Michael Busch
I feel that the page Michael Busch should not have been moved to the minor league players list. It has plenty to good sources and more to come now that he is signed. This article has already passed inspection once and fits the criteria needed to be an independent page. If there is something needing to be added I would be happy to do it just please let me know. Thanks, UNC2 (talk) 14:49, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
If you would please discuss this with me I would appreciate it.UNC2 (talk) 00:45, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
- Busch is not notable enough on his own to have his own page. Standard practice is for players in the minors to be merged unless they have significant coverage, his is mostly standard press that most prospects receive. Spanneraol (talk) 01:05, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
Moving players from the minor league players articles Response
Yeah they are. These players are top prospects and I make sure to provide the references to prove notability requirements.--MLBscoutDan (talk) 22:55, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
I don't edit much so I am still trying to learn about categories to add and how to edit properly.--MLBscoutDan (talk) 22:56, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- Top prospects dont automatically get their own articles. It needs more content and sourcing than what some of these guys have. Spanneraol (talk) 22:57, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
I've been told in the past that top prospects don't get automatic articles. So I Know this. I've also been told by other people how much sourcing should be added. I will go based off what they have said.--MLBscoutDan (talk) 23:00, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Maybe you would like to chime in. It's whether minor league baseball categories or Notre Dame Fighting Irish Baseball players should be categorized 'Baseball players from Indiana' or whatever state the minor league players played in. A created category of yours, Salem Red Sox players, was recently changed. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 20:34, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Rojos del Águila de Veracruz team name in English
You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Rojos del Águila de Veracruz#Team name. I believe that you have been involved in translation edits on the Rojos del Águila de Veracruz article. Previously, this article has lacked a consensus by edit on the English translation of the team name & has gone back & forth. There is now a discussion on the talk page for which I ask you to to concur or object. The current iteration seems reasonable to me. Please do not change the English translation of the name from this version until we have reached a consensus through discussion. Peaceray (talk) 23:03, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

possessives take apostrophes
Greets, Spanner. You got me wondering after you removed the apostrophe I'd put into the world series entry: "Locally, each team's flagship radio station...."
You've suggested that the apostrophe isn't needed, but English punctuation is pretty clear that "team's" is correct: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_possessive#Nouns_and_noun_phrases>.
Why do you think the plural "teams" should follow the word "Each"?

Timber Wolf Page
Why did you remove my edit to the Timber Wolf page? albabe - The Writer/Artist Formally Known as Al Gordon 17:52, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
- It was vandalism.. you removed the info box, the categories, the references, the lead paragraph and much of the content of the article without explanation. Spanneraol (talk) 17:55, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Dave Stewart
Spanneraol,
Is that info about the transvestite prostitute really relevant and appropriate? It seems more like something for the salacious gossip sites and tv shows rather than for Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.115.203 (talk) 18:26, 28 February 2018 (UTC) I guess it is a bit jarring to have the entirety of his "personal life" be that he is married with kids and got caught with a prostitute (transvestite!) one night. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.14.77.143 (talk) 20:20, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
I would check with Wiki TOS regarding discrimination and inflammatory statements (attacking gender minorities). Including the fact that he was arrested for solicitation is questionable, but the mention of the prostitute’s gender only serves as aspersion, as innuendo regarding Stewart’s sexuality. I don't see any other reason inclusion of the prostitute's gender would be relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by New york art editor (talk • contribs) 17:40, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- It was a noteworthy incident that received media coverage so should be included as any other arrest would be. As to nothing else being listed in his personal life section, that certainly can be remedied by adding more stuff to that section. Spanneraol (talk) 19:39, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
89th Academy Awards Performers
All performers who are officially part of the ceremony are to be listed under the Perfomers table, regardless of the intent of the performance. Just because Jimmy Kimmel was host doesn't mean that hosts don't also do performances during Oscar ceremonies. Billy Crystal always performed the opening number every time he hosted, and those performances always got Crystal listed in the Performers table in the articles about his Oscar ceremonies. Even Seth MacFarlane is listed as a performer in the article about the 85th Academy Awards, for the songs that he sang when he hosted, despite the fact that those performances were done just for laughs. Greggens (talk) 23:55, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thats not proper because they arent real performances.. Especially this one... It was a one off gag not a whole performance... listing it separately by itself is just idiotic and defies the purpose of that section. It's separate than MacFarlane who performed a whole song and dance number. Spanneraol (talk) 03:18, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

