User talk:Yankees10 Regarding Bengie Molina Article Revision
Hello, thanks for your help with my revision to the Bengie Molina article. As he was awarded the Willie Mac Award, I am simply curious as to why the revision was made to delete the addition to a category, which I had created, where none currently exists and likely should? I am hoping you could help answer this, for my own curiosity, thanks.

All-Pro
Shouldn't we get some consensus for what All-Pro teams to list in the infoboxes and All-Pro pages. The recent articles (ex. 2015 All-Pro Team) have Pro Football Focus in the lead but the PFF team isn't actually listed. Someone removed them. I'm not sure what qualifies and what doesn't. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 01:03, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah definitely. There shouldn't be any inconsistencies with these.--Yankees10 09:31, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- How do we decide though? WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 14:11, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- This gets confusing on which to include or not just like the with the college football All-American teams. Personally if it was up to me i'd just stick with AP, PFWA and SN and not include PFF. PFF doesn't get the wide recognition yet as the others.--Yankees10 18:43, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- I had added PFF a few months ago, based on what Pro-Football-Reference lists, then some IP came around claiming there was consensus not to include PFF years ago, but I never found that consensus. But I did find that the NFLPA collective bargaining agreement in 2011 (see page 101) recognized the AP, PFWA/PFWA, Sporting News, and Sports Illustrated as "veteran media". This seems to be what the "consensus" decided, but I've never seen Sports Illustrated listed. Lizard (talk) 18:51, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- I think you meant to say PFW/PFWA. Yh, I don't see Pro Football Weekly included either. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:30, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- PFW and PFWA are basically the same. Pro Football Weekly is published by the PFWA I think. Lizard (talk) 19:47, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Cook
I thought the navboxes were only for regular season. This is a rare case indeed. What shall we do? WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:35, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- He should be there as he did start. We could add a # sign and say that it was a postseason start, however I'm not sure we should be taking up space in the template for that.--Yankees10 21:42, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- I didn't think we included postseason before. Joe Webb just has (2010), he's missing the playoff start in 2012. I guess in the case of Osweiler and Savage, it doesn't really matter which one says "present" though. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:45, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- I think Dissident normally deals with these. Lizard (talk) 21:47, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- For the Raiders starting quarterback navbox? We have Matt Cassel as a "starter" for the Bills in 2015, due to him taking the first snap of the season in a trick play. But on the other hand, the NFL does not officially include postseason starts as part of a player's career start total, so if we follow how they do it, Cook shouldn't belong. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 00:22, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

- It wouldn't be a big deal if we included postseason because cases like Webb and Cook are very few. Most people who start a playoff game started at least one regular season game that year too. And a lot of the QB lists on here have the postseason starters. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 22:15, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
Raiders starting quarterbacks template
Connor Cook IS NOT considered a starting quarterback yet because he did not start in the regular season. He did make a start in the postseason, but he is not considered a starting quarterback on the team. -MON5T3ER (RoyalsLife) — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoyalsLife (talk • contribs) 21:00, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
La O
I think his last name is just La O (you can move it back if u disagree) and Yander part of his first/middle name. Weirdest name ever! We'll know more when he gets a MLB.com page/see alpha order. 24.162.134.57 (talk) 05:27, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

I can't wait for the season to be over. I've never seen vandalism that heavy. This is what I imagine the edit history on Trump's page would be like if it was unprotected for 30 minutes. Lizard (talk) 02:55, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Lizard (talk) 05:14, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
- I'm home now, so I'm grabbing some of these. When I got this ping (and a couple others), I was on a bus home from Wikipedia Day NYC and on mobile only, so I couldn't do much. We need more admins, badly, but few editors on the "front lines" are running. We've done a better job recruiting niche editors or long-time content creators as admin candidates in the past month, but we're still struggling to get counter-vandalism editors to run for and pass RfA. ~ Rob13Talk 06:16, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
- My intentions were mainly to point out that we had 11 admins in WP:NFL, and to suggest that at least one of them be on standby next week for the conference championships. The vandalism was insane this week, it'll be worse next week. WP:RFPP has been criminally slow lately; protection coming three hours later isn't gonna cut it. We need an admin who could respond immediately when vandalism on a page goes haywire. Lizard (talk) 06:32, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

