Date of NL 2014 Cy Young Award
He was announced as the NL Cy Young Award Winner on November 13, 2014.
 * Not true.. the MVP award was on the 13th, the cy young on the 12th. Spanneraol (talk) 04:42, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The date is unimportant. Ten years from now (hell, ten days from now) nobody will care if it was Nov 12 or Nov 13. They'll only care that he won. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:39, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
 * But having actually looked at the page, it's presented well, so I won't touch it. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:41, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Saturday
In regards to disputing my conributions, I don't think there is anything wrong with disclosing which day of the week Clayton's birthday fell. 108.27.63.106 (talk) 03:54, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry - I just addressed it on your talk page. My personal opinion about Saturday is irrelevant, as Template:Infobox baseball biography specifies the syntax for the date of birth field - just the date. EricEnfermero (Talk) 03:58, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * MOS:DATEFORMAT does not include using days of the week. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:39, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Agree with the others. No consensus to change. Spanneraol (talk) 04:47, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I've administered the 3RR warning to the IPs talk page. If the IP reverts again, we go to the 3RRNB. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:52, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks like he opened a dispute already.. does not understand policy at all. Spanneraol (talk) 04:55, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

We realize that this might be spanneraol's favourite page to edit, but you need to stop biting newcomers and dismissing our conributons as irrelevant. We know you'd prefer to leave out the day, but there is no rule that expressly forbids adding the day.—Anonymous (talk) 13:28, October 14, 2015‎
 * So now you're editing from two separate IP addresses. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:29, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I edit from a smartphone so it constantly changes . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymous (talk) 17:47, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It is against consensus to add the day... and on wikipedia we work with consensus. You have not had one person agree with your position and you cant just keep inserting your preferred version over everyone elses comments. Spanneraol (talk) 18:06, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * To WP:3RRNB we go. The changing IP addresses are a complication they can handle. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:23, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Evaluating Articles and Sources
The information presented on Clayton Kershaw's Wikipedia page is presented in a neutral perspective while giving the reader key information about the pitcher's career. Despite the amount of success Clayton Kershaw has had in the MLB, the article is not presented with any bias towards the player and only states the facts about the pitcher. Since statistics play a heavy role in professional sports, the wikipedia page contains a lot of citations, in which the editors of the article have done a good job with. All the statistics were properly cited and references. Most of the articles come from independent sources, such as US Today or Yahoo Sports, which would show no bias (only neutrality) towards Clayton Kershaw himself. However, as I was looking through the sources, there was one source, Jr. Dodger's Blog, that could have potentially shown bias as it was source for the Los Angeles Dodgers, which is Clayton Kershaw's team. Fortunately, the information cited from that blog shows information about Kershaw's personal life and not any bias towards hi career. Overall, I clicked on a couple of the citations and all the links were functioning well. After making comparisons with the articles and the Wikipedia page, there seemed to be no indications of plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Jcho53 (talk) 21:36, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

I am critiquing this Wiki for a class. So please bear with my weird comments. I hope I am doing this correctly. The article is quite neutral. It could mention plenty of pro-Kershaw or Dodgers or anti-Kershaw or Dodgers facts and it has none. It is also very relevant to the source (Clayton Kershaw). It does not deviate off in any weird directions. The resources all look to be from good upstanding sites: Sports Illustrated, ESPN, LA Times, and Baseball America to name a few. I felt the Humanitarian section could use more work so I added in something about Kershaw's Ping Pong charity tournament. Breese76 (talk) 05:20, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Couple of notes on your edit, which i cleaned up, its better not to use terms like "for the past five seasons" because that dates the article from when you made the edit.. better to use actual years "since 2013".. also use last names not first names as first names is too casual. Spanneraol (talk) 13:49, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the constructive criticismBreese76 (talk) 21:44, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

2020 stats
May make sense to add his 2020 season stats. --2604:2000:E010:1100:7970:6CEA:7159:A47A (talk) 10:18, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
