Hey
How you been, Staxringold? It's been a while since we've talked. Man, you're doing good for yourself, with all those FL's and stuff, as said so on the WikiCup newsletter. Listen, the reason I write to you is cause I was just wondering whether or not you'd still be interested in getting the 30 Rock episodes of Season 3 to GA and stuff. If you are, that's great. If you can't, that's understandable. ;) -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  01:54, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I remember seeing you at GAN with the 2009 World Series article. I'm so sorry to hear that the article wasn't promoted to FA. I'd been there. You'll bounce back, I know it. :) Advice? IDK, about advice. I'm a "beginner", if you know what I mean. I would love it if you would collaborate with me on the episodes, mainly the Reception, cause that's not my "forté", I hope I'm using that right. Right now, I'm working on "Generalissimo", the only thing that needs is the Reception, and after that it's good to go. For future episodes, I can work on the Plot and Production, you know. I have the DVD, I know finally. There's a lot of good stuff. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  02:03, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * If the DVD has no info., then there's bound to be online sources available for those areas. Look to what I did in the Production section for "St. Valentine's Day". There's no commentary, but sources are. :) Yeah, that works fine. We can get "Generalissimo" first then move on to "The Ones" (DVD commentary), then to "The Bubble" (another commentary), etc. Basically, yeah, we move on like that. No, no *getting distracted by the handsomeness of Jon Hamm* Is there something I left out? -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  02:47, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think we can, cause some user went on to create almost every article. I was bummed about that, cause I really did want 30 Rock DYK?'s. Ah yes, Round 2, can't wait. ;) P.S. "Generalissimo" didn't have any commentary. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  02:54, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, the reception for "Generalissimo" is not even done. It got to hard on me. Like I said, getting the reviews is tough on me. In the last times that I've collaborated on an episode, I always got the Plot and Production sections. I saw what you wrote for the reception in "Season 4", and thought you'd do a fine job with that. ;) -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  03:08, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll give you the links to the reviews for "Generalissimo", so you don't stress yourself out; The A.V. Club, IGN, North by Northwestern, The Star-Ledger, Time. I think that should be enough. If not, I'll keep searching. Alright, go for it. I mean, we don't really need to do all the episodes the way we discussed, we can change ands stuff. ;) -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  15:23, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate it. It's cool, nothing to worry about, really. If you're busy, you're busy, it's REALLY understandable. When you get the free time, we'll further expand these 30 Rock articles. :) -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  17:33, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Question about DYKLIST tweaks
This edit you made to the WP:DYKLIST has an edit summary of "26", one I assumed meant that you just updated your own number to 26. However, you chopped off 251 bytes of information including Epipelagic and TitanOne, while adding Geronimo20. You also changed the totals of some editors, including striking five points from TonyTheTiger. Can you explain what you did? In the preceding six minutes you made four other edits, and another one two minutes later—were you working carefully on this page or was it a mistake made in the rush? Color me curious...

You were fully aware what my reasons were, but perhaps you forgot. I have spelled out the harassment again. Seriously, though, what were you thinking?

 * Nothing specific. Just thought we might be able to use another pair of eyes. I know you're active at the project talk and I know that you know about a lot of the recent consensuses (consenses?) that have been established there. It seems that Katydidit is still trying to make a point with the stat box and infobox regardless of the WT:MLB discussions from last year and this year.

 * No topic there, I wouldn't have the patience to turn the Whiz Kids into a topic, especially since the main article got all shot up in a peer review. I just want their roster to be complete, and obscure players seem to translate well into my style of writing since I'm so meticulous about statistics and such. And trust me, I understand that data entry stuff. I still haven't started the strikeout champs and the wins champs is sitting at FLC. Plus, data entry is a big part of my job too, so I get burned out on it pretty easily. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 23:57, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of Major League Baseball one-game playoff broadcasters
Why not have a list!? One-game playoff games are of course, a very rare and special occurance. The games themeselves, were always nationally televised unlike say, your typical no-hitter. It's a whole lot easier to just have it laid out there in simple detail than having to search high and low or examine more closely who exactly broadcasted the games themselves. And there is a list for one-game MLB playoffs: One-game_playoff. And to talk about "questionable notabilty", well this is Wikipedia afterall. And what's not to say that I know more about what I'm talking about than the other way around!? TMC1982 (talk) 03:41 p.m., 13 April 2010 (UTC)

