[edit] Fair Use Image removal from userpage

Hi. I removed many fair use images that you were "using" on your userpage. Fair use images cannot be used in that manner. It appears that you may have just been using your userpage as a sandbox, which is fine, but when you are done editing, especially when using fair use images, you should remove them. You still have quite a bit of fair use images on your userpage in the anime (I think?) series boxes. If you are done with those, just remove that entire section. If not, please remove the images at least from your userpage. Please see fair use policy for more information on the restrictions on using fair use images on Wikipedia. --MECU≈talk 19:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Baseball

Image:Baseball (ball) closeup.jpg

Greetings fellow baseball fan! I notice you've made edits to baseball articles and thought you might want to become a WikiProject Baseball member. Among other things, we've recently started an article improvement drive just for baseball-related articles at WP:BBAID. Please take a look and vote on an article or add one of your own. Once an article has been agreed upon, feel free to stop by and lend a hand in getting it to featured article status. Hope you can participate! —Wknight94 (talk) 02:20, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major League Baseball Lore

I hate to keep poking at the Major League Baseball Lore article but doesn't the 2004 postseason write up belong in the 2004 American League Championship Series article? —Wknight94 (talk) 17:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ballparks

Working too long on any one edit presents that risk. It's better to work on something for a little while, say 15 minutes, and then save what you have so far. Just like you would with any other document. Meanwhile, I want to know if you have a problem with any of what I wrote that you reverted. I don't want to necessarily put it back if you're going to zap it again. Wahkeenah 13:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

It's good to see I'm not the only one staying up too late due to wiki-additiction. :) Arguing about Yankee Stadium? I don't recall. I can't remember one editor from another after a day or two. On reflection, you're right, the stuff about championships and trends is overkill. A lot of that is in the main articles. This article is about what makes the park physically unique in a broad sense. So the reasons for the closeness of the Yankee Stadium and Pac Bell right fields should be in their main articles article, and just the mere fact of these things is sufficient for this summary. Wahkeenah 17:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MLB Infobox

Why did you remove the ownership section from the infobox? That is quite important information about the franchise. Owner, manager, and GM should all be included in that section, in order to make leading personnel easy to find, and not just buried in the article. Perhaps adding the owner at the top looks a little out of place, but it should't be removed. I added that at 2 AM (and screwed it up multiple times before getting it to work!), but if i would have had more time, I would have added all 3 of theose people under a section called "personnel." Get back to me on this. Mr. Vitale 22:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pittsburgh Pirates

Any particular reason for removing the Pirates' alternate logo in this edit? Thanks --M @r ē ino 14:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boston Red Sox

Why exactly did you alter the article to claim that they are based in Baltimore? IrishGuy ^talk 02:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

That's called "copying and pasting and then forgetting to change something." I never do that. Well, hardly ever. :) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 02:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure the Baltimore fans wish the Red Sox were playing there. The demise of the Orioles in recent years has given new meaning to "O's". Maybe they should follow the lead of the Angels and call themselves "The St. Louis Browns of Baltimore", since that's pretty much how they're playing these days. Those B-teams have had some past rivalries. Late one season, around 1970, somebody sneaked on the field at Memorial Stadium and used a herbicide or maybe gasoline to burn the words "RED SOX" onto the Baltimore infield grass. I wish I had a photo of that someplace. They had to hurry and cover it up, what with the post-season coming. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 03:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cathedrals

Well, that's a touchy subject. I've become a Babe Ruth fan over time (though not particularly a Yankees fan), and I'm quite interested in the history of ballparks, including Yankee Stadium for sure... but the 1970s remodeling was, to me, like replacing the Chartres Cathedral's famous stained-glass windows with plain glass and window clings purchased at Wal*Mart. :( Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 18:50, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New York Yankees

[edit] Yankee number 34

The New York Yankees have not retired this number yet. The player to which you attributed the number, Elston Howard, wore number 32 and that digit was retired in his honor. So, if you could, please correct this.