@Yankees10: Have you ever considered running? You have the tenure, the edits, the experience, a clean block log (for at least seven years), and, in my experience, the temperament. I haven't the time to do a full review, but I would encourage you to submit your name here to potentially get some feedback and throw your hat in the ring. Anyway, with regard to this specific issue, I am well aware of the amount of vandalism that can happen on articles when a subject does something noteworthy (or not, in this case). It's one of the reasons I hate the MLB Trade Deadline. But, it's the price we pay for being an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. I'd encourage following up on the proposals discussed at WP:RFPP about noting BLPs and the number of edits made recently. I can try to be available at least for some of next Sunday evening. Go Phightins! 15:14, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Pro Bowl
Does being a Pro Bowler even mean anything. Like 75% of the league gets invited lol. Just looking looking at the AFC QBs, 13 out of the 16 teams could have had their starter be a Pro Bowler. The following list is in order of passing yards.
- Philip Rivers (accepted invite)
- Joe Flacco (not sure he had an invite but why not, he had the 2nd most yards in the AFC, not like Siemian's numbers are way better)
- Andrew Luck (declined invite due to injury)
- Andy Dalton (accepted invite)
- Derek Carr (selected on ballot but injured and will not play)
- Blake Bortles (same as Flacco, not like Siemian's numbers are way better)
- Ben Roethlisberger (selected on ballot but injured and will not play)
- Tom Brady (selected but team is in Super Bowl)
- Alex Smith (accepted invite)
- Marcus Mariota (injured before Pro Bowl invites started, so he could not have been invited unless he was selected on the original ballot, his numbers are way better than Siemian's)
- Trevor Siemian (declined invite due to surgery)
- Tyrod Taylor (declined invite due to surgery)
- Ryan Tannehill (injured like Mariota, and not like his numbers are that much different from Taylor or Siemian, Tannehill's might be better since he played in fewer games)
- Ryan Fitzpatrick (no invite, 12 TD 17 INT)
- Brock Osweiler (no invite, 15 TD 16 INT)
- Browns QBs (no invite)
For the record, the NFC side isn't as bad. The five players currently listed on the 2017 Pro Bowl page are the only ones who were invited as far as I can tell. The AFC had too many declined invites and injuries. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 18:44, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- It's so bad. I haven't watched it in years. Where living in a world where two Pro Bowl quarterbacks threw 15 (Alex Smith) and 18 touchdowns (Dalton). Those numbers wouldn't even have gotten you in the Pro Bowl in the 1970's when they were throwing the ball only 25 times a game. In today's pass happy NFL those numbers are embarrassing...and they're in the damn Pro Bowl.--Yankees10 18:59, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Bridgewater last year was worse. 14 TDs, 9 INTs, lol. Also, Dalton's numbers were way better last year and he didn't make the team. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:03, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oh god, I forgot Bridgewater made it. Atrocious. And somehow Stafford's 2011 (5,038, 41 touchdowns) wasn't good enough.--Yankees10 19:08, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- As ironically an IP just falsely added that he did make it to his infobox.--Yankees10 19:10, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Weird lol. Also, the bad thing is people look at Pro Bowls and automatically think it's an accomplishment. It is for the players on the original ballot most of the time. But some of the replacement's don't deserve it. But when people look back at their careers, they say stuff like "Pro Bowl QB Teddy Bridgewater" and they might not realize he only made the team because 10 people declined invites or were injured. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:16, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

But here were the AFC running backs that season: Jamal Lewis who had over 2,000 yards, Priest Holmes who scored 27 rushing touchdowns, and Clinton Portis who had almost the same rushing yards as LT but played 3 less games.

