In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

For any that update records this season

When you go to update the records this season, also update Harrisburg Senators seasons as well, as it has the info on records up as well. Whammies Were Here 16:41, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Timeline issues

It says that the Harrisburg Senators were founded in 1987 but the intro states they won several titles in the 1920's and 30's. I imagine there's been numerous different minor league teams in Harrisburg over the years, but do they have anything to do with eachother other than that they happen to have played in the same city? Limpidgreen345 (talk) 22:21, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

The Eastern League has listed the Senators as existing both in the 20's-30's, and their modern incarnation. Even the Harrisburg Senators will list in their record books as the old Senators being a part of the new Senators. Kind of imagine it like a Cleveland Browns type deal where some of the records and such have carried over to the new team. Whammies Were Here 08:31, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

What about the 1940's and 1950's?

According to http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/history/top100.jsp?idx=73, "Just before America’s full-scale involvement in World War II, Harrisburg gave pro ball another try, placing a team in the Class B Interstate League in 1940. In ten years of play (1940-42, 1946-52) the Senators, as a farm team of the Pirates, won a flag in 1941 with a sparkling 81-43, .653 record. Following the war, after seven years spent mostly in the second division, the Senators left the league following the 1952 season."

Is this excluded from the article for a reason? Or just overlooked? Sholom (talk) 20:09, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

There is a small little blurb about it in the article (2nd paragraph in "Original Senators"). Not in detail, but it is there. Whammies Were Here 22:04, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposals

Berkshire Brewers, Holyoke Millers and Nashua Angels should all be merged into Harrisburg Senators. All four are actually part of the same franchise at different stages of its history ( http://www.funwhileitlasted.net/2012/02/20/94-holyoke-millers/ ). Standing on its own, the first three articles are merely stubs. The Ink Daddy! (talk) 06:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

I support the merge, but first the info from these pages will need to be transferred to the Harrisburg Senators page. I will start by merging the talk pages to the Senators talk page. Later I will merge these pages to the Senators page the same way I did with the Akron Aeros, Trenton Thunder, Lakewood BlueClaws, Richmond Flying Squirrels and Ottawa Lynx baseball teams. Silvercoindinerman (talk) 17:07, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I redirected the pages to the Senators page. This article still needs a lot of work done. Silvercoindinerman (talk) 15:22, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

And I oppose the merge. Standard is teams when they are in different cities get separate pages. Since Silvercoindinerman is a sock his edits are beign reversed. -DJSasso (talk)
