Basketball image

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!

WikiProject Golf

Hi Kinston eagle, and thanks for your contributions to Edgmont Country Club. I was wondering if you would like to join WikiProject Golf? It would be a great opportunity to collaborate with other wikipedians on golf articles. Thanks again. Grover 05:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

No Thank you. Thanks for the offer though.Kinston eagle 10:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Teams vs. Former teams in MLB player infoboxes

Hi ... after a good deal of discussion over the past week or so on the WP:WPBBP talk page we reached a consensus that we would change the headers in the MLB player infoboxes from "former teams" to "teams". As such, please don't revert our work in making these changes. If you disagree with the decision we made, post your concerns on the project talk page. Thanks. --Sanfranman59 03:12, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

Ramirez/Lofton Trade

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)

True. I see you working.  :) Nick22aku 00:55, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Wilson Tobs

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)

Kingston Indians

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)

Hi. I just noticed at Portal:Sports and games/Selected content nominations where you had nominated Kinston Indians. I have set it up for next month at Portal:Sports and games/Selected article/October 2007.

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?

Notability Sports

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.

North Carolina Wikipedians

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)

Reggie Jackson

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

Reggie Jacksons color

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)

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)

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)

Tex Taylor

I do not know if this Tex Taylor alive or not. However, there is a policy (see Category:Living people under Expansion) to put anyone not known to be dead and who would be under 90 years old in the Living people category. Afasmit (talk) 05:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Players on one team

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

You can use {{Editprotected}} on the template's talk page. Or 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)

Kinston

First of all, my "true intention" is to make it a great article. (see WP:FAITH) Please don't accuse me of having an agenda when you don't even know me. Someone being a gospel singer (even though i'm agnostic, i am related to christians in La Grange and don't hate christians) or a conservative politician (i'm a conservative libertarian btw) is not the reason I removed them. They don't seem noteworthy, especially the activist. I'll put them back since you're having a conniption, but once again, don't accuse people.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 02:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

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.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 02:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Baseball parks of Toledo, Ohio

Thanks for your input on this article. I made some more changes. If you're interested, please review. Regarding the Kinston Indians, I saw a game or two there in the early 1990s.

Ummm...

What is going on in this article. I'm not sure I understand the rationale behind your edits. It's pretty clearly a speedy page (either A7 or attack). Any reason you're wikilinking it? --Bfigura ^(talk) 00:30, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Project banners

Please stop taking the Wikipedia Baseball project banners off of legitimate articles such as Kinston Indians. These articles are definitely within the scope of the project and you have offered no explanation as to why they should not be included in it. Thank you, Metros (talk) 01:06, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Is baseball no longer played at Grainger? It once was; I'm fairly certain I saw a game there some years ago. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 01:08, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

It seems as though Kingston eagle has problems with WP:OWNERSHIP, and now that he is having a bit of a dispute with WP:BASEBALL that he is removing articles he has edited from the project. The banner helps the project keep track of progress, we have worklists and clean up lists that are generated from pages that show the banner. Please stop removing it. —Borgarde^talk 06:31, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

If it continues, report it to WP:ANI as disruptive behavior. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 06:34, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Somewhat related to the above. Please stop changing WPTC featured list assessments to FL-class. WPTC uses FA-class for all featured content. Thank you. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 00:39, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Jim Tatum

Sorry about that. I forgot about this. I was just going through disambiguations and saw it again. Maybe there should be some sort of notation that this is the football Jim Tatum (or, even better, move Jim Tatum to Jim Tatum (football) and make the main page a dab page). I can't be the only one who would be confused by this. -Dewelar (talk) 01:25, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Joe Gordon

Can you please stop removing the HOF info, as Baseball Bugs said they're not going to revoke the election so it doesnt break the crystal ball rule--Yankees10 21:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

The thing is if you continue to do these edits, youll be blocked, so be my guest, keep reverting.--Yankees10 02:26, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Please stop reverting the edits Joe Gordon, Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice made the class of 2009. This is not a crystal ball, this is the truth. Thanks --Phbasketball6 (talk) 21:04, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

They do consider him a Hall of Famer, the announcement does. Every year when Professional football players are announce to be induction that means that they ARE Hall of Famers. Thanks --Phbasketball6 (talk) 21:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

This is one site, and I use to visit this site myself back in '03 until I relized that the people that update this site are lazy and fall behide. By the way this is only one source. If I am wrong please help me to understand that, can you show me more sources. Thanks --Phbasketball6 (talk) 21:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

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. The "induction" ceremony is nothing... just them talking about their careers thanking people and getting a plaque. --Phbasketball6 (talk) 21:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

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)

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

Rickey Henderson

Your edits to remove the HOF information from the Rickey Henderson article are disruptive. Please refrain from these types of edits. Timneu22 (talk) 22:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

3rr on Template:Baseball Hall of Fame outfielders

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page 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.

Note you are reverting without consensus in multiple articles, that's a very blockable offense. Revert again, and I must report you Secret ^account 21:47, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

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. However, I find this particular picture the way it looks now a little too big and unflattering. Again, just my opinion.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 13:01, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

RE:Spencer Steedley

Yes I recently put some information on his page and I was there at both of those highlights of his career and I am his cousin and that stuff is right and I can't figure out why you would delete all of that when it is all true. OK, he wanted me to put that on there so I did for him, and he is wondering why people don't believe any of the stuff I recently put on there.--Lkeever2 (talk) 01:42, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Bullpen

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)

Minor league task force

Hey, I have noticed that you are interested in minor league articles. I thought that we might be able to combine out work in a task force at WP:WPBB. I think that with a task force we can strengthen articles on minor league players to dispel the myth that they are not notable no matter what. I recently made an article on Ollie Carnegie, a career minor league player from the 1930s, so if that's not proof there is notability in minor leaguers I don't know what is. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks! --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 02:49, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I completely understand why you have issues with the project. I have been fighting the few members who consider their narrow view a "consensus". But the only way to change that is to keep fighting it. Thanks anyway. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 02:52, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Homar Rojas

There's an ongoing discussion related to the notability of players from the Mexican League going on at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports), as an outgrowth of the discussion at the linked AFD. As such, your input would be welcome. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 20:55, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Michael Jordan

That's the second time you removed the Baseball project banner from Talk:Michael Jordan without providing a reason. He played professional baseball; therefore, he's within the scope of the Baseball project. Why are you removing it? – Muboshgu (talk) 19:47, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

He doses not meet that wikiproject's notability guidelines. Kinston eagle (talk) 00:41, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

I do not recall that being a requirement for being part of the WikiProject, considering that he meets GNG and has a relationship with professional baseball. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:01, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
