[edit] Re: Hello Tony

Thanks for letting me know about the baseball cat that was posted for deletion. I posted my vote. Take a look and let me know what you think. What do you think about Bruce Sutter going into the Hall without Rich Gooseage? Tony the Marine 02:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This Date in Baseball

Sure thing. Also, if you don't have a problem, I'm going to try to update the Baseball portal with the information in your articles. Great work on things.Xalfor 21:41, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I posted my thoughts. It looks like it's a surefire keep luckily. TrafficBenBoy 03:43, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] From One Baseball Enthusiast To Another

Hi, it's good to see someone else working on filling in the baseball gaps. Keep up the good work! --Alex 02:48, 26 February 2006 (UTC)



[edit] Thank you

Thanks for the Birthday wish my friend. Today I wanted to get Roger Clemens autograph. I was told that the USA Team was staying at the "Ritz". I went there and I found everybody, The San Antonio Spurs and The National Mexican Baseball Team there, but no USA Team. Clemens is the only future Hall of Famer that I need for my collection. Oh well maybe next time. Your friend Tony the Marine 01:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Update on Template:This Date in Baseball History

Thanks for positive feedback on the baseball history template update. The work on the Template:This Date in Baseball History calendar template is much appreciated, making a new generic Template:This Date possible for other topics. The template has an Esoteric tag since the coding might get a bit spooky, but hopefully the parameters are straightforward; please advise me of any issues. Category:Dates in baseball should also be more orderly now. Also added a few dates based on the Montreal Expos article e.g. July 28 in baseball. Hope all this helps the WP baseball effort.

[edit] Baseball card images

Hi. I just wanted to give you a warning that the image police are cracking down heavily on fair use images lately. I've had one marked as a copyvio. I noticed you upload a lot of baseball card pictures and it looks like those now even have a special mention here as being a violation (see #6). Another sign of the coming storm is here. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Wikipedia survey

Hi. I'm doing a survey of Wikipedia editors as part of a class research project. It's quick, anonymous, and the data will be made available to the Wikipedia community later this month. Would you like to take part? More info here. Thanks! Nonplus 00:20, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Baseball season and need help with baseball site!

Hello MusicCitizen, Googie Man here again. First off, I certainly hope I'm not bothering you with the occasional message - if so please let me know. With that out of the way, now to the favor I ask of you. Baseball season is upon us now, and you're expertise is really needed on the Baseball Wikia over at Wikia, the wiki hosting site created by Jimbo and Angela. By the way, you used to know the site as Wikicities, but now is called Wikia. Here's the link [1] - I sure hope to see you there. Any ideas on how to make the site more fun will be greatly appreciated! All the best, Terry Foote a.k.a Googie man 17:49, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Amigo, Gracias

It was real nice to hear from you. So, a day like today in 1942 H. Bithron became the first Boricua to play in MLB? Did you create that page? Who ever did, did a wonderful job. How have you been? I think that B.Bonds records will always be tainted because of what's going on. What do you say? Tony the Marine 17:37, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You're my new favorite hero!

--Fluppy 07:38, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow

I am amazed by your edits involving baseball. Yanksox 04:39, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Strikeouts per nine innings

Hi, baseball guy!  :) FYI, I added two new merge tags to your Strikeouts per nine innings article. It looks like someone added two new articles for the same stat and then left Wikipedia. Thought you might want to see what's salvageable in those and just redirect them. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:36, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ramon Hernandez 01.JPEG)

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ramon Hernandez 01.JPEG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 22:48, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revert of 1971 Debuts List

Just dropping you a note to let you know I reverted the addition of this list that you put in the articles for several basebally players. The player biography pages are for information about those individual players, and who happened to reach the big leagues the same year they did is not relevant to their lives and adds unnecessary clutter to the pages. I would suggest creating a categories (1971 baseball rookies, 1953 baseball rookies, etc.) to convey this information. Indrian 17:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oldest living major leaguers

The oldest living major leaguers page has several guys on it who have been dead for a long time. For example, Wayne Osborne died in 1987! The most accurate and definitive list of OLML on the internet is the one I maintain at http://www.whosaliveandwhosdead.com/l_majlea.asp. I added this site to the references section, since it was obviously used as a source, but I did not take out all of the dead people. Baseball-reference.com and other similar sites cannot be relied upon for logging all deaths or for getting DOBs and DODs correct.
Regards,
David Carson
Who's Alive and Who's Dead

[edit] Contributions

I'd like to thank you for all you have done for Wikipedia in the subject of baseball.

However, I just have a little request. In some of your articles, I see that you added something like [mid] or [end], and I'd just like to let you know that it really isn't necessary to put that in. Most people know that the player must have been traded or picked off waivers (or something along those lines) and if they really are curious about his stats and the times of when he was playing with different teams, then they could check out one of the external links, like baseball-reference.

Thanks!

[edit] re February 28 in baseball et al

I am deleting these after Transwiki'ing them to baseball.wikia.com per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/October 2 in baseball.

I think these are great articles. I and I'm sure many others agree with that. However, a number of Wikipedians felt that this was too much detail for this general encyclopedia and that the material was best served over at the baseball wiki.

I hope you don't see that as in any way a disparagement of your fine and valuable work. The baseball wiki is a sister project (although not actually a part of Wikimedia). Moving these to the baseball wiki is basically just a technical redordering of the content structure for better overall access.

If you have any questions about this please call me. Herostratus 18:23, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Long Tom Hugues.JPEG

Thanks for uploading Image:Long Tom Hugues.JPEG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peter O. (Talk) 15:31, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for opinion

I'd prefer not to drag other people into this, but could you have a look at the discussion at Talk:Jake Daubert? I'd be most interested in additional opinions in the dispute between me and Tecmobowl as to the article content. MisfitToys 21:05, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ¡Hola!

Thanks for your kind words...much appreciated! :0) I also want to compliment you on all the work you have done in the baseball area of Wikipedia, as it's quite impressive. BurmaShaver 02:25, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ernie White

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Ernie White, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Ernie White. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 01:00, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vote stacking at CFD to keep All Star game categories

I'm not sure you understand what is being proposed at CFD about the All Star game categories. I did not propose that the two parent categories be deleted. I propoosed that all the categories by year be deleted and the contents merged into the two top level categories. As articles are being written about each all star game, they can include a complete roster of who played on each team and be anotated with information about their position, and other stats. This is a much better way to present this information than having numerous categories that clutter up articles.

Even if I can't convince you that they should be deleted, it is considered bad form to leave messages on individuals pages asking them to vote a certain way at CFD, AFD, etc... It is considered vote stacking. If you want to leave a neutrally worded message at a wikiproject or a notice board, that is acceptable. Thanks, -- Samuel Wantman 03:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Zach Duke.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Zach Duke.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 23:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Alex Gonzalez (Bosox).jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Alex Gonzalez (Bosox).jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 14:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pedro Vargas

Thank you for writing the article! It has been on my list for quite some time.--Rockero 05:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
