Speedy deletion nomination of Jarrett Brown
A tag has been placed on Jarrett Brown, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Blueboy96 22:42, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If you want to dispute the deletion of this article do it the right way. Use  just after the   such as I had done for you (before you remove it and attracted more bad attention to the artilce). This says you disagree. Then explain why on the talk page. Just removing the db-repost from the article usually does not help keep the article, especially after someone has noticed you have removed it. If it does not meet the criteria, say why.

NFL infobox
Hey I was wondering if you were aware of the NFL infobox situation where Gary King keeps on changing the infobox. Apparently he had a discussion with one person which makes him think that it is ok to change it. I also believe that his so called "upgrade" is complete garabage and I hope you feel the same way. Thanks --Phbasketball6 (talk) 03:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * To me, the infobox upgrade looks fine and the code is massively easier to read.-- Giants27 ( c  |  s ) 12:58, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring on Chris Davis (baseball)
Per my message at the edit warring report here, both you and Ethelh need to stop reverting one another without discussion. No further edits should be made to the article until one of you starts a discussion at the article's talk page to work out a consensus over what to include; if you two can't agree with each other you can seek extra input at Third opinion or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball. Continuing to revert one another without trying to have a discussion, though, is unacceptable.

If either one of you starts reverting again without discussing things, the article could be protected, or either or both of you could be blocked. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 18:33, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. As I indicated before on this page at, which discussion you deleted without response and perhaps for that reason was missed by Rjanag the inline references are appropriate, support the text, and comport with Wikipedia guidelines.  I will discuss this in greater detail on the talk page to the article.--Ethelh (talk) 19:02, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

RE:infobox
I'm not sure, but I assume so. I don't really know what the change is to the baseball bio infobox that makes it resize like that, since it looks like it was adapted from the MLB infobox anyways. I can look around and see if I can change something to fix it, but I'm not great with infobox editing, are you? -- T orsodo g Talk 15:15, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, it looks like I was able to make the boxes the same exact size. Let me know what you think, and I guess we'll see if I pissed anyone else off with the change lol. Maybe they had a legitimate reason for making it smaller? And ya, stats are tricky. What I've been doing so far is if the player is retired, I use the stats for which they are more well known for (if they are equally well-known, I combine the stats from both leagues for "career stats". If they are active, I've just been using the stats for the league they are currently playing for. -- T orsodo g Talk 15:27, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Pete Rose
I read Rose's site, and think it needs some cleaning up. One item I felt needed cleaning up was the section of career accomplishments. It was always my understanding that random lists of that nature are supposed to be avoided, which is why I added them to the infobox.

I agree with your opinion that the infobox was a bit long and pointed that out in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball. You'll also note that I knew that you would behave like your usual pesky little gnat self. Call it foreshadowing.

In any case, I'd like to continue cleaning up Rose's site, but it becomes less and less possible if you continue acting like... well... you.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 20:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Would you mind joining the discussion abot this infobox at WT:MLB? I'd like to see if we could generate some consensus for abbreviating when we have a glut of positions. Thanks! KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 17:44, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm continuing my efforts to clean up Rose's entry; the section on the Phillies was terrible. I'm trying to work the significant cultural references into the article for now. I'm also looking to remove some of the redundant statements and streamline it a little. For one, I would like to combine the part about his "Charlie Hustle" nickname and Whitey Ford nicknaming him "Charlie Hustle." That seems a little redundant to me. Anyway, if you feel like working with me instead of against me, be my guest.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 12:41, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

MLB infobox
What do you mean, "consistant with other infoboxes"? I've never seen it used this way; I've always seen the other user infoboxes say Win-Loss, without the word "record".