What makes a box office bomb and was The Wizard of Oz one?
Box office bomb defines poor performance during its theatrical run. Whether it becomes successful later isn’t part of that definition. To put it in another way, what defines a box office bomb is low performance and unprofitable during it’s theatrical run. Smaller or independent films don’t expect to be big box office hits, so making any profit would be a good they - and they won’t be considered a bomb. High expectations are usually at the heart of being considered a bomb. It used to be you could almost tell when a film wasn’t expected to do well, when advertising was high. As for The Wizard of Oz, it didn't turn a profit until a re-release in 1949. The shooting and promotional budget at the time was MGM’s highest ever, nearly 3 million dollars, a pittance when compared to today’s costs. But remember in 1939, the average ticket price was less than .25¢. Ten years later it was less than .40¢. Today’s movie ticket costs 20X what it did in 1939, and the cost of making making them, even greater. In 1939, the only other diversion to going to the movies, was reading or listening to the radio. Only New York had live performances (theater, bars and night clubs, sports) as other form of competitive entertainment dollars. We were still in the midst of emerging from the decade old Depression. So that I think it’s fairly clear that it initially bombed, so that’s a reasonable definition. It was ahead of its time, and it didn’t actually make money until a decade after its release.
- Is a film not considered a huge flop if it doesn't make money during its domestic theatrical release? Well sort of. Probably one of the greatest exceptions to this question is Disney's Fantasia. It was a financial disaster (generally speaking, It WAS considered a huge flop since it didn’t make money during its domestic release.) when released. It did not recover its production costs even though critically acclaimed. Yet over time it became, as of 2012, the 22nd highest grossing film. BornonJune8 (talk) 11:52, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
- Just failing to make money does not make one a "bomb".. it would have to lose a LOT of money for that to be the case.. and your lists were ridiculous.. you included small films and movies that were fairly successful. And no DOMESTIC theatrical is not the thing anymore.. worldwide box office is far more important. Spanneraol (talk) 02:20, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
- Is a movie's worldwide gross important now, to some degree yes (especially in China), but it varies from film to film. However, the movie quality and popularity is a lot connected now with success in US/Canada box office. Hollywood studios can’t afford to bring so much as a dollar of foreign box office back to the United States thanks to tax laws. For studios, successful tentpoles are the movies that cover production expenses in “domestic” box office. Studios invest enormous money into the “tentpoles” - inflated-budget productions, that are expected to pull the enormous cash at the box office. If they are able to recover the production and marketing cost (which can go from $150 to $300 million) from the domestic gross alone, it ensures huge profits and happy investors, who would likely finance further projects. This is usually preferred to the “overseas” returns, as they are largely unpredictable, often delayed and generally carry a smaller gross percentage reaching the final destination. BornonJune8 (talk) 11:43, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
- That's simply not true anymore. Many movies have done really well overseas and not so much domestically and earned sequels as a result. I know the business, don't presume to lecture me. Spanneraol (talk) 01:20, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- How exactly is it not true anymore!? Give me some clear-cut examples of movies that have done really well overseas but not so much domestically and have therefore, earned sequels as a result! BornonJune8 (talk) 04:26, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- I don't have time to really research it right now, but one example off the top of my head is Pacific Rim which did so-so business domestically but was a huge hit overseas and wound up with a sequel. Spanneraol (talk) 12:55, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

If you don't mind my asking, why were the edits to 2018 National League West tie-breaker game reverted without comment? Surely MLB's branding for the game, reflecting its importance as such that they thought it needed a logo, is more illuminating than a four year old, unrelated picture of the stadium in which it took place? The stadium itself is linked a couple lines down in the Infobox. Thanks! SixFourThree (talk) 19:41, 2 October 2018 (UTC)SixFourThree

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tony Hernandez (disambiguation)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Tony Hernandez (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Adam9007 (talk) 19:00, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Titans edit
I wanted to ask, off-articlespace, where you obtained your edit summary sourcing. I am having a few issues with presenting a plot summary for an episode which has not been broadcast yet. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 17:32, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- That episode has been broadcast. It is available right now on the DC Universe app. Spanneraol (talk) 17:48, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, but how does the average editor verify that your episode summary is accurate? The reason why plot summaries don't have to be cited is that they are molded by editorial view of the primary source. If that source is only available to a select few, it becomes more difficult for collaborative editing to take place, right? Why are we in a hurry? If the content is notable enough for inclusion, will it not be notable after general airdate? - Jack Sebastian (talk) 17:52, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- Is there some other airdate you are referring to? The show is DC Universe exclusive so this is the airdate. Spanneraol (talk) 17:54, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- Since you have verified that the source of your summary is from viewing the primary source, I don't need to ask anything further. Thanks. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 18:06, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2019 National League Division Series, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Adam Eaton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:26, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Titans (2018 TV series)
Your recent bold edit has been reverted. Per the bold, revert, discuss cycle, after a bold edit is reverted, the status quo should remain while a discussion is started instead of edit-warring, and it should be resolved before reinstating the edit, after a needed consensus is formed to keep it. -- /Alex/21 14:22, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

December 2019
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Crisis on Infinite Earths (Arrowverse), please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. -- /Alex/21 01:18, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- I know how to use the preview button, thanks.. which edits are you concerned with? Spanneraol (talk) 01:22, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- The 15 edits in a row yesterday (22 if you include the others interspersed by only two editors), and the 12 today (again, interspersed). -- /Alex/21 01:24, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Kept finding new things to fix and didn't want to get to get messed up by someone else doing an edit in the meantime causing a conflict. Spanneraol (talk) 01:37, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hence my above post. Constant edits cause more conflicts on the other editor's end as well. -- /Alex/21 01:39, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- No.. if you take awhile to make an edit then someone else can post in the meantime and you lose all the work you have done. Spanneraol (talk) 01:44, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Exactly what I'm talking about. If someone makes an article-wide edit, then someone else (above post) who makes a massive number of quick-fire edits makes the first editor lose all the work they have done. -- /Alex/21 01:46, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
