They just keep ranting over Picard on the show’s talkpage and regurgitating, whinging about propaganda. I’d be willing to close the topic if you are.--CreecregofLife (talk) 05:22, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine.. wasn't going anywhere.. I really don't understand his comment about segregation... he's probably one of those people upset there aren't more straight white males on the show.. but that doesn't make it segregation. Spanneraol (talk) 13:09, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Did the Yankees claim AL East after clinching the postseason spot for 2022?

Hello Spanneraol. Since you undo-ed my edit on the New York Yankees article, I have to clarify with a question to ask you. Since the Yankees won against the Red Sox today, MLB stated that they clinched the postseason spot for the 2022 season, but does that mean they claimed the American League East division title of 2022? I did a quick edit for it after realizing they won and clinched the postseason spot. --Allen ^{(talk / ctrb)} 03:20, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They clinched a postseason spot but they have not yet clinched the division title. They could still wind up as a wild card team.. Their number for clinching the east is six games. Spanneraol (talk) 13:48, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Sam Field

The article Sam Field has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsure if this is notable enough for this baseballer to have an article based on the date of career and the absense of sources. The content is also just one sentence and two external links.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Revert

Hello Spanneraol, I'd like to explain my undo of your edit. The cited AP source says The challenge filed in Maricopa County Superior Court also alleges hundreds of thousands of ballots were illegally cast, but there’s no evidence that’s true. That does back up that the allegations were baseless, but it does not satisfy your addition that most election observers pointing out that these claims were baseless. starship .paint (exalt) 05:20, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Starship.paint: The language in the article is very POV though which is inappropriate for wikipedia.. the cited source does not say they are baseless... lack of evidence is not the same thing. I'd just like to get the language more neutral and read less biased. It should say what her complaint is and then say something about the evidence. Spanneraol (talk) 14:54, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the wording to “Lake’s complaint alleged that there were hundreds of thousands of illegal votes in the election, but no evidence was provided”. Does that sound neutral to you? Take note that WP:NPOV does not require Wikipedia to produce a neutral position. NPOV requires us to neutrally reflect the position of reliable sources. If reliable sources say “green”, Wikipedia must follow and say “green”, we can’t say “colourless” … representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic. - here the significant view is no evidence. starship .paint (exalt) 15:02, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That wording works for me, thanks. Spanneraol (talk) 17:29, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edits Reverted on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_The_CW

Good morning. Could you explain why you reverted my edits on the above page? They weren't intended to be vandalism. I genuinely thought that It would be useful to sort the acquired programs based on the country/network they came from. In addition, some of the acquired programs actually seem to be American shows that originate from The CW (based on their Wikipedia pages), such as Easy Money, In Harms Way, and Valentine.

I also noticed that many pages tend to separate miniseries from the other shows, which is why I did the same for "March"

194.80.233.40 (talk) 08:13, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is not necessary to separate the programs by country.. if someone really needs to know where the show is from they can click on the link. The shows you mention were not produced by the CW... they were part of a deal where the CW sold airtime to MRC. If there were many mini-series maybe separating them makes sense but we don't need a separate section for just one show. Spanneraol (talk) 15:23, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of explanation for recent change to Spectrum LA

Why is Prime Ticket's rebrand unimportant to the Spectrum SportsNet LA article? Your recent edit summary does not give any explanation or elaboration, making the edit look like an out-of-place, out-of-nowhere change that only serves as a detriment to the quality of the article. 100.7.44.80 (talk) 15:50, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prime Ticket was not rebranded until many years after the event in the article, thus it is not important to the narrative of SportsNet LA. The issue is that they had a deal with Prime Ticket and then signed a new contract with Time Warner.... what happened to Prime Ticket afterwards is meaningless and ads nothing other than confusion to the article.

