== Please stop taking down my edits. ==

My table on the curt flood article in the newly added statistics section is perfectly fine and correct. If you would like to edit it that would be fine, but taking it down is not necessary.If it is done again, than i will have to report you for malicious editing.

DYK for Carlos Correa (baseball)

Thank you from the DYK team at English Wikipedia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:12, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reggie Jackson

Hi there, I see you reverted my edits without any summary/explanation. After viewing Template:Infobox MLB player, I don't see any issue with adding Jackson's career SOs. He is, after all, no. 1 on career SOs and believe his rate is worthy of being a listed stat in his info box. If there's something else more solid let me know, otherwise if you simply disagree, should probably be hashed out on the article's talk page unless you don't have a strong opinion then we can just include it. Zepppep (talk) 03:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So we appear to have a difference of opinion as what would be considered an "important" stat for a player who did hit a lot of balls, but also whiffed a greater number of times than any player in history, and climbed that list roughly 25 years before the majority of players in the Top 10 (who would be considered contemporaries) when it wasn't considered "en vogue" to whiff whilst trying to hit a dinger. Shall we put it for a vote on the talk page? Zepppep (talk) 03:54, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

I found this on your talk page and was wondering if I could remove it. It seems like it's vandalism. 71.146.10.213 (talk) 03:28, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Gilliam

I made an edit to Jim Gilliam's infobox. Please don't revert it back just to placate your ego. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.54.246.53 (talk) 14:44, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Piss off.--Yankees10 18:11, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You proved my point with Schoolboy Rowe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.54.246.53 (talk) 01:14, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aonie

Hi Yankees10, I was wondering why you deleted my table for the Jim Abbott article. My table showed his career pitching stats, which is a very popular add-on to professional athlete's pages, and I spent time putting in this information on his page and you just deleted it for no reason. I just want to ask you why you took off information that benefited to the article and also the time I put into putting that up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aonie (talkcontribs) 22:09, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant?

What was redundant about it? Is it not a career highlight? Zepppep (talk) 06:47, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The 2,500 strikeouts is already in the career stats section. 2,500 K's isn't even a club anyway.--Yankees10 06:52, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's not an article but 2k is. There is no link for the article in the stats section as is. Zepppep (talk) 00:21, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jon Matlack

I was wondering why you deleted stuff I posted in Jon Matlack's career "Awards and highlights" in his bio box? I posted stuff cited by baseball-reference.com. All of it was true, and he was the league leader in those statistics. Those statistics are considered to be of some importance. (talk)

Nomination of Jurickson Profar for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jurickson Profar is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jurickson Profar (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Student7 (talk) 17:22, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

You certainly seem to have your opinions about what should and should not be in infoboxes. I dare ask how come you are not participating in the discussion.?--71.54.246.53 (talk) 23:07, 8 August 2012 (UTC) --J.S.[reply]

Ruppert Jones

I'm rewriting this whole article. If you want to add one of your pointless little edits to placate your ego, I suggest waiting until I'm done.--71.54.241.128 (talk) 09:40, 22 August 2012 (UTC) --J.S.[reply]

It's great that you create these articles so quickly, most of the time before I've heard the transaction, but please be a little more careful with your work. You left the name "Brooks Lee Raley" in the lead. Also, it would be helpful if you could remember to create the article talk pages. I just created the talk page for Cody Allen a month after you created the main article. Thanks. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:52, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just thought you'd want to know that you beat me to creating this article by about an hour. :) Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 22:40, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GAR assessment

Roberto Clemente, an article that you may be interested in, has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the good article reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article. Zepppep (talk) 23:15, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I deprodded this because he's received a lot of coverage over several years, and there's enough editing history to make me think that straight deletion would not be uncontroversial and thus not appropriate under WP:PROD. For my own part, however, given the current state of things I'd probably be OK with a redirect to Barry Sanders#Personal life, where the relevant facts are already stated. That way it could get un-redirected later if appropriate. Best, --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stem17

Excuse me Yankees10 im just wondering why you keep deleting my additions to Robin Yount's page, i just think people should know that he is the Milwaukee Brewers all time leader in hits and home runs, because its possible that Ryan Braun will beat both of them. So until then i think thatt people should know that Yount is the leader in those categories.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Stem17 (talkcontribs) 21:25, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But lets be honest Yankees10 that not many people really want to stay and read the article, they just want to read the sandbox to see stats, playing history, and awards. So could i please just leave my contributions in the Sandbox? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stem17 (talkcontribs) 21:35, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