Anyway, this doesn't make any sense to me, since we have an article for Win (baseball) and Loss (baseball). Why not link to both of them?  Ksy92003  ( talk ) 17:18, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

MLB awards
Hopefully as fellow Yankees fans we can stop this edit warring before we violate WP:3RR! :) I could perhaps understand the inclusion of the LCS awards (though they are significantly less notable than the WS MVP award), but the DHL award is just silly. It's a 3 year old duplicate of a much longer-existing award (the Rolaids Relief award) plus a monthly award (and things like Pitcher of the Month are explicitly not included for being a lower-level award). Regardless my original removal of those two awards was mentioned early on at Wikiproject Baseball in the discussion of an eventual Featured Topic. However, to focus discussion more closely on the topic I'll post a specific subsection on it right now. Staxringold talkcontribs 16:18, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Please stop unconstructive edit warring...
...and discuss on Talk:Pete Rose. This is not helping anybody. Don't wait for someone else to discuss; just do it. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 20:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 11:56, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Subject for debate
I added a comment to Rose's talk page that I think also needs to be debated. I've specified that Rose was a 17 time NL All-star, and you've changed that. I posted my reasoning and argument for that on his talk page. My sense of fair play dictates to me that I should point this out to you and allow for counter argument. I also think that you should read my reasoning for specifying and consider the validity of this argument.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 13:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Stearns
I know what I do and don't own in this world. Thanks for th eopinion, though. It seems like you are projecting your own personality traits upon me. I looked at your contributions; you get into edit wars constantly and seem to live only to do the silly little nonsense that you have been doing on Stearns' page. Why would you remove the fact that he set the stolen base record for catchers out of the highlights of his infobox? Topps thought it was significant enough to make a baseball card of it (#205, 1979). You're smarter than the people at Topps?

My thinking is that everyone has a career highlight. However small, there's got to be something that sticks out in this guy's mind as his fiest moment. Stearns played for Mets teams that sucked. I'm guessing that the day he was handed second base and congratulated for setting a record was one for him.

On a completely different note, I decided to research that Greg Minton point. I found where Rusty Staub hit a home run against him on May 9. I don't see one for Stearns. I have a feeling that is an error, but i need to get to work and don't have a chance to really go through the research. Wanna do something constructive...--Johnny Spasm (talk) 09:25, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I offered the opportunity to do something constructive. You didn't take it. Instead, you chose to make a ridiculous accusation against me. Typical.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 20:50, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Ownership problems?
My question is why do you feel the need to stalk me? You've never even met me, and you follow me more loyally than any girlfriend I've ever had.

Look at Keith Hernandez's article. You don't think it benefitted from my work? Likewise, Pete Rose, Catfish Hunter, John Stearns and all those other articles that I've worked on, and you can't seem to leave alone.

Do your own work. Find an article that you can add facts to and fix up. Leave me alone.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 03:27, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yankees10, this comment by you does not look like 'peaceful discussion'. If you can't come up with anything better, both you and Johnny Spasm may be blocked. EdJohnston (talk) 03:54, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * We drew the conclusion in the discussion on Pete Rose that baseball is a team sport, and World Series titles would come BEFORE All Star appearances. I'm the one going with a concession here, not you. Also, in my last edit on Keith Hernandez, you reverted the fact that he's written a third book. You just undid the edit without even reading it. That's unconstructive. I'd love to have a peaceful discussion with you, but it seems impossible.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 09:14, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Did you see the other source on the site, however? It also looks pretty legitimate. Also, the sources I've seen that call it a Mets game call it an 11-0 victory in which he hit three home runs. I've never seen one that calls it a Mets extra innings win before. I'm not comfortable changing it, however, I'm not sure the current game it is credited as being is correct either.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 01:47, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

1954
Regardless as to whether or not the {{by| prefix should be on every year in a player's article, it should be linked to his birth year. Gary Carter, for example, is listed among the {{by|1954}} births. This is why I put it there.

If you go to 1954 in baseball, you will see Gary Carter's birthdate. A better question is why would anyone REMOVE the link from his birth year if such a list is going to exist on "In baseball" pages?--Johnny Spasm (talk) 23:58, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

by|
Simply put, I don't agree with you. It's always been my understanding that the first time a subject that has its own article in Wikipedia is brought up, a link to that page is supposed to be included. That includes years in baseball.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 00:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