BTW: Number 34 was last worn by Mel Stottlemyre, both as a pitcher and coach. Though it would be nice if it were retired for him, I don't see that happening any time soon. Rollosmokes 18:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

"Hah! Thank you so much. If you look at the edit when I added them all, I put in a link to number 32, which led to nowhere. When I looked I realized that I had linked to an image that didn't exist, since I'd made 34. I linked to that one, thinking that the mistake was in linking to 32."

"Fortunately, I made an image of the circle with the pinstripes, and numbers 1-0, so I can easily make any number. I'll get right on this, and, thanks again."

I'm glad I could have been of service to you, a fellow Yankee fan. Rollosmokes 06:32, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Yankee Stadium name

I do not think we should change the article name yet until the new stadium opens. If no sponsor name is in place, then we'll worry about it. One model to look at is Busch Stadium, which was only changed to the new stadium after it opened.

This new stadium is technically Yankee Stadium III, as the current stadium has been referred to as "Yankee Stadium II" or "The New Stadium" since the 1970s renovations.

I'll put this on the talk page. Milchama 17:46, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New York Yankees GA/R

New York Yankees has been nominated for a good article review. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to good quality.

[edit] Yankees

While I can understand the need to trim the megillah about the early history of the Yankees, I also think it's important to retain the facts about their nickname so that the average reader won't be misled into thinking it magically appeared overnight in 1913. "Yankees" appeared about as early as "Highlanders" did, and was in regular usage, along with "Highlanders", for much of team's decade at the Hilltop. By 1908, the New York Times was apparently using it exclusively. Baseball Bugs 00:51, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Retired numbers box

Please stop placing these at the top of the page. If the template is really necessary (which I'm inclined to think it's not) it should at least be placed much further down on the page wherever the player's "legacy" information is. HokieRNB 19:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball Nicknames

[edit] Baseball "Nicknames"

Hi SWoD. I am sorry to say it, but I think the "nicknames" that you have added to the pages of all 30 teams in Major League Baseball have got to go. They are unsourced and unofficial, and do not belong in an encyclopedia. Names like "Redbirds", "Blue Crew", and "BoSox" are journalistic flourishes; it is always clear from the context what is meant, and a reader who had not heard of such names does not need to be told to use them by an encyclopedia. Names like "the Rocks" and "the Bravos" practically seem like you made them up just to have something for each team. There are a few names, such as "Bronx Bombers", that have enough usage to perhaps merit mention somewhere in the article. But even these do not belong next to the actual team name, in the introductory paragraph or the infobox.

In conclusion, "Dodgers" and "Yankees" are official team nicknames. Any other nickname is unnecessary to identify the team. You are likely to disagree with me here; as far as I can tell, you are the one who added all these nicknames to the pages. If that is so, then I would like for you to choose the forum in which we can discuss the matter. --BlueMoonlet 00:13, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Where does it say anything in the infobox about "official" or "unofficial" nicknames? For that matter, why doesn't the separate line for "nickname" seem to work in the template? Baseball Bugs 06:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I have put a number of them back. BlueMoonlet needs to study this subject a little more closely. A few of them are recent media (read: ESPN) inventions, but the teams themselves use many of them, sometimes in their own logos and publications, and in some cases for years or even generations. A good example is "Redbirds", which not only is a synonym for the Cardinal bird, but is also the inspiration for their own mascot, "Fredbird"... as well as being the pet name of the team frequently used by Harry Caray during his quarter-century doing their games, and also other broadcasters, all of whom were or are subject to approval by the Cardinals organization. In another example, one of the Oakland A's logo says "A's", which gives it official status, stemming from the days when Finley owned the team and encouraged the nickname "A's" as well as displaying it as the logo still used today. As yet another example, the Baltimore Orioles have used "O's" in their official publications. Some of us old-time Cubs fans don't like "Cubbies" very well, but they sing it that way every day at Wrigley Field, with the full knowledge and approval of Cubs management. Baseball Bugs 10:59, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

It's important to keep in mind that many of today's "official" nicknames originated in the media. The teams themselves later embraced them for marketing reasons, just as they have in turn embraced many of these "alternate" nicknames. Of the pre-expansion teams... "Dodgers", "Yankees", "Cubs", "Giants", and "Pirates" ... at least ... all originated in the media rather than being "chosen" by the teams up front. Baseball Bugs 11:20, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I invite both of you to discuss the matter here. --BlueMoonlet 15:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

