Speedy deletion nomination of Ed Lucas(baseball)


A tag has been placed on Ed Lucas(baseball) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Cheers! ► Wireless Keyboard ◄ 15:54, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting my mistake on the Template:Atlanta Braves roster page. I was racing to correct it the minute I discovered my mistake, only to find it already changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbqsauce13 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

2012 Atlanta Braves season
Hey there. I just wanted to say nice job with that addition/subtraction table on 2012 Atlanta Braves season. I had been considering something like that, but wasn't sure the best way to go about it. I really think that ties the entire offseason section together. Thanks again for all of that.

I also wanted to thank you for joining WikiProject Atlanta Braves. I started it this offseason with the hope that Braves editors could better all the articles in the Braves area through a centralized point. It looks like it will probably be a useless endeavor given the lack of interest, but having at least one other editor on that list certainly helps.

Go Braves! BBQ (talk) 23:15, 6 February 2012 (UTC)


 * "Thanks for the compliment on the table. I really wanted a way of mentioning all of the players that came and went since last season ended but I didn't want to drag it out in writing. I see graphics with additions/subtractions on MLB Network when breaking down teams and thought the table would be the best idea.


 * ''"BTW. I like the Braves chances this year. They've got plenty of quality starting pitching, the best bullpen in baseball, a very deep bench with Hinske, Diaz, and Jack Wilson. The biggest concern is the offense from the starting lineup. I think the more established hitting coach, Greg Walker, will bring them back up to par. Heyward and Prado being able to bounce back will be the key to the Braves success. Of course, the NL East is gonna be tough. Every team in the division except the Mets could win the division. We'll find out by March 1 whether a second wild card team is gonna be added in 2012 or 2013. That could be a factor of whether the Braves are playoff bound this year being one of the 2 WC teams. -BravesInsider13


 * "I had one more thought about the table. In my opinion, any player added before opening day during Spring Training would still be considered offseason transaction and put on the table as an offseason transaction. Just a thought. What do you think? - BravesInsider13"

Yeah, I like prose for the amount of intricate detail that can be expressed, but a table is a much clearer and more concise way of highlighting key information. I'll probably do some rearranging on the page after I write this. I'm making it up as I go, to be honest. This is the first year I will be all-inclusive with the season article.

My ultimate goal for the page is to present it in chronological order. Unforunately, there have already been some problems with that. I think including Spring Training acquisitions on that table is probably best, as it is still technically "offseason." This is a perfect example of what I meant by problems with maintaining chronological order. Having a second table in the Spring Training section with the exact same information would be rather pointless.

If the team stays healthy, I think we can return to the playoffs. We essentially have the same team as last year, and that team was fourth-best in the Majors until the September collapse began. Many fans I've talked to are angry with the lack of changes, but I'm content with it. I like our chances, especially with a new hitting and assistant hitting coach. Making that change was vital, in my opinion. If Heyward can return to form, we will probably win 95 games. Of course, as you perfectly mentioned, the Phillies, Marlins, and Nationals have improved greatly. I hope that win total will be enough. BBQ (talk) 00:36, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Atlanta Braves uniforms
Hey, man. I'm sorry. When I went to upload the Braves uniforms, it was the day of Wikipedia's SOPA blackout, so I didn't get a chance to update the image. Then I thought I did, but apparently I never made the update. I just did it now, so they're up to date. --The Silent Wind of Doom (talk) 17:09, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Please remember to update the navbox template when you update the main roster template. I did it for you today, and when the Braves signed Lindgren a few days ago. Thanks. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:51, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Roster numbers
Where are you getting the jersey numbers for the players? I saw that you've added "19" as R. A. Dickey's number, but it's not listed at at the Braves roster page on MLB.com yet. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 23:07, 8 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Ok, I understand. However, anyone can claim "Braves have press conference introducing Dickey with jersey number 19". Without some idea of when this occurred, it's really too vague to meet WP:RS. Given that the Braves roster site is listed on the Braves Roster page on WP, it is probably best to use this as the only source. The Braves webmasters will update it in time, and WP has no deadline. - BilCat (talk) 00:51, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
