Intro Music?

Could someone add information on the music Brian enters the game to (if he is accompanied by music)? In fact, that seems like something that should be standard on all closer's pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.255.115 (talk) 18:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I realize this is an old comment, but the intro music of closers, or any pitcher, is highly irrelevant. --Muboshgu (talk) 02:49, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know, it's Jump Around by House of Pain. http://mlb.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/walkup.jsp 99.37.224.239 (talk) 02:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is the arm movements Wilson does after closing a win?

On Jay Leno, he said it is an acknowledgement to both his God and his father, who died when he was a teenager, I believe. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 20:20, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace confusion

Under the main header, Wilson's birthplace is listed as "Londonderry, NH" (supported by yahoo sports) whereas the info bar on the right of the column cites "Winchester, MA" (as supported by mlb.com). Regards. Mercjfr (talk) 14:35, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The first sentence of the Early Life section seems kind of weird now (perhaps a sloppy correction of the error pointed out by Mercjfr). It currently (July 12, 2011) reads "Wilson, though born in Londonderry, New Hampshire, was raised in Londonderry, New Hampshire." While this may, in fact, be very true, the phrasing is odd, and I wasn't sure if there was a reason behind it. Is it considered unusual to be raised in the same place in which one is born?

"The Machine"

It seems like a lot of space is devoted to "The Machine" in this article. Not sure if this is really warranted. But ok. However, the reference that The Machine is a character in the "S&M" and "Snuff" film 8mm is a) incorrect and b) defamatory. 8mm is a major Hollywood movie starring Nicolas Cage, not an S&M and certainly not a "snuff" film. It deals with its subject matter in a serious and thoughtful manner; it is not an exploitation film. The plot of 8mm does deal with characters who themselves are engaged in the demi-monde of nuff films, and there is a character known as "Machine". But the article as written suggests that Wilson is referencing the actual world of snuff films, and finding them funny. And that is defamatory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.231.240.151 (talk) 04:19, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. It's a movie about S&M, not an S&M movie itself. Seems more defamatory to the film instead of to Wilson, but it does imply that he watches that sort of film. Anyway, easy enough to fix—I'll do it. Fnordware (talk) 22:17, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality - POV

JuTMSY4, you flagged the article for neutrality on June 13. Care to elaborate? Fnordware (talk) 17:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since you haven't responded, I'm going to take the flag off. Please discuss if you still think there are NPOV issues. Fnordware (talk) 15:47, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

The entire scouting report section needs to be fixed because someone vandalized it sometime in the past. It is nothing really major, but many of the particulars have been changed that were added by the original writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ntjp99 (talk • contribs) 21:57, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