The list of the broadcasters for the MLB one-game playoffs is at the very end of the section. It seems like you're insisting on that particular info having its own, individual article or every other pro sports one-game playoff having its own list of broadcasting info. TMC1982 (talk) 03:48 p.m., 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Having something like a list of parks that have hosted one-game playoffs in contrast is too broad and vague. TMC1982 (talk) 08:21 p.m., 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Again, you completely removed the lists despite me offering a compromise (since they're not entirely "cited")! First you don't an individual page, then you don't want an independent bracket in the same page. Whether you like it or not, there going to be on Wikipedia somewhere in some shape or form! TMC1982 (talk) 06:43 p.m., 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Whether you like it or not, the fact of the matter is that the one-game playoffs have for the most part, been broadcast somewhere. It would be a major disservice to readers on Wikipedia (which could and should always be improved upon, not torn down and completely discarded) by not sharing this additional information. I've proposed a "merge" since as a compromise (as I've previously alluded to). It's incredibly ignorant and short-sighted to think that there isn't some sort of curiosity behind this. If not, then what's the point of having various lists that's devoted to archiving sports broadcasters (comparing the games' temperature to this is totally apples and oranges). TMC1982 (talk) 06:57 p.m., 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Are you freaking serious! So if I'm a frequent editor on one particular article, that automatically means that it's of little value if it's not 100% cited!? Again, isn't the whole point of Wikipedia to help each other out information wise. It shouldn't have to be entirely dependent on only one editor or information donor.

Hey. Since you have been working on the tie-breaker games and I look to be working on the 48 one soon, would you like to see if we could make it a Good Topic?

 * Yeah, making a list of one game playoffs would work fine. There's enough of them to turn it into an FL without it being too daunting.

Just to let you know, I removed the proposed deletion tag for this article. One editor protested its deletion, and if anyone contests a prod (by removing the tag, or just openly saying they don't want it deleted) then the deletion is controversial and invalid.

Ever since the GAN nominations have been going down I don't want to be known as that person who nominates a ton of articles, you know. This is the best way of us working together for season three. ;) Hey, I know that "Do-Over" is yours, I don't want to take it from ya, but do you mind if I add info. for the production? -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  22:22, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Your signature
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I hacked your signature to make a sortable table cell work here (take a look at the crap I had to deal with in 1939). I knew that I was going to run across that situation sooner or later. Argh! KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 17:33, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * haxx0r indeed. It took me, like, 40 minutes just to figure it out. I'm pathetic. That said, I'm in no rush to get these done; I'm just waiting to the next round of progress to be completed on the GA I'm reviewing, and I got tired of writing them for a little bit. I'm very happy with the last one, though, as it's a crossover topic, and I don't get to write in a lot of areas outside baseball (mostly because I don't know anything but). KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 18:41, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Eesh, good luck with that. I'll stick with my 2010 Phillies season, thanks. Seems to be coming along pretty well. There's a lot less random participation than there was last year, so things are fleshing out the way I want them to. Once we hit summer I'll start cruising along on it pretty good. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 19:37, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I saw that on one of your talk pages (he's writing the GA I'm reviewing right now; I think it was at his talk). Sounds like a very interesting idea. Maybe in 10 years I'll have a Phillies seasons of the decade article. LOL. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 20:02, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That's actually a very intriguing possibility. I think maybe everything you mentioned, plus maybe 2009 MLB season...? I don't know if that's really an essential component. If the postseason proper was the topic, then we wouldn't need the regular seasons... I'm not sure. That's a really hard one to define. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 20:18, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Do you think I'm crazy, or...
So I'm thinking my next big FLC project, after finishing the Triple Crown, is going to be this. Am I totally insane? KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 18:16, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I couldn't be a Phillies fan without some stones, so I'm guessing that's gonna do it. I think the plan of attack is to do them letter by letter first, adding the "main articles" to the current all-time roster article, and then somehow convert that one into a summary list, which will be the biggest challenge. I might do them en-masse as a giant sandbox project (like 20 subpages) and then go for the biggest DYK hook ever (would 20 articles qualify for that?). KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 19:04, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh well, in that case, I'll be doing it as ONE subpage! KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 19:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If I made each letter a separate page, and a main article too... I could have 27... nope, never gonna happen. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 19:11, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

