Orphaned non-free media (File:StateFarmCalendar2002andEagleCreekSilence.JPG)

Thanks for uploading File:StateFarmCalendar2002andEagleCreekSilence.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:57, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Link

Hey Bugs, How ya doin? Been a while - hope you and yours are doing well. I ran across something in my daily reading I thought you might enjoy. I'd have to imagine you're fully aware of it, but didn't know if you had seen this particular article.

At least Rose isn't all alone anymore I guess. Anyway .. have a good one. — Ched :  ?  00:25, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I saw. I suspect Hall of Fame weekend this summer will be pretty much of a dud. If the Hall is sufficiently hurt financially by the writers' non-action, maybe they'll demand a change in the rules. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:44, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Ref desk

So we're clear, I don't have any issue with you and your ref desk comments. I think you're generally very restrained and usually correct. But why are you picking such a fight on this trillion dollar coin issue? My initial point was that there's some interesting debate about this... and this conversation has spiraled into some weird tangent that has nothing to do with what the OP asked about (which is why I'm here, and not continuing this at RD). Yes if the "government" as some monolith creates a coin by fiat I suppose that's the case, but that was never the question, nor is it ever the reality. I'm bringing up a kinda interesting constitutional argument; I'm surprised you dug your heels in on this. Anyway, I don't have a problem with you bugs, I just am perturbed by that discussion that's all. Shadowjams (talk) 08:52, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

About Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Miscellaneous#Cricket

Hi again, Bugs. I thought you might like Twenty20. :-) --Shirt58 (talk) 10:20, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Interesting concept - a cricket match that might be shorter than a baseball game, especially a post-season game. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 05:40, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Thank you. :)

Although I must admit that I often tread a fine line between inspiration and desperation. :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:38, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Gratuitous snark

This doesn't really help 8-( Andy Dingley (talk) 12:14, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

A user who chooses a food as an ID ought not be griping when other users make fun of it. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 12:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps not, but a sentient, talking foodstuff who has already demonstrated a thin skin isn't productively provoked in the midst of an ANI discussion. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Ironically, cantaloupes are thick-skinned. The point of my comment there is that his gripe about someone calling him by his own username is irrelevant to the discussion and should be redacted. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 12:56, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Maybe he's not a real melon after all?, thus it's unhelpful to treat him as if he is. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:01, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

If he removes his pointless complaint, then I'll remove my response to it. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:05, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

You are being insensitive towards his melon-choly. Ankh.Morpork 13:32, 22 January 2013 (UTC) 2-shay!

Cardinals

Thanks for the information on the Pelicans. Even if it is not solid for the main text without a reference, maybe it deserves a mention on the talk page. I would hesitate to put it in the main text without a reference because it was stated quite directly and without qualification. It may merit a little research. Donner60 (talk) 03:07, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Interesting logo on the uniform. The right format and color. Good point about possibly being a farm team. I found a site with New Orleans baseball history but it did not seem to have any comments about the logo. Donner60 (talk) 03:16, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

I think you have solved the riddle. The Pelicans had that similar logo because they were a Cardinals farm team. Hardly a reason to say that the Cardinals stole the logo from the Pelicans. It certainly would seem there was co-operation and a common interest. More likely that one team copied the other with consent, probably the opposite of that stated by the IP poster. That makes be feel even more confident about my edit on the Cardinals page. Donner60 (talk) 03:19, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Michigan to LA

What do I need to clarify? it's clear. A bus travel from Michigan to Los Angeles. Period. Kotjap (talk) 21:59, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh, ok, Detroit. Kotjap (talk) 22:05, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

A beer for you!

Hope you get drunk and have a merry afterlife! Sneazy (talk) 04:14, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't drink, but thanks for the thought. :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 06:39, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

RD answer removed

Bugs, I have removed your reply from Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities#Horst_Wessel as it made no attempt to answer the question asked. At minimum, please don't derail threads until after useful information has been offered. — Lomn 14:35, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
