Talk:History of the Boston Red Sox

Vandalism
This page seems to have been heavily vandalized by someone. It's extremely POV with asinine references to the Patriots Giants superbowl and using phrases like the "beloved Rays." If I get to it, I'll request it for protection and try to get it to at least a reasonable level. Tithonfury (talk) 22:20, 17 February 2010 (UTC)


 * The vandalism seems to have gone away, but not the POV emphasis; my guess is that, in part, it's because edits are made which are taken straight from sources, with no attempt at paraphrasing. Hushpuckena (talk) 05:10, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

File:2006Boston010.jpg licensing problem
I have listed an image in use in this article, File:2006Boston010.jpg as a possibly unfree file at Possibly unfree files/2011 August 25. While I think the file is clearly non-free, it may be eligible for use as a non-free file, so I am leaving a note here in case anyone would like to put together a fair use rationale during the listing period before it is deleted.

Orphaned references in History of the Boston Red Sox
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of History of the Boston Red Sox's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "StoutArticle": From History of the New York Yankees:  From New York Yankees:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 03:08, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