"Advanced metrics"
Is this supposed to be football's sabermetrics? Most of this stuff is Greek to me and has no value to the average reader. That one guy's getting annoying. I always wonder what goes through an editor's mind when all their edits get reverted and they truck along continuing to make the same edits. Are they oblivious? Do they just not care? It's one of the great mysteries of the human race. Lizard (talk) 23:22, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
- I'm always amazed at that too. You think they'd get the hint. But no I guess.--Yankees10 23:38, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
i agree. advanced metrics are more sophisticated stats akin to sabermetrics. i'm personally interested in collaborating with User:Lizard the Wizard and User:Yankees10 to incorporate remarkable info into wikipedia's pro football player pages only when the information is noteworthy or newsworthy, particularly interesting to the average fan, and includes a trustworthy source reference. i see User:Lizard the Wizard and User:Yankees10 are doing an excellent job curating many of the pro football player pages. i love wikipedia and i love football stats. is there a specific protocol that i can follow to contribute to these pages while ensuring my work is not reverted by an established page curator?
i also noticed a reversion comment questioning playerprofiler as a source. i have yet to encounter an incorrect stat on one of the playerprofiler pages and believe it has become the authoritative source for many interesting stats and metrics such as catch radius, deep ball accuracy, yards after contact, etc. unlike much of sabermetrics, i believe many football metrics are straightforward concepts that are consumable and interesting to the average reader. for example, i believe many patriots fans would be interested to know that dion lewis leads the nfl in evaded tackles per touch over the last two seasons. also, for wikipedia users interested in learning more about football advanced metrics, i found this link, which lays out the origin and current source of numerous advanced stats: https://www.playerprofiler.com/terms-glossary/.-Mkelley78

We should do prop bets with vandalism tonight. Over/under 10 instances of a player being another player's "daddy." Over/under 3 different players being the "GOAT."

For this. I've been dealing with this since the name change, and before that I'd been reverting people saying Johnny Unitas' jersey is retired by the Baltimore Colts. I wish they'd take a second to actually think about how it makes no sense for the jersey of a team that no longer exists to be retired. Technically every Baltimore Colts jersey is retired.

Alex Reyes
I'm not understanding your objection to having a line mentioning and linking to the other players who have had Tommy John surgery. besides Alex Reyes. If the additional information is accurate, not contentious and contains a wiki link, why do you feel the arbitrary need to remove the line, in the quote below? Could you possibly explain the reasoning or rule that has you so upset that it can't be there for those who want to see the listing? There are those who wonder if he is unusual in having it as a rookie and only 22, so the link gives them direct access to the list. That's the reason why I included it, so I hope it will explain and refute your unusual objection in smearing it ("this is silly", "still no reason to have this") as you did in your comments, which I thought was out-of-line for such an innocent addition. I would appreciate it if you would reassess your arbitrary deletion and re-add it. Thanks. "He is among many other players who have had the surgical procedure." Oye289 (talk) 05:00, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
- If I may ask, what makes his removal of said link any more arbitrary than your addition of it? If it wasn't there to begin with, doesn't that make its absence the default, and thus its inclusion "arbitrary"? Lizard (talk) 05:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
- Your point is illogical for a reason for anyone to ever add anything to an existing article, by your definition of arbitrary. On the other hand, deletion of something added should be only for a solidly valid reason such as inaccuracy or invalid source. Oye289 (talk) 19:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
- It's oddly placed and really doesn't add much. Would work better in a "See also" section.--Yankees10 07:00, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
- I don't see it the way you do as "oddly placed" or somehow a wrongful addition of information. However, I am glad to see you suggest an alternate way (that you won't delete) that I did not see, which is just another way of adding that same information that you initially objected to. Oye289 (talk) 19:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
Teddy Bridgewater
I referenced Bridgewater's college QBR (a popular QB efficiency metric) and included a link to the QBR wiki page to provide additional context. I am investing significant time into contributing interesting information, and try to be self aware, but here I don't see where/how I err'd. I sincerely concerned about wasting time and energy while simultaneously creating work for you... Can you briefly explain why the contribution was reverted?Mkelley78 (talk) 15:13, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
- This stuff isn't notable that's why it's being removed. And that website is not a good source. All it is is a knockoff of Pro Football Focus and shouldn't be used.--Yankees10 17:42, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
I respectfully disagree with this opinion. For example, QBR is widely used by ESPN and is considered noteworthy to many mainstream sports media members and Wikipedia users. Additionally, PlayerProfiler, like Pro Football Focus, is widely considered a trusted data source by advanced stats aficionados. I believe discrediting it as knockoff is unfair as I have been using the site for years and have yet to find unverifiable/inaccurate data. Furthermore, Pro Football Focus does not make it's data publicly available, so it cannot be referenced, and is therefore not a true comparison. For this reason, I believe PlayerProfiler deserved more mention on Wikipedia, not less. What more can I do to help to ensure that my contributions that reference PlayerProfiler are not removed in the future? Mkelley78 (talk) 16:57, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

