This is my talk page. If you want to talk to me, post here. I will also respond to you here.

Why are you merging the Wittleman page on the Texas Rangers minor league players page. Ositadinma (talk) 00:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Because Wittleman is not notable enough to have his own article.. the minor league players pages are for bios of minor leaguers who shouldn't have their own articles yet. See New York Yankees minor league players as an example. Spanneraol (talk) 00:30, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
You don't decide weather or not a minor league player is deserving of a wiki article. If there is already a wiki page, then leave it alone. There are plenty off other idiots that have wiki pages, so I don't see the reason to merge his perfectly good article onto a Texas Rangers minor league players page which has only roster templates on it to see all of the players in the organization and what team they are on. Ositadinma (talk) 00:39, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
The baseball projects notability guidelines decide that. I can take the article to afd if you prefer... I just sent you a note on your page about the purpose of these pages. Spanneraol (talk) 00:43, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

MLB infobox

I take it there was some sort of discussion about infoboxes that I was unaware of, and a concensus was made that we would use the infobox of the major league affiliate for minor leaguers.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 12:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, their was a discussion awhile back on the baseball project talk page that the info box should reflect the MLB team the players belong to and that minor league teams shouldn't be mentioned. You can bring it up again if you disagree. Spanneraol (talk) 14:44, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
It doesn't matter to me either way. If that's the way Misplaced Pages wants it done, that's fine with me. I was just making sure.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 00:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Miracle All stars

I don't know how to do something, and was hoping you could help. I posted a list of the team's All-stars on the Miracle's entry I don't want it to have a bunch of numbers like it does here; I want it to be: 1) Injured & did not play 2) FSL All-Star game MVP 3) MLB All-Star 4)Promoted & did not play. I don't know how to do that

--Johnny Spasm (talk) 20:45, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

My idea would be to use symbols with a legend at the top or bottom of the section explaining what they are for... for example you'd have a player's name with a * after it and then somewhere say *=FSL All-Star MVP.. and then #=promoted and did not play.. does that seem like it might work?
  • 1994 - Gus Gandarillas, Andrew Kontorinis *, Matt Lawton ^, Scott Moten, Chad Roper #

or

  • 1994 - Gus Gandarillas, Andrew Kontorinis (*), Matt Lawton (^), Scott Moten, Chad Roper {#)

--Spanneraol (talk) 20:58, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I could probably do that. I just thought there was a way to do it in code and have them redirect all to the same number. I thought I did it right until I looked at the site. I'm gonna tour Misplaced Pages a little and see if I can find where anyone did what I was trying to do, and see if I can figure out how. If not, I'll do like you suggested.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 23:44, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
I'm sure there is.. but I'm not all that great with the code stuff.. just find a page you like and "steal" it. Spanneraol (talk) 23:53, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Chris Parmelee

I think that Chris Parmelee's article was deleted was BS. If you look at the article's history, apparently some sort of concensus was reached back in March or something like that. It was, however, never followed through on. The season then started, he was named a FSL league All Star. Add that to the fact that he was a #1 pick, and he's since become notable if he wasn't before.

A new banner was added just before the All Star game, then immediately removed. It was my impression at that point that the nomination for deletion was reconsidered. Instead, the deletion concensus from 3 months earlier was finally being enforced. That makes no sense.

He was also the All star game's home run derby winner and the FSL's player of the week the week following the All star game.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 09:14, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Johnny, he is still in Class A.... those FSL All-Star appearances aren't good enough.. his article still exists, it's just been moved to the minor league players page... You should just use that page.. you can create mini-articles about all your Miracle players there without having to worry about them being deleted. It will save you alot of headaches. --Spanneraol (talk) 14:30, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

WP:NFCC and File:NLW-LAD-Logo.png

WP:NFCC #10c specifically requires that a separate, specific fair use rationale for each use of the copyrighted image in question. That does not exist for File:NLW-LAD-Logo.png and Arizona League Dodgers. I'm not particularly interested in your evaluation of me not using my head and being a knucklehead . I am interested in our image use abiding by policy, which this use does not. Either come up with a fair use rationale for this image use and add it to the image's description page, or stop adding it to Arizona League Dodgers. Either of those actions is compliant with policy. Insisting on adding it in violation of WP:NFCC #10c obviously isn't. --Knucklehead (talk) 14:58, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