Pecos League

Technically I did not delete the articles for the Pecos League teams they have been moved to the draft space to allow editors to improve the articles without them being permanently deleted. The reason why they have been moved to the draft space is because they do not meet the requirements of WP:NTEAM / WP:NORG. They lack any independent secondary sources, which is a fundamental requirement of WP:GNG. If supported sources can be provided which satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements, I would be happy to reassess my position. Dan arndt (talk) 09:37, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also used that Comic Book sites article for the sake of the opposing debaters who were also using the same place to make their point. Seems finding an actual reliable source for information these days for something like the shows we watch is in a sea of doubts and endless arguments.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Texas Rangers minor league players into New York Mets minor league players. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 01:55, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2024 San Diego Padres season moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 2024 San Diego Padres season, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

When I made the edits, I was referring to Zegler with Gal Gadot at the D23 Expo. There is available video footage of all the things I have mentioned.

PRODs

Hello, Spanneraol,

I'm posting a note about some articles on baseball players that you recently PROD'd. When you tagged these articles for proposed deletion, there was no notice placed on the User talk page of the article creator. You used Twinkle, which should have taken care of this for you so please check your Twinkle Preferences and make sure the box for "Notify page creator" is checked off. It's important, especially with PRODs, for article creators to be notified as the deletion rationale can often be a problem that they can address and then the tag can be removed. You used Twinkle to tag the page for deletion, which is great, so I think it is either a problem with the Preference for the editing tool or, for some reason, you unchecked the notification box. Please make sure with any future taggings that the page creator is notified. We do have a bot that will post a notice should the editor doing the tagging forget this step but it isn't 100% reliable. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:26, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bauer Revert.

You reverted my edit on Bauer's page because you felt the details of the settlement were not relevant. This seems less than objective given there are no lack of derogatory details about an alleged assault that haven't aged particularly well in many regards. If alleged details about the assault are relevant, how can the details of the settlement not be relevant? I can appreciate your position as a Dodger fan... and I'm sure you probably don't care for the guy, but objectivity is objectivity. Mmcdonald767 (talk) 01:12, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It has nothing to do with liking or disliking the guy, an entire paragraph about his dispute with Molly Knight is definitely excessive.Spanneraol (talk) 01:32, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, then that's what edits are for. Revert is a bit heavy handed. There are no shortage of details about the allegation against they guy. In that light, the facts surrounding the settlement are every bit as exigent and relevant. I'm all for making whatever tweaks you might feel are appropriate but to dismiss it as irrelevant in it's entirety falls short on the smell test. Mmcdonald767 (talk) 00:51, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Except the Molly thing was covered in just a couple of sentences, it was not a settlement for the entire case... it was simply dropped... and since it wasn't really a key part of the whole controversy it doesnt warrant it's own section. it just says... he filed a complaint and it was dismissed.. that seems reasonable without giving it undue weight. If Anything the allegation section could probably be reduced further... I cut it back from what was way excessive previously already. Spanneraol (talk) 02:13, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm good with that. That seems more objective to me. As a matter of fact, the settled case is probably the only thing in there to keep. The whole dropped business with deadspin et. al. was a total wash and so kinda immaterial to anything related to the settled allegation. It wasn't the same case and likely doesn't merit a new section. Mmcdonald767 (talk) 02:53, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Legacy of Clemente

Hey Spanneraol. So I have a bit of an issue with the page "Legacy of Roberto Clemente"; contrary to what the title says, it is nothing more than a list of quotes mention/praising Clemente which were mostly, if not entirely lifted from his Wikiquote page. What little relevant information on this page is already on "Roberto Clemente" (since that info was lifted from it) so I nominated it for deletion. However, there isn't much discussion on the page besides one person who votes "keep" on everything.

I was hoping, since you are a veteran at this thing, you would take a look at it and offer your opinion/vote. It is, IMO, an outlier amongst baseball pages and, as far as I can see, no athlete (regardless of sport) has such a page. Would be appreciated. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:36, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Further adding: I created a Template:Roberto Clemente for a list of things or people associated with Clemente so this page has little purpose besides being a list of quotes. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:38, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

He hasn't played in a year.. and Baseball Reference lists a final appearance for him. Most players dont actually announce a retirement they just come to a point where they don't get another job. If he ever plays again it can be changed back. Spanneraol (talk) 01:17, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The standard Wikipedia point of retirement is after 2 years. Sometimes players take a year off and then return (ex. Miguel Sano sat out the ‘23 season before signing with the Angels this year). I’m likely going to revert it just to preserve consistency. AmericanAssociationKnowItAll (talk) 15:30, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2023 Faith Day and CK

Full disclosure: I'm queer so I feel strongly about this.

