Request for Aroldis Chapman help

Dear Muboshgu, I am writing to you in your capacity as a baseball expert. I have been trying to insert two sentences on the Wrigley Field DJ incident involving Aroldis Chapman on the Aroldis Chapman page. As it was reported in the Chicago Tribune (cited) along with that hotbed-of-defamation USA Today, I don't see why this should be controversial--it was certainly the most memorable point of his career so far as a Cub (if you haven't heard of the incident, a quick Google or reading my text will explain).

The issue is that someone (FoCuS something) keeps deleting what I added and says I have an "agenta" [sic], am defamatory, am a vandal, not NPOV, whatever. I don't have the Wikipedia cred to protest, but I figure you do. Could you take a quick look and decide whether suppressing this is really in Wikipedia's best interest? I am a rabid fan and would like an archival record of important events related to Cubs players, and this seems like one. I think what I put is neutral and drawn directly from the Tribune article, but if it can be written even more neutrally, go for it by all means. Cheers, enrico_suave.

Left images

You wrote: "...left flush images cannot lead a section per WP:MOS..." I did not know that and thought otherwise. I'm looking at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images and cannot find where it says that. Could you please help? Many thanks. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:08, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna Frodesiak: Thanks for asking, because now that you mention it I don't see it either. It was there, but has been removed? I recall it being an issue of accessibility, but it's not listed at Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility#Images. I need to look into this, maybe I'm remembering a rule that is moot. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:14, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my friend. Please let me know if you have new info on this. I've been making articles for years with section-top-left images. :) Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:52, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was in the instructions, arguing that a reader wants to see text under a header, not search somewhere on the right where to continue reading. I still try to avoid it, rather have a short paragraph and then a left image. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:43, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's the way I prefer to do it, too. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:55, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Gerda, you make a very good point there. I think I will avoid such left images in the future. I actually moved an image left here because of how the subject is facing and how the above image encroached into the Pussyhat section. Do you think I should revert? Please feel free to do so if you think it best. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:23, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't revert that one, because of the facing, but perhaps place it with the second sentence, a bit smaller if needed, or shorter caption (repeats pretty much what we see anyway). Do we need the image on the right above it. It "squeezes" the text on my screen. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:34, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. If you wish to make image edits, please do as you see fit. I'm reluctant to discuss at this talk page what should be done at that article because it excludes others. So, as you wish. All the best, and nice to hear from you, Gerda. I hope you are well and happy. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:42, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I tried ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:23, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question about article quality

Hi Muboshgu! I've been doing some work on expanding Mike Hollimon and I wanted to get some feedback on how to tell whether or not the article should still be considered a stub. Since you are an expert on writing baseball articles, I'd appreciate it if you or one of your talk page stalkers could weigh in. Also, have I made any glaring mistakes while working on that article? Thanks, Lepricavark (talk) 23:25, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I bumped it up to Start class. Sometimes it's a difficult call, but in this case I think it's definitely no longer a stub. I think this is a really commendable effort for a subject that played only 11 MLB games. I do notice that it's largely a retelling of season statistics; it would be interesting to see if we could find some sources on his playing style, what the scouts said about him, maybe even personal life or his post-baseball career. Not an easy task though... these "cup of coffee" players just don't get much coverage. EricEnfermero (Talk) 03:37, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Eric. I do intend to work on it more at some point in the near future, and I hope I'll be able to find some stuff along the lines of what you mentioned. Lepricavark (talk) 03:45, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lepricavark: One of the main benchmarks I use is 1,500 characters of prose. That is the bare minimum required for WP:DYK, and it seems to be about the right amount to differentiate a stub that only conveys why the subject is notable from a start article that provides a little bit more info. Even that is a rough guideline. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:56, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to remember that benchmark. I suppose it would be nice to take Hollimon to DYK, but I doubt if there's enough information about him to make it work. Lepricavark (talk) 04:53, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

4th GA Cup - Round 3

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup - Round 3

Hello, GA Cup competitors!

Sunday saw the end of Round 2. Shearonink took out Round 2 with an amazing score of 499. In second place, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga earned an astounding 236 points, and in third place, Cartoon network freak received 136 points. Originally, we had plans for one wild card for 9th place, however it appears that both Chris troutman and J Milburn were tied for 9th place. Therefore, we have decided to have both advance to Round 3.

In Round 2, 91 reviews were completed! At the beginning of this GA Cup, the longest wait was over 7 months; at the end of Round 2, the longest wait had decreased to a little over 6 months. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 3 so we can keep decreasing the backlog.

To qualify for the third round, contestants had to earn the two highest scores in each of the four pools in Round 2; plus, one wildcard. For Round 3, users were placed in 3 random pools of 3. To qualify for the Final of the 3rd Annual GA Cup, the top user in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 4th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 3 has already started and will end on February 26 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found here.

Also, we'd like to announce the departure of judge Zwerg Nase. We thank him for all his hardwork and hope to see him back in the future.

Good luck and have fun!

Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, and MrWooHoo.

To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.
