February 2016

My apologies for accidentally undoing the version by the unlogged IP address stating you "Like scrotums". I accidentally clicked the wrong one. It got reverted before I could undo it.ChristopherH1995 (talk) 21:48, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

No biggie. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 21:49, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Yup, I reverted that, but when I looked at your history it was obvious you made a mistake (rather than that you were a sock). It happens. Meters (talk) 21:56, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. Was the account blocked? I haven't noticed anything on Jose Bautista or on here. ChristopherH1995 (talk) 21:59, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Blocked for 31 hours according to his contribs page. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 22:01, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

I put the IP on WP:AIV as having vandalized after a final warning and he was blocked 2 minutes later. Meters (talk) 22:05, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank You for removing the vandalism on my UserTalk page

Thank you for undoing the vandalism on my user talk page. My e-mail kept getting lit up by notifications of messages on my Wikipedia talk page. I'm at work on break and can't really go through them all right now, but what was going on? ChristopherH1995 (talk) 20:47, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Unless I'm mistaken, it appears as if it originated from the same IP address. ChristopherH1995 (talk) 20:55, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

IP 204.225.8.2 kept vandalizing our talk pages. We all had a run-in last week, and he ended up blocked for a day for vandalism. Blocked for a month now. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 21:01, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Scarborough high school sock

Thanks for watching for this guy. He got a 3 month block this time so we'll have to watch for a new IP/account this time. I'll SPI him the next time I see him, or maybe even start one now just so we have one ready. I think what's gong on is that there are a couple of local schools up for review for possible closure, and West Hill is losing out. I'm keeping track of this at User:Meters/Scarborough school cluster since it's too messy to dump it all into an SPI. Feel free to add anything I missed. Meters (talk) 05:29, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning up after this one yet again. 6 month block this time. Meters (talk) 05:10, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

CC License Blue Jays photos on Flickr

[1] First off, apologies for the poor form on putting up a link. This is a link to my Flickr page that contains some of the photos I took at the Blue Jays vs. Mets spring training game I took 3/23/16. All of them have a Creative Commons license. If you wanted, I thought you could pick and choose whichever ones you think would work best. Take care and Go Jays! Terry Foote (talk) 01:05, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Terry, no worries on the link. I really appreciate your photos, and I would like to put some of them to use here, but unfortunately the Creative Commons licence you uploaded the photos with can't be used on Wikipedia (to my understanding). When uploading a Flickr photo through Wikimedia Commons, the only additional CC licences we can use are Attribution ShareAlike 2.0 and Attribution 2.0, on top of Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0/3.0/2.5, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0/3.0/2.5, and Creative Commons CC0 Waiver. The licence you selected, Attribution NonCommercial 2.0, can't be used (I think) because of its' non-commercial restriction. I personally don't think Wikipedia intends to profit off of your photos, but for whatever reason, we can't use them (I think). I say "I think" because I really don't know 100% that we can't use them. Uploading photos is still relatively new to me, I've only uploaded a handful of them since 2014. If there is a way to change the licence used, I'd be very happy to make use of them (especially at Michael Saunders, Chris Colabello, and elsewhere). Go Jays! Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 21:26, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I changed all the licenses to Attribution ShareAlike, so feel free to use whichever ones you like. I just may get around to uploading Saunders and Colabello sometime soon. I know WP already has a good image of Aaron Sanchez, but I got some good ones of him at the game. Speaking of him, he threw consistiently 97-98mph with perfect location - if he pitches this way consistently, the Jays should have a Cy Young potential pitcher in him. All best, Terry Foote (talk) 20:14, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

West Hill Collegiate Institute

Hi there. You seem to be a regular reverter of the vandalism at West Hill Collegiate Institute. Could you take a moment to look at the talk page discussion? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:54, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Pillar's amazing catch

Just in case you missed this [2], you have to see it; Pillar made one of the most balls-out catches I've ever seen in 40 plus years of baseball fandom. 160 more games until the post-season :) All best, Terry Foote (talk) 15:31, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

MLB The Show 16

Hello, my name is LJ Kurek. I am currently editing the MLB The Show 16 wiki page. I noticed that you also edited it before. Do you think we should add the soundtrack to the game or any other information?

