Your recent editing history at Devin Mesoraco shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Derick Jeter, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 22:24, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did on Derek Jeter. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. the source you provide needs to actually verify the change you made. There is no mention whatsoever of his age at his debut in that source. John from Idegon (talk) 04:29, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , look, I don't know how it got in there that Jeter was 21 when he debuted with the Yankees, but he was 20. It's clear from the day of his debut and date of birth. The Baseball Reference link Dr. Buddie provided includes the line "Debut: May 29, 1995 (Age 20-337d, 14,278th in MLB history) vs. SEA 5 AB, 0 H, 0 HR, 0 RBI, 0 SB" up top. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:39, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * My bad. Forgot they truncuate their mobile version. For other than stats, though, I'm not enamored with any of that group of websites. The stats are just copypasta and harmless, but there's no indication of any of the qualities for reliability we have for any of them. DJ has been the subject of uncountable good quality sources. There's no reason to cite anything from baseball-reference.com. John from Idegon (talk) 04:57, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion
Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=1022202671&diff=prev reverted] my fix to Quinton Flynn.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both  and one or more   referring to it. Someone then removed the  but left the , which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining  with a copy of the  ; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Switch pitcher, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 08:34, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Dude, it's common sense that he wasn't on the Staten Island yankees in 2008. It even SAYS 2008 in Pat Venditte's article. DR. Buddie (talk) 16:37, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * My apologies. 2015 is when he made his major league debut. I had checked the source, but missed the difference. Sorry! BilCat (talk) 17:37, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