August 2012

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Robin Yount. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Mr. Vernon (talk) 21:42, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Corey Madden, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Southern League (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Linkable years in info box

I don't see any opposition at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball#Consecutive years in bio infobox; in fact, no comments at all for 2 weeks. If you feel consensus has changed, I would encourage you to open a new thread on the project page. I have edited the article so that each ASG is linkable in the "Highlights" subsection, per consensus. I can change it so the two bookend years in the info box aren't linkable. As far as listing and linking each ASG the player has, however, I don't see support for it. Zepppep (talk) 00:54, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Again there is no consensus there. A few people agreeing isn't consensus but whatever, too many silly little changes being made to the infobox nowadays anyway.--Yankees10 01:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"No consensus" based on...? At the project page I see: "If it's in the prose, it's fine by me;" "Makes sense to me, but you might want to wait for consensus in Baseball proj" [posted on 16 Aug, as mentioned, no additional comments since then; not a single objection throughout the entire thread); "Yeah makes sense for me as well;" "How do we feel about cutting those things out?" [which was answered, and a question is merely that, not opposition). "A few people agreeing isn't consensus" is based on...? Consensus can be presumed to exist until voiced disagreement becomes evident per Wikipedia:Silence and consensus. If an editor doesn't chime in, their silence is their agreement. Albeit the weakest form of consensus, like I mentioned, there were multiple editors who chimed in with support—zero with opposition. I agree with you there is a lot of discussion about info boxes but it's high time for some firmness regarding the info boxes, so editors have something to point to in the instance of disagreement.

GA Thanks

On behalf of WP:CHICAGO, I would like to thank you for your editorial efforts that has contributed to the recent WP:GA promotion of Phil Nevin

--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:14, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article Maximiliano Hernández has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not a notable person

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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 article 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.

Consensus

I didn't come by to accuse you. Instead, I came by to encourage you that if consensus is being quoted/noted by an editor, the best course for action would be to seek out the claim or to ask around. This would be more desirable than a revert. That was the purpose of my stopping by. If an editor with as good of a standing as you or I is throwing "consensus" around, my first assumption would be to believe it, not doubt it. IMO, WP works best when editors are working in concert, not conflict. Zepppep (talk) 16:14, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am new to editing so please forgive anything you took as attempted vandalism. It is common knowledge that Keiser was involved in this elicit sexual affair with his teacher, however because he was a minor at the time and DIDN'T PRESS CHARGES AND was UNWILLING TO TESTIFY to avoid retraction of his scholarship to Stanford, the media couldn't publish his name. I don't know how we can best accomplish this, but i need your help in putting this information on the wikipedia page because it is a significant event and the page wouldn't properly portray his past if the information was not listed. Please contribute any helpful comments or suggestions in how to best, and under wikipedia guidelines, contribute this information to the article.

His current lede directly reads played on four World Championship teams. The Blue Jays section also currently says He won a fourth in 1993, as the Blue Jays repeated as World Champions with a victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. Morris did not pitch in the postseason, however.

What do you think should be adjusted, the infobox, or the lede/Blue Jays sections? - Penwhale | dance in the air and follow his steps 14:29, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think this should have an accent? I checked before doing the requested move: all three of the article's references, and all the first page of Google hits have him as "Marte" with no accent. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:16, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should follow WP:COMMONNAME: "Wikipedia... prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources.

Hi Yankees10, I added my voice to RM for these 4 players. Not because of JohnCD's reason (he appears to have misread WP:COMMONNAME, but it is badly written) but because of Spanish sources.

