Please give an indication of what kinds of edits we can expect from you when you are unblocked. Huon (talk) 17:23, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would mostly focus in sports editing. Ncaab, ncaaf, mlb, nba, and nfl specifically. Sorry, Im new to this and am not entirely sure how the reply system works

Types of edits

Mostly sports edits. I am big into sports (NFL, NCAAF, NCAAB, MLB) and with stuff changing so much I thought I’d be able to contribute with such stuff as players going to new teams, records, rosters, coaching staff, etc. LlamaWhoKnives (talk) 17:34, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The types of edits I’d made in the future are sports edits, specifically for the NCAAF, NCAAB, MLB, NFL, and NBA, including roster moves, coaching staff changes, etc. sorry for the immaturity in 2016.LlamaWhoKnives (talk) 17:36, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to reply on a talk page, you can write your reply right below the message you're replying to, just as you did in the section above. Please sign talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~); the wiki software will turn that into a signature that contains your username and a timestamp to make it easier for others to tell who said what. Please also keep in mind that Wikipedia content must be backed up by reliable published sources such as articles written by newspapers or reputable sports magazines; WP:Referencing for beginners explains how to easily create nicely formatted footnotes to cite the sources.

Hello, I'm TheBigMan720. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Houston Astros have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks. TheBigMan720 (talk) 21:33, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why? My contributions were correct. LlamaWhoKnives (talk) 22:00, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They were not correct. No manager was announced for the Astros yet. TheBigMan720 (talk) 22:01, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The asterisk was correct. The espada part was my bad it is heavily reported he will be the manager but not official yet. But the * is right

 LlamaWhoKnives (talk) 22:04, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Again the asterisk was not correct and mainly the notice was mostly the espada part. The was no official announcement about the Astros stripping their world series title. TheBigMan720 (talk) 22:05, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Asterisk doesnt imply the title is stripped, it implies the title was won by cheating or some other tainted way. From the wikipedia page

[* Competitive sports and games. In colloquial usage, an asterisk is used to indicate that a record is somehow tainted by circumstances*]

This is factually correct to add the asterisk as it is 100% confirmed they won by cheating. LlamaWhoKnives (talk) 22:10, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's not correct once again, The Astros still have their World Series title still. Asterisk means that the title has been stripped or vacated. TheBigMan720 (talk) 22:14, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is not true based on the own wikipedia definition of using an asterisk.

Definition: an asterisk is used to indicate that a record is somehow tainted by circumstances [*https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterisk#Competitive_sports_and_games*]

Using modus ponens:

1. An asterisks is used to indicate that a record is somehow tainted by circumstances 2. The Astros won the 2017 world series 3. The astros were confirmed to cheat to win the world series. 4. This makes their win tainted 5. Thus, an asterisks is appropriate

LlamaWhoKnives (talk) 22:17, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You don't get it. The MLB never stated today that the World Series was tainted, only the suspension of Lunhow and Hinch and a fine of 5 million dollars to the team were intiated to the Astros. So an asterisk is not used unless MLB mentions that the World Series was tainted officially. TheBigMan720 (talk) 22:21, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tainted (verb) in this context is defined as “affect with a bad or undesirable quality.” (Oxford dictionary)

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said, “I base this finding on the fact that the club’s senior baseball operations executives were given express notice in September 2017 that I would hold them accountable for violations of our policies covering sign stealing, and those individuals took no action to ensure that the club’s players and staff complied with those policies during the 2017 postseason and the 2018 regular season.

“The conduct described herein has caused fans, players, executives at other MLB clubs, and members of the media to raise questions about the integrity of games in which the Astros participated. And while it is impossible to determine whether the conduct actually impacted the results on the field, the perception of some that it did causes significant harm to the game.”

He certainly used words that described what the Astros did to win their world series as, as tainted is defined, “affect with a bad or undesirable quality.” LlamaWhoKnives (talk) 22:35, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This has been discussed on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball already. TheBigMan720 (talk) 22:36, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for discussing this with me. I will state my case for edits I feel are correct. I appreciate the respectful answers you’ve given. LlamaWhoKnives (talk) 22:38, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely I was not trying to come off as rude to you. TheBigMan720 (talk) 22:39, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