season → annual
I'm thinking of moving all the NFL's seasonal leader lists from "List of National Football League season xxxx leaders" to "List of National Football League annual xxxx leaders." Not only because it's consistent with how the NBA and MLB do it, but it's also awkward wording. You wouldn't say "he was the NFL's season rushing yards leader five times," but you might say "he was the NFL's annual rushing yards leader five times." Figured I'd consult with you since you created a few of the pages and templates for the NFL. And then we'd need to go fix the names in those template and stuff. Lizard (talk) 20:59, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me.--Yankees10 21:36, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Kinda torn on what to do with List of National Football League rushing champions. While they are considered "rushing champions" it might be better to name it "List of National Football League annual rushing yards leaders," for consistency and recognizability. Lizard (talk) 02:52, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah I'd stick with "annual" for those reasons.--Yankees10 03:04, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Joe Jiménez
I think Joe Jiménez needs to be moved to Joe Jiménez (pitcher) because there's another article of a golfer with the same name but without the accent in the E. Seriesphile (talk · ctb) 00:38, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Deleting external web links
I am the manager for NFL linebacker Dekoda Watson and I updated is Wikipedia page to have links to his Facebook and instagram profile. But those links were deleted and it appears you made the last edit to the page. I am looking on visibility into why this change was made? En tourage01 (talk) 19:24, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- Technically, according to a policy (that I can't think of the name of), social media links are not supposed to be used in articles. Though I have seen them added and removed by numerous different people, so i'm not 100% sure.--Yankees10 19:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

- Wow that's really weird. Lizard (talk) 17:31, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) I found a couple of pages listing them as co-winners for 2015: [4] [5] And they gave the award to each of them, per the ceremony videos at [6] and [7] (on the Andruzzi video, the host and Andruzzi both mention that there are two awardees). Why the website award page currently lists only one winner, I don't know.--Arxiloxos (talk) 18:35, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Recent Reversions
I had a great back and forth with User:Lizard_the_Wizard on my talk page regarding the general content restrictions enacted by NFL player page curators, and I have been following those guidelines above and beyond Wikipedia's general guidelines. To my dismay, I noticed a flurry of reversions rolling back many hours of notation work. I would appreciate it you could take a look at my talk page and respond with a general explanation for the reversions.Mkelley78 (talk) 20:34, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- None of the info you add is notable and the source is not reliable.--Yankees10 20:38, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
After significant due diligence on PlayerProfiler, I concluded it is reliable. Have you read objections to its citation? Have you encountered significant inaccuracies on the site? Regarding your second objection, the information reverted such as yards after the catch is both relatable to casual sports fans and noteworthy to more sophisticated sports information consumers.
The recent reversions conflict with wikipedia's stated reversion guidelines. These guidelines ensure that editors such as myself are not demoralized and driven off the platform by having their hard work deleted by others based on acute notion of relevancy or arbitrary notion of reliability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Revert_only_when_necessary
Communication is the key to avoiding conflict per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring. Please engage me on my talk page before making a reversion as I am always happy to talk about the content I'm providing to ensure that it resonates as much as possible with wikipedia readers.Mkelley78 (talk) 20:57, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
You do a great service culling false information, opinions lacking citation, and original research from this platform, and you recently reverted one of my contributions deeming it not something the average person would find interesting. Wikipedia's mission is not to create an average information source, and as cited above, the documented standards for reverting contributions are higher than one editor's opinion of the average reader's sophistication and preferences. I will continue to strive to enhance the information on football player performances available on this platform. Mkelley78 (talk) 14:14, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
I have reviewed your recent reversions and concluded my contributions were noteworthy, relevant, and consumable to a wide audience. Beyond this point, your general reasoning for the original reversion conflicts with Wikipedia's stated reversion guidelines. Mkelley78 (talk) 19:05, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Spanneraol (talk) 23:42, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Trevor Lawrence (American football)
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 Trevor Lawrence (American football) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 removed 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.

