Editor of the Week&thinsp;: nominations needed!
The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

Eddy Furniss
As a fan of LSU sports, I had heard of Furniss but never really looked into his accomplishments, but I knew he didn't make it to the majors. So I was surprised when I saw his article was a GA. I was wondering, what made you pick it up? Was it just a spur of the moment thing? Either way, college baseball is criminally under-represented on Wikipedia, and if not for all the issues American football is facing I'd be spending more time trying to remedy that. So your contributions in that area are appreciated by at least one person Lizard  (talk) 15:46, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

DYK articles
Hi Mubo, I was wondering if you could give me some help regarding nominating DYK articles. There are a number of specific pages I've been editing for some time now which have some hooks I'd like to use. The problem is that a lot of the information added was done more than 7 days ago which, to my understanding, means I can't use it? Am I misinterpreting this? If not, is there any way to nominate pages in circumstances where the hook has been added more than 7 days ago? Cheers, Liam E. Bekker (talk) 16:48, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * For DYK, the article has to be expanded five-fold within I think seven days. It had been five days, but it was extended. The hook could have been in the pre-expansion version, that's not a part of the rules. You have to consider where an article is, and if you can expand it five-fold in a week. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:38, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

I noticed you reverted Agarc192 for their edits to Chet Trail, so you might look at this: Sockpuppet investigations/Agarc192. Another editor filed it after I caught them repeatedly making un-MoS edits to an article I watch. I don't know what's up with them, but it's strange.

A modicum of WP:AGF please
Clinton was not closely connected to the Ronald Reagan administration or the Lyndon Johnson administration, but she was closely connected to the Bill Clinton and Barack Obama administrations, so pipe-linking to the latter sections was reasonable.

Help
Hey I saw you are interested in baseball and I was wondering if you would be interested in helping raise Bill "Spaceman" Lee to a GA or at least helping expand it a little? I've mostly focused on his gubernatorial campaign since it is recent but tackling his history is challenging especially someone with so many stories and intrigue as Lee. Spongie555 (talk) 06:38, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your interest in the article. I can see from a quick glance that there are many unsourced statements in the article. Every paragraph needs a citation at a minimum. Otherwise, I'm a bit busy and may not be able to work on the baseball portion, but his biography is an interesting one making him a good candidate to be improved for GA when my attention allows. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:40, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Award templates
Hi. I see no reason why the namesake of the named baseball award templates shouldn't be listed on the template, or, even more reason why the templates can't be on the pages of the namesakes themselves (at a minimum). Reasoning? Thanks, maybe we can start a discussion on this if you feel strongly. And thanks for all of your very good work on baseball pages. Randy Kryn 20:27, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
 * For one thing it seemed like there were already a lot of templates on Cy Young's page. The award itself is linked, and the award pages all discuss the namesakes of the awards. I don't feel that strongly, and could be convinced there's a way to do what you did, but my initial impulse was WP:BRD. Maybe we can have that discussion at WT:BASEBALL for greater community input. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:30, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, maybe will bring it there a bit later (have to sign off soon). My thought was that the younger readers might never read up on some of the namesakes, so a link to their pages might interest a few. Although many of the players have a huge amount of templates, which seems to be allowed on bb pages (especially if most are trapped in a navbox cage), a specific award named for the player or official seemed like a fair addition on the players page itself. Will get back to it later, unless you'd like to open a discussion there and I'll join in. Randy Kryn 20:49, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
 * It's not necessary to have the namesake in the templates. The purpose of the these templates is to navigate the players that won the award. The namesake is fine for the article but not necessary in the template.--Yankees10 20:46, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
 * How about leaving the namesake on just the Hutch Award template, since there it's not obvious who the award is named after. Maybe a longer discussion at the project if the award templates themselves can be attached to the template lists of the namesakes. Been reading The Life That Ruth Built, a wonderful book, have learned a lot about Ruth I've missed before (nothing like the one and only The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs though, since I read that a few years ago I've been calling Ruth the most underrated player in baseball history).

California public domain
Please note that the official portrait of Edwin Lee is in the public domain as a California state government work, as described in Template:PD-CAGov.

Plot
Rather than simply re-adding the plot clean up template, I hope you can assist the article by fixing its plot length, as I do not see anything worth removing, or is an unnecessary detail about the episode.
