[edit] Infoboxes

Only add the main postion of each players in the infobox, not each positon that they ever played, I already warned you once, you are going against consensus. This is a Secret account 13:43, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Once again, let me ask you kindly to use edit summaries. You are making lots of edits -- take a couple seconds to let everyone know what they are. And keep up the good work on baseball articles. -Phoenixrod (talk) 03:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

If by good work you mean bad work...►Chris NelsonHolla! 04:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Hmm... I randomly checked only a couple of changes, and they seemed fine. What's the bad work? -Phoenixrod (talk) 06:21, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
A lot of the edit he is making are wrong and misinformed. --Rabbethan 06:27, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Where are you getting the information for your edits? A good number of the edits you are making are full of false information. Can you please fact check before you make these edits? Also, there is no need to makes 9 changes on a single page by editing and submitting them one by one. I'm sure once you get the hang of editing and fact checking, you will be a valued contributor to Wikipedia. --Rabbethan 06:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
There's been an issue with nearly all of his edits. Whether it's adding incorrect numbers, incorrect players, changing the way numbers are done, etc., he's making a big mess and nearly all his edits are having to be undone.►Chris NelsonHolla! 13:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tampa Bay Rays vs Tampa Bay Devil Rays

The consensus has been reached that players who played for the Devil Rays before the name change will have their articles state that they played for the Devil Rays and not the Rays. You can read the discussion here. --Rabbethan 17:45, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Player numbers

For the player numbers, I suggest you not take them from ESPN. They are inaccurate and when they add signed free agents to the roster, they will usually intially put up their old number. --Street20 03:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

When you change a player's number, can you please put a source in the edit summary? --Rabbethan 08:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Positions

When a player is a center fielder, there is no need for you to change the reference to say instead that they are an outfielder.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:44, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Devil Rays

your are becoming a pain in the ass with this,please stop they were colled the D-Rays last year--Rockies17 (talk) 04:20, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Templates & view/discuss/edit

I saw your question on Template:Oakland Athleticsabout the v/d/e on a table. Certain template styles (like Template:navbox) have them included, or you can add Template:Tnavbar-header to insert them "manually". Hope this helps.

The edit link points to the name of the template as specified in the template. So, the location indicated in the temp must be the acutal location of the temp. Hope this helps. Be sure to take a look at the coding of pre-existing tables to learn more. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 23:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] players positions

please do not add a players second position to the infobox, because when you do that there is a red link, you keep on doing it despite people undoing your edits, so please stop--Yankees10 (talk) 03:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Why don't we change the MLB infobox to accomodate multiple positions, like the NFL infobox? -Street20 21:22, 05 January 2007 (UTC)

good idea, do you know how to do that?--Yankees10 (talk) 21:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

All we have to do is de-link the field in the infobox, so that you can link it yourself.►Chris NelsonHolla! 21:59, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eddie Guardado

I have reverted your changes to Eddie Guardado. Guardado has not signed with the team. I would advise you not to make such changes without citing reliable sources. Caknuck (talk) 00:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Rabbethan 12:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template colors

If the colors of the MLB templates you were changing were correct, people would stop reverting them. --Rabbethan 00:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Haven't you noticed that everyone reverts basically everything you do?►Chris NelsonHolla! 00:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your controversial edits

Some of the stuff that you edit is wrong.
Let me just give some examples: You made an edit to Manny Ramírez which said that he was born in the Bronx when he was actually born in the Dominican Republic, which I reverted as vandalism. In the case of Josh Towers, he has not finalized his contract and the only things that we put in the roster templates are official. Not finalizing his contract is not official. In the case of adding numbers, you kept saying that Guillermo Mota was going to be #53, turns out he took #58. Other examples include saying that Geoff Geary was going to take #56 when he took #29 and José Castillo taking number #15 when he took #13. Some other edits that you do, like to the Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, and Tampa Bay Rays roster templates, is to delete the space between players who go by their initials, for example J. R. Towles. You would constantly change J. R. Towles into J.R. Towles and we would constantly change it back yet you insisted on reverting our edits back. In the case of infoboxes, you kept adding multiple positions so you would make the link invalid, which is why we added another part to the infobox so you can put in multiple positions without having any problems. Yet after we did this, you still added multiple positions to 'position' after you already learned that we added the 'positionplain' section to the infobox. I also just reverted your edit that you made to Template:Kansas City Royals roster in which you put Billy Butler as a designated hitter yet you should of have already learned that we strictly follow MLB.com when it comes to players positions. This is why when you put Ryan Braun in the list of outfielders in Template:Milwaukee Brewers roster, it was reverted. Other stuff that you do was to constantly change the colors in the roster templates even after we told you not to do it. The colors have already been established and there is no reason for you to change it. -Street20 22:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia's style is that there is a space between initials. I personally hate it, but that's the way it is.►Chris NelsonHolla! 01:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Pirates

Hello. I reverted your edits to {{Pirates}} and moved it back to the original place (you moved it to Famouse Pirates). If you are moving something, you first need to ask for consensus on the Talk page. Also the Pittsburgh Pirates do not need that space. There is already a template for Pittsburgh Pirates at {{MLB_Pirates_franchise}}. Pirates takes priorty over the baseball team since Piracy is the actual thing while it is only the mascot of the baseball team. Thanks! Deflagro C/T 22:09, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please don't "correct" talk pages

