Category:Major League Baseball Players Born Outside of the United States

Hey, the category you created is up for discussion, meaning it might get deleted. If it gets deleted all your work will have gone to waste as the category will be automatically removed from the articles they were added to. Adding the category to lots of articles doesn't really improve the category's chances of being kept. If you really want the category to be kept, the most prudent thing to do would be to advocate for keeping it at the discussion page (there's a link to the discussion at the category page). Best, --brew crewer (yada, yada) 20:30, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also ask you to refrain from adding this category to any more articles. It is close to deletion and you are only creating more work for other editors/a bot. Thanks--TM 14:41, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Thanks. What was your name(s) before those two who were banned? Clearly, you are a seasoned veteran of Wikipedia editing.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:24, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ryan Braun

Why did you make this addition to the Ryan Braun page ... [1]? It appears to be incorrect.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:26, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

I thought id tell you the User:2008 Topps is removing the category you created: Major League Baseball Players Born Outside of the United States from articles, apparently he thinks Canada is in the United States.--Yankees10 01:26, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Funny. Could be. Then again, some people thing the category should be deleted, and there is an AFD discussion about it. I suggested to Topps that he hold off for now, pending resolution of that discussion.--Epeefleche (talk) 09:52, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Schulz

I'm not sure if this was vandalism but if it wasn't, keep in mind, a lot of what's spoken on Red Eye is a joke. This means he's a hermaphrodite, African-American, homeless and Tiger Woods's mistress. Please read WP:BLPCAT. ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 15:05, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sliwa

Hiya! I was a little confused by the edits because the kidnapping admission was in the last sentence in the opening paragraph of the referenced Times' article: "Mr. Sliwa confessed that many of the early heroics that won the Angels fame -- including his own kidnapping -- had been faked." But I guess it should be clearer, so I found another ref closer to the incidents. Njsamizdat (talk) 13:46, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of guests on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld

Hello - since you put in a lot of work on referencing this article, I thought I should let you know that I've taken it to AFD: I hope you'll join the discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/List of guests on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. Thanks, Gurt Posh (talk) 15:30, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pat Robertson

I have reverted your two edits to Pat Robertson because the Borowitz Report is not a news site, it's a news parody site, à la The Onion. Let's stick to the idiotic things Robertson has actually said, instead of what a humor site has ascribed to him. Horologium (talk) 01:51, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New sources for Red Eye Guest List

Hello I see you have done a lot of work on Red Eye Guest List. I found one new source which shows some of the episodes each individual guest was on - the imdb website.

Also these two more sources may be of help to you. This is very tedious work so I'm kinda tired now doing it. Feel free to add more and use these two more references to help you add some more references which prove which guest appeared on the show. The imdb website seems to be more reliable than the hulu website right now. It would be hard for someone to argue now that a name on the guest list did not appear on the show (and should be removed from the list) when the individual's webpage at imdb lists all his work credits on the show and videos of him on the show.

http://www.hulu.com/red-eye - do mouseover of episode date to see guests for that episode or click hulu link to see video and also guest list for that episode.

ESPY's

Based on discussions at WP:Baseball it was decided that only official MLB Awards are considered notable enough for the infobox. ESPY's are not considered an official MLB award.--Yankees10 04:44, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited QI (H series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Buffalo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Your edits on Occupy Wall Street

In order to effect a change in even a silent consensus, one must discuss the edit on the talk page in order to gain a full consensus of editors. Since the page split you are the only one who has objected to the crime section being merged with the Police response section as is logical, encyclopedic and neutral in it's weight to the article. It appears that you are concerned that the article is perhaps too "positive". That may well be true and work is being done by many editors to fix such POV problems along with other issues such as spelling, grammer and focus. I am not against the section being added to the artcile in anyway that consensus agrees on, but at this point I feel you are edit warring a little bit as you seem to want to object, but not accept if consensus goes against you. You may be able to gain the consensus of editors if you expressed exactly why you feel the Reaction section, as it stands right now, should include a separate section for crime instead of being incorporated into the Police response section. Right now we are only two editors in a disagreement. If we cannot come to a way to work this out we can always use the Notice boards. The Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard may well generate a discussion if one fails to materialize from our current disagreement on the article's talkpage. If you wish you could start a discussion there if this is something you feel strongly about. However you also have other options such as requesting a third opinion. All within the guidelines of Wikipedia and probably a better idea than just reverting each other over the coming days! Happy editing and please remember we are not here to to take a stand but to write an accurate and neutral article. Thanks!--Amadscientist (talk) 07:53, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're supposed to put a heads-up on Gandydancer's talk page to fill out the DR/N form where it says "Have you informed all the editors mentioned above that you have posted this dispute? (If not, once you have informed them come back and replace the text "Not yet" with "Yes".)" I think the others can be considered informed. B^e——C_ritical 06:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the policy is to actually inform the recipiants on their own talk page in case thay have not seen the talk page on the article.--Amadscientist (talk) 07:10, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the dispute to be resolved and will not add futher input on the DR. The information has been added back and I will not remove it or edit it in any way. Thanks for the civil discussion. Feel free to expand the article and section without concern that I will dispute this further on the talk pages or by reverting etc. Happy editing.--Amadscientist (talk) 23:55, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus about ows

Hi there, I wanted to invite you to comment on the clarity issues on the occupy page. I noticed you're slightly antithetical to the political aspects of ows, but nonetheless you're a good contributor. We'd like you to chime in on the clarity (or lack of clarity) about what the occupy-wall-street article should cover (i.e. just the encampment, or the encampment plus marches, or everything under the sun!) so I look forward to seeing you there. 완젬스 (talk) 14:52, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter

Just FYI, we don't add external links to Twitter unless Twitter is the subject's primary web presence. If they have any other official web presence, we do not add links to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or any other social networking site. They are expected to be linked from the subject's official website and thus not needed. See WP:ELPEREN for details. Please stop adding them. I will remove them. And I suggest you help remove them, since you were the one who added them against guidelines. Yworo (talk) 19:01, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

citation needed

Hi, Racingstripes. On this edit of the Raymond Kelly article you added "{{Citation needed|{{April 2013}}}}" This added the page to Category:Pages containing citation needed template with deprecated parameters because the template is being used incorrectly. You wanted to add "{{Citation needed|date=April 2013}}" or "{{Citation needed|{{subst:DATE}}}}" (literally without replacing "DATE" with the date). I have been cleaning that maintenance category and I am trying to discovered why people sometime misuse the {{citation needed}} template. I think in this case, the template documentation confused you. Am I correct? I want to improve the documentation if it's causing trouble. Jason Quinn (talk) 04:09, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are 100% correct. I noticed the template was different than it had appeared in the past.Racingstripes (talk) 22:33, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