List of Phi Kappa Psi brothers FLC
Hello, Featured list candidates/List of Phi Kappa Psi brothers/archive1 was listed 20 days ago, and is now also listed as one of the "nominations urgently needing reviews." So far four reviewers have weighed in. All objections have been met. There are two votes of support, and none opposed. As per The Rambling Man, "typically, although not prescriptively, Dabomb or I will look for around four votes of support." He also suggested that I contact "regular reviewers" such as yourself to see if you would be willing to comment. I'm happy to address constructive criticism. Hopefully upon resolving critiques, if you believe that the list is worthy, you will also grant support. Thanks, NYCRuss   ☎  17:01, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Question
Hey, will you be expanding the Reception sections for "Do-Over" and "The Natural Order" or will I have to do that? -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  14:45, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, just wanted to know. Hey, if you have time, which you probably don't have, can you look over "Retreat to Move Forward"? I'm kinda having doubts on the article, and would appreciate a second opinion. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  18:58, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I will definitely add the Wikipedia bit, thanks for reminding me of that. Alright, I'm done with "Do-Over", and have nominated it, I hope you don't mind that I added your name to the nomination, if you do, then oops my bad. I just didn't feel right nominating it by myself, since you really did all the work, I just did tweaks here and there. After I add the Wikipedia bit, do you want to nominate "Retreat to Move Forward"? -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  16:27, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Update: I got the reception for "The Natural Order", go ahead and give it a look, and if it's good, nominate it. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  17:58, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I added the Wikipedia bit to "Retreat to Move Forward", so go ahead and get it over with. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  00:25, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. I'm doing my part with reviewing articles, but nothing happens. It doesn't matter really, we just need "Retreat to Move Forward", which I will nominate soon, "Apollo, Apollo", and "Kidney Now!", and we'll be done. :) Then it's off to season four. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  21:03, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, would you be willing to a copy-edit on "Kidney Now!" after I'm done adding info. to it? -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  22:43, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't care, I just want the article to read better from somebody else's perspective, and sure I can review that article, but it'll have to wait cause I got two articles I need to review first. Is that cool? -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  20:30, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Alrighty, then. I'm reviewing an article right now, after I'm done with it, I'll add a "under review" tag for your article. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  20:52, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Update: I'm done with "Kidney Now!", what do you think, is it alright or do I need to add more info.? Anyways, I have a question, would it be important to add that Grizz, in real-life, needed a kidney? And if so, should I mention it in the lead and what section should this go in? I'm having a bit of a problem with this, your help would be most appreciated. --  ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  22:32, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I did a read-through, and nominated the article. Well, after the episode aired Grizz announced he needed a transplant. If the show knew about this before hand, Fey or Jeff Richmond should have mentioned it in the commentary, which they didn't. The only thing they said was that Grizz was in need of a kidney. Oh, and I added the chicken and the baby bit, see if it makes sense or not. Oh, before I forget, here's hoping that "Do-Over", "Mamma Mia", "Retreat to Move Forward", "Cutbacks", and "Kidney Now!" are GA status, what image should we use for the GT? A picture of Fey or the 30 Rock building? -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  22:05, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * She might have been a big guest star, but she's not... 30 Rock related. I'll just see what happens. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  14:06, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * True, but let's just see how this plays out. There's a lot of work to do with season four; I'm starting backwards. I haven't forgotten about your article, it's just that I want to finish up "I Do Do" and get it over with. I'll get the review under way right now. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  20:22, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Congrats on 1999 passing. :) You're welcome for the review, like I said I didn't forget about it. I was thinking of doing Liz's, but there's too much activity going on over there. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  15:55, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey, would it be alright if I nominated "The Problem Solvers" after going through it and stuff? And if so, do you ming if I add your name to the nomination, after all you did get a DYK? out of it. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  16:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  22:57, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

THOTCON
Hello Stax,

I created a page for THOTCON for a few month ago and you deleted it. The event occurred on April 23rd. It was the first hacking conference ever held in Chicago. There were 250 attendees from around the world and 13 speakers. There were even a few main stream press articles and a numbers of blog reviews of event I can use as attributes. Can I create this page again?

Thanks,

Ok, so I'm done with the first letter. Would love to hear your input. Format hasn't changed any, but I wonder if this is going to be too long of a list when I'm finally done.