comment
Sorry ... was it the above comment where I was unclear? What I was trying to say there, quickly, is that I believe that Johnny's linking of the first instance of mention of every year in the body of an article is overlinking in the eyes of the baseball project people.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:11, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Ndamukong Suh
Can you articulate why you removed the Nebraska Football template from Ndamukong Suh, instead of simply undoing my change without comment? Suh is currently a player for Nebraska. Seems completely relevant to me. Fjbfour (talk) 16:18, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Because that template has no mention of him and has no point of being there.--Yankees10 16:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there a rule, policy or guideline that states that any time a template/navbox is placed, that the subject of the article where placed should have "a mention" of the subject in that navbox? I've reviewed WP:NAV and WP:CLN and have found no such restriction. Unless you have an alternative source of authority that makes it clear that it should be removed for some other reason than your view that it "has no point of being there", despite the clear association of a person with the team he currently plays for, I'll be putting it back later today. Thanks. Fjbfour (talk) 16:47, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I dont really care about it now as long as it doesnt stay when he gets drafted into the NFL, because that will just be dumb. Also can you have it be closed so it doesnt take up the whole bottom of the page, thanks.--Yankees10 16:49, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree completely, that after Suh is drafted, that the navbox should be removed from his article, and I also agree that the navbox is rather large. I have modified it so that it defaults closed at all times. Fjbfour (talk) 16:59, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Dextor Clinkscale
Now what was the problem with the changes i made?, they are according Wikipedia guidelines and with references, which the currently article doesn't have.

Jazz3111 (talk) 20:22, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok added the college and professional career headings as you suggested, i suppose you are going to keep the information this time around, correct? Jazz3111 (talk) 23:13, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * OK changed it to a paragraph form as much as i could, keep in mind there isn't a lot of information in the article Jazz3111 (talk) 23:47, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Why do you do this?
You NEVER learn. I took an article that I expanded and positively contributed toward. I like doing that with favorite Mets ballplayers from my youth. You, on the other hand, have nothing better to do than make senseless changes to what now is a pretty good article if I do say so myself. Do you do this to everyone or just me? Do you have nothing better to do? What is it with you? Why do you stalk me? I have ex-girlfriends I find less annoying than you.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 22:11, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

She still loves me
All sorts of uncivil responses popped in my head as a result of that last comment. Some of them are pretty funny, and I would just LOVE to write them. I won't though.

In all seriousness, you really do seem to follow me like a crazy stalking ex-girlfriend. It's amazing to me that no matter whose article I decide to re-edit and clean up, you've followed me to- sometimes within an hour. Did you even know who Willie Montañez was before I started working on his article?

Don't wanna be called an ex-girlfriend? Quit acting like one.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 15:31, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

 * I've proposed formal restrictions at WP:ANI.  Wknight94  talk  17:11, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * There was cold silence at that proposal. My take is that folks would prefer to simply block both of you for longer and longer times until you both stop.  You're going to have to restrict yourselves somehow.  One of you had better have a link to show consensus that backs up your POV on the various disagreements here.  If you don't have one, start a discussion at WT:BASEBALL.  Get other opinions because this stalemate of yelling at each other is going to get you both blocked every time - for incivility or whatever.   Wknight94  talk  11:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

He has more notability than that, it just hasn't been added to the article yet. I'm spending some time expanding it, then check it out to see if notability is established. He was first team all big-ten, which i'm pretty sure makes him notable. RF23 (talk) 22:15, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Minor leaguers
Please see WP:ATHLETE and WP:WPBB/N. Athlete states, "People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport," Minor league baseball is professional, the players get paid making it a profession. BB Notability states "the article must cite published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject," and they do. These are the guidelines I follow, do you have something that states the contrary? --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 08:12, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * (TPS) Past consensus says that minor leaguers are not notable enough for their own article and should be merged into the respect minor league page. (i.e. New York Yankees minor league players)-- Giants 27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 14:13, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If it was in fact "consensus" it would be in writing on the notability page. Your problem seems not with me but the guidelines, in the future leave me out of it and don't waste my time. You should bring it up here if you want some thing done. Good day. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 19:29, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It's obviously not. If it's consensus then why would it not be on the WP:WPBB/N page. I'm not going to listen to what you think notability is, but if the guidelines change I will follow them. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 00:22, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I have asked three separate editors and they can't find anything that says "minor leaguers are not notable enough for their own article," like you said. I'm going to believe WP:WPBB/N over you unless you prove there is a "consensus." --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:15, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Epeefleche and JRA WestyQld2 at the same time (he deleted the discussion so here is the old revision) and Muboshgu here who couldn't produce the "consensus" you spoke of. You say "it was agreed to at WP:Baseball a while ago" but WP:WPBB/N is WP:Baseball and it says "Minor league players, managers, coaches, executives, and umpires are not assumed to be inherently notable. To establish that one of these is notable, the article must cite published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." You're making up a consensus and I'm not buying it. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:28, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You could have done that without wasting my time! And when you say "A while ago the user:Gjr rodriguez created a bunch of minor league players" gives me no point of reference. The WP:WPBB/N page was updated in April of this year. If there was "consensus" it would have been changed. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:40, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Before we get in a revert war you (it appears by your screename) of all people should realize that indeed Munson being named as the first Yankee captain since Lou Gehrig was indeed a highlight of his career and worthy of note where indicated. The position had been left unfilled - the way Munson's locker subsquently has been - since Gehrig's departure from the team, the notion being that no-one but no-one could fill those shoes and that role the way Gehrig had. Obviously George Steinbrenner felt otherwise in naming the gritty Munson, unarguably the heart and soul of those '70s Yankee World Series champion teams, captain after a three decade-plus hiatus. It is no trival or passing honor with that franchise; is a rare award given and accepted with great gravity. Wikiuser100 (talk) 16:56, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

