[edit] Disambiguation links/piping

I know it's really annoying when someone picks out something you've done and tells you to do it another way so I apologise in advance for what follows. I just noticed your edits to MLB All-Time Triples List and that your "Jim O'Rourke" link pointed to this disambiguation page rather than directly to the baseball player. Though it's a really irritating procedure, it's always best to check if all your links are going to the right place. For example Jim O'Rourke (baseball player) rather than Jim O'Rourke or Jim O'Rourke (musician). If you want to link to Jim O'Rourke (baseball player) without directly showing it in the text like this Jim O'Rourke, all you have to do is add a vertical line "|" (press shift+\) between what you want to link to (first) and what you want the link to say. This is called piping and would look like this: [[Jim O'Rourke (baseball player)|Jim O'Rourke]]. You probably know all this already as you've done hundreds of good edits so sorry if you did and I'm being patronising or such. Thanks. Jellypuzzle | Talk 09:01, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits for List of Star Trek planets

Please stop adding links to the planet names on this page. It is highly unlikely that every planet will get a dedicated article about them since most are insignifigant and appeared once in an episode or merely given a brief mention in dialog. Anything added to them will be purely fan conjecture since no offical canon info is available. They will be deleted as worthless entries and fancruft. Certian major planets like Bajor do have their own entries because they played a vital role in the series and there is a lot of canon info about them. Likewise, a lengthy entry about such planets is unecessary because they have their own article with more information. Data on a planet should be confined into a single sentence otherwise it will be deleted as being worthless fluff. Everytime you make a dead link it gets filed under "Wanted pages" which fills up everyday and causes controversy because a lot on nonsense articles are asked to be made. Admins may come in and delete everything because they feel it's a waste of bandwidth here. Again linking planets will cause problems, not to mention annoy the hell out of me because I have to clean up useless edits all day. Cyberia23 00:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Will you lay off this page! You're still adding total fancruft BS to it and I suggest you stop writing long winded descriptions that have no canon references to support anything you've added. I'm working backwards of Z - A to overhaul the page and clean it up and all your doing is adding nonsense and making cleanup harder. Plus you deleted all the references for the episodes where the planets came from. Thanks, now I have to redo it all over again. Cyberia23 07:20, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blue Jays AL League Leaders

I recently came upon your work on the Jays AL League Leaders page I noticed you did some research and listed some of the their American League leading accomplishments. Possibly you could add the values for these league leaders. (As in George Bell 48 HRs in 1987, or whichever the stat maybe). I think it would add some extra valuable information to the page.

[edit] baseball player articles

Hi - thank you for your contributions to baseball player articles. However, I think you could improve quality of the articles that you create if you could follow the form for established baseball player articles. For example, Eddie Miller (baseball infielder) does not read like an encyclopedia article. A good place to start is Wikipedia:WikiProject_Baseball_players. Look at some of the pages users on that project have worked on for a guide as to how articles should be written. Please let me know if you have any questions. - Mattingly23 02:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Please, please, please add your sources to your articles. I'm thrilled that you are creating so many, but it would help tremendously if you'd add a link to your source. If you have any questions on how to do it, I'll be glad to help. Kathy A. 16:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

[edit] Miami Dolphins Coaching Staff

Mike Mularkey is no longer the team's offensive coordinator. He will remain with the team, but likely will not have that title. You can know this because the team is currently interviewing candidates for their offensive coordinator position. Mularkey will probably end up tight ends coach.

[edit] MLB All-Time Hit Batsmen List

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on MLB All-Time Hit Batsmen List, by Tecmobowl (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because MLB All-Time Hit Batsmen List fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

It's not properly formatted and the information is extremely trivial. There is little use for this here and the information is not notable


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting MLB All-Time Hit Batsmen List, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate MLB All-Time Hit Batsmen List itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 07:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just a suggestion...

Hello,

Please don't capitalise the types of statistics, as they are not proper nouns. Instead of At-Bat, Run, Strike Out, type at-bat, run, strike out, et cetera. It makes the page look a whole lot neater.

Also, less statistics is sometimes better.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexsautographs (talk • contribs)

[edit] Edits to player articles in the NFLactive infobox

I noticed you have made a number of changes that incorporate "statistal rankings" into the career highlights section. I have reverted them as I'm not sure they really enhance the quality of information. Saying a player ranks 425th all-time in a stat category doesn't seem like it qualifies. Most often, it "seems" as if the consensus is only to use all-time rankings in "important" categories where the person placed in the top 10. I don't know that a hard discussion has been had on this - but I have marked this for watching in case you have any thoughts. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  19:22, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Why was the info about Felix Jones removed from the Jerry Eckwood article? His yards per carry checked out against the Razorback Press Guide.

[edit] xxxx in baseball articles

Stop adding minor milestones of players, like 100 career homerun. Jaranda wat's sup 19:16, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


Please reconsider adding the numerous "three home run" games to the individual baseball season events pages. These events are far from unique. There may be some games that are important and noteworthy, such as a player who has done this on five or six occasions. Those are noteowrthy, and should be included, with a notation such as "this is the third of six occasions that this player did this ...."

You could certainly include that information on individual player pages, or in an appropriate team history section.

The same could be said for the "100th, 200th, etc" home runs. Those may be notable fpr players who hit 500 or more home runs, but would generally not be notable for players who don't reach those plateaus.

Also, please watch your grammar. You have been entering events such as: "Sammy Sosa hits 100th home run" It is more in the style of the written page that already exists to say "Sammy Sosa hit his 100th home run". Further, it is often the case that the word "the" precedes the name of a team. I have had to correct many entries for this. I don't want this to sound judgemental or such. I wish you the best of luck as it looks like we share a passion for a great game.TeganX7 01:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Highlights

Please dont overfill the infobox with unncessary things like 80th on the all time batters faced list or something like that, it should only be there if there in the top 10 or so of that stat--Yankees10 14:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

for the baseball players infoboxes, when a player leads the league in something please write it like this, for example if they lead the NL in saves in 1966 with 25 write: Led NL in saves in 1966 with 25, just to keep it consisitant with other infoboxes, thanks--Yankees10 03:09, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You still arent doing it

Can you please write the highlights like this: Led NL in games pitched in 1986 with 80, you write it like this: Led the AL in Games Pitched in 1986 (80), please keep it consistant with others--Yankees10 (talk) 17:07, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