So noted. I approve deletion of my comments from this page if SWOD wants to. Baseball Bugs 17:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't see the point of "trying out" unsourced nicknames on the the team pages themselves. They can just as easily be discussed on talk pages. As they are now, they should not be in these articles. Fortunately for you, I didn't care enough to undo all of them.►Chris Nelson 04:23, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball Nicknames

Thanks for you comments about the nicknames. Team nicknames is a subject that has always interested me. I've kept the History of baseball team nicknames page low-profile (only linking it from the the broader List of baseball nicknames page) until I feel like it's done better (especially the intro, which is too long and has too much that sounds like "original research") and/or someone else has had a chance to critique it, as it's almost entirely my own input, a "pet project". I am inclined to agree that ballpark nicknames could be another section. Two things to be careful of: (1) the length of the article, which may require breaking into separate sub-articles; and (2) some yahoo demanding citations for every last one of them. I ran into that problem with some idiot editor on a page about city nicknames (he wanted specific citations for Chicago being the "Windy City" and Boston being "Beantown", for example) and I put myself on a 48-hour block to cool down.

I share your disgust with the deletionists. I'll take a look at the link and see if I can add anything to it without it getting my blood boiling (which is dicey, and is why I seldom watch the "Images nominated for deletion" page). I knew that my uploaded Polo Grounds illustration might raise a fair-use question, but I wasn't prepared for the "you could redraw it" argument, which as I see it would be blatant "original research". The "fair use" page is extremely complex and basically useless. It should boil down to the simple axiom which is buried somewhere within that megillah: "Where's the harm?" And there's no harm in a small illustration of uniforms. I would say this, though: If, for example, they are copied from a recent work, e.g. Marc Okkonen's exhaustive volume on the subject (a great reference for my team nicknames page, by the way), it would probably be a good idea to seek permission.

As for my user name... thanks for noticing. :) And if you're interested in another megillah, read this link that I included in the externals for Baseball Bugs. [1] It's a mock-serious analysis of the cartoon. When I decided to come back with a much-narrower watch list, after nearly quitting last May, following another stupid argument over another stupid issue (and purposely having my old user ID blocked for that reason) I was stumped for a new name. Then I recalled the cartoon "Baseball Bugs", which was one of my favorites and which I had already pointed out was a now-obscure play on words (typical of the WB artists) having to do with "bug" as an old synonym for "fan", something more akin to "fanatic" than the word "fan" actually is (which comes from "fancy", not "fanatic"). "Bugs" or "Bugsy" as a noun or adjective meant "crazy", and everyone who had that nickname in the first half of the 20th Century got it for just that reason. That nickname is passé now, although the expression is still recognizable in the verb form, as in "that bugs me". And it does have to do with insects, as someone who is "buggy" is liable to be agitated, as if he had bugs crawling on him, which I would assume is where it came from originally. Which will bring us back to "Do"... er, no, back to word origins. I could go all night on that subject. :) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 06:15, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

One other thing about nicknames. Sports figures have inspired countless nicknames, especially for baseball players. Some of those nicknames in that list are "Bermanisms", which could practically be an article unto itself, and would drive citationists "buggy" (to coin a phrase). It also occurred to me that listing them by team is kind of tedious, and it might make more sense to list them alphabetically, especially if team and ballpark nicknames are off-loaded to make the article somewhat smaller. The team nicknames page is practically there already, except I could add more of the "unofficial" nicknames. In the article, I've added only the most obvious unofficial nicknames that are easily cited if someone presses the point. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 06:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I've voted for "keep", on principle, and pointed out that this hare-brained notion of inventing home-grown drawings not only makes wikipedia look like it's run by amateurs (which it is, technically), but it also amounts to original research, which is forbidden by wikipedia policy. The deletionists are so hung up on their blinders-on zeal to delete, that they don't think about the bigger picture (pardon the ironic metaphor). Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 08:48, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball team nicknames

You've been doing a lot of work on nicknames. I think it's fair to keep that digest of team nicknames in the nicknames article, as you've done. I wrote the separate article about the history of the [official] nicknames, which I took to be too much minutia for the main nickname article. However, it has gotten kind of elephantine. If that subject interests you, I invite you to take a look at it and suggest ways to improve it. I know already that it has repetitive information due to the hodge-podge effect. I'm thinking of re-arranging it by chronology rather than by team alphabetically, to remove some redundancy (how many times do we need to re-explain the Red Stockings / Red Sox / Reds story?) and emphasize the evolution of the nickname concept from ballclub self-identification to popular media tag to corporate logo.

