Hi! I just wanted to drop a note about the image Firstbasketball.jpg that you uploaded about a month ago — it's a nice addition to the basketball article, because it's clearly notable and important (rather than random) (assuming it's accurate etc. etc.) — thanks!

Hi ... after a good deal of discussion over the past week or so on the

Hi, echoing Sanfranman59's statement -- I think that we're moving from "former teams" to "teams" in general, though I don't think that there's going to be a mass move to change all "formerteams" to "teams" at once, and any help in fixing mistakes ("formerteams" that include current or vice versa) would be appreciated; but with all the great new writing that needs to be done on the encyclopedia, I don't think that reversions are helpful. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 04:53, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Minor League and college teams do not belong under "teams" in player infoboxs, please see [[1]] for more information, it seems like you have a history of just making edits because you feel like they should be there but they are not approved, like changing teams back to formerteams after its been decided that formerteams is going to go away. There is a reason why no player has minor league teams on their list of teams, they are not useful, players can play for alot of minor league teams before making the big leagues, whats next are you going to start adding high schools, middle schools, little league teams to their list of old teams. MetsFan153 11:40, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think that minor league teams should only be listed for a player with little or no MLB experience -- they are not an important part of a major league player's biography 95% of the time. Experience at the top foreign leagues (esp. Japan) generally is. (And here's where I hate infoboxes in general -- I don't think anyone would object to the adding of minor league teams to the prose of the articles). -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 15:20, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. A single A player being traded for a veteran major leaguer? That seems to make him pretty notable.Kinston eagle 00:50, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words--I really enjoyed creating some of the entries for many teams I read about in the sports section here in North Carolina. Please go ahead and add some history for the Wilson Tobs. You are probably far more qualified than me to write about that. Thanks again Jeick 23:39, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I read your post at the WikiProject NC talk page. Although I'm no expert, I would recommend getting a Wikipedia:Peer review. Also, let me now what I can do to help, I'd love to see a North Carolina related article make featured status. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 16:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please go to Reggie jacksons talk page and vote for either A's or Yankees colors in the infobox--Yankees10 20:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have just started to propose this article for Did you know. However I see you have spent a lot of time wikifying it (and I see it has a way to go). Was this your intention? Are you willing to help?

Please rescind your nomination for deletion of the notability sports page. We can just tag it as rejected and be done with it immediately. An MfD will muddy the clarity of the present consensus and is likely to work at cross purposes to your apparent intent. I tried this last year with terrible result. --Kevin Murray 15:58, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if there are plenty of more Wikipedians from North Carolina, especially Newport where I'm from. I recommend there should be a page list for it. Bwjs 16:32, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

well that is stupid, why does every other infobox have color but not his--75.82.16.153 13:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please dont change the colors on Reggie Jacksons infobox anymore, there was one main person who kept changing it to A's colors and that was Pascack, and he hasnt edited since August. What I think is that we keep the Yankees colors in the infobox, but if someone keeps changing it back and forth, then we go back to neutral colors--Yankees10 16:08, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just wait until people keep changing the colors back and forth to change it back to neutral colors, you dont control the article, so please stop, and by the way I didnt appreciate the response you said about me saying: "You're ridiculous", I could report that because you are offending me--Yankees10 18:08, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Its pretty dumb that you would use your IP address 69.68.238.142 to change the colors, like I wouldnt know it was you--Yankees10 21:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've undone some of the color changes you've done. I see nothing wrong with having colors for retired players that have only played for one team. Even players who have played all but one year on one team. Seems silly. —Wknight94 (talk) 03:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like it. Let's discuss. Was there some agreement to this approach somewhere? I've seen discussion in various places but I assume you can recall where since you're doing the mass changes. —Wknight94 (talk) 03:41, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I started a section at

WT:MLB#Infobox colors ---- again. Can you at least hold off on the single-team players until a discussion can take place? There's no rush after all. There is at least one other who agrees with me. —Wknight94 (talk) 03:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

There are thousands of retired players with articles here. Surely you can skip the few where I disagree with your approach, can't you? —Wknight94 (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not "one or two", just one. If you'd like to even leave the ones gray, I'd consider that. I'd be interested to know if there have been any disputes in such cases. My guess is no. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, you're wasting your time anyway. To remove the color from all retired player infoboxes, all you would need to do is edit Template:Infobox MLB retired. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:35, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can use {{

WP:RFPP#Current requests for significant edits to a protected page. As for a controversy, what you're trying to do is resolving the few color disputes that have come up (Reggie Jackson, Tug McGraw ---- where else?) at the expense of changing thousands of articles (yes, literally thousands), possibly causing a huge uproar that would be difficult to undo. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

Also, look at lists in other cities and towns. Many of them include notable people that at some point lived in the town. Please don't try to be "cute" and use the Kinston Indians example because that is an exception for Kinston.--

Sorry about that. I forgot about this. I was just going through disambiguations and saw it again.

Yes it is their poor website and that poor website on the front page clearly states that they are voted in which means they are members.

I don't see anything on the new link to support your agruement but I do see on the right side: 2009: Jay Bell, David Cone, Ron Gant, Mark Grace, Rickey Henderson, Jesse Orosco, Dan Plesac, Greg Vaughn, Mo Vaughn, Matt Williams.

This supports what I said when I made the claim that this site is poorly updated. Thanks --Phbasketball6 (talk) 22:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way they are also BIG differences between sport players making into their Hall of Fame and politicans.

Honestly, I liked the picture better with the 2 kids in it. I don't really care about the fact that you edited the kids out, in fact if you look at Deolis Guerra's, Wilson Ramos' and half the other pictures of Miracle players, they just about all had at least one kid cut out of the picture.

First, thank you for the invite. I'm not really sure what would go into articles for the bullpen. I expanded Tommy Watkins' bullpen article a while back only to see it reverted a day later. Apparently, they wanted it to remain a stub. In any case, the main reason I contribute to wikipedia baseball articles and not the bullpen is that I was under the impression that bullpen articles were only intended to be brief overviews for anyone wanting to read about a player whose stats you were looking at on baseball-reference.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 09:26, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

With regards to your remark here, when you de-prod a bazilion articles without bothering to explain why, you're probably going to get one or two right. But that doesn't really make up for the rest of our time that you have wasted.

I haven't prodded any of the articles and the majority of them have been deleted following an necessary AfD. Rather than making snide attacks, perhaps you should spend your time looking into whether or not the PRODed articles have been PRODed for a reason.

Automatic Strikeout isn't quite right, but then again I still don't understand why you're de-PRODing every article. Discussions are good, as it saved Will Inman's article, and I also think Zech Zinicola is notable. However, what possible claim to notability could someone like Rodney Clabo have?

Your upload of File:68sked.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Major League Baseball players from Europe, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zborov (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Kinston Indians into Down East Wood Ducks. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:43, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see you are still not adding the required attribution, as required under the terms of the CC-by-SA license. Please have a look at this edit summary as an example of how it is done. Please leave a message on my talk page if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:53, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
