Talk:Pat Burrell

Burrell's gay fan base
Please think twice about reverting my now-sourced (two sources; for the second, scroll down to the August 10th bit) comment again. I'd happy to take it all the way to Wikipedia: Requests for Comment if you do revert it. While you're at, give us a source for the female fan comment and learn some Wikipedia etiquette. If you dispute a fact in an article that isn't outright vandalism, add a Fact tag rather than removing it outright. Moncrief 12:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Batting music
Did Burrell really use a Britney Spears song as his batting music in late 2006? I have not seen any proof of this, while I have seen the other songs mentioned elsewhere as his batting music. Mikehillman 22:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

This entire article is poorly written. There are erroneous statistics, and the entry doesn't mention Burrell's success against the New York Mets, which is one of the primary elements of Burrell's career. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Selwyn Harrison (talk • contribs) 20:55, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

personal controversy
Until someone can provide a citation to an article where pat burrell spit in a woman's face and ryan howard called him "despicable", that part of the article needs to be removed.--72.191.31.112 (talk) 03:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

DH
He signed with the Rays all along to be a DH, so can we put that in the roster?-DANO- (talk) 22:46, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That's not confirmed and, according to WP:CRYSTAL, shouldn't be in the article. Projected to be is fine, but not a flat-out factual assertion. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  02:38, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Style
This article is written in the typically Wikipedia, vomit-inducing, wannabe-sportswriter style. Awful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.134.41 (talk) 03:20, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

JockBio.com link
Hey Sanfranciscogiants17, I appreciate you combing wikipedia for information that does not live up to WP:RS guidelines, but I think you went too far by removing the JockBio.com link from this article. External links do not have the same standards as regular citations. In particular, they may include "Sites that fail to meet criteria for reliable sources yet still contain information about the subject of the article from knowledgeable sources." I think that perfectly describes JockBio.com.

Actually, I think one could debate that JockBio should count as a reliable source. They publish books and have an impressive list of contributors. But unquestionably they rise to the level of "knowledgeable." Fnordware (talk) 15:51, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I left a note on WikiProject Baseball about this. If users there agree with you, then you may insert it if you feel that is necessary. Please follow the discussion there.Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 18:01, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Yahoo link
Is the external link to Burrell's Yahoo statistics necessary? There are already five other links to his statistics, and if yahoo should be in the article, it should just be added to the career stats template. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 11:34, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Since nobody has commented, and it has been a week, I am removing the link. I don't think it's necessary in addition to the career stats template. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 10:43, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Burrell Divorced
It seems to be common knowledge that Burrell got divorced in 2010, although I can't find anything that would probably rise to the level of a reliable source. The closest I can get are these two articles on BleacherReport.com:  Fnordware (talk) 18:15, 4 November 2011 (UTC)


 * How about we just delete the personal life section if it's not accurate any more? Fnordware (talk) 21:12, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