Section Heading

Hi Yankees. Hope all has been well. Minor point, but you deleted from a header at Gabe Carimi " All-American and Outland Trophy" w/the edit summary of "don't need it." That's correct. We don't. But on the articles I've brought to GA, I've been told that additions of that sort are felt to improve the article. It's succinct and informative, and consistent with that direction, so my view is its better to restore it. It certainly doesn't seem to be causing such a degree of harm that one need feel impelled to delete it, IMHO, even if one weren't to share the reviewers' view as to such heading amplification.--Epeefleche (talk) 01:16, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:MiamiDoilphins3

Greetings, Yankees. I saw that you reverted several of User:MiamiDolphins3's edits to the infoboxes for NFL players. I left a message for MiamiDolphins3 on his talk page, explaining that it is the consensus of WP:NFL and standard formatting to link to the player's college football team, not the player's university, in the infobox. Hopefully, that will put a stop to that. I would be grateful if you would follow up and revert the similar changes he made to several other NFL player articles: [1]. Thanks.

When you're right, you're right . . . .

Y10, just saw your comment regarding Suh and the deletion of fancruft about the names of other high school players who were Rivals-rated ahead of him at his position. Complete trivia/cruft. I routinely delete similar cruft anywhere I find it. Anytime you need gentle backing on a similar issue, ping me. I'm there.

BTW, I hope you were satisfied with the outcome of the WP Baseball talk page discussion regarding the order of infobox honors. I thought we had resolved all of those issues last year, but I guess the order of the honors and awards was left open then. I was hoping never to see another talk page argument on that point. Hopefully, those issues have now been resolved for both MLB and the NFL infoboxes. Although, to my recollection, no one has ever raised the issue of the order for NFL infobox honors, I think it's pretty clear from the examples on the template page.

Brian Orakpo

Hello. I'd like to ask why you decided to remove the mention of the Geico commercials calling Brian Orakpo an "All-Pro linebacker" despite him never being named to an All-Pro team. Pro Bowls are not the same as All-Pro, and an inaccurate commercial is certainly relevant now that the door of having an Endorsements section has been opened. Thanks.

Me & my shadow

Regardless of whether or not there is a consensus to say that World Series Championships come before All-Star nods in an infobox, there is no consensus for the reversed, either. I'm doing a real edit; I'm not just surfing wikipedia looking for infoboxes I can put in the order I like.

...and you say you DON'T shadow me? --J.S.

Rather than continuously deleting this comment, I'd like it if you answered the question. This is the sort of thing you do to me frequently, and has always gotten on my nerves about you. Frankie Crosetti, Rupert Jones, George Foster. I can give more examples if I thought about it. I really wish you would stop. --J.S.

When the source states, "According to league source", or "very likely to sign" well it is still a rumor and far from anything from team confirmed, I agree MLB and NFL free agency standards are different, but just wait from a team source, not the rumor mills, I already seen a number of false positives so far that is being reported in the media.

Wily Peralta lead

Hi Yankees10 - I saw that you edited the lead for Wily Peralta and thought I would ask you about it. I felt like the assertions removed from the lead (one of the fastest fastballs among MLB starters and early control problems) were two of the most important aspects of the subject. The way I understand WP:LEAD to read, that makes them worthy of inclusion in the lead. Though I've been around for a little bit, I still run across new rules and exceptions, so I thought I would get your perspective on it. Thanks! EricEnfermero Howdy! 06:26, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion I wouldn't consider the control problems really that important enough for the intro. Looking at his stats, it also looks like that was a little overstated and there was no reference on the article to support the statement anyway. I think I agree about the fastball inclusion if a reference can be found.--Yankees10 16:58, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I've begun to beef up the leads of a lot of MLB articles, so I just wanted to make sure that I had a good understanding. I'll see what I can find as far as sources. Thanks! EricEnfermero Howdy! 05:17, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Dominic Smith (baseball) 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 or group of people, but it does not 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 "Click here to 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.

Most of the time, it's good form to notify an article's contributors of the proposal, using the line generated by the PROD tag (see step 5 under "Nomination" at WP:PROD for rationale). In this case, I've gone ahead and done it for the article's creator and also for its most significant contributor. Ibadibam (talk) 21:33, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Kevin Kiermaier. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:12, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vic Power

FYI, the article still needs work. Whomever moved it to Victor Pellot also changed Power to Pellot within the article multiple times. When was the change to Victor Pellot made?...William 19:13, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just looking through the edit history, it doesn't look like there was ever a move before. I think the page was created as Victor Pellot.--Yankees10 19:23, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Athletes from Minnesota

I'm not going to get into an edit war with you, but the section clearly exists - I've now pulled it up twice (Category:Athletes from Minnesota) so I'm not sure why you are saying that you are seeing it as red. As I said in my revert comment, Nagurski is the only one on the list, but if you take Steinbach off the whole Cat should probably be deleted. Up to you, but I don't see any reason to strike it...

