[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Nl 1958 losangeles.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Nl 1958 losangeles.png. 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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 17:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Las Vegas 51s

Hi. I noticed you updated the 51s' season-by-season record with this year's final results. However, you didn't update their total record (franchise wins/losses, etc). I would have done it myself, but I couldn't tell if you were keeping a running total. Thought you might like to know so you could make the correction. :) -NatureBoyMD 21:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pittsburgh Pirates

Thank you for fixing the infoboxes for the Pirates seasons. I created a few of them but had no clue where to find the details for local TV or radio. It adds a touch of class to the articles. Nice work!!! Maple Leaf 19:41, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cincinnati Reds

Great job with the infoboxes on the Reds season articles. I've been so addicted to the Baseball-Reference Bullpen the past few weeks I've barely edited at Wikipedia. Fantastic work! jj137 (Talk) 22:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Years in baseball categories

I'm sure it was a good idea to create Category:1880 Major League Baseball season, Category:1881 Major League Baseball season, etc, which you did last week, but please don't forget to categorise the category. I found several of these categories in Special:Uncategorizedcategories and have added them to Category:Major League Baseball seasons the appropriate subcategories of Category:Years in baseball, because otherwise they would have been inaccessible to readers. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Milestone home runs

You may have an opinion on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Milestone home runs by Barry Bonds.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 14:35, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Barnstar of Life

		The Barnstar of Life
		I'm awarding this barnstar to you for knowing more about baseball than anyone I have ever met, and creating an amazing amount of baseball related articles as proof. Ioeth _{(talk contribs friendly)} 19:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1942 Philadelphia Phillies season

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of 1942 Philadelphia Phillies season, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/teams/1942phillies.stm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 19:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Loney

On Loney, you indicate that you deleted a reference because "recieving [sic] one vote for rookie of the year and finishing sixth is not notable.. If he had finished second or third or got a sizeable amount [sic] of votes then it would be ok."

Where do you find, other than in your POV, that finishing third is notable but sixth is not?

--Epeefleche 22:58, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I'd say that finishing third is by itself not notable.. but getting just one vote? If we listed every person who got one vote for every award it would really clutter up a lot of pages with unnecessary trivia. Spanneraol 23:50, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I think however one decides this must be POV. But look at http://www.baseball-reference.com/l/loneyja01.shtml . They think that it is notable enought to put on his baseball reference page. And we list top 10 in lots of other things in baseball, no?--Epeefleche 00:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Took me quite awhile to find that one note on his baseball reference page which just linked to a list of the award. Seems like an awfully trivial note to include. If his finishing sixth isn't notable enough to include on the The Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award page, why would it belong on his page?Spanneraol 00:32, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Odd litmus test. So you would pull mention of Tulo as well?--Epeefleche (talk) 07:19, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just Saying Hi

Hiya. Just wanted to post a note to thank you for starting stubs for Jack Cronin and George Sharrott. I noticed because i had "red links" to them when i wrote the stub for "Brewery Jack" Taylor, who grew up with those players on Staten Island. The researcher i'm assisting is very interested in early players from that area of NYC, and may have some additional info i can add to your stubs for those early Brooklyn players. I'll see what i can add.

Anyways, just wanted to say hi and thanks. Take care!

[edit] Stu Pederson

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Stu Pederson, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] AfD nomination of Ed McLane

I have nominated Ed McLane, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ed McLane. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. ukexpat (talk) 17:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Bob Fisher (baseball), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Article not needed. Very Short!

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SimpsonsFan08 (talk) 16:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] JUSTIN ORENDUFF / BLAKE DeWITT

If you must be anal retentive so be it. JUSTIN ORENDUFF is NOT in major league camp (optioned) and no longer has #62. BLAKE DeWITT is in camp and at present has #62 and may make the team w/ other Dodgers 3rd Baseman injured. Put your head back in the sand! ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.46.43.74 (talk) 16:08, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Orenduff is still on the 40 man roster and still has his number. DeWitt is not currently on the roster. IF he makes the team he will most likely be assigned a new number. We really have to go by the official sources here. The season starts in a few days. Also, being hostile does not help your point mr. anonymous IP. Spanneraol (talk) 18:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nebraska State League

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

[edit] AfD for Dorothy Ruth

I wrote the following at the AfD for Dorothy Ruth: Worldcat says the book is in at least 200 libraries in the United States. That probably makes it notable. See Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Creative_professionals, which includes the criterion "... had works in many significant libraries." --Eastmain (talk) 01:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Octavio Martinez

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Octavio Martinez, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Wizardman 02:40, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to Talk:1983 Seattle Mariners season has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

[edit] Barnstar

		The Working Man's Barnstar
		I, Street20, award this barnstar to Spanneraol for working on removing the all-time rosters from the baseball player pages. Some idiot(s) had put them up and you have been working hard on removing them. --Street20 (talk) 00:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BB post.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BB post.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 15:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clayton Kershaw

Fair enough, but that seems like a pretty good way to discourage a new contributor. I've got a lot of information to offer in the world of baseball prospects, but I'm not going to bother if it's going to be taken down 5 minutes later because you don't think it's newsworthy. The source leading to an MLB.com headline would seem to indicate otherwise. Cberejik (talk) 22:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Alvis Ojeda

I have nominated Alvis Ojeda, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alvis Ojeda. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
