who wrote the biography of Robbie Ross-Professional Baseball Player? How can I find it myself? On the bio page somewhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.143.208.239 (talk) 19:33, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@74.143.208.239: Do you mean who wrote the Wikipedia Article titled Robbie Ross (baseball)? If you do, Wikipedia articles are written by many authors, who modify and improve each other's work, most of them known either by a pseudonymous user name, and some identified only by the IP address of the computer they used to make the edit. In any event, you can get a full list of every author, along with every change they made, in the order they made it in, by clicking the "view history" tab while looking at the article in question. --Jayron32 20:00, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's sometimes interesting to go the original creation edit, then click the "cur" button on the far left to compare it to the current version, and see what survived. Pretty close, this time. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:16, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