 * Question on this: I've just gotten to my first player who's currently with the team. I've taken care of that, but I don't want to be updating this list during the season all the time, so I am going to keep the stats "as of the end of the 2009 season". What should I put in the "Notes" column for players like Danys Baez who don't have a complete season of Phillies stats yet but still have tenure with the team? &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  17:05, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Another roster question: do you think I need to stub out all the redlinks before moving to mainspace and nominating for FL? Or should I just leave them for now? &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  15:25, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

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, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection 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.

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. Matthewedwards : Chat  21:02, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

To give myself a break from data entry after the endless project that was the Phillies' "B" roster, I'm examining and placing lead images in each of the articles. What I'm trying to do is find the player with the best image who had the biggest impact on the team; in essence, the "most notable". For some, it's quite difficult, as images just don't exist or they are fair-use. I've gotten to "K". The most notable player is definitely Chuck Klein, but his images are fair use. Tim Keefe is a Hall of Famer, but I hate the pictures of baseball cards, and he didn't really have a big impact on the Phillies anyway. To be honest, the best images that I could have for the lead are ones of Harry Kalas. He was never a player but had the largest impact in the "K"s out of anyone other than Klein. What do you think? &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  16:06, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If Kalas is on the roster, then sure. If not, he doesn't really belong. Staxringold talkcontribs 19:05, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * He's not. It's players only. That's why I'm having an ethical dilemma. There's really no player who's done anything worthy of that lead spot. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  19:57, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Your best bet's probably Grover Cleveland Alexander then. He wasn't a Phillie all that long though, but he has good PD images. I'm surprised there's no PD images of Klein, alas he played right in between the 1923 PD-US era and the 1942 Baseball Digest PD pics era. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 18:31, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Draft picks
The Blue Jays list was partially made at least so improving it wasn't too bad. I'll probably do the Yankees next since there's not much to fix on that one (just the lead and pics). I'll start filling in the redlinks after that. Once I got the hang of it it hasn't been too hard. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 18:31, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

"Removing horribly formatted references. I left a request for formatting for quite a while."
I've noticed that you've removed anything resembling a "reference" on the Major League Baseball tie-breaker game articles. You also the other day left messages to me practically "demanding"/"ordering" me (what, you can't do it yourself) to format them differently. It shouldn't solely be my job to do certain things on one particular type of Wikipedia article (I have other matters to take care of in the mean time). And just removing the references altogether isn't the way to go either. TMC1982 (talk) 05:03 p.m., 27 June 2010 (UTC)

I left it here a week ago, not "the other day". And no you are not solely responsible, but when you are the one adding the content yes you are at least partially responsible. I'm not going to take time out of my day to fix wildly messy references you add that add little to articles already recognized by he community to be of high quality.

What's the difference between "a week ago and the other day" (it's not like anybody said a month ago)!? And of course, I'm partially responsible, there's no denying that. But the bottom-line is that there's finally a cited reference that can verifying said information. And how exactly do these articles "add little" (they certainly added more than before), just because they're not yet formated in a better way!? And I find it funny that you complain about "not wanting to take time out of your day" when you're the one who is most demanding certain things be done in the first place! TMC1982 (talk) 05:15 p.m., 27 June 2010 (UTC)

And if you have "better things to do" than properly format your references, please don't just throw links onto a page and expect someone else to clean up your mess.

I'm not going to deal with the MLB tie-breaker articles anymore, because I'm getting increasingly sick and annoyed with having to comply and tow around to your wishes and strict demands (like you're my freaking boss or something)! To me, it seems like, you're the only one who's "worthy" enough to edit/format them. TMC1982 (talk) 05:22 p.m., 27 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 June newsletter
We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were (A),  (B, and the round's overall leader),  (C)  and  (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn, Fox and The ed17

