- MLB is the official site of major league baseball, so we adhere to that. Raise on the baseball page if you want further input. --184.153.21.19 (talk) 07:15, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Stats sites often mix up birthplace with the more ambiguous hometown, which could be where you grew up or went to high school. This Pac-12 article says he was born in Bellevue, which is also consistent with most of the stats sites.—Bagumba (talk) 17:40, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- I think we go with Bellevue because the preponderance of reliable sources tell us that it's his birthplace. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 20:18, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- I concur with Barkeep....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:43, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Robert Stock (baseball) edit
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Robert Stock (baseball)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 04:14, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
