[edit] Changes and reversions to this article
On 28 October, Techmobowl made very substantial changes to this article. Since then two users have tried to revert back to the way the article was previously, and each time the revert has been undone. To prevent this from turning into some kind of revert war, I suggest that any changes, corrections and additions to the article be discussed here on the talk page, and then we amend the article in a sensible way.

- I have no problem discussing this. You will notice that the two "people" are in fact one anonymous user and another who had no previous history. I have had a lot of trouble with a WP:Sock harassing me, and would suspect this is just another case. I do not believe the article, as it exists now, should be considered a start and by no means a finish. // Tecmobowl 04:31, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

- I am sorry that people have been harassing you. I meant you no disrespect by starting this discussion here I just wanted to be positive. You may notice from the edit history that I also contributed quite a bit to the page. I'm glad that we can improve things. Salim555 12:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
I think the article needs expansion in a number of regards. Firstly, there is almost no detail regarding his personal life. Secondly, there needs to be more on the events in his baseball career - the Rusie trade in particular - and his achievements. Thirdly, there needs to be some attempt to place his career in the context of baseball history. What do you think? Salim555 12:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- Would agree that the noted information would be welcome. All i ask is that it is verifiable, encyclopedic and does not fall under the WP:POV arena. As in, I would stick to the facts and don't dress it up with emotional text. The only thing i would be worried about is the last part. Certainly, there is a way of doing this that benefits the article, but it should be included carefully. I look forward to your response and additions to the article. // Tecmobowl 03:55, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Good article
Nice to see an article with citations to back it up, good work. Mglovesfun 23:46, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well thanks. I did a major rewrite a few weeks ago. Haven't looked to see exactly what's changed then but i hope this article continues to grow and develop. He was a popular ballplayer. // Tecmobowl 01:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
