John Kennedy (baseball, born 1941)
Nice job writing this article.  jj137  ♠ 02:18, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Honestly, that particular red link stuck out at me because I'm a Dodgers fan and I remembered that Kennedy was in Koufax's perfect game (Vin Scully named all the fielders in his PBP of the ninth inning, which I've listened to approximately a hundred times). Until I saw it on the WikiProject page, I had no clue he'd even played for the Red Sox. You learn something new every day. Camanda (talk) 02:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * ...And there's my new thing I just learned. Again, nice job.   jj137  ♠ 03:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Oops
Yeah, sorry. I make a ton of edits (many of them minor), so I just blew through it and accidentally checked it off (I type with keyboard shortcuts). I meant to post my reason on the talk page, but it didn't go through the first time I submitted it. It should be up now. Thanks President David Palmer (talk) 14:18, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting the articles that were at the WP:SOX for over 10 days. I think they were there for 2-3 weeks. Anyway, continue your work.-- RyRy5  (talk)  01:27, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Dick Midkiff
[[

Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on Dick Midkiff requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Script
Since I know you add WikiProject templates to lots of talk pages, you may find this script useful.  jj137  (talk)  19:32, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, there is a script for everything on Wikipedia, huh? That should be really helpful -- thank you! Camanda (talk) 23:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think there is! WP:JS has only some of the countless tools that make life easier on here.   jj137   (talk)  23:45, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Red Sox Good Articles?
Hello, you may remember me from my other messages. Do you happen to know any Red Sox related Good Articles? If you do, can you list them or give me a link? Thanks.-- RyRy5 ( talk ) 03:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, if you look at the WP:GA page under "Everyday life," you can look at a ton of sports-related Good Articles. A quick look through them tells me there aren't any Red Sox articles up to Good Article status at the moment. I know Lee Smith (baseball) and Moe Berg have both been featured articles, though. If you want to look at biographical Good Articles, try Chris Young (pitcher), Tim Lincecum, Joe Nathan, J. R. Richard, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente. Are you looking to bring an article up to Good Article status? Camanda (talk) 15:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm trying to bring Jackie Robinson to GA, but nobody has reviewed it un days. Comments?-- RyRy5 ( talk ) 16:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The article has a tag for original research and one for a missing citation, that I can see. Try Googling around and see what you can find for citations for those statements. It's also tagged for cleanup. Try out Advisor to help you clean up articles. It will give you a list of issues it finds in the article and it will autofix those issues if you want it to. Camanda (talk) 16:41, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice here and on my talkpage. I also see your a really good contributer to baseball articles. Keep it up.-- RyRy5 ( talk ) 17:12, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. And thank you. Good luck with Jackie Robinson. Camanda (talk) 19:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I may consider using it. But I'm busy closing articles at the WP:AFD. I just closed one here. Cheers.-- RyRy5 ( talk ) 03:28, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see what that has to do with your vandalism-reverting -- doing one doesn't mean that you can't do the other. I can understand you're busy with other things at the moment, but my point was that if you plan to stay involved in vandal fighting (and my guess is that you do, judging by various userboxes on your userpage), you should use Twinkle. It will offer you an alternative to rollback, auto-open user talk pages after reverting their edits, and recall the name of the page for you and give you a list of useful templates. It makes my life easier and it will do the same for you. I guarantee that. It's better than having to go back and sign talk pages, or leaving unsigned warnings everywhere when you claim in a userbox that you sign all of your posts. Camanda (talk) 03:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll clarify. "I may consider using it. By the way, I'm busy closing articles at the WP:AFD. I just closed one here. Cheers." Thanks for the advice.-- RyRy5 ( talk ) 03:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the clarification. Good luck. Camanda (talk) 03:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Um. It says "Twinkle does NOT work with Internet Explorer and support for IE is not planned at the moment." I use IE. I guess I won't be using twinkle. But I will keep in mind your advice. RyRy5 ( talk ) 03:55, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's too bad. If you ever switch to Firefox, give it a shot. Camanda (talk) 03:56, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I doubt I'll get it.-- RyRy5 ( talk ) 03:56, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
