The article Daryl Jones (baseball) has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
I think you posted on my talk page at the same time I posted my DYK nom, but thanks for the offer! Cheers! Canadian Paul —Preceding undated comment added 11:21, 8 March 2012.
Hi! Thanks for fixing the Croatian Littoral DYK hook. However, I revised the hook once again, because it appeared to me that you missed the point of the hook itself - I added a comment to the nomination page explaining illogical nature of use of the term for two different and overlapping regions, making IMO the hook interesting. Could you please have another look at it to see if there's a better phrasing that could be used there?--Tomobe03 (talk) 21:57, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Round 2 of this year's WikiCup is over, and so we are down to our final 32, in what could be called our quarter-finals. The two highest scorers from each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers overall, have entered round 3, while 30 participants have been eliminated. Pool B's 
Grapple X (submissions) remains our top scorer with over 700 points; he continues to gain high numbers of points for his good articles on The X-Files, but also Millennium and other subjects. He has also gained points for a good topic, a featured list, multiple good article reviews and several did you knows. Pool E's 
Casliber (submissions) was second, thanks primarily to his biology articles, with Pool H's 
Muboshgu (submissions) coming in third, with an impressive 46 did you knows, mostly on the subject of baseball. Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both scored over 600 points. Pools E and H proved our most successful, with each seeing 5 members qualify for round 3, while Pools C and D were the least, with each seeing only 3 reach round 3. However, it was Pool G which saw the lowest scoring, with a little under 400 points combined; Pool H, the highest scoring group, saw over triple that score.
65 points was the lowest qualifying score for round 3; significantly higher than the 11 required to enter round 2, and also higher than the 41 required to reach round 3 last year. However, in 2010, 100 points were needed to secure a place in round 3. 16 will progress to round 4. In round 3, 150 points was the 16th highest score, though, statistically, people tend to up their game a little in later rounds. Last year, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 points were needed. Guessing how many points will be required is not easy. We still have not seen any featured portals or topics this year, but, on the subject of less common content types, a small correction needs to be made to the previous newsletter: File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg, our first featured picture, was the work of both 
Matthewedwards (submissions) and 
Grandiose (submissions), the latter of whom has also gone on to score with File:Map of the Battle of Guam, 1944.svg. Bonus points also continue to roll in; this round, 
Ealdgyth (submissions) earned triple points for her good articles on William the Conqueror and the Middle Ages, Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both earned triple points for their work on Western Jackdaw, now a good article, 
Dana Boomer (submissions) earned triple points for her work on lettuce and work by 
Stone (submissions) to ready antimony for good article status earned him triple points. Jarry1250 (submissions) managed to expand Vitus Bering far enough for a did you know, which was also worth triple points. All of these highly important topics featured on 50 or more Wikipedias at the start of the year.
An article on the WikiCup in the Wikimedia Blog, "Improving Wikipedia with friendly competition", was posted at the end of April. This may be of interest to those who are signed up to this newsletter, as well as serving as another way to draw attention to our project. Also, we would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and Stone (submissions), for continued help behind the scenes. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

There are no true Stubs near the top of the Baseball Mountain that you have catalogued.
I don't often visit WP talk: Baseball but today is one of the exceptions. Your project caught my eye there; so did the bright red "Stub" classifications for some biographies whose progress you are tracking. Just now I visited all (if i clerk correctly) seven Hall of Fame member and three Most Valuable Player biographies in that grade and I daresay every one is a true Start. Even Vern Law Frank McCormick with no References [and meagre content].

I see that the outcome of the second AfD is no consensus, and the article remains. I just wanted to say that you made some very valid points and it was a productive conversation both times (even though I recognize you didn't nominate it the second time). I would have accepted either outcome. Since the article hasn't been deleted I will do my best to improve it based upon the suggestions made. However, I also sincerely hope you will take a look at the other rivalry articles that were mentioned with the same critical eye. Many of them are in desperate need of improvement, if not perhaps their own AfD nomination (though that is perhaps the most drastic measure). TempDog123 (talk) 07:46, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Muboshgu, just as a friendly heads up, whenever there is a college athlete who is categorized in that school's athletic category (baseball player, basketball player, football player, etc.) there is no reason to also include his parent alumni category. When I added Category:Gardner–Webb Runnin' Bulldogs baseball playerstoBlake Lalli, for example, that GW baseball player category is already a subcategory of the overall school alumni category, which I saw you added. Per WP:CAT, only the lowest applicable categories get included in articles.