[edit] Baseball Uniforms

[edit] Socks with uniforms

Can you include socks with your template. Many teams uniforms, like the Red Sox, are characterized by their socks.

Also, can I ask you to create uniform boxes for the eight teams of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball? Most of your current templates would suit most of the teams, with the exception of York. JaMikePA 01:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for including socks, they look great!

[edit] MLB uniforms to Commons

Hi!

It's so great that you created freely-licensed images of major-league baseball uniforms! I'd like to use them in the Hungarian wiki and I think editors in other wikipedias would appreciate if they can use it as well. So, do you mind if I upload them to Commons? Thanks, Hu:Totya (talk!) 19:35, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Silent Wind!

When I asked it there was no dispute about the license of these images. Now I'm a bit afraid to upload it to Commons as license is treated very seriously there, if it's not absolutely clear then it's deleted. Also there's no "fair use", every picture must be free. I didn't follow the dispute, so please let me know what's the license status of these images now? Are they clear?

About Commons: Yes, it's a different account, it's pretty much like another Wikipedia but with less article and a lot more pictures. :-) Anonymous upload is not allowed, but if you have an account you can easily upload a new version of an image, just like here. If you don't want to register, I can update the images for you. --Hu:Totya (talk!) 00:21, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question/Request

I've seen a lot of your work on the baseball teams' pages. Would you be willing to work on a picture of uniforms for the Tampa Bay Rays?

[edit] Red Sox alternate 2 - green

There is a fourth Sox uniform called "Celtic green", which refers not to the Boston Celtics, or "Peter Pans" which reflects color of Fenway Park. These uniforms are worn on St. Patrick's day. Could you add it Sox uniform image you created?

Example is here.

[edit] Phillies alternate

The Philadelphia Phillies unveiled new alternate jerseys. I don't know where to find an image, but I just wanted to give you an FYI. --Alien joe (talk) 00:01, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't know where to find it on the web. I live in the Philadelphia Blackout Market, and only saw it on TV. Try [2] --Alien joe (talk) 00:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I uploaded the alternate uniform, which I recolored myself. --killervogel5 (talk)

Thanks for the updated uniform image, but I wanted to let you know that the uniform has been reported as cream-colored, not white. There are several links to the unveiling press conference (just search Google) that show the uniforms being a very light off-white. Also, seeing as the uniforms are modeled after the Phillies' 1946-49 uniforms, I would guess (though you cannot tell from the press conference images) that the socks will be blue, not red. Thanks! --killervogel5 (talk)

- No, I didn't mind the rewrite at all. There probably are some lighting issues, but I went ahead and updated it last night anyway. If it turns out to indeed be white, I can gladly put it back the way it was. Thanks. --killervogel5 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 16:34, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

So what are we using for the source now that the Phillies have worn their uniforms outside? It's really difficult to tell, because every news outlet including the Phillies website reports them as being cream or off-white, but they really do look almost white. Look here in the Phillies photo gallery for pictures of today's game. Killervogel5 (talk) 01:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Socks

Why no socks? Sure, most players choose not to show them off, but a pair or stirrups and a pair of sanitaries are an important part of a baseball uniform. Senor k (talk) 12:55, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Football Uniforms

[edit] Chargers uniforms

Hey, nice additions to the NFL pages on the uniforms part, to go along with the other sports pages. But you made a mistake on the San Diego Chargers uniforms. Remember, they switched back to white helmets this year when they redesigned their uniforms. Otherwise, good job.Jgera5 (talk) 16:23, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I also want to add that the templates for the Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all wrong as well. You have the old Vikings uniform style on there, and neither the Rams nor the Bucs have a third jersey, even though both of what you have listed is sold as "fashion jerseys". Just wanted to add that as well.Jgera5 (talk) 16:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Beat me to it. Was going to remind him of the white helmets. Pats1 ^T/C 03:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NFL uniform images