Respectfully, I think its our job to be as fair as possible here. I don't see this section in CK's article as irrelevant or non-notable. There was a huge controversy over it last year with calls to boycott the Dodgers and anti-LGBT protests outside their stadium on Pride Night. He was the most prominent member of his team to speak out against it; very uncharacteristically too, I would add; he's usually silent or VERY careful about divisive social issues.

I've added back the info but shortened it further by rewriting it. But I don't think it should be reduced to two lines with nothing about why he responded, especially when the rest of the article is well-detailed. I hope you see where I'm coming from. Thanks.

Also, I've been thinking of writing an article so this can be reduced further. The controversy envolved a number of other players from other teams. But CK was the most prominent player to speak out and against his own team so it should be mentioned. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:29, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The event has not shown to have lasting notability.. giving it it's own two paragraph section is definitely WP:UNDUE. You are pushing your own personal agenda here which is against wikipedia policy and not "as fair as possible." Spanneraol (talk) 13:44, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not. I don't see how writing about a controversy is pushing a "personal agenda". Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:00, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are giving more attention to a minor controversy by giving it it's own section. Spanneraol (talk) 14:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to stress that when I wrote it, I did so in good faith and have no personal agenda here. Its part of his strong Christian beliefs and there's nothing wrong with saying that. Again, thanks for shortening it further and making it more neutral and to the point. I just wanted to explain why I feel its notable. Its clear we disagree but, nevertheless, I appreciate you hearing me out. I hope you have a nice day and that all is well. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:54, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, me again. While I have your attention, I noticed that the image in CK's infobox is outdated by almost a decade. Is there a way to get a more recent one? I'd check/change it myself but, for some strange reason, I can't access Commons. Thanks in advance. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:52, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The image is pretty good, and the article is about his whole career... I think image quality is more important than having a "more recent" photo. Spanneraol (talk) 05:25, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair. And I agree, its a good picture. Definitely a lot better than most active players' avalible images! Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:22, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

	Congratulations on the World Series victory. Then again, the Yankees beat themselves, so aren't they also World Series champions in a way? I am eating crow. This is also recognition of your strong edits in baseball, especially for LA Dodgers. – Muboshgu (talk) 13:47, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jorge Lopez (baseball)

If Jorge Lopez is a free agent please add the sources sentences at the end I do not see no reliable sources about he's a free agent so for now he is not a free agent yet not yet. More Least (talk) 23:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your right he is a free agent is on this website. – https://www.cubsinsider.com/2024/11/01/kyle-hendricks-and-jorge-lopez-elect-free-agency-caleb-knight-outrighted/ More Least (talk) 23:56, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats!

Congrats on the Dodgers' World Series win! I'm a Red Sox fan and am very happy the Yankees lost. I hope you celebrated :) TheApex150 (talk) 03:34, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Baseball/Archive_40#Inclusion_of_players_as_World_Series_Champions, every player on the postseason roster, not the World Series roster exclusively, is listed as a World Series champion. Numerous users, including myself, have repeatedly reverted back your edits despite some even citing this discussion; you are also the only one who seems to disagree. Please refrain from reverting it again.Mumbai0618 (talk) 23:38, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Mumbai0618[reply]

Dude, that discussion went with world series roster, not postseason roster... that has been the way it has been done for the last decade. Stop trying to go against consensus.. and no I am NOT the only one reverting your bad edits. Spanneraol (talk) 00:50, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but while we're being clear, I am not the only one who has been making the edits. I don't appreciate being singled out like this. Mumbai0618 (talk) 18:11, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Full season schedule??

Hey there. How are you?

So I just came across the 1963 Los Angeles Dodgers season page and found that an IP address added the full schedule and results in the page with the lineups of every game, all the umpires and even more. Pretty much what you would find on the BBref page, in other words. Now most of these aren't common feature on older season articles and I would remove it as its not really helpful to a casual reader. However, its clearly well intentioned and they've spent days at it. So I thought I'd bring it to your attention first. What do you think? Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I agree. The important information is already in the gamelog.. this seems excessive .. we don't need to know what the batting order or umpires are for each game. I feel bad for the IP who is doing all this work.. he seems to be doing it on a number of other season pages also.. maybe you should have a talk with him so he doesn't keep wasting his time. Spanneraol (talk) 17:15, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll send them a message and see where else they've done the same. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:24, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've sent them a message and explained why they should stop. Hopefully, they will be understanding.

