[edit] Season page

Good job so far on the 2008 Rochester Red Wings season page. I'll be curious to see how this goes over with the baseball wikiproject as they are generally opposed to most coverage of minor league baseball. I believe this is the first season page for a minor league team on Wikipedia. I recently began making pages for the Kinston Indians' seasons over at Baseball Reference's wiki, the Bullpen. I encourage you to contribute over there as well if you have the time. Good luck on this page. Kinston eagle (talk) 12:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Just like to point out that it was User:Branson03 that started the MiLB season pages. Proper credit to him. But thanks!-Philatio (talk) 04:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Babe Ruth

That one user might have been confused. Ruth played for the minor league Baltimore Orioles, as well as Providence. Obviously, he never played for the major league Orioles, as the Browns didn't move to Ruth's home town until 6 years after he died. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 02:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Didn't even think about that! -Philatio (talk) 03:15, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
You were right to revert it, though. They don't normally list minor league clubs in the infoboxes. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:36, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I just meant I didn't even think about the fact that the Orioles weren't even a ML team at the time! Philatio (talk) 03:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I turned in that one user "Imakewikipediacrazy" at WP:AIV. Although not active at that moment, he was a vandalism-only account, and I thought that fact along with his policy-defying name might buy him a permanent block. It did. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 11:07, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Riccardo Ingram

I don't know how to shrink the photo in an infobox. I don't get why it's stretching it beyond its normal size. You might try asking an admin and see where they send you. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 05:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

In the {{mlbretired}} template, there's an optional parameter for image width. I added it and set it to 150px as the image is only 159px wide to begin with. Daniel Case (talk) 13:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pater Patriae

I have given the user a warning that they're getting close to 3rr. You can, of course, make one more revert but you did the right thing going to me first. If this continues, we can protect the page. Consider tagging the edit with {{fact}} instead of just reverting. Daniel Case (talk) 21:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User name

Hehehehe. Your user name has to be one of the coolest I've ever seen. CHuckle. CHuckle ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 10:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I, on the other hand, have concerns that it might violate our username policy. While I don't personally find it offensive, it is potentially so, which can "make harmonious editing difficult or impossible". You may want to consider having it changed, Phil. Powers T 12:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes. See WP:UNC, which will send you to Wikipedia:Changing username. Powers T 21:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stew Cliburn

..How the heck can you tell which twin is in the center and which isn't, anyway? Ksy92003 (talk) 22:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Stu has curly hair in the back, while Stan's is evenly cut. At the start of the year Stu had a little more of a tan, but I think they've evened out by now. Figured out who was who in the first place by watching who would goto the mound to talk to the pitcher and who went to the mound to take the pitcher out. -Philatio (talk) 20:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
