David Ortiz

edit

Please stop removing valid material from David Ortiz. If you object to it, discuss it the talk page first. You'd be very welcome in the discussion of this topic there.

Thanks for your many fine copy edits to the article. PhGustaf (talk) 07:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on David Ortiz. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing.

Your edits to the 50 home run club list have been disruptive to say the least. First, you resort to content blanking[1] of verified material that has been sourced by multiple reliable references. Then, you claim[2] that "[i]n Ortiz and Bautista case these are allegations." This statement is false on two counts. Firstly, the Bautista article isn't even implicating or alleging that he took PEDs. It's saying that other 50 HR club members before him have been, which is why I provided the quote to accompany the ref. Secondly, it has been proven by both ESPN and The New York Times that Ortiz failed the 2003 test for PEDs. The sources don't say "allegedly" tested positive; they say flat out, "were among the [MLB] players to test positive for performance-enhancing drugs." Please go ahead and try to disprove two reliable news sources that they are incorrect and that Ortiz is clean. If you can't (and I'm assuming you can't, because it's the truth, even if it hurts), then please stop your disruptive editing. Judging from your contributions, you appear to be a big David Ortiz fan, but it isn't cool to disrupt WP simply to make a point. —Bloom6132 (talk) 13:24, 23 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Replaceable fair use File:David Ortiz in 2006 picture.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:David Ortiz in 2006 picture.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 12:10, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

The 2014 picture of Ortiz isn't just more recent; it's also better quality. That's a fact. It's your personal opinion that the picture "sucks," and your personal opinion should not determine whether it's used or not. --A guy saved by Jesus (talk) 19:38, 24 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

David Ortiz page

edit

Elcid ruderico, Dude if you're gonna change the whole heading of the page (which in my opinion is totally unnecessary) then you need to fix the grammar in all those sentences. It's horrible.

I honestly don't know what your deal is, Jkaradell. First, don't call me "dude" because I don't know you and at this point I would never care to know you. Second, to revert edits that are not vandalism and that are within the subject content is completely poor form. The David Ortiz article was flagged for an insufficiently descriptive intro. Instead of making minor or modest edits, you reverted an edit which actually took some time to do. You supported your reason for doing so only by opinion − of which Wikipedia is neither an opinion site nor blog − offering no examples demonstrating why you thought I had written with "poor grammar." In fact, you are the only editor who has ever griped about my grammar. Why don't you try browsing some of the good articles that I have successfully submitted for promotion, which can be found on my talk page, and then deciding if my grammar is poor? Your opinion with a lack of supporting detail about sentence structure indicated that you are not very well-educated. I see that one theme common throughout the responses from other editors here on this talk page is that you concern yourself more with creating edit wars rather than improving articles. So why do you even waste your time on Wikipedia? Elcid.ruderico (talk) 02:05, 6 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