We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is 
Cwmhiraeth (submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, Grapple X (submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall. 
Miyagawa (submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by Casliber (submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.
This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, Muboshgu (submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, 1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Good Morning!
I took Andy Pettitte off the roster, but you may want to comb through it and see if it's up to date. It really hadn't been edited since May 6, and my AAA knowledge isn't what it usually is this year, yet. I was too involved in watching the Rangers almost get to the Cup Finals, so baseball had taken a back seat for a bit haha. Kjscotte34 (talk) 11:08, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
OK, rather than engage in dueling reverts, let me explain what my thinking was; u can do the same, &, hopefully we can reach some kind of consensus; I did an awful lot of work on RC over the first 8 or 9 years of this century, & it really grieves me 2C so many easily correctible inaccuracies on the record.
1st of all, As 4 the Baseball Career section, there r no real errors per se, but it is extremely sketchy. If anything, I probably should've done MORE (e.g. give at least general time frames 4 both contracts, 2 say nothing of at least mentioning the joint Dodgers/Crabbers clinic/tryout where both Campanis & Zorilla 1st saw RC in the summer of '52). As 4 what I DID do, it just seems kind of silly NOT 2 mention the extensively documented Joe Black scouting angle if you're gonna bring him up in the first place. And then, out of the blue, 2 just give 1954 for Sukeforth seems needlessly vague & somewhat misleading; leading one who doesn't know better 2 at least wonder if RC hadn't been wasting away in Montreal 4 a couple of years B4 Sukeforth finally showed up (whereas, in fact, it was more like 2 months).
As 4 the 2 sections, Pittsburgh Pirates & The 1960s, here I was simply correcting obvious & egregious errors (in most cases, assertions that aren't even supported by their own sources).
1) "During the middle of the season, Clemente was involved in a car accident" [emphasis added]
Am I missing something? Even the source that supposedly supports this utterly inaccurate statement ("During the winter, a drunken driver had rammed into his car at sixty miles per hour." [emphasis added]) in fact contradicts its chronology entirely.
2)『With the American League ahead 4–3 in the tenth inning, Clemente hit a double that gave the National League a decisive 5–4 win.』[emphasis added]
While the AL undeniably had a 4-3 lead going into the inning, & RC certainly did get the game-winning hit, it was FOUR-FOUR by the time he got 2 the plate, & the hit he got was a single. Again, check your own source: "Then he brought his bat around and smashed a line drive to right field. As Roberto raced for first, Willie Mays rounded third and headed for home. The National League had won by a score of 5-4!" Even if this had been a line drive off the top of the CF fence (which this obviously was NOT; tho, as I pointed out, pre-your revert, RC did hit a couple of blasts of that magnitude in this game), it still would've just counted as a single. In fact, ironically, the only double in that inning was the one hit by Mays to make it 4-4 B4 RC ever got 2 the plate.
3) "This condition limited his role with the Pirates in the first half of the 1965 season, during which he batted an average of .257. He was inactive for several games during this stage of the campaign before being fully active; when he returned to the starting lineup, he hit in thirty-three out of thirty-four games and his average improved to .340."
OK, I've gotta take this one sentence at a time. At the halfway point of the '65 season (i.e. after 81 games), which btw, came exactly THREE games B4 the end of that much-ballyhooed 34-game stretch, Clemente was batting not .257, but .334. As Casey Stengel liked 2 say, u can look it up (perhaps in the batting log u deleted). The last time during the '65 season that RC finished a game at .257 was after game #31 (of which, btw, the supposedly 'limited' RC missed exactly 3) - i.e. less than a FIFTH of the way thru the season. Moreover, as I already pointed out, three games later, RC actually would hit bottom, with a .235 average. It was from THAT point that the dramatic & decisive 16-game stretch began, delivering Clemente from an unheard-of .235 2 a much more familiar neighborhood, 91 points north of there, & just 3 points below the .329 mark at which he'd finish the season - & lead the league. (In fact, from that point forward, he'd never dip lower than .319.) Obviously, THAT was the turning point of RC's season, those 91 points in 16 games being considerably more crucial than the 34-game stretch which brought him to .340, NOT - as is clearly implied - from .257, but from an already quite presentable .305.
Regarding the second sentence, granted that the phrase "during this stage of the campaign" becomes problematic now that the credibility of the preceding sentence (to whose chronology "this stage" refers) has been utterly shredded, the fact remains that there was indeed a one-week stretch (after, btw, RC had played the entire month of April), during which, if not exactly "inactive," RC did have a "limited role," i.e. one week (5/2 thru 5/8) during which he either sat or pinch-hit late, twice staying in 2 play the field. This, however, in NO WAY corresponds with the 34-game streak, his 5/9 return 2 action preceding its start by almost a month. In other words, since the week of 'inactivity' ends well B4 either the 34- OR 16-game streaks begin, there's really no reason 4 its continued inclusion in this article. It doesn't really signify nor correspond 2 anything, neither struggle nor streak.
Anyway, enough from me; let's hear from u --DavidESpeed 23:49, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm sure you had good feeling moving the arrest and now conviction from the opening paragraph but it'd been that way (ex the conviction) for a long time and I in effect reverted your move while cleaning up and augmenting today's conviction additions.

