[edit] Phillies seasons

Thanks for putting up the reference list on the Philadelphia Phillies seasons page. I was at a loss how to do that myself. Killervogel5 (talk) 14:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem! Anything I can do to help, gimmie a holler! EaglesFanInTampa 20:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I could use your support in starting a Philadelphia Phillies WikiProject. There's some info about it and a link to get to the petition on WikiProject:Baseball's talk page. Thought I'd let you know since you helped me out with that article. Killervogel5 (talk) 19:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Phillies WikiProject

Thanks for letting me know about it being suggested :) Whammies Were Here 20:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Phillies WikiProject...?

I do support the Phillies because they're a Philadelphia team, but my overall interest in baseball is not enough for me to get involved in this WikiProject. I don't think I'd do a poor job if I did contribute to it, but I think WikiProjects are best served and well edited when the contributors are passionate about the topic, not just so-so interested in it. I'm pretty active on the college basketball project, so for now I think that's what I'm going to generally stick to. Thanks anyway though. Jrcla2 (talk) 21:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Phightin or Fightin

As you suggested, I have sourced my claim that the correct spelling of the Phillies' nickname is "Fightin". My sources are listed on the Phillies talk page. I really don't want to fight (or phight) with you on this issue. I'm sure you are a dedicated Phillies fan (as am I). The revision is strictly academic and has nothing to do with any personal bias. Thank you. Also I think a PhilliesWiki would be great. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.110.235.140 (talk) 16:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

What's your deal? If anybody has a vendetta it's you. I mean, really, do you think it is at all possible that you might be wrong in this instance? I have a flyer from 1976 that says "Celebrate the bicentennial with the Fightin' Phils. I have also have a copy of the song "The Fightin' Phils" on 45, like the record on sale in eBay that I linked to (it's a crappy song, Phillies Fever is better---marginally). I have a Fightin' Phils t-shirt (similar to the one I linked to, but older) that I got at the Vet on fan appreciation day about a decade ago. Search the Daily News/Inquirer archive and you will turn up hundreds of articles where the team is referred to as the Fightin's. Type in "Phightin's" and you will get exactly 9 hits. If that's too local, go to NewsLibrary.com which sources 2052 news titles across the country. Type in "Fightin' Phillies" and you will get 916 hits. Enter "Phightin' Phillies" and you'll get 50. --Thefestooner (talk) 20:00, 9 April 2008 (UTC)70.110.235.140

[edit] To deal with the above issue...

We would have to get the page semi-protected by an admin. I'll see what I can do. Killervogel5 (talk) 16:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, the IP lied to you, because he changed the edits back and did NOT source them on the main page, just on the talk. Killervogel5 (talk) 16:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I applied that page for temporary semi-protection today at 1:02 EST. Killervogel5 (talk) 17:03, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

When you're a teacher, you learn to unilaterally solve problems. Killervogel5 (talk) 17:52, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Do you think we should take the step to get this mediated? We really can't change anything until we do. Killervogel5 (talk) 13:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I would say that the noble thing to do is to put all the spellings up there until we can get a mediator involved informally from the Mediation Cabal. The protection on the article has expired, so the other party will be free to continue making and reverting your edits if he continues to disagree. I will notify him via his IP talk page when I ask for mediation. Killervogel5 (talk) 14:06, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
There he goes again, I'm dropping it on mediators right now. Killervogel5 (talk) 20:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I received a message from EaglesFanIn Tampa saying my edit of the Phillies article is vandalism. I thought the point of having an online encyclopedia is to present the public with accurate sourced information. When I first edited the article you were condescending, the second time you were even more condescending and said that my edits were unsourced. I sourced them and still my changes were an issue. It is apparent at this point that it's two against one. EaglesFan said that the recent edits were neutral---how can have neutrality on an issue where there is only one accurate side. EaglesFan's sources are a City Paper (Phila area weekly) blog and MLB.com affiliated fan blog. I have sourced and can provide evidence of oficial Phillies memorabilia that say Fightin---stuff going back sixty years. So what I can't understand is how my edits are vandalism but the reversions are cool. Whoever the mediators are I hope they understand that central point. It seems EaglesFan keeps making this an issue (and Killervogel seems to back his opinion) because I had the audacity to change something he contributed. EaglesFan has yet to communicate with me to point out based on evidence presentd by both parties why he is right and I am wrong. he has yet to comment on the evidence I have produced. So far all I've gottenis warnings and snooty remarks. What is the deal? --Thefestooner (talk) 20:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Thefestooner

[edit] History discussion

I'm opening a discussion on the Phillies talk page about breaking out the history page. We could use some input. Thanks! KV5 (talk) 21:16, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Next step has been made; check out the Phillies talk page for more info. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 15:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar for the WP

Check out my sandbox to see my rough draft of a barnstar for WikiProject Phillies and let me know what you think on my talk page! Thanks. KV5 (talk) 02:22, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:MEDCAB

You have been listed as an active party in Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-04-14 Philadelphia Phillies. I am your mediator if the case still needs to be resolved. If you think that the case is resolved, say so on the page and I will delist it. Thanks. Mm40|Talk|Sign|Review 12:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rays' Attendance

It was just odd to me that a Yankee game didn't get many more people than the Angels game I went to last Friday. It kills me that I can't go very much because I live inbetween Ocala and Orlando. I just feel bad because I'm such a huge fan, but I have no job and no way to pay for the tickets, gas to get there, and the food. I've got some free tickets from the "fandemonium" thing they did last year, but they're only good for the last week in this month. Otherwise, I have to keep begging my friend who's hardly a baseball fan to take me, because I know she has a large source of income for someone under 20. They're good! The Rays are finally good, and I still can't go see them everyday like I would like to do, just because I live a good distance outside the area. Tampabay721 (talk) 21:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PARd participants list

As discussed at WT:USRD, the participants list at WP:USRD is being split by state. Since your name has multiple states next to it, "PA" has been removed from your name the large USRD-wide table, and your name has been added to the PA-specific table. This is part of the lengthy process. If this is in error, please let me know immediately. Regards, Rschen7754 (T C) 05:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:PHILLIES question

A message to all members from the coordinator: Please stop by the project talk page and contribute to the discussion regarding the Wall of Fame. We would like to reach a consensus ASAP. Thank you. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 15:51, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hockey at Tropicana Field

Hi!
I'm doing some research for the German Wiki and have got a question regarding Tropicana Field. Has the ice rink at the stadium been discarded after the Lightening moved to Ice Palace? Or is there still the possibility to play hockey at Tropicana Field? As far as I know, the Tropicana-Lightning relationship has only been a temporary solution. I saw that you are interested in the stadium and in hockey7other sports, so perhaps you are able to help me. thx, Fabi --84.168.202.207 (talk) 09:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
