Updates[edit]

Bagumba, if I get a chance or when I'm motivated to, I'll still help [you] with updating this article. Or at least I'll try. Most of the info I'll get "at a glance" from this source: [1] 99.129.112.89 (talk) 05:59, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Be bold!—Bagumba (talk) 07:35, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Recent reverts[edit]

You don't undo everything just because a source is in the heading. Those are that way all over Wikipedia. Simply move it then. The "copy" issue does not apply here. I typed those up myself and the others are simple stats, list of players/transactions, etc. This is obviously a personal jab at me. I mean, seriously? Here and the other MLB articles I did? The entry is fine. If anything, you should argue that Wikipedia isn't a place for facts, lists, news, etc. Let's see... no discussion, no concensus, unproductive/disruptive, etc. Real nice. 99.129.112.89 (talk) 22:49, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources in headings are not all over wikipedia, and if they are, they are incorrect.
But you do immediately remove cut and paste copyright violations, no discussion, no "consensus" needed -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:52, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Even if it's sourced, it can't be closely WP:PARAPHRASE. WP:OTHERSTUFF is only valid if the rationale behind the other stuff is reasonable.—Bagumba (talk) 22:55, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They are like that all over wikipedia. And what was text is sourced. All I'd have to do is type "according to". You are causing disruptions and removing good edits. All sports stats are "copyright". A game that has a score of 1-9 can't be typed differently. A player put on the disabled list or aquired can't be typed otherwise. It's more nonsense... I know why you've removed it. I don't care though, it affects me 0%. 99.129.112.89 (talk) 23:01, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't care, why have you spent the past few hours trying to start a war? AutomaticStrikeout (TCSign AAPT) 23:02, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"The Tigers won, 9-1." "Scoring only 1 run, the Padres lost to the Tigers who scored 9 runs." "In a 9 to 1 victory, the Tigers moved to third place in the division." "Smith held the Padres to one run in the Tiger's 9-1 victory."
You cannot copyright stats, but you were not just inputting stats, you were cutting and pasting large chunks of intact text. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:07, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinions. That is not true. So gang up on me [again] because I'm defending myself on a talk page. You don't have to like it, but the war started with someone clearly removing my content after a lost dispute. Go ahead and have the final word though, I won't return. Very petty, so I'll take the high road and stay classy! :) 99.129.112.89 (talk) 23:18, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How many times have you said that now? I don't know what has precipitated all of this, and I'm not sure that you don't have a legitimate gripe. However, I will say that you have gone about stating your gripe in almost as poor of a manner as possible. AutomaticStrikeout (TCSign AAPT) 23:22, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not really wanting to get into this, but the transaction listing is a questionable thing for a cut and paste violation as thats mostly just factual data that really is only said one way in lists like that... optioned so and so to the minors, placed so and so on the DL... etc... The highlights stuff was probably too close so that was rightly removed. A better way to do the transaction list is to find individual sources for each transaction rather than copying a transaction log from espn.. team writers probably wrote articles on each event so it shouldn't be hard to do.