30 Rock
Our goal... 30 Rock season three... to get our GT... has been accomplished, well it's done, but needs to be nominated. "Kidney Now!" was promoted, so we gots to nominate the topic to GTC. Now, I'm still oppose of adding an image of Hayek to the topic. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  19:53, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Congrats to you, too, you did your part. :) I picked the classic image of Fey, the one featured in the season four page. For season four we can use the one with her holding her SAG Award, since she won it for that season. Already did, and here's the link to the GTC. On July 8 the Emmy nominations are going to be announced, just letting you know. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  21:44, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, me too, thank God for E! News announcing when the nominations were going to be revealed. No, I don't mind with season four, figured that's your thing. If you need help, I'll be happy to lend a hand. :) Now, I gotta wait for the release of season 4's DVD, which should be in September, right? -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  22:20, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll be on the look out for that, then. Yeah, I congratulate those who've expanded on character articles, I like their work, I just don't see myself being included in that "list", though, I never saw myself in the "list" of expanding episodes. If you want, we can work on a character bio. in a sandbox, that way we can avoid any edit conflicts. Who do you want to work on? -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  23:43, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Spaceman would be easy to do, he's been well-received by critics and important thing to include, but what do we know about him, besides the fact that he's a doctor. How 'bout Kenneth or Jenna? I was going to work on Jenna, but I decided against it, but I'm having second thoughts. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  18:14, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Then it's settled. :) -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  18:25, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Editing the "List of NL Pennant winners page"
You stated in your message to me that just because the AA was a major league doesn't make AA pennants into NL pennants. I'm very aware of this. That fact was what I was trying to clarify through my edits to the page. The way that the facts were displayed before I edited them was misleading. The way that the page is worded simply states, both in the cumulative chart and the opening paragraphs, that the Los Angeles Dodgers have won 22 "pennants," that the St. Louis Cardinals have won 21 "pennants," and that the Cincinnati Reds have won 10 "pennants." No mention of the American Association is made anywhere on the page, thereby implying, by virtue of the fact that the title of the page is "List of NL Pennant winners," that the Dodgers have won 22 NL Pennants, the Cardinals 21 NL Pennants, and the Reds 10 NL Pennants, and that is incorrect. The Dodgers, Cardinals, and Reds have only won 21, 17, and 9 NL Pennants respectively; it even states this on their respective Wikipedia pages. For the facts to be correct on this page, either my edits about the American Association need to go back in, or the numbers in the opening paragraphs and cumulative chart need to be changed to 21, 17, and 9 (and their playoff appearances accordingly) for those three teams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaca6614 (talk • contribs) 21:26, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

That's a good question, I'm not sure myself. I presume that anyone on the 40-man roster would get a ring, and if that's the case they should be included. If there's a way to find out who does and doesn't get a ring I would go by that. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 18:39, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Signpost "Features and admins" column
The Signpost's "Features and admins" page now includes a "Choice of the week" for featured articles, featured lists and featured pictures. Each week, The Signpost invites a different delegate, reviewer or nominator from each process to select what they think is the best, or their favourite, item, and to give their reasons. These reasons can be technical (e.g., related to the Criteria) or subjective, or both.

Would you be willing to do this with featured lists for next week’s edition? If you agree, promotions from Monday 26 July to Saturday 31 July will be eligible (only six days this week because the publication deadline has come forward). They will be listed here by Saturday UTC, and we would need your text by Sunday UTC. Examples from previous weeks are accessible by clicking on "← PREVIOUS Features and admins" at the bottom.

2009 World Series
Hi. You do not own the 2009 World Series article. You refuse to compromise on whether media speculation about AJ Burnett's performance belongs in the article or not and you furthermore refuse to allow facts pointing the contrary to be posted in the article. You do no own this article. If you wish for a certain perspective to remain in the article than it's only reasonable that the opposing viewpoint when properly cited by fact, also be included —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjrover (talk • contribs) 20:24, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Nothing from the above even gets into the validity of the part of the article that is in question, but simply poor WP etiquette - falsely labeling edits you don't agree with as vandalism and a complete refusal to compromise on any point whatsoever. If you are so intent on the argument of Burnett's effectiveness on short rest remaining in the article than both perspectives must be included or the entire portion should be nixed. Thanks. Tjrover (talk) 20:29, 30 July 2010 (UTC)tjrover


 * Actually what that shows is a very small sample of data, which is quite meaningless. I actually don't care about the argument, what I do care about is adding pointy edits like "contrary to the facts" and putting unformatted citations into an already evaluated good article. I'd be perfectly happy to see that excellent source used "However, Burnett had pitched effectively on short rest up to this point, going X-Y with a Z.ZZ ERA" or whatever.[formatting ref] Staxringold talk <span style="position: relative; left: -16px; margin-right: -

 * you are more than welcome to edit and format that bit as you see fit, obviously - since this is a wiki after all. but continuously deleting the material is uncalled for. just because something may not be formatted properly does not make it 'vandalism'. you have a barnstar for this article which is great and your work is appreciated but that also does not mean you own this article and have final say over what can be included or not. the additions in question may be a 'small sample of data' but it's at least based on real metrics vice the speculation of one person in the media who the average baseball fan wouldn't even know.Tjrover (talk) 20:55, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