I also checked their contributions and it seems made big edits to a few season pages going back to late September, including a few incomplete tables. Just making a list here for convenience:

Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:39, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What a random collection of teams and seasons. Spanneraol (talk) 17:41, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently they tried to do this to the 1996 Texas Rangers season page back in April but the IP was a banned user and the edits were subsequently reverted (here's the block history on the talk page). They were also warned in August as well. I suspect it may just be the same person doing the same thing again. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In that case I wouldn't feel as bad about deleting all this stuff. Spanneraol (talk) 17:51, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh jeez, this extends to other sports too and is actually WAY before September. At least as far back as April by the looks of it.

We may just have to take this to WP:Baseball because its way more than just these teams. (And to think I just randomly decided to check something up about the '63 Dodgers...) Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:54, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like there may be more than one IP address he is using also. Spanneraol (talk) 17:55, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we need to make plan of some sorts. I think an admin should be involved since there is a possibility a blocked user is behind this. Even if we do remove it, they may just keep doing it - they've been warned twice before after all. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:21, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Muboshgu: any thoughts? Spanneraol (talk) 18:36, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First thought is WP:NOTDIR. Second thought is I see a lot of MOS:BOLDLINKAVOID violations. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:47, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The person seems to have stopped for the time being. It seems they've also done college basketball teams, football teams, NBA teams. Varying no. of edits for each, mostly baseball teams, but it is all adding extra info. And they've actually been warned more than twice. Omnis Scientia (talk) 16:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He went back to working on the 63 Dodgers season.. I just deleted all of the stuff he has added... hope he gets the message. Spanneraol (talk) 21:30, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see. Thanks for removing the extraneous stuff. :) Omnis Scientia (talk) 04:28, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He keeps trying to put it back and wont engage.. sigh.. Spanneraol (talk) 18:47, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They won't stop at all, I'm guessing. After all, not the first time they have been warned and they've wreaked havoc on countless sports season pages for months. Should I report them for disruptive editing? Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, they arent gonna stop and I don't want to get into an edit war with them. If you do a report, mention that they seem to be using different IP addresses. Spanneraol (talk) 19:59, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've made one. Let's see what happens. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:10, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it got bumped... will probably have to report it to WP:ANI as these IPs are probably all sockpuppets of a banned user... not sure what the proper procedure is for doing that.. Spanneraol (talk) 02:23, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that's my fault! I'm not very familiar with reporting and how it all goes and I'd rather try solving it diplomatically. In this case though... Very persistant. Omnis Scientia (talk) 04:36, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personal bias

Hi,

Your reasoning for removing my recent edit is clear cut bias and constitutes WP:OWN.

thank you, Alex9234 (talk) 20:51, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It does not. Learn the policies. The section in Drellich's book is based entirely on rumors and speculation and should not be treated as fact in an encyclopedia. Spanneraol (talk) 21:40, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

”The section in Drellich's book is based entirely on rumors and speculation”

Your opinion, not fact.

“Learn the policies”

Your actions constitute WP:OWN. You do not have any right to dictate what an article may or may not say.

You’ve been reported for vandalism as you have removed another edit without a good explanation. Alex9234 (talk) 02:02, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not "my opinion".. he says his source is a Red Sox player that alleged something.. that's not evidence.. and certainly should not be stated as fact as you did. And the policy is that if you are challenged on content, you need to go to the talk page and get others to agree.. it's about forming consensus... that is the policy.. not just forcing what you want into an article and then claiming vandalism when it is removed. The current version of the article should remain until new consensus is formed. Has nothing to do with OWN and is certainly not vandalism. I left a good explanation.. You think this stuff belongs, go to the talk page and explain your reasoning. Also, deleting content from someone elses talk page is against the rules as well.

Thanks for fixing that - slipped my mind that I was editing it from an earlier version, and accidentally caught some things in the middle. Was trying to undo some issues created by another editor. The Kip ^(contribs) 00:17, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
