[edit] Angels edits

Hello,
First, I must commend you for your work on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim page. But oddly, that page is now the longest baseball team page, and they have not even been around for 1/2 as long as most teams. Would you mind condensing the bulk of the history into a couple of sections and then maybe create a new article, History of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? You can then add the note on this page above the abbreviated article to see

Main article: History of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

Just a suggestion, I noticed the article size was longer than recommended that's all.
Let me know what you think, have a good one!--CrazyTalk 20:31, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] user vs. user talk

I'm guessing you meant to put this here instead of on CrazyTalk's user page, right? --fvw* 23:53, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Walt Disney

Hi! Thanks for keeping an eye on that page. There's continuing childish vandalism going on there at the moment, but the server is so agonishingly slow in accepting edits (at least here from Finland), that I can't keep up with it. It also appears our edits were crossed, so I overwrote yours by mistake... Please continue your vigilance, thanks! --Janke | Talk 15:50, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the refs on Ford Thunderbird

Those make the section read a lot better and less POV. Thanks! —Matthew Brown (T:C) 00:23, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Major Leagues

For consistency, when editing the National League you need a sockpuppet named "Uncle Nl". d:) Wahkeenah 02:54, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

An actual "AL" cap. That's excellent. The old Los Angeles Angels PCL cap would work for that too... if you read from bottom up. Looking at the neatly organized AL page, I see there is room for improvement in the NL page. That is, it would be nice to omit some of the wordiness (much of it my own) that attempts to explain all the pre-1900 franchise shifting. It needs a simple section called "Charter Members" like the AL page has, with some footnotes indicating what happened to them and when. Or maybe two sections: 1876 Charter Members and 1900 "Classic Eight" Members. For example, the Atlanta Braves are arguably the direct descendants of the Cincinnati Red Stockings of 1869-1870, and definitely the sole surviving charter member of the National Association of Professional Baseball Players, which is kind of an awesome fact to us historians. And there are also a few teams that are the last survivors of the American Association. Then there is Wrigley Field, Chicago, the last relic of the Federal League, but that's another story. d:) Wahkeenah 05:32, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

One question about the PCL. I gather you're in the Bay Area. But I wonder if anyone can pin down the exact dates (or range of dates) when L.A.'s Wrigley Field was razed. The Internet seems to parrot the same vague "1966" reference. There must almost certainly be something in the L.A. papers about it, around that time. Like you have nothing better to do. d:) Wahkeenah 05:32, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

  • I added the sections in the lower portion of the NL page that I had mentioned. I have not actually altered the earlier text yet. Please review (unless someone else gets to it first). Wahkeenah 06:38, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oakland Athletics: All-Time Team

Don't get me wrong because I'm a big A's fan, but I don't see how this article is wikipedia material. The article is the all time A's team according to thebaseballpage.com, what about other people's all time A's? Also this article, while verifiable, does not seem to offer fact but somebody's subjective analysis, or opinion. I'm nominating this article for AfD and I guess you can make your case there. Please don't take this the wrong way. Dspserpico 07:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Steele.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Steele.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 22:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Bill-king.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Bill-king.PNG. 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Gamaliel 23:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
