Proposed removal of redundant publisher information
A number of citations in this article unnecessarily include the publisher for periodicals and websites that have their own Wikipedia article. This information has no value to anyone wanting to check or track down references. For example, publisher=Washington Post Company for references to The Washington Post, or publisher=MLB Advanced Media for references to Baseball-Reference.com, only make the article longer - significantly longer when repeated many times - without adding anything useful. Therefore I plan to upgrade the article's citations to remove all such redundant publisher info, bringing them into line with the recommended use of the cite template (see Template:Citation). Please raise any questions here or on my talk page. Colonies Chris (talk) 21:38, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Middle name
Hi all, just an fyi.

I just noticed a tweet from Curtis Granderson's account addressed to @wikipedia, saying he doesn't have a middle name, despite it being written on his Wikipedia article. He did write that he thought the "Mayfield" middle name was funny. Presumably a reference to Curtis Mayfield. https://twitter.com/cgrand14/status/278514625354534912

Looking through the history of the page, here's the diff when the middle name was added, no edit summary.

And removed here.

 * Ha! I love that C Grand notices his own wiki article at least, especially after I went to all the work of getting it to GA. I didn't notice that user adding the middle name, but I did notice it being removed, which led me to check BR and MLB.com, only to find no middle name listed. I suppose the tweet is what prompted the removal of the middle name. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:36, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I love that he didn't send an angry email via a publicist either to the Foundation or through OTRS. That was a cool way to handle it! Matthew (WMF) 20:58, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Seeing a lot of vandalism around his name in the past day. Presumably some of it is coming as a result of people reading this article on MLB.com. Matthew (WMF)  20:16, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I imagined an MLB.com beat writer or blogger might pick this up. WP:RFPP seems like the way to go. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:37, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