I see that a few people have posted a few complaints above about the NFL uniform images you recently uploaded and added to appear Template:NFL team. I have a more basic complaint: I would prefer you do not use the terms "Home" and "Away" because NFL rules state that teams can choose whether to wear their colored jersey or their white jersey at each home game. For example, the Dallas Cowboys, the Washington Redskins, and the Miami Dolphins traditionally wear white at home. The Carolina Panthers, the Houston Texans, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and a couple of other teams traditionally wear white at home during half of their home games.

Because Image:NFCE-Uniform-DAL.PNG, Image:NFCE-Uniform-WAS.PNG, and Image:AFCE-Uniform-MIA.PNG are not accurate because of the "Home" and "Away" labels, and the other accuracy complaints posted above, I am going to temporarily disable it on the template until you fix this. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:55, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree. I think some representation of the uniforms should be there, but it can be done differently. As Chris was saying (see two sections above), most teams mix-and-match their pants/jersey combos, so it can be confusing. Pats1 ^T/C 03:19, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

The template has been reverted so the images can be shown again. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:40, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chicago Bears uniforms

I like the uniforms, but it seems that for the Chicago Bears when you created the uniform you forgot to create the orange alternate home jerseys that the franchise wears. I would like to know if you could create that one too, please. --Happyman22 (talk) 00:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Miami Dolphins uniforms

Regarding your picture of the Miami Dolphins' uniforms, you are missing the jerseys they wear at every home day game - white on white. They only wear aqua at night games or on the road when the home team elects to wear white. White-on-white is their most frequently used jersey.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 18:08, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Well white-on-white is worn pretty much all the time. Do you think if I told you a list of Dolphins uniforms you could make a pic of it?►Chris Nelson^Holla! 05:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Well basically, here's how the Dolphins' jerseys break down right now:

White-on-white - home/away
White-on-aqua - alternate away
Aqua-on-white - Night home
Aqua-on-aqua / Orange-on-white - both alternates, though neither has been worn for quite some time.

Well if I may be nitpicky myself for a second, it's aqua and not teal. Teal is the Jags' color. ;)

But anyway, what about this: how about you make a pic, similiar to the original pic, with all five combinations in this order - white-on-white, aqua-on-white, white-on-aqua, aqua-on-aqua, orange-on-white? No labels or anything. Any section on jerseys at the Miami Dolphins article can simply have text explaining their usage. But do you think you could make a pic of those five combinations side-by-side like your original pic, minus labels?►Chris Nelson^Holla! 06:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

And in case I wasn't clear, when I say color-on-color I mean jersey first, then pants.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 06:11, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The JaMikePA Saga

[edit] Orioles uniforms

You need to check out the current Baseball Hall of Fame site for the actual uniforms. The O's don't wear black pants, and haven't in any recent season. The home cap has an orange brim. Don't revert something because you feel insulted that someone edited your picture or article when you were wrong.

JaMikePA 22:17, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] D-backs uniforms

Also, it is obvious that the D-back template was created by someone who didn't know the correct uniform design. Your template is grossly inaccurate and obviously not from the Baseball Hall of Fame site.

JaMikePA 22:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uniforms

Obviously you're the one who's pissed about someone changing material you created. Your D-backs template sucked. The colors were totally wrong, and the Orioles never were black pants. No, I'm not a fucking hermit, unlike yourself. I didn't insult you in the way you insulted me. I insulted your contribution for being inaccurate, so don't impose your antisocial BS on me. I am in the Army, so I am definitely not the antisocial one. Also, don't pray for me since it's obvious that any Christianity you may have is hypocritical and judgmental.

JaMikePA 03:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Silent Wind of Doom?

Also, given some of the nerdy interests you post on your page, you can't call anyone else a hermit. What is Silent Wind of Doom. Only nerds come up with silly, sci-fi names for their user names, as most people use something that actually has something to do with them personally. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JaMikePA (talk • contribs) 21:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] D-backs uniforms

As stated before, your Dbacks template is grossly inaccurate. The script is not in white, but sand. JaMikePA 15:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I see your point about the white, but the home jersey script has black outline, not sand.

