Punctuation marks inside vs. outside quotation marks

I noticed you made some edits to Hamlet, which included moving periods and commas inside quotation marks in a few places. If you read this from the Wikipedia Manual of Style, you'll see that there are cases when punctuation should remain outside the quotation marks. I know traditional grammar rules prescribe keeping the punctuation inside, but Wikipedia has slightly different rules, which make sense in the context of accurately attributing quoted text to sources.

Holyoke Blue Sox

Hi, noticed your revert, which then reinstated a citation problem. As far as I can seem the guy's name etc is buried in the stuff about alumni & this was why I made the "not notable" decision. Feel free to revert again but if you do so then please could you also fix the problem with the refs. - Sitush (talk) 19:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey, fixed the citation tag problem (though that really threw me for a loop for a second, haha). And I'm sorry if I'm being an idiot, but how do the notability guidelines for articles (a baseball player must have played at the AAA level or in a minor league all-star game in lower levels) apply to a player's being mentioned in a page section? As a professional alumnus of the team about whom the article is written, wouldn't he merit a mention in an alumni section on the page? Thanks for being civil and starting a conversation by the way.

It's a rule of thumb thing. If we do not do this then lists become untenably long, and this applies to all sorts of subjects rather than just sports players. A line has to be drawn somewhere and the easiest, most consistent way to do so is to invoke the WP:N guidelines. You'll see it happening on pages for towns/cities etc, on those for schools and colleges ... and just about everywhere else. I'm not sure why you have not seen the convention before but it certainly should apply to Blue Sox. Remember also that lists in articles are discouraged in the first place (I know, I know, this is a rule that sometimes seem to be observed more in the breach than in its application!). Create a separate "list" article, although even then the notability convention would usually be applicable. - Sitush (talk) 19:39, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm, interesting. I just have trouble looking past the line that opens to WP:N page- "On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a topic can have its own article." Thus, the information within articles need not be subjected to as stringent notability guidelines as the article topic itself. In any case, I wouldn't think an article titled "List of Holyoke Blue Sox professional alumni" would meet WP:N. I'm not exactly prepared to haggle over policy though, so happy editing, and thanks very much for the conversation. Kithira (talk) 19:59, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

MLB

Hi! I'm from Latvian Wikipedia. I really want to write some articles about tha most known MLB players in Latvian, but I don't know about whom should I write in Latvian Wiki. So could you tell me please who are the most known and greatest players (current and all-time) — some 5-10.--Edgars2007 (Talk/Contributions) 10:30, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk header

Hi, it's not necessary to add talk headers to every talk page, as here. Per {{talkheader}}, it is "intended to be used on particularly active talk pages that attract commentary from inexperienced editors, and/or high levels of debate from everyone", none of which apply here. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:45, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Sounds good, sorry about that. Kithira (talk) 15:58, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey, saw you stopped by my page and just wanted to say thanks. Your stadium list is impressive; you have a pretty big head start on me. ;) Ensign beedrill (talk) 17:48, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

College baseball navboxes

Kithira, I see you've done a lot of work on college baseball navboxes. I just wanted to give you a heads up about some navbox cleanup I'm doing. I working on bringing some consistency to the navboxes across all college sports. Take a look at Template:Big Ten Conference baseball venue navbox, particularly with respect to the naming scheme. Also note that the template is carrying the colors of the Big Ten logo. These are standards we want to aim for with all college sports navboxes. Let me know if you have any thoughts. Thanks.