References/External links
On Danny Valencia, Deolis Guerra and just about every article I work on, the reason I put as a "Reference" and not an "Exterternal link" is because when I reworked these articles, I used those sites as references. I don't care enough to change it back, but in my opinion, if it is something I referenced it should be under references.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 09:46, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Read the above again and note the part where I say, "I don't care enough to change it back." Hence, your "Edit war" comment was unnecessary. I was just explaining how and why I do the things I do.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 23:10, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Why exactly? If there is one thing that is agreed upon, it's that undrafted practie squad guys are not notable.  Grsz 11  16:21, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Then where's the coverage?  Grsz 11  16:26, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * So, we're making up guidelines now? Actually, the Tennessee bio shows just one season after JUCO, but I'm not sure if that's right. He isn't on an NFL roster, he is on a practice squad.  Grsz 11  16:30, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Over here. Looks like there's significant coverage IMO.-- Giants 27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 16:29, 27 November 2009 (UTC)


 * You should be smart enough to know I meant active roster. It has been agreed in the past that practice squad players are not inherently notable and undrafted players with non-notable college careers should be deleted. Taking Chris' silly tricks won't help you, and it's pretty foolish to say I don't know anything given I have never said anything blatantly false. Now, I have stuff to do IRL. You kids have fun.

links in infobox
I very much disagree with you about the linking in Hideo Nomo's infobox. There is no reason everything needs to be linked. I've started a discussion here. -- T orsodo g Talk 20:35, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey Yank. I have a question about the college quarterback record for rushing touchdowns. I'm watching the Army Navy game and they said that 23 is the record shared by Chance Harridge, Ricky Dobbs, and Tim Tebow, but other sources say Harridge had 22. One recent news story seems to be the source for the discrepancy, but I thought you might be interested to see if you can sort it out. Do post season rushing TDs count? ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:07, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

AfD opinion
Can you go to Articles for deletion/Joe Bernard (American football) and give your input? I voted a strong keep since he was a head football coach at a D-IAA university, which entails notability. I'm not sure the nominator understands that, but whatever. Thanks in advance. Jrcla2 (talk) 02:25, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Just so you know, I have removed the Seattle Mariners category that you added because he hasn't played yet. If I were you, I'd wait till be makes an apperance during the regular season to add that category. – Michael (talk) 21:24, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Give me a link to a page that says that you can add an mlb team category immediatly after the player signs with that team. – Michael (talk) 21:46, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I have never heard this and I can't find anything about it. Dustin Ackley is under a MLB contract and doesn't have that cat because he hasn't played for them. See: WP:CRYSTAL. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 22:20, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

I see what you mean but I'm not sure that is what it is meant for. We both know it's not 2010, so how could a player have been playing with someone in the future? That is my main problem, it violates WP:CRYSTAL. Do you know of a past discussion? --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:01, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll do that. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:06, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Why did you prod Brandon Sharp?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:09, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe the current consensus is that if he was ever officially a member of a professional team, he is notable. I think this is well-established.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:17, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
