300 SB list
Hi. I see that you have been adding a lot of refs to List of Major League Baseball players with 300 career stolen bases. At this point you are mostly done, but it seem like it would have been acceptable to use a WP:GENREF (and easier). At any rate, if you were planning to take this to FL, a major issue from the last try was the seemingly arbitrary threshold of 300. I assume you are prepared to establish that 300 is indeed notable?—Bagumba (talk) 02:25, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, I am indeed trying to get this up to FL. I'm going to continue to add the refs. Although WP:GENREF would cover it if it were just the numbers, I also intend to add in the years they were active (which would back up the idea that most leaders were from late 1800's-early 1900's due to the dead-ball era), which would require individual refs. In terms of the 300 threshold, I am actually able to back up the fact that 300 is not just a random arbitrary cutoff, rather it's a notable feat. In the source I have for Rajai Davis meeting the feat, the title explicitly notes the fact that it was not only his 32nd stolen base of the season, but the 300th of his career. This is also found in other sources (such as when Michael Bourn met the same threshold just months before). If 300 were just some random arbitrary cutoff, then I don't think that 300 stolen bases would be noted by the media. I can easily see why it could be construed as just some arbitrary cutoff at first sight, but the fact that media recognizes 300 SB indicates otherwise. Good to hear from you again. If you have any other concerns regarding this, let me know. <font color="Blue">Sports <font color="Orange">guy17  (<font color="Blue">T • <font color="Orange">C ) 03:44, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not as clear cut as some of the other stats "clubs". As long as you know what you are getting into, good luck.—Bagumba (talk) 03:58, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it is not particularly clear cut, albeit some MLB stats lists that are already FL's have semi-arbitrary cutoffs (such as 100 triples). However, most of them are a lot more prominent stats clubs, so I'll gladly take your luck and we'll see what happens come nomination time. <font color="Blue">Sports <font color="Orange">guy17  (<font color="Blue">T • <font color="Orange">C ) 04:02, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 March newsletter
That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge,  led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.

In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:
 * took Bumblebee, a level-4 vital article, to Good Article;
 * worked-up the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 article, also to Good Article status;
 * developed an extremely timely article to Good Article, taking Magna Carta there some 800 years after it was first sealed;
 * And last but not least, worked up a number of Featured Pictures during round 1, including the 1948 one Deutsche Mark (pictured right), receiving the maximum bonus due to the number of Wikis that the related article appears in.

You may also wish to know that The Core Contest is running through the month of March. Head there for further details - they even have actual prizes!

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews.

WikiCup 2015 May newsletter
The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus. Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
 * was one of several users who worked on improving Ulysses S. Grant. Remember, you do not need to work on an article on your own - as long as each person has completed significant work on the article during 2015, multiple competitors can claim the same article.
 * took Dragonfly to Good Article for a 3x bonus - and if that wasn't enough, they also took Damselfly there as well for a 2x bonus.
 * worked up Alexander Hamilton to Good Article for the maximum bonus. Hamilton was one of the founding fathers of the United States and is a level 4 vital article.

The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! , and  16:46, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sportsguy. A while back we collaborated on an article on Whitepages (company), where I had a disclosed COI. You initially quick-failed it saying that the COI disclosure leads you to presume it was promotion, but then passed it once you read the article. You also indicated that, like most editors, you have had some prior experiences with covert paid editors that weren't fun.

I'm helping the Signpost with an article that collects opinions about paid editing from the Wikipedia community in short two-paragraph excerpts. Each excerpt answers two questions with one paragraph devoted to each. One is what you believe is the overall impact paid editing has on the project and the second is what can be done to improve how Wikipedia handles paid editing.

I was wondering if you had the time/interest in participating by adding your own two paragraphs here

 * Hi, thanks for letting me know abot this. I've added my bit to it and you can tell me what you think of it. If it doesn't fully answer the questions and/or isn't relevant, let me know and I can revise it. Again, thanks for the great opportunity and if you ever need me to review a GA nomination, let me know.

 * Thanks Sports. As a correction of sorts, I think you reviewed one GA of mine? The text makes it sound like there were several. I would make it a bit more general, but it's up to you.


 * As far as other GANs, etc. I could keep you busy all day! There's a list under "GA Review pending" here, as well as some articles I'm trying to prep for GA here and here to name a couple. If you feel like taking on one or two (or more), feel free to dig in! CorporateM (Talk) 02:48, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

DYK nomination for Manny Ramirez
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Manny Ramirez at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!


 * Hi Sportsguy, I recently reviewed your DYK nomination for Manny's article. I think the hook you suggested has a good chance of passing, but you should remove the word "immature" in the hook (per WP:BLP) -- the characterization of Ramirez's behavior as "immature" is not supported by the article or the sources you cite in the article. In all other respects, it is a well written article. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 04:36, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

"The Gentlemen"
I've been pouring over the LHS Choral department website, and I've yet to find any reference to "The Gentlemen". Unless you can provide some reference to said group, I'd suggest you stop reverting the page to your version. Some students from the school have informed me that such a group was in development, but never actually sanctioned by the school, or may be in the future. However, to abide by the guidelines of no original research, I maintain the page should be kept in its current state. I'd welcome your reasoning behind these changes. LHefferman (talk) 03:42, 16 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I will eschew any reverting for now, at least until I can locate the url again, albeit I know I'm correct. That said, I will wait for the purpose of verifiability until said url is located.

Logan Airport Info
Hello,

The information for Logan International Traffic is correct for 2014. You have to get the data from a spreadsheet generated at the link cited and do the math.

Boston-Toronto Pearson went down 40% because Delta pulled out of the market. It will go up about 10-15% even more when West Jet starts in 2016.

Adam 98.217.61.30 (talk) 20:31, 22 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Even if the given statistics were true, said statistics would have to be proven via a source, per WP:VERIFY, and I could only find numbers for BOS-LHR and nothing else. Otherwise, we are adding original research to the article, which is not allowed (obviously). <font color="Blue">Sports <font color="Orange">guy17  (<font color="Blue">T • <font color="Orange">C ) 00:14, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Fair Enough - I would delete the old data that is there as well since the same applies. The only market that makes the report in print is BOS-LHR. 12.216.194.200 (talk) 16:26, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