If it's notable and you can include a reliable source, go for it. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 18:57, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

A request

When entering a players data like you did for Casey Janssen. Please check to make sure that the player is retired. You didn't do that and he is retired. Going forward please do this. Aggiefan47 ^(talk) 22:29, 06 June 2016 (UTC)

Retired according to whom? You did not provide a source. Going forward please do this. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 04:05, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Uncharted 4: The Sunken Blade listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Uncharted 4: The Sunken Blade. Since you had some involvement with the Uncharted 4: The Sunken Blade redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Hey there friend!

So it seems this here link from my original welcome message is STILL directing random people, ones that you reverted, to ME! Hahah! It's okay I find it quite humourous and entertaining often. This time, I just received an email from a yet another guy that you reverted a about a week ago ([3]). It's apparent that they're coming to your talk page, seeing your top 'welcome message' that I sent you originally back in March 2009, and without knowing any better, following the link "Please leave a message on my talk page", which undoubtedly misleads them to my talk page! Haha! This last guy actually ended up sending me an irrelevant email. Anyway, I took out the link to my talk page to avoid this in the future. Thanks man! -- œ^™ 12:12, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Wow, what's that, like the fourth or fifth time that's happened now?. It's kind of odd - I'd say 99% of the time new/anon editors can't be bothered to read anything, but once they get to my talk page they are all over that welcome message! That user also appears to have left a message on their talk page, so I'll answer them there. Thanks for removing the link to your talk page - I completely missed it when I removed the signature links in February. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 14:52, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

I did not get the warning

I did not mean to disrupt Wikipedia, I just thought because he was traded, he would be part of the team. Please don't ban my privileges to edit, and I will stop interrupting on Dioner Navarro.

Commas for managerial records.

I suggest that the templates that are used in managerial records should be fixed to include commas. If you take a look here, it currently doesn't show commas. Another point I want to make is that MOS:DIGITS states that it can only be used when it is consistently applied in each article. Since the template doesn't currently allow for a consistent use of commas, the comma can't be applied right now. However, if you feel that it should be used, maybe the starting point here is to get the template to use commas so it can be consistently applied. 70.26.86.97 (talk) 20:58, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

The most important part of MOS:DIGITS as it relates to commas used for four digit numbers is "provided that this (the use of commas) is consistent within each article". Gibbons' article only has one other four digit number (that isn't a year) and it uses a comma (as 99% of MLB infobox statistics do). The template you refer to isn't a template, its a wikitable, and wikitables are not exclusively for use as an MLB managerial record table, so no such fix or "forced comma" can be implemented. Whether or not a comma is used in Bobby Cox's table is irrelevant to the Gibbons article. Please stop removing the comma. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 21:15, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

That statement on four digits refers to "each article" meaning each managers' article. That means Gibbons article has to be consistent with Bobby Cox, Joe Girardi, etc. 70.26.86.97 (talk) 21:26, 25 September 2016 (UTC)7

It does not mean each article in the sense of each manager article, it means consistent use or omission throughout each individual article across Wikipedia. MOS:DIGITS does not state unequivocally to either use commas or omit them, rather it allows editors to choose to either use them or omit them, as long as what is chosen is used consistently throughout the article. So if Bobby Cox's article does not use a comma in any of the four digit numbers, don't use one in the table and vice-versa. Each article needs consistent use or omission throughout, and not sporadic use (for example, "Bobby Cox managed 4,505 games with a record of 2504–2,001." would be incorrect. Either use the comma consistently throughout or omit it consistently throughout). As the comma was already present in Gibbons' games managed infobox field, a comma should be used in any other four-digit number on the page. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 22:34, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

I think if the templates starts using the comma, then the problem is solved. 70.26.86.97 (talk) 22:45, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
