April 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe our core policies. Megaman en m (talk) 13:03, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

about neutrality
Among the many great players to grace Hilldale's roster were

1934 series between American Giants and Stars
The generally assumed reason for the delay during the series was simply that there were still other games being scheduled. IIRC, both teams engaged in a 4-team double-header in Yankee Stadium (with the Black Yankees and Crawfords) during that period, and there may have been more exhibitions. Throughout its history, it seems to me that the Negro Leagues had a sharper eye out for making a buck (and surviving) than worrying about how clear and standardized its championship series were. -- Couillaud (talk) 17:42, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Linking seasons in player articles
We are currently discussing this topic of linking seasons from years at the Baseball WikiProject talk page. Could you please join that discussion? KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 16:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Mets-Phillies
I saw your additions; I actually went through and fixed some formatting things and added some other references. I didn't see any support in the provided reference for half the fans being Mets fans, though, so it had to go. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 22:15, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * And with you. Cheers! Have a star. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 22:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * With the quality info you've located and added to this article, we've got a great chance at nominating this for good article in the near future! Keep it up! KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 14:45, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Tip of the cap to you as well; I would have had no idea where to look for all of this new info. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 14:14, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Great info, thanks. I'll start looking for more info for the recent history section (2000-present). KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils )
 * What a quote! You keep earning that star; great work! KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 19:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Since you've been a major contributor to the above article, I wanted to let you know that I am nominating it for good article status. Thanks a lot for all of your contributions! KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 15:33, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * A lot of those things that you mentioned are great fodder for the "regional proximity" section, which really can be broken down into "Causes". I have some good sources for the treatment of Robinson that I used in Whiz Kids that I can incorporate into this article as well. A good article doesn't have to be perfectly exhaustive either; as long as it's complete and covers the major points in a neutral and referenced way, it can pass. Featured article would be the next goal after that. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 20:15, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Allen Iverson
Minor quibble here, but right now, the news is that he accepted, but not yet signed, the offer. Until he puts his pen to a piece of paper, he's not yet on the team, and before he can sign, he has to pass a physical. I'm not going to touch your edit, but I wanted you to know why I changed your earlier edit. Cheers. --Mosmof (talk) 15:30, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, yeah, I didn't want to get into an edit war over a technicality that's going to be moot in a couple of days. Mosmof (talk) 15:35, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Negro league baseball task force
As part of WikiProject Baseball, I've set up a new Negro league baseball task force page. I intend it to be a place where editors who are interested on these articles can communicate with each other and coordinate our work. I'd like to invite you to add your name to the task force here, or if you'd prefer not do that, at least invite you to add the page to your watch list. Thanks.

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:54, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing Shibe Park...
Thank you for the kind words about Shibe Park. They mean all the more to me, coming from you — your "byline" is involved in many articles I've enjoyed! I hope you got to see the Shibe article a few weeks back when it still had the photo of the 2001 commemorative postage stamp: it was a great way to wrap up the tale, all clean and new again after the long sad decline — but a crusading photo deletionist decided its presence there would cause the collapse of western civilization and yanked it despite consensus to keep it. Should you cross paths with Delaywaves or Baseball Bugs, please mention to them that you like Shibe Park — they worked hard on it also. Anyway, thanks again for your note, it made my week! — HarringtonSmith (talk) 19:44, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dock Street Market, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Edmund Bacon. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Interview with Jewish Exponent
Hello,

My name is Eric Schucht and I'm a reporter for the Jewish Exponent in Philadelphia. I'm writing an article on the history behind the Wikipedia page on the History of the Jews in Philadelphia. I saw that you made some major edits to the page a while back and I was wondering if you'd be willing to talk to me about why you decided to add to the page, what exactly you added and what lead you to edit Wikipedia pages in general. Please feel free to email me if you're interested.

Thank you,

Andrei Doroshin
Hi, I saw you reverted an edit on the Thomas Farley article due to a bias towards Doroshin. The same editor has created Andrei Doroshin, which I believe is also written from a non-neutral POV. You seem to know more about the topic and I'm quite green in this area (both Wikipedia-wise and about covid testing in Philadelphia). I have created a neutrality dispute on Talk:Andrei Doroshin and I'd appreciate your input. Rostipe (talk) 17:37, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

How do you have access to sources for the Cougar Chronicle? The sources are quite old since the Chronicle has only been online for two years.

The Ballpark
I appreciate that somebody finally created an article on The Ballpark (Gainesville), which I've mentioned in other articles covering early Florida Gator sports but didn't really know much about. As you may have seen, I was inspired to find a couple sources and expand it quite a bit. You mentioned in the intro and the infobox that the ballpark hosted the Phillies for spring training in the 1890s, but I couldn't find a citation so I didn't include that factoid in the body text. Where did you find that info? Organized spring training didn't really get going until the early 1900s, but I do know that professional teams would sometimes tour small towns in the weeks leading up to the regular season. I assume that's what the Phillies did in Gainesville, but we should find a good source to verify that assumption so the statement can remain in the lead and be explained in the history section.

Also, we were apparently editing the article at the same time earlier today but I think I preserved your info and references; sorry if I missed something. Thanks, and good stuff! Zeng8r (talk) 20:51, 16 August 2022 (UTC)


 * You're welcome, and thank YOU for picking up and running with it! ... In my research, I've found that baseball teams were going south to fixed locations in Florida, Georgia, Virginia, etc... as early as the late 1880s and early 1890s. I have citations for the Phillies from the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1892. When I have a moment, I will add a couple to the article with references. Thank you again for this note, and your work on the article! PHILA19147 (talk) 17:52, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Also: (1) Do you know if a contemporary photo exists for the field? I'd love to add it to the article. (2) I'm not connected to Gainesville or UF; would it be possible to obtain a picture of the historic marker to post to the article as well? Ty! PHILA19147 (talk) 17:54, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll be in Gainesville this weekend and will probably have time to swing to get a current photo. Never seen a pic of the field in its heyday, though. The best place to look would probably be the UF archives - don't have time to dig into this today, but here's the link if you want to take a look: https://universityarchives.uflib.ufl.edu/ Zeng8r (talk) 20:19, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Awesome! It would be great to have a current photo. Thank you for the archives link; I'll take a look. PHILA19147 (talk) 13:41, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Photo looks great! Thank you! This is Wikipedia at its very best. PHILA19147 (talk) 15:25, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * bows 
 * Also, I finally found a photo of a football game at the field in 1907. (Calling it "primitive" was being generous, lol.) I'll upload the "new" photo and tweak the spring training paragraph a little bit, and then we can proudly declare this a successful Wikiquest. Zeng8r (talk) 22:13, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * (A) 1907 is a great find! (B) It's not clear the Phillies were first MLB team in Florida; 1892 was definitely first year the Phillies trained in Florida. I clarified the paragraph so this is clear. PHILA19147 (talk) 01:19, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * This is more your area of expertise than mine, but are you sure that the Phillies didn't train in Florida before 1892? The Grapefruit League section of the spring training article says they came down to Jacksonville a couple years earlier, and while there's a citation for that statement, it's behind a paywall. I also found this article from the Philadelphia Inquirer on the topic but it's locked for non-subscribers. Sports was largely undocumented in those days so it's hard to pin these things down. Zeng8r (talk) 16:08, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * This is very cool, and I stand corrected. I've worked my research back to 1891 for the Phillies so far, and had not reached 1889. I will update the article. I have complete access to the Inquirer archives. PHILA19147 (talk) 16:36, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Good stuff. I'd love to research things like this all day but alas my schedule does not allow it. Zeng8r (talk) 15:01, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
