in a similar fashion so it resembles the rest of the article. That's the next step. After that the sourcing looks solid for the article. Nemov (talk) 16:45, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • So I think the sourcing is there. I would welcome a second pair of eyes before making a request for good article status. The images in the article appear good from a copyright standpoint. Am I missing anything? Thanks! Nemov (talk) 16:09, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Attendance

Does this belong in the article? I just updated for 2023, but I'm wondering if it would be better placed at Truist Park. At the very least, the Turner Field numbers can be removed. I'm removing the Turner Field stuff for now, but will move the other if there's not objection. Nemov (talk) 16:54, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not in a table but notable attendance numbers could be worked in History section, such as major increases or decreases. Just a thought. -Fnlayson (talk) 17:12, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
