David Wells[edit]

I can't believe this lasted as long as it did on this page. My faith in Wikipedia is starting to ebb. Removed:

"Nephew by marriage to David Wells, Vernon..."

While technically possible, I suppose, as somebody who watches 100+ Blue Jays games a season I would be shocked if this were true and I didn't know about it. Quite a juicy bit of trivia. Unfortunately, barring collaboration, I'm inclined to say it's a hoax. -- Matty j 05:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rivera Comment[edit]

As I mentioned in my edit comment, I was at that game and it was a hell of a shot. That being said, the sentance is extremely poorly constructed and sets a bad example. If a Wells-hater decides to then post about a game in which Vernon went 0-5, we'd have no right to remove it. Best to keep individual examples out, except maybe to highlight some sort of outstanding 1-game achievement (hitting for the cycle, etc.) Schrodingers Mongoose 02:55, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Future[edit]

I added a paragraph dedicated to his future with the Jays. As any Jays fan would know Vernon Wells future with the club has been a hot topic among them. He's a premier player and deserves any money he can get. I would be very sad to see him go and i think hes to important of a player not to resign immediately. I added the paragraph because it seems like an extremely important part of his career. If anyone would like to touch it up feel free to do so. ETod09 08:10, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

why the hell did you delete the whole 2004 2005 seasons which i typed in? it makes no sense whoever did it your a bone head you can keep deleting it but im just gonna keep putting those seasons in because theres no reason not to 68.0.199.250 21:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wells' Page[edit]

I think Vernon Well's wiki needs a severe cleanup. As I was reading the 2006 season it was confusing. Stats were all over the place and it was not well written. Also as I said before the 2004 and 2005 seasons need to be added in. Well's is a prominent MLB ballplayer and his wiki should be updated more often. I don't understand why its not, but i think fixing up the 2006 season recap, and adding in his 2004 and 2005 seasons really should make this a much better article.

Relevant Link to Vernon Wells Foundation Deleted[edit]

A link I added to Vernon Wells Perfect 10 Foundation was ignorantly removed from "external links". Why? How could a link be any LESS relevant. There is either a double standard or some people just like to play god over Wikipedia. Michael J. Fox has links to his foundation, so it's obviously permitted. I bet I can find another 1000 person pages with links to their charities. The link I posted is linked form the homepage of the site ALREADY listed (vernonwells10.com). This is really ridiculous and I suspect after griping here that the link will continue to be deleted by the same user regardless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hostimo (talk • contribs) 06:11, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted that link because it violates the WP:What Wikipedia is not policy, as well as the WP:External links guideline and the WP:Manual of Style (medicine-related articles)#External links guideline. It's not the aim of Wikipedia to include complete list of external links related to each topic. The aim of Wikipedia is to bring information to readers. The website to which you linked doesn't contain any information that isn't already included on Vernon Wells' official website. And, as you said yourself, the website is linked from Well's official website, so its including here is redundant.

The reason why in other articles are included links to foundations is not because it is permitted, but because nobody deleted them yet. --Iohannes Animosus (talk) 20:05, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quoted from those pages....

"There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article" - vernon wells charity is not content relevant?

"What should be linked: 1. Wikipedia articles about any organization, person, web site, or other entity should link to the subject's official site, if any." - vernon wells official personal "non-sports" website is not relevant?

Information about vernon wells charity foundation needs to be added to the wiki article, which I suppose would make the links more relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hostimo (talk • contribs) 12:07, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive criticism[edit]

Please fix. 198.151.130.66 (talk) 06:36, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is also poorly written, using terms like "horrible fashion" and "heated up". 198.151.130.66 (talk) 09:10, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