Winning percentage is not really a percentage but a decimal fraction to the thousandth place although the term is commonly used, and we understand its meaning.

I've done the review which you nominated and have done pretty much all the leg work on the article. My general feeling was that I'd like to cut down on the number of very short sentences in places and have noted where I think we can improve the flow of the prose. I also had a query about the image used plus a question about him being 'overlooked' for the Hall of Fame. It might look a long list but it's only small stuff really which can easily be addressed to nudge it into GA so I'll put it on hold for the time being. It's all on the review page anyway.

I just have a request that you please avoid or at least limit the amount of players that you re-direct to the minor league pages. I'm going to be honest here its kind of annoying when I look up a player to create and it's redirected. But thats only part of the reason for the request. Personally I think these re-directs create unnecessary clutter on the minor league pages. If we are gonna have them, I think they should be the ones that were created, nominated for deletion, and it was determined that it should be re-directed (Archie Bradley for example). Not just re-directs for the sake of being re-directs (Jose Fernandez (pitcher)). Overall though I don't think the pages should have any player bios on them and just have the rosters. There is such a random assortment of players on there, scrubs, top prospects, etc it just makes no sense. I'm gonna bring this up to WP:Baseball to see what they think as soon as the winning percentage discussion cools off.--Yankees10 20:36, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
I see that you are very active in editing Jim Leyritz's Wiki page. I am representing Jim, from Attache, and would like to appropriately edit the information that seems to cast a negative light on Jim's reputation. Seeing as Wikipedia is deeply rooted in presenting information from a neutral perspective, I feel like it's important to respect and abide by their policies. In doing so, it seems beneficial perhaps if we were to work together and collaborate, therefore creating the most neutral of all perspectives, that serves as informative for Wikipedia users.
Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions, comments or concerns at s.dickerson@abandonconvention.com.
If you would like more information about our company, you may refer to our website at abandonconvention.com.
Thank you, Attache JimLeyritz (talk) 17:57, 28 June 2012 (UTC) Samantha
I most certainly am not. In fact, I am doing the complete opposite. It is clear that Jim has been portrayed in a poor light which is unfair per Wikipedia's code of conduct. Furthermore, I am asking for your compliance in redrafting the information so that it truly exemplifies a neutral point of view, as Wikipedia requires. If this has not clarified things, please specify where your confusion and/or apprehension lies.

| On29 June 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Chris Archer (baseball), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Chris Archer pitched USA Baseball's International Performance of the Year in 2010? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chris Archer (baseball). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
