Pitching stats

Any particular reason you went about changing the pitching category titles in infoboxes? I was just wondering. Michael Greiner 19:21, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm not sure that all pitchers need the same stats in their infoboxes. For instance, listing W-L records above saves on important closers seems like needless standardization; it's not an important stat for them, and in my view doesn't belong above saves just for the sake of standardization. There may be other important stats for other pitchers (the pitcher with the highest IP could have that as an important selected stat). Could we discuss this more at Talk:Trevor Hoffman? Thanks for your hard work. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 05:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Former teams

Please stop adding current teams to the list of former teams in MLB infoboxes, they do not go there. I have undone the ones I have on my watchlist, please undo any others you have done yourself.Chris Nelson 01:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AS indicated above, I am removing players' current teams from their former teams list, because it's not supposed to be there.Chris Nelson 01:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The template currently says "Former" teams. Therefore putting the current team is false, and should not be included until the template is changed. This is the only logical route.Chris Nelson 02:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You weren't leaving them as is, genius. Logically, I'm right on this. I don't care what kind of awesome super task force you're a part of. Putting current teams under a list titled "Former teams" is lying. It spreads wrong information. I'm all in favor of a template change. But it hasn't happened. I am putting the correct information for players under a certain category. Until that changes, I'm making Wikipedia more accurate. Report me for that.Chris Nelson 02:04, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank out (or delete portions of) page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Chris Nelson 04:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC) (please stop removing content)[reply]

Call me again.Chris Nelson 04:16, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. I understand you're afraid.Chris Nelson 04:19, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of course you don't.Chris Nelson 04:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay.Chris Nelson 04:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3RR on Glavine and Milledge

I wanted to inform you that one more revert on your part on either Lastings Milledge or Tom Glavine will be a violate of WP:3RR.Chris Nelson 21:44, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So seriously, you're wrong on this. Why can't you just leave it alone?Chris Nelson 21:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If your additions to Dolphins pages were good, then I'm all for it. People edit them still all the time. You do realize we both have the same opinion on the infobox right? I agree it should just say "Teams" and should look like the NFL Infoboxes do. However, this is NOT the case right now. It doesn't matter how much time you spent on an article, you're putting something on there that, according to the template as it is currently, is wrong. Don't you see that? I do not believe you're an idiot, and I know you know that "Former teams" was never meant to include past years with the current organization. Those are not "former" teams in the traditional sense, in the sense the infobox was intended. Your goal should be accuracy, and UNTIL the infobox template is changed (which hopefully it will be) then current teams do not go under the list of former teams.Chris Nelson 22:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So you're reasoning is that if I'm not going to seek out and correct EVERY instance of a mistake, I shouldn't correct any of them, even if they are in fact wrong? That's entirely illogical.Chris Nelson 22:47, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You know that's not what Former Team means. It means other organizations a guy played for previously. You are not a brain dead moron. You know I'm right. You're just trying to twist it around so that your edits aren't wrong, but you know they are. I'd also like to point out that two other people have changed those pages back to the way I had them since we've been in this whole debate, so obviously I'm not the only one who cares.

Sorry, but as an editor of Wikipedia I am going to correct any errors I see on pages I visit. I apologize if this angers you.Chris Nelson 22:56, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's your prerogative. Hopefully they'll change the template then they won't be errors to fix. In the mean time, I would recommend seeking psychological help.Chris Nelson 23:03, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you misunderstood about your first block, but you've reverted four times in 24 hours again. You are now blocked for 48 hours. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 23:04, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Captions

Why did you delete some of my captions, like on Tim Hudson and Rafael Soriano?Chris Nelson 06:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

No, I'm removing the former teams area altogether on pages where NOTHING IS LISTED BENEATH THEM! I UNDERSTOOD YOUR PREVIOUS MESSAGE! Soxrock 13:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because there were no teams beneath it. Soxrock 13:07, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean? These are Major League Baseball players, and all these edits make the links more precise. Having a bad day or something? I don't see one bit of a problem with the edits, and you tell me that they're not allowed. I want to see that in the policy. Soxrock 13:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Teams in Infobox

What is your rationale for not allowing college and minor league teams under "Teams" in the infobox on the Jeremy Sowers page? Is there a discussion somewhere stating this policy? If there is, then why are Japanese League teams allowed? Last time I checked the Orix Blue Wave were not a major league team, and yet Ichiro has them listed under his teams. If you don't want minor league teams listed then be fair across the board and rename the section "Major League Teams". Truth of the matter is that the listing of the minor league teams is the only listing that makes any common sense. Listing a players former and current major league teams when 99 times out of a hundred they are discussed in the article strikes me as just being redundant filler while telling the reader what college and minor league teams someone played for is telling them something that's actually useful since that part of their careers is largely ignored in many players' articles. Truth of the matter is that this all goes back to the fact that the powers that be who control things here are prejudiced against the minor and independent leagues. They have banned pages for minor league players because they are supposedly not notable, yet tens of millions of people are fans of these players. I think that's notable. More people attend minor and independent league games per year than major league games. I think that's pretty notable. Most people live too far away from major league teams or are too poor to see them in person. Most people live close to and can afford to see minor league teams. For tens of millions of fans, the minor leagues are notable enough to spend their hard earned money on. Yet they are not notable enough for the elitest snobs of the WPBBP.Kinston eagle 04:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per your new policy of only allowing major league teams in the info boxes, I have eliminated as many of the Japanese League teams from boxes as I could find. I hope this helps.

In regards to your justification for eliminating minor league teams in Jeremy Sowers' box "Proffessional Teams are only allowed under Teams". This may come as a great shock to you, but minor leaguers are paid to play baseball and they are professionals.Kinston eagle 12:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, nowhere on that discussion link you sent me does it say anything about minor league teams not being allowed on the infobox.Kinston eagle 12:31, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

199x Major League Baseball season

Hmm, I'm not sure what you meant to do by tagging these with CSD G6 (housekeeping). I have removed your tags, but do not hesitate to retag them if you think there's a reason to. Regards, --Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 18:47, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
