  • Dick Williams, the only Padres manager to have been elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame[4], is the franchise's all-time leader for the highest playoff winning percentage with .400. - move comma, it should be before the ref.
Fixed -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 02:52, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think there is an extra space before the table of contents.
Someone told me that you shouldn't have spaces between the TOCs. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 02:52, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

--SRX 02:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

That's what I meant, there is an extra space so it shouldn't be there.--SRX 21:18, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Then I already fixed it. Laugh out loud. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 01:25, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know it's offically called PETCO Park, but I don't know if WP:MOS will allow. I'll ask Matthewedwards about it. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 06:34, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so, but yeah, it is good to ask someone who is knowledgeable about the MOS. Maybe, you should ask User:Dabomb87, also. He seems to know about these MOS stuff, too.—Chris! ct 06:42, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I asked Matthewedwards, and he replied on my talk page, saying that PETCO, in PETCO Park can be capitalized, so I capitalized it. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 18:43, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Change the size of the two images next to the table to "upright" since they are affecting items in the "Achievement" column
The images are not affecting the table or the "Achievements" column. Look for yourself, it'll just make a bigger whitespace. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 06:34, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, "1996 NL Manager of the Year[6]" is forced into 2 rows, which affects the visual appeal of the list.—Chris! ct 06:42, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

—Chris! ct 06:15, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is because my resolution is bigger. If you turn your resolution to 1280 x 1024, you'll see what I mean. Should I upright the image, even though it looks perfectly fine on 1280 x 1024, but maybe not on others? -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 07:14, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would say do it.—Chris! ct 19:14, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DONE -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 20:44, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I will Support.—Chris! ct 23:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • If it means anything, I also agree that it should be PETCO Park.
  • "The team is currently owned by John Moores, and Kevin Towers is their general manager."
  • "regular season games managed " hyphenate "regular season".
  • "regular season game wins" same here.
  • "playoff game wins" hyhenate "playoff game"
  • "Bob Skinner is the Padres' all-time leader for the highest regular season winning percentage, as he has only managed one game, which he won." To provide more statistical perspective, you might mention which manager has the highest winning percentage and has managed at least 100 games.
  • "Bochy is also the only coach" Are coaches the same as managers?

  • "The team played their home games at Qualcomm Stadium, formerly known as the Jack Murphy Stadium, and before that San Diego Stadium, from 1969 to 2003 before moving to PETCO Park, where they have played since 2004.[1]" - really bad run-on sentence. Suggest "The team played their home games at Qualcomm Stadium (formerly known as San Diego Stadium and Jack Murphy Stadium) from 1969 to 2003. Starting with the 2004 season, they moved to PETCO Park, the Padres' current stadium."
  • "spent their entire managing careers with the Padres.[3] Black" - I would prefer a semicolon to a period here because the sentences are directly related.
  • I would like to a see a general reference added to Baseball-Reference's Padres franchise encyclopedia to offset the use of team-dependent sources as general refs, per WP:RS.

Hope this helps. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 17:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