Due to your edits in one place of the article it is 3x champion in another it is 2x champion. He was with Yankees that year. So leave me a comment for my amusement in the article or here.--Ilyaroz (talk) 22:48, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter that he played games with the Yankees that year. Per WP:Baseball conensus a player must have been on the World Series roster.--Yankees10 23:30, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, then read the WHOLE article and fix it as needed. Another suggestion is to use "Edit summary (Briefly describe the changes you have made)". --Ilyaroz (talk) 01:28, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Get off your Fielding Bible Award rampage.

Point me to any rule, policy or suggestion stating that only "official MLB awards" can be listed in a baseball player's "Career Highlights and Awards" section of their infobox. Then note that this has never been the practice, as a glance at the articles for Jason Heyward, Brendan Ryan, or Curtis Granderson will disclose. Then recall that many "official" awards aren't official at all; the vaunted MVP award has been sponsored and awarded by the BBWAA for decades. Then kindly stop deleting relevant, useful information from player pages. SS451 (talk) 13:38, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Sorry, about that. I didn't see the edit summary. But I re-looked at the removal of the succession box. And I don't understand why you removed it as it isn't a redundant template.

Hackenberg

Any reason for your undoing my revision?

1. I modeled the section exactly like it appears for other QB like Johnny Football 2. There were no references, and references should be added of course, but there were references to the exact same awards in the infobox. The next guy can add them. 3. There is only 1 award in each category, but he won other awards. The next guy can add them.

Darqueze Dennard and Michael Sam

Can I ask why you deleted the articles Darqueze Dennard and Michael Sam only to re-create them yourself? I checked the viewing history, and both articles have shown me that they where started by your account. You may not be to blame for their deletion, but you've put a few of my articles up for deletion before (Yawin Smallwood, Gabe Ikard etc.) so it's just a hunch. If that is the case, can you explain why?

Also, the article C. J. Fiedorowicz was deleted, yet I received no proposed deletion warning for it..

You keep deleting my added spouse information.why? Not only is this information accurate but I personally know both parties. If you have doubts about accuracy go and google it .

Hello Yankees10. I declined the technical move request of this page, but you can still open a WP:Requested move if you wish at Talk:Nate Davis (American football). Names similar to 'Nate Davis' appear to be in wide use. See Nate Davis (disambiguation) and Nathan Davis (disambiguation). There was also Nathan Davis (American football) who was a defensive lineman. So there are other uses of the name on Wikipedia that will need to be distinguished. EdJohnston (talk) 03:36, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Minor league player articles

Sorry about that...it's almost 2 AM

The players I'm listing have all logged considerable time at Triple-A and will likely reach the major leagues within the next couple seasons. Alex (talk) 06:35, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Career Triple-A players more often than not reach the major leagues at some point (see Brock Peterson, Tommy Watkins, Matt Macri and J.C. Boscan for examples), if only for a late-season token promotion. I don't see the harm in keeping his entry on that page for the time being, at least. Alex (talk) 16:45, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Realistically, I don't have a ton of minor league entries to add. Each of the players I have on tap spent time in Triple-A in 2013, were among the league leaders in at least one positive, major statistical category and are obviously currently in an organization's system. Though a few are of the geriatric variety like Overbeck, many are still 'prospect age.' I'm not just adding guys willy-nilly, as these are all players who I believe have a realistic shot at reaching the major leagues in the future. Alex (talk) 00:30, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What harm does it do? Those pages are compendia of information on lesser-known players who do not yet have enough behind them to merit their own articles. No one is negatively affected by these inclusions. If they make the major leagues, then that information is transferred to its own page and all is well and good. If they don't and get released, the information is removed. Nothing is being hurt by having those guys - especially the older ones, who if they don't make it to the major leagues, will likely quit sooner rather than later - covered. I think some of us are trying too hard to maintain some sort of sanctity of those pages, while in my view there is no harm at all in having entries on the minor leaguers. Alex (talk) 02:53, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind the idea of having a standard, but it should be enumerated somewhere. Our standards are quite different, obviously. Alex (talk) 06:40, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
