Roger Maris

Hello, Yankees10! Just thought I'd let you know that I left a message on anonymous editor 75.79.31.20's talk page in regards to Wikipedia's edit warring policy. I also advised the user to contact you about any relevant changes they would like to make to the Roger Maris article as opposed to to reverting your work without discussion. Cheers!

Proposed deletion of Drew Hutchison

The article Drew Hutchison has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't meet WP:WPBB/N. Per #6 of WP:WPBB/N, article should be written up in a Blue Jays page.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Alfredo Gonzalez (baseball)

Note that I have undeleted this article per a request at WP:REFUND and because the article was not eligible for PROD in the first place as it had previously survived an AFD discussion with a clean "keep". Further note, I would like to request that in the future that you use a descriptive edit summary when proposing articles for deletion so that any interested party who has the article watchlisted has a chance to contest it if he chooses to do so. The twinkle tool which you can enable through gadgets will do this for you as well as notify the article's creator. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 04:17, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Mason Williams

Can you help me fill in some blanks in my memory, because I'm confused. I created a blurb for Mason Williams in December. I linked to it in the roster template the same day, so I must've created it as a redirect. Yet, the article history says the article was created by you a couple weeks ago. Did my redirect get deleted between December and February? Not a big deal, but I'm curious. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:11, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

I wish I had put the redirect on my watchlist then. That makes no sense, it was a valid redirect. Thanks for letting me know. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:23, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Gabe Carimi

Made some edits to Gabe Carimi User Epeefleche is really giving me a hard time. I see you had some disputes with him earlier about this page. Possible you can help a newer editor out? He is very defensive about this page for some reason. I even did what he wanted and tried to expand the page and now he's reverting my changes. Thanks. If not, thanks anyways! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.89.61.218 (talk) 22:25, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

BJ Coleman

Hello Yankees10. One or more of the articles you created, such as B. J. Coleman, may not meet Wikipedia's standards. In this case Coleman is not an NFL player, just registered on the draft, and per WP:NFL, biographies are not written until the player is an actual NFL player. Although I am working on this article, I am strongly considering an AFD. Who knows? Although he's at the top, he may not be accepted. I think we should wait and see.Getting out of here (talk) 20:39, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Thats not even close to being true. College players can have articles if they are notable, which Coleman is. You don't need to be in the NFL to have an article.--Yankees10 20:48, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of B. J. Coleman for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article B. J. Coleman, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/B. J. Coleman until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.-Getting out of here (talk) 20:56, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

"Early years" or "High school career"

I just saw you changed the section title on David DeCastro back to "Early years", instead of "High school career". I'm wondering why? Because this section is named "High school career" on most NFL players' articles. Now I'm not against using "Early years" instead, but before we change it everywhere I'd like to know whether this has been discussed somewhere, or whether you determined this by yourself. --bender235 (talk) 21:28, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

formatting of MLB honors, etc.

Why are you placing the year of infobox honors in front of the description? Like the current NBA and NFL player infoboxes, MLB honors are properly formatted with the year of the championship, honor or award following the description of the championship, honor or award in a parenthetical, like so:

• World Series MVP (2010)

It is quite odd to see three award listed like this:

• MLB All-Star (2008, 2009, 2010)
• Golden Glove (2009)
• 2011 World Series MVP

One of these things is out of step with the others . . . Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:45, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

No. vs. #

Y10, it's a small style point, but you may want to have a look at this: MOS:NUMBERSIGN. The only time I use the number/pound sign in Wikipedia is for poll rankings in season schedule tables per local consensus at WP:CFB; otherwise, when reference is made to a jersey number, poll ranking, etc., I use "No. 1", not "#1", per MOS. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:14, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Explain?

Why did you revert this edit? [2] - Burpelson AFB ✈ 14:52, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Spaces between the infobox and text are unnecessary.--Yankees10 15:41, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

I actually changed the lede text and added a reference... - Burpelson AFB ✈ 19:16, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lamar Holmes

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 Lamar Holmes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. BO; talk 02:47, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Donald Stephenson

The article Donald Stephenson has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Dcheagle 03:41, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Aaron Hernandez -- 2012 Pro Bowl

Hey, Y10, Hernandez was selected for the 2012 Pro Bowl as an alternate, but didn't play because the Pats were in the Big Bowl. Personally, I'm indifferent how we recognize (or don't recognize) the Pro Bowl alternates in the player infobox, etc. I see other editors arguing about this all the time. I just think we should be consistent for all players . . . . Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:00, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Ridiculous?

Why is it ridiculous to create redirects for some of the 2012 MLB drafts top prospects? I intend to fully research them and see if there are articles to write for them, which I assume there are. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:05, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

• Muboshgu, yes they were ridiculous. Wikipedia has no need for placeholders. Until you have created a proper article about one of these baseballers, we do not need anything at all. Moreover, it would probably be better if you to wait until each guy has actually played professionally and received mention in reliable sources. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:27, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Another example of an amateur

Just to give you a little more perspective on amateur players and their notability, check out Robert Stephenson (baseball), which is featured on the main page right now at DYK. Yes he was drafted and signed a professional contract, but he hasn't played a single inning of professional ball yet (he's in extended spring training). The sources and content are almost all about his amateur career. We can build good articles on amateur players, if we know where to look. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:28, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

FYI

I nominated Yan Gomes for DYK (see here). I don't know how you manage to create so many articles on players receiving their first promotions, but in case of interesting facts, they should be expanded and promoted as much as possible. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:04, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Avoid an edit war

I think you do a great deal of good work on Wikipedia. I, however, have to alert you that you heading for an edit war over reverting my edit of Nolan Ryan, a simple edit that inserted a decimal fraction, sometimes mistakenly called winning percentage--it is not a percent. My insertion represents the fraction of the pitcher's total decisions that were wins. I insist you not tamper with my edits. I am a Yankees fan. I love baseball. So think we agree on many points. I recommend that you leave my edit alone.Iss246 (talk) 14:36, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

We do not include winning percentage in infoboxes. Any change like that would need consensus at WT:BASEBALL, as the infobox was crafted as it is very deliberately. I'm going about reverting all additions of winning percentage now. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:21, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