Orlando Cepeda
Yo, Yankees10, Orlando Cepeda was a seven-time All-Star, 1959-1964 and 1967. Please get informed with the following reference and leave my correction in place. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cepedor01.shtml Dave Peters (talk) 05:54, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

- I beg your pardon; you're quite right. After a little research, I see that the rosters were more or less identical for the "doubleheaders," so the entry in the third paragraph of the Cepeda Wiki claiming that "Cepeda was selected to play in seven Major League Baseball All-Star Games" is correct.

Someone changed his birth year to 1993, which is what NFL.com has but NFL.com used to say 1992 and that's what his article has said for years. If he was born in 1993, that means he graduated high school a year early. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 01:27, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
- Odd. ESPN and PFR are also saying 93. I guess 92 was a mistake that whole time?--Yankees10 01:35, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
- This article from Oct. 2011 says he is 18, except he should be 17 if he was born in Dec. 1993. Even though the coach might just be generally saying 18 year old since he's a freshman. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 01:57, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
- I just found this, which looks like it may have been written by Brissett, which says he was born in 1992. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 02:01, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

David Cone
The information regarding David Cones ex wife and alleged son is false. Brian is not David's son therefore it should not be on his page. Davids ex- wife Lynn has a son named Brian with a man named Jason Castriota. David only has one son named Samuel Cone with Taja Abitbol which should be reflected properly on his Wiki page.

The "source?" (I think primary sources--i.e. "I'm giving this information because I know this person"--are scorned upon on Wikipedia, because hearsay, no?) So... all the contemporary newspaper articles interviewing him about fatherhood c. 10 years ago are wrong? Was there a paternity test or something in the interim?

Rocco
The info you restored at Rocco Baldelli is misleading / inaccurate, which is why I updated it. He didn't play an official game in 2005. but was under contract with the (D)Rays and spent the season rehabbing, even played in some extended spring training games. Cutting that season out of the infobox entirely makes it look like he was out of baseball as a free agent, which was not the case. Also, he's been a coach of some sort in the Rays organization since his retirement, and the infobox should reflect that. And your edit summary made my point about his position - he played across the outfield. I'll go one further; Rocco made 28 total appearances in CF from 2006 to 2010 but 48 in RF or LF (and one at 3B with Boston, which must've been interesting). Listing him as an outfielder covers all the bases, as it were. Zeng8r (talk) 12:33, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Zeng8r: Per WP:Baseball consensus from a while back, seasons that a player did not appear in an MLB game do not appear in the infobox. Whether it be for injury, suspension, minors all season, whatever. It's the reason why Adam Wainwright's 2011 isn't there or A-Rods 2014. Adding 2010 for his coaching is misleading. We only add major league coaching jobs in the infobox and Baldelli has only done that since 2015. With regards to the position, we add the players primary position and center field was clearly his playing nearly 90% of his total games there. No reason for it not to say so in the infobox--Yankees10 17:16, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Why did you revert the updated photo of Jimmy Garoppolo?
I updated the photo for Jimmy Garoppolo and you reverted the photo. Why? His old photo was from the Patriots. He is now with the 49ers. The photo I updated was him with the 49ers - why do you want to show a photo of him with the Patriots?
- Because the picture of him with the Patriots is a much better picture.--Yankees10 00:46, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
I think his Patriots photo is very slightly better, but I do not believe it is significant enough to replace the photo. He is with the 49ers now and I think a photo of him in a 49ers uniform is what most people would expect to see on his Wiki page. I read in your user page and like you, I am neither a Patriots nor 49ers fan. So, my motivation to update this photo is not biased upon a fan perspective. Therefore, I respectfully disagree with your revert and request that you reconsider and reinstate my edit. --chipermc 01:25, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Kingryan227 (Decrees • Acts) 18:24, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.
Your reverting of my changes on the Corey Clement page is seemingly not in good faith. I am local to the area from which he grew up and that is indeed a local nickname that people call him.
- @Cfh294: The onus is on the editor adding the information to prove that it belongs in the article, and that there is a consensus for it. A random shmuck polling a few dozen people on Twitter proves nothing. And consensus is clearly against this addition as it's been reverted by three editors now.