When someone makes a comment on a talk page, other editors should leave it alone except in cases where the comment violates policy, and even then, they need to mark the change. If someone is too illiterate to spell and frame a comment correctly, many of use that information in evaluating the comment itself.Kww (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:13, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bedard and Jones

I reverted both the Adam Jones and Erik Bedard pages for the time being, let's wait until the trade is actually announced/spoken of by someone with either organization. Thanks. CiTrusD (talk) 02:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)


I love fullhouse even though i wasn't born when it was originally played

[edit] MLB Player Status Changes=

Please wait for a team to make an official announcement before updating the appropriate pages. Very often - deals fall through at the last minute... or were nothing more than a rumor. An "agreement" is not official. JustSomeRandomGuy32 (talk) 19:47, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] All-Time rosters

You shouldn't be adding new people to Major League team all-time rosters until they actually appear in a game for that team. Those rosters reflect only people who have played for the team in a MLB game. Spanneraol (talk) 18:15, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Luis Gonzalez

The deal between the Marlins and Luis Gonzalez is not official. It's just an agreement at this point, it has not be announced, and it could very well fall through. Please stop posting it. --Rabbethan 19:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

If you take my reply to one of your incorrect statements off a talk page again, I will report you to an admin. --Rabbethan 20:01, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup hitter

Very interesting chart you've added to Cleanup hitter. If possible, could you provide references there? Thanks! Kingturtle (talk) 20:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

He can't... It's all speculation and projections.... Doesn't belong. JustSomeRandomGuy32 (talk) 21:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
We have references to make such a chart for 2007, if you like. Kingturtle (talk) 21:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Closer, Ace, Leadoff hitter, and Cleanup hitter

Will you please stop putting these unsourced statements to which you have no proof of in these pages. We have told you numerous times about this and the policies of Wikipedia. At this point, you are just becoming vandalous. Stop it. --Rabbethan 01:38, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

In response to what you said on my talk page, I didn't delete them, I re-hid them like Street20 had done. We (Chris Nelson, Street20, JustSomeRandomGuy32, Yankees10, myself, and others) have told you several times that the edits you were making to those and other pages needed to be sourced and about how you would go along with such a thing, but even after two months of having to revert numerous edits, a good number of them wrong, you have yet to grasp the concept that you need to check your sources before you make edits. So what I did is not "messed up", as you put it. Quite the opposite, I had to un-mess up what you have been doing despite what everyone has been telling you. --Rabbethan 03:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Stop editing those pages!! We have told you why, and you keep doing it! Projections, especially your terrible projections, have no place on Wikipedia! --Rabbethan 23:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Find a reliable source that addresses your claim, and add it to this article citing the source. Kingturtle (talk) 23:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Gregg.jpg

Image Copyright problem

It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:38, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AMill.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AMill.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Images from MLB.com

You can NOT use any images from MLB.com, or any other copyrighted images. --Rabbethan 21:40, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] things to read

As you continue to grow as a Wikipedia editor there are a few helpful pages for you to read. I realize there are a lot of restrictions in what you can do here, but I think you will also see that there are even more potentials in what you can do here.

Cheers, Kingturtle (talk) 21:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Step by Step (TV series). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Why must you ignore everything anyone tells you about how to properly contribute on Wikipedia? You can't use those images! Also, don't say that you got permission to use images that you didn't get. Getty is very strict about how their images are used. --Rabbethan 01:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Anibal.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Anibal.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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.

[edit] Jorge Sosa

Can you please provide a source for saying he is a switch hitter? All the sources I see say you are wrong. --Rabbethan 18:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, have you ever considered that the one source, an article posted almost 2 years ago, might be wrong when put up against all the most commonly used sources, such as MLB, ESPN, Baseball-Reference.com, The Baseball Cube, and Fan Graphs? Or maybe that he was formerly a switch hitter but no longer is one, like Nook Logan? --Rabbethan 18:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Bilde.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Bilde.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --Rabbethan 03:16, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Kotsay.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Kotsay.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image which is not under a free license or in the public domain and it has not been used in any article for more than seven days.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

[edit] Player's names

Just because a player's name is "Ben" or "Billy", doesn't mean that their given name is "Benjamin" or "William". Sometimes, their name is actually Billy, despite being unusual for a given name.

[edit] February 2008

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Rugrats, without explaining the reason for the removal in the edit summary. Unexplained removal of content does not appear constructive, and your edit has been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox for test edits. Thank you. Also removed template from Angelica Pickles and added nonsense to Tommy Pickles TheProf | 2007 12:05, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Kansas City Royals roster

Just a note on your recent edits to Template:Kansas City Royals roster. First, please do not add any protection templates to pages which are not protected. The template itself does nothing to protect the page -- only an admin can do that.

Second, please do not rely on wikis for solid information about rosters. This particular template should mirror the information found at the Official Royals website, which has Butler in the infield. Until that site changes where they have Butler, please don't change the template here. Thanks!--Fabrictramp (talk) 18:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of List of Rugrats characters

An editor has nominated List of Rugrats characters, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Rugrats characters and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 14:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
