[edit] You are doing a good job
You are doing a good job. You really understand the concept of wiki and should not let trolls and vandals get you down. I support you 100%. Belly Flop Patrol 09:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- TV Newser is part of the CFIF/Splash cabal that sees socks everywhere. They think I am a sock and will claim that me defending Tecmobowl is more evidence that I am a sock and he is a sock. I am not a sock, he is not a sock and he as only made good edits and really understands the concept of wiki. TV Newser, CFIF, and Splash should all be banned forever!

- Thanks for the support! I agree, onward and upward!!! --Tecmobowl 09:50, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] user:TV Newser
I've blocked this user for 24 hours for harassment. There's simply no reason to add a prod tag, which clearly states it can be removed "for any reason", and then call it "vandalism" when someone does. Thus, the vandalism warnings you received were also out of line, and you were justified to remove them. Since this user has still not made it clear why he considers you a sock of a previously permablocked user, and since you have never come near any article the blocked user has edited, the allegations appear baseless. I would advise you to try to tread carefully when dealing with this user, as there's no need to inflame the situation further. Best, Firsfron of Ronchester 09:52, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your help with this situation. I really don't mind if people want to give me legitimate warnings, but I still don't think I have done anything to warrant one yet. I have read your comments on my Talk page and thank you for your help. If you have any advice as to how I can quickly and easily deal with these types of incidents (other than what I am doing), it would be appreciated. Thanks for your time. --Tecmobowl 09:56, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

- You've opened a Mediation case, you've reported the incidents to WP:AN/I... That's all you can really do. Try not to refer to a user's contributions as "vandalism" as you did here and that may also help. Remember you can almost always de-escalate a situation by using a calm tone. Probably won't work for someone who thinks you're a sock, though. It may also help to not have inflammatory comments from a user calling for the banning of a well-respected admin (see above). Anyway, happy editing! Firsfron of Ronchester 10:09, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, i have taken on your case at the Mediation Cabal. If you have have any issues please contact me on my talk page. This is my first mediation case. Jeffklib 08:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:HankAaron.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:HankAaron.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Talk page headers
Thanks for editing the talk page headers at Talk:Babe Ruth - it's hard for us to keep up with articles getting delisted as GAs, so I appreciated you re-grading it as a B. Could I request, though, that you leave the headers on the page? Those headers will remain there whatever the article quality - Babe Ruth will remain a core biography even if it's a stub! For Version 0.5, we have the option of using an older version if the quality goes REALLY downhill. Thanks! Walkerma 15:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hank Aaron tag
Hi, I started a discussion section at Talk:Hank Aaron#Primarysources tag involving your {{primarysources}} tag. See you there. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rookie Card picture
What do you mean there's no need to have Babe Ruth's rookie card on Babe Ruth's page? MikeBriggs 13:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jackie Robinson article cleanup
Thank you for your efforts in cleaning up this article. I'm semi-new to Wikipedia and not well versed in it's policies and procedures. But, wow, did I learn a lot by simply reviewing your edits! Once again, thank you. robertjohnsonrj 15:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jackie Robinson article: His first encounter with a MLB team, the Chicago White Sox
Reguarding this, do you feel that the removed statement reguarding his 1st encounter with the White Sox and with Luke Appling to be noteworthy enough for reinstatement into this article? Comment appreciated. robertjohnsonrj 16:42, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jackie Robinson
Thanks again. The source does not say that it was his first time, I realized. robertjohnsonrj 14:30, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trouble Brewing????
Just thought you should be aware of Tecmobowls. You will notice he/she has suddenly appeared and is only contributing on pages i have recently edited. Nothing outrageous or in violation of "wiki" has happened, but this might be another example of TV Newser trying to pick a fight. Any thoughts?Tecmobowl 20:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- He's banned now. The violation of wiki is being an imposter of another user, in this case you. BTW, TV Newser is simply a sock of Spotteddogsdotorg which is one of the larger sock rings going around. I've blocked over a dozen of them and Splash has blocked far more in over a year. If you refer to Spotteddogsdotorg, many will know who you're referring to. —Wknight94 (talk) 00:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jackie Robinson article (concerning POV & weasle words)
I'm not sure what to do to fix these problems. The confrontational elements that I've added to the article are from, I believe, reliable and neutral sources. I could be wrong about that, of course. Do you have any further suggestions to correct these problems? Thanks for your comments. robertjohnsonrj 04:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jake Daubert
Just a suggestion...
Edit summary comments like "you are now being reported for the violation of the 3rv rule. I'm not taunting you, i'm getting sick of dealing with you." can be considered incivil or a light personal attack. I'd advise making comments towards the changes/edits and not the individual. --Madchester 04:04, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More hints
A couple hints after glancing over your user page. You can link correctly to a category by prefixing with a colon, [[:Category:Baseball cards]] → Category:Baseball cards (the same goes for templates and images). Another useful template to add is {{fact}} which tags a specific sentence as needing a reference. I prefer to use the {{unreferenced}} tag only when there are zero references in the entire article. Enjoy. :) —Wknight94 (talk) 13:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Template editing help
I was thinking that some adjustments could be made to the {{MLB HoF}}, {{Infobox Cooperstown}}, and the {{Infobox baseball player}} templates, but I don't know what the process for suggesting changes to templates is. Ithink the cooperstown box is somewhat unnecessary on pages where the baseball player box has been used. I think the MLB HoF box could be used a lot more, but think it lacks one piece of important information: induction year. Perhaps changing the display text to be: Player Name, inducted in YEAR, is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. What do you think and how do i go about asking for others for their input? I'd be happy to move this discussion to my talk page or some other page where it would be more appropriate. //Tecmobowl 14:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- I honestly hadn't looked too hard at those. I see {{Infobox baseball player}} already has an "inductiondate" parameter so I'm not sure why {{Infobox Cooperstown}} even exists. I've never been impressed with {{MLB HoF}}. As far as where to start a discussion, I'd think the best option would be Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball. Unfortunately, it's questionable how many people have that on their watchlists (it was dormant for so long that I took it off my watchlist for quite a while). The best way to ensure a lot of participation for baseball discussion is probably to leave a short note on individual users' talk pages directing them to where the actual discussion will be. You could also leave a note on the templates' talk pages. —Wknight94 (talk) 14:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
HI: I don't have any experience with the templates, as I haven't used them in any articles. So...I don't feel I can really weigh in with any opinions on the subject. Thanks for asking, though. It looks like an interesting discussion, and I wish you luck in achieving any change(s) you hope to get made. BurmaShaver 02:20, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Question about CardPricer.com Image Library
Thanks for adding a link to the Resources section on Wikiprojects:Baseball Players. The question I had about CardPricer.com's image library is if there is a way to view the image without the cardpricer.com watermark placed on top. If there's not, I'm not sure there is much use in using any of them for an article. - Mattingly23 02:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dutch Ruether...
...another nice article. Great job! —Wknight94 (talk) 14:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