Main characters of films should get redirect notices regardless of whether they have their own articles
Hi! Regarding this edit, it still makes sense for the character to get a redirect notice.
If the main character of a film doesn't get his/her own article, the character's name is supposed to redirect to that of the film. The redirect notice is therefore supposed to direct people interested in the character to the proper place (the article about the film). WhisperToMe (talk) 00:03, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Yankees10. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Zach Jemiola, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hey how are you. I’m new to wiki I was wondering if you could change the Cleveland browns president from Paul DePodesta to vacant. The browns do not have a president in office. Corruption0909 (talk) 06:27, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
Dwight Gooden and silver slugger
Sorry for the mistake, it's just that there is no mention of it in the lede or main body of his article. It's odd no one put in at least one sentence in the 1992 section, considering he's a pitcher, its an accomplishment worth mentioning. On the mlb page I only looked at his batting stats and not the awards, so I thought he didn't have enough plate appearances, so again, sorry for the mess up and thanks for undoing it.

Unassigned players
Hey, I was wondering if a player hasn't been assigned to a minor league affiliate by now that signed in the offseason should I list them as a free agent or what? Kingryan227 (Decrees • Acts) 19:24, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

- Thanks, but now UW won't stop. Look, it's important to have the leaders of categories recognized. It's a major accomplishment. Bleucheeses (talk) 05:04, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
I just read through the entire article after I removed the PROD. I now agree, too late, with your PROD. I'll take it to AFD. -- Dolotta (talk) 02:03, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Why?
Mitch Walding had played 658 minor league games at third base. And 2 at first base.
Milb.com describes him as a third baseman. They are the official site of minor league baseball. http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?player_id=605520#/career/R/hitting/2018/ALL
MLB.com describs him as a third baseman. They are the official site of minor league baseball. http://m.mlb.com/player/605520/mitch-walding?year=2018&stats=career-r-hitting-minors
Another editor already described him as they did -- as a third baseman.
Why did you change his article - which already described him as a third baseman - to call him instead an infielder? Why is your opinion here overriding that of mlb.com, milb.com, and the prior editor? Your edit summary doesnt say why. And whatever .. I think you should not override mlb.com, and should not override another editor without giving a reason that is a good one. --2604:2000:E010:1100:9848:50A0:48B3:889B (talk) 23:27, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Sorry. I figured if you were reverting, you had some strong reason I wasn't seeing. 2604:2000:E010:1100:9848:50A0:48B3:889B (talk) 23:44, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Vida Blue stats line deletion
Hello and good evening. Why did you delete Vida Blue's stats line? I added hits, runs and earned runs and changed .3 to.1 to represent 1/3 of an inning, and all seemed correct. I don't mind when something is deleted when the statistics are incorrect, but they were correct. You can go to Baseball Reference and Retrosheet to verify the additions, but I feel guilty because my additions caused someone elses work to be entirely deleted. They should be put back, just my opinion. Thank you and have a good evening.2601:581:8500:949C:29AD:44E0:620B:7E12 (talk) 00:31, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