Stop adding your grossly inaccurate uni pics to MLB teams. I am reporting you, as you don't care about accuracy. Take the Dodgers page for example.

JaMikePA 03:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't ever write to me like that again! I copied your message and reported it to an admin. You're the one being immature and rude. It is apparent that you're concern for accuracy is minimal and just want your 'concepts' on the MLB pages. You just want your images to be on every team page, disregarding the rules that Wikipedia is founded on. Also, not all of the inaccuracies are minimal. Take the Phillies, they don't or have ever worn a red jersey with blue piping.

JaMikePA 02:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MLB uniforms

Hi. First off: I'm not an admin and I'm not interested in getting involved in any personal dispute between the two of you. With that said I reported back to him my observations of the team uniforms he mentioned to me: User_talk:JaMikePA#MLB_uniforms. I'm not sure whose versions I was critiquing. I'm a Phillies fan, so I know that one well, otherwise I'm just looking at the online team shops and photos from recaps throughout the season. I'd suggest taking this to whatever wikiproject handles baseball. Let me know if you do, I'd be interested in the discussion. Thanks. ccwaters 12:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Let's get something straight, schmuck, you're not any kind of authority on this site. I don't have to talk to you, especially when you act like a jacka$$. Not every uni pic has to be of your design.

As for the errors: Washington Nationals, the alt is not a solid, white interlocking DC. There is gold and navy blue outline. Arizona Diamondbacks, as I told you before, the D-backs alts have the wordmark in sand with black outline, not white. I understand that the wordmark appears white with certain media, but look at the MLB fashion guide and any coverage of their uniform unveiling last year. Also, the home wordmak lacks black outline. Colorado Rockies, the alt is never worn with purple sleeves, but black. Seattle Mariners, the alt looked horrible with a totally different shade of blue and the wordmark is silver with Northwest green outline, not white with green.

It is not for you to decide whether a depiction is accurate, as your opinion doesn't hold water with the rules of Wikipedia. An encyclopedia is and always has to be the most accurate source of information, or else other sources will use the incorrect info, too.

JaMikePA 17:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

And the obvious solution is to post illustrations that have some sort of official standing, rather than trying to draw them just because the deletionists think that's how it should be done. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 17:41, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Deletionist Saga

[edit] Image:ALE-Uniform-BAL.PNG

Hi, please take a look at Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2007_August_24#Image:ALE-Uniform-BAL.PNG. If you would like to contest this deletion, you may want to contact the closing admin or challenge the decision on WP:DRV. You should refrain from re-uploading this image pending any form of review. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 08:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

It seems to be a common problem with Nv and his group. You might want to have a look at this arbcomm case proposal. I'm not asking you to get involved or anything of the sort, but I think you'll find the actors and the situation familiar. As it stands now, it seems like a small group has taken on "ownership" of the image deletion policy and replaced consensus with their own decisions, which tend to bear little relationship to the consensus on the IfD. Guettarda 13:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image Deletion

The accepted forum to take your disagreement about the image deletion to is Wikipedia:Deletion review. -Nv8200p talk 13:49, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Please take a look at the principles established by the ARBCOM in this case. -Nv8200p talk 13:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Where the deletionists will be waiting to pounce, I'm sure. Until this past weekend, I truly thought the issue was copyrights, which I can understand. When it turned out to be about making wikipedia look amateurish (as though mediocrity were somehow a good thing), I was shocked and appalled. And angry, and depressed. It's all very offensive. These characters are out of control. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 03:29, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another important deletion review

You didn't participate in the deletion discussion on this one, but you're as qualified as anyone else to judge whether the deleting admin respected the clear language and spirit of our deletion policy and guidelines. Here's the deletion review I initiated: Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Image:KinseyTIME.jpg. Best, Dan—DCGeist 07:00, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi - I changed the Boston Red Sox cap logo as you requested. I think 1 pixel top and bottom is far too stingy for cap logos, especially when its outermost color is white - it bleeds into the rest of the page (see Los Angeles Dodgers) but hope you think this new one is better.
