Giants roster
Do you have a source for your recent edits to the Giants roster.► Chris Nelson Holla! 21:18, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

October 2007
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from. Please be careful when editing pages and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary.

Why remove picture?
Why did you remove the picture from Kason Gabbard? —Wknight94 (talk) 02:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Madison Hedgecock
When a player was a regular season player for a team like Hedgecock was in St. Louis, we are only putting the regular season years, i.e. 2005-2006. Please undo your edit.► Chris Nelson Holla! 21:18, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

MLB player numbers
Please do not remove any numbers from the MLB roster templates: according to the policy WP:VERIFY, the goal is verifiability, not truth. There is nothing incorrect about an active roster player and inactive player sharing a number, since they both aren't active. If one got sent down and the other called up, he could feasibly keep his number. The point is, if it's on MLB.com then it's verifiable, and that's all that's necessary.► Chris Nelson Holla! 04:02, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Jonathan Palmer
Stop removing Tackle from his position. He has experience at both and can play both, so even if he's going to work primarily at guard for the Giants (which you don't know) he still IS a guard and tackle as far as the encyclopedia is concerned.► Chris Nelson Holla! 03:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Reserve lists
Please stop removing Active/ from the reserve lists at this point. There is a distinction between Active/PUP (or NF-Inj. or NF-Ill.) and Reserve/PUP. Players can be on either list at this point; for example, Johnny Baldwin of the Chiefs has already been placed on the Reserve/PUP, meaning he is not eligible to return until at least Week 7. But guys like Baker, Trusnik, etc., have only been placed on the Active/PUP, which generally is because of an inability to practice due to a failed conditioning test or offseason injury. Active/PUP players still count against the 80-man limit, but the list expires at the beginning of the regular season.  Pats 1  T / C  16:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * And the latter can be activated at any time, as I recall.► Chris Nelson Holla! 16:57, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Please read them. Please use them yourself. This is how basic communication happens; if you read my edit summaries (in the "history" section of the template or article), then you'd know the answer to your question.  Pats 1  T / C  13:22, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for starting to use them, but also remember to check the article edit history to see others' (i.e. my) edit summaries for important information.  Pats 1  T / C  01:00, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

MLB roster templates
Your edits to some of these templates violate WP:VERIFY. Please do not continue to undo the edits of others that follow this policy.► Chris Nelson Holla! 05:23, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Geoff Pope
Pope goes by Geoff, it's only Geoffrey on the roster because he's an unknown and they added him under his full name. If he ever becomes well-known he'll be Geoff.► Chris Nelson Holla! 17:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Please use edit summaries with player names when editing team rosters. As in "G Andrew Bain waived." We want names of all players involved in edits in the edit summaries.► Chris Nelson Holla! 18:20, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Bujnoch/Thorpe
Bujnoch was just waived/injured yesterday, so once he clears waivers today he can go to IR, but please not yet. As far as Thorpe goes, he was released from the IR with an injury settlement on August 28. Please do not consider Giants.com to be the gospel of rosters.  Pats 1  T / C  12:13, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Please always use edit summaries on the roster templates so we don't have to look at diffs to see what you've done.► Chris Nelson Holla! 21:49, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Tyree
Please read my edit summary regarding his status. Do not ignore it again.  Pats 1  T / C  01:19, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your help here. I think every article has his weight different these days. I think your's matches giants.com so good call. Go Big Blue! StarM 20:40, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Replace this image male.svg
Please do not make edits like this instead remove that image as it's use on football articles is being drastically reduced since it's practically useless.-- Giants27 (  t  |  c  |  r  |  s  ) 21:04, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Texas Rangers
Thank you very much. I get my information from a variety of sources and the shop is one of the major ones. It is now fixed.--The Silent Wind of Doom (talk) 04:49, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Minor league player pages
Here is the discussion where the minor league player articles were first created Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball/Archive 7. They were created with the express purpose of being a place to write mini-articles of minor league players. They are not for just the rosters. This process is the result of a longterm discussion at the baseball project. If you want to change things, bring it up there. Spanneraol (talk) 00:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with Span.--Ethelh (talk) 17:02, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Ian Kinsler / Triple Crown stats
I noticed your comment to Ethelh on this page, and I thought you should know that the ability to list more than 3 stats in the infobox is a fairly new addition, coming just a few months ago, and no consensus has really been established on what, if anything, should go in positions 4 through 6. In other words, don't hold the fact that the rest of us have been too lazy to add them to other pages against her for adding them to Ian Kinsler :).

I do fully support your removal of the big stat block from the body of the page, however - WP:NOT and all that. -Dewelar (talk) 16:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The stat block exists on a number of the highest-rated current baseball player pages such as Luis Castillo (baseball), Mariano Rivera, Chris Young (pitcher) and Tim Lincecum (as well as the FA page for the former pitcher J. R. Richard and the GA page for Jackie Robinson and is therefore I feel appropriate. If you were to delete the stats boxes from those FA and GA pages, I would imagine opposition would be voiced. The above-cited standard is subjective ("Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles..... In cases where this may be necessary, .... consider using tables to enhance the readability of lengthy data lists") and I feel these stats fit within it. If at the baseball page the community were to decide that it is not permissible, even under the standard cited, I would defer to that, but that has not happened to my knowledge. Interestingly, I've never been the first to insert those stat boxes on a baseball player page. I do, however, find them to be helpful and not overly long/sprawling/confusing.


 * Dew -- thanks for your comment on the infobox.


 * The city-state template was demanded in a recent GA Ian Kinsler review, and I see no reason to delete it.


 * While I too am a fan of uniformity, there is no requirement that making a proper edit foists upon the editor a responsiblity to make that edit to all similar pages.--Ethelh (talk) 19:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
