Conan (TV series)

The ongoing dispute on how to handle the Tonight Show info is just not ending. We need a consensus in either direction. You've chipped in on the Talk page. Can you support me in finally ending this issue? My stand remains that Tonight Show info should be cut down from three paragraphs (including one above the fold) to one below the fold. Thanks. Milchama (talk) 17:05, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look at it. --Muboshgu (talk) 17:52, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cardinals roster

The uniform number changes that I inserted are a result of this article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/article_b5642f1a-02ea-11e0-b3d0-0017a4a78c22.html

Mike Aldrete has been the assistant hitting coach for the Cardinals since 2008.

Please stop reverting these constructive changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhremo3 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had no way of knowing this about the numbers. Next time, put the url in the edit summary. However I see no evidence of Mike Aldrete being part of the coaching staff [1] --Muboshgu (talk) 18:01, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Link for Aldrete: http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/article_74c091d0-aaf5-5af4-8924-04b58a5d4362.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhremo3 (talk • contribs) 18:08, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Moves to manager lists

Is there any reason that you undertook changing a lot of stuff with the MLB managers lists? Or was there a discussion somewhere that I missed? — KV5 • Talk • 13:42, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There wasn't a discussion. I noticed that about half of the franchises had "owner and executive" pages and that they were horribly unstandardized, so I put them in the same format and created them for the franchises that didn't have them. They should either all have them or none should. Then I noticed that some of the manager pages had GM info, and that some of them were at featured list status. At that point I thought about stopping and holding a discussion before moving that info, but I noticed most of the manager pages didn't have any GM info so aiming for standardization, I thought I could move forward and explain my actions later. --Muboshgu (talk) 14:45, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, making sure I wasn't missing something. Perhaps now's a good time to bring up at WT:MLB where the general managers belong. — KV5 • Talk • 17:47, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. --Muboshgu (talk) 20:16, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Philadelphia Phillies Opening Day starters template

Whoo, that's long-looking. I'm ok with it if you are, I was just trying to save space. — KV5 • Talk • 16:57, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was testing it, it seemed okay on Template:New York Yankees Opening Day starting pitchers. Point is it's way too long when it lists each one by year in the template, and I like what you did much better. You can revert back to last names only if you want, doesn't much matter to me. I think it was 4 lines that way and 6 this way (at least on my monitor). Judgment call. --Muboshgu (talk) 19:29, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Anderson

Are you sure about changing Anderson's page to outfielder/pitcher. He hasn't pitched a single Major League inning yet so it seems premature to me.. His career to this point has been as an outfielder. Perhaps some discussion on the project page about this first? Spanneraol (talk) 00:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You think it's necessary for him to have pitched in the majors before it's appropriate? He's gone through the conversion, pitched some last year, and signed as a pitcher for 2011. --Muboshgu (talk) 01:24, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Usually, the position the player is credited as is one in which he has played in the majors. Spanneraol (talk) 02:22, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Starting pitchers template

Why'd you make such a radical change? I liked the original style better, provided much more information. Spanneraol (talk) 02:23, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, forgot the edit summary. These templates are too big, and repeat names. Info on who started which Opening Day is available at the page, the template should be for navigation. --Muboshgu (talk) 02:32, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Kerry Wood

Actually, the deal is final. Cubs.com isn't reporting it yet because he has to take a physical before they can. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/12/cubs-to-sign-kerry-wood.html There's some proof. Jntg4Games (talk) 02:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It says Cubs "to" sign Kerry Wood. That's future tense. If Wood fails the physical, the deal is off, so the deal isn't final. --Muboshgu (talk) 02:55, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He won't fail it. Just stop changing it, it will be official by tomorrow anyway. If you already changed it again, then whatever, more work but fine. Jntg4Games (talk) 03:25, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know he won't fail? That's a violation of WP:CRYSTAL. --Muboshgu (talk) 03:26, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

luke scott

Whether it is routine or not, it doesn't change the fact that it was just news coverage and nothing more. It is irrelevant to his bio. Truthsort (talk) 02:50, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You might be right. I'm open to reconsidering. But like I said in my edit summary, you should take it up on Talk:Luke Scott to change consensus. --Muboshgu (talk) 03:01, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, have you changed your mind on this issue? Truthsort (talk) 16:44, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2011-present issue

If this is still bothering you, check out WT:BASEBALL. I have written an idea that may help the problem. What do you think of it? TL565 (talk) 21:42, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also one more thing. Before I start changing to the new compromise, should it be "present" or "Present" with a capital P? TL565 (talk) 04:10, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um, I think capital is better, but I'm not sure. Not a big deal. --Muboshgu (talk) 04:12, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information about the infoboxes. I was unaware of the compromise. TheLabryinth (talk) 19:15, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

#8 for Berra

I'd think Yogi Berra is to be considered a PLAYER who's number was retired, not a player/manager like Billy Martin for example. Yes, he did have the managerial job with the Yankees on two brief stints, but his number was retired exclusively as a catcher. Plus, his second stint hadn't even happened yet at the time the number was being retired in '72. I thought his number should be listed as a catcher only. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Subtorrct (talk • contribs) 01:30, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are right that while Martin was recognized as a player/manager, Berra was recognized predominantly for his playing. You make a good point, but we typically list all relevant positions, even if Berra's two managerial tenures were forgettable. --Muboshgu (talk) 02:12, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Terry Collins

Okay, I read the above passage on your page, but shouldn't it be applied to all other managers hired in the 2010-11 offseason? Richiekim (talk) 15:32, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Those are wrong and I'll change them to make it all uniform. Nobody should have "2011-present" in their infobox since it's not the 2011 season yet (hell, it isn't 2011 yet) and saying "future to present" is not right. --Muboshgu (talk) 15:33, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

December 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Brandon Webb. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You broke the WP:3RR rule attempting to revert the addition of unreferenced information on Brandon Webb, a BLP. Although the addition of unreferenced information is a clear violation of the BLP policy, a search could have shown you the connection between Rangers and Brandon Webb. In other words, rather than reverting, you should have taken this issue to the BLP Noticeboard. But I assume good faith and hope that in the future, before breaking the 3RR rule, you will take considerable care. Thanks Wifione _.......^{Leave a message} 13:01, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Ozzy Smith

Hello Muboshgu. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Ozzy Smith, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Is a plausible, useful redirect or is not a redirect at all. Thank you. Nancy ^talk 17:34, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary

Hi there, I am quite impressed with your edits, but could you leave edit summaries? Thanks and happy editing.--TM 20:51, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, and yes that is something I've gotten out of the habit of doing. I try to edit fast and I forget from time to time but I'll make more of an effort to leave summaries in the future. --Muboshgu (talk) 21:34, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gabrielle Giffords and the 112th United States Congress

Thanks for correcting me. I jumped to conclusions.—Markles 19:48, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This whole thing is incredibly confusing. It's understandable. --Muboshgu (talk) 19:50, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We forget that news isn't always: 1) immediate; and 2) accurate. —Markles 19:59, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Accidental removal?

I think you accidentally removed the sentence about the killed child I inserted. If this is the case, could you please restore it? I'd rather not make any reverts. Nanobear (talk) 00:02, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's restored. It should have produced an edit conflict, but maybe reflinks doesn't produce those? --Muboshgu (talk) 00:05, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The address is very relevant. People correctly think that we should not put peoples' home address but this is not a home. Hakkapeliitta (talk) 20:23, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
