Edited without loggining in[edit]

I am only using one account and it's the one you blocked from editing (Aggiefan47). Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:45A0:A9E0:E8B7:9F58:DF4E:B708 (talk) 18:51, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dee Gordon[edit]

It's on espn the athletic and MLB trade rumors. What else do u need ? Mr Gordon to call you himself to tell you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliastroadmire (talkcontribs) 22:28, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The teams involved need to confirm the trade, which is more than likely pending physical evaluations. They have not done this yet. This is standard WP:BASEBALL practice. Trades can and have been cancelled due to the results of physicals. We wait until it becomes official. If you continue to disrupt the page you will be blocked from editing. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 22:34, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And 30 seconds later, it's official. See the difference? Trut-h-urts man (TC) 22:35, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A different Dee Gordon complaint[edit]

Dee Gordon will not be playing second base for the Mariner’s - would be nice to see accurate information - thanks :) TravelBud (talk) 00:36, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hasn't happened yet. Per WP:CRYSTAL, we don't predict the future. Stating the Mariners plan to play him in the outfield (with a reliable citation) in the Mariners section would be best for now. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 01:00, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No one said anything about predicting the future - it’s stated by the team - why than put a position for each player - please include citation where you got that he is a second baseman for the Mariner’s TravelBud (talk) 14:24, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Gordon hasn't played a single MLB out in the outfield (See the standard fielding section). Regardless of where the Mariners intend to play him, the infobox can and should reflect the position(s) he has played for the majority of his career to this point, and definitely should not include positions he has not played yet. By placing "outfielder" in the infobox, you are attempting to predict an expected future event, which violates WP:CRYSTAL (and specifically, "Avoid predicted sports team line-ups, which are inherently unverifiable and speculative.") It's for that reason that we also do not add "Seattle Mariners (2018–present)" to Gordon's infobox until he appears in a regular season game for Seattle. I don't know how I can explain this any clearer to you, so I now consider the matter closed. If you want to take it further please open a discussion at WP:BASEBALL, though you shouldn't expect to find support for your position. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 17:17, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jake McGee[edit]

I didn't realize the initial vandalism preceded the article. Good job putting that timeline together. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:23, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've had that gem in cold-storage until today. Someone is trying to "pull a Mike Trout". Trut-h-urts man (TC) 22:24, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You'd think he'd be more creative, or pick a bigger target. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:26, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It would probably be a good idea to document this on Talk:Jake McGee, much as you did at WP:RPP. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:38, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Will do - hopefully it'll be of some use to other editors unfortunate enough to get dragged into this. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 22:44, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stop reverting my edits[edit]

The MLB YouTube channel has confirmed Carlos Santana's signing with the Philadelphia Phillies, yet you still reverted my changes. Can you please not. Also I would apprecate if you re-enstated my changes cause im not doing it for a 3rd time and I shouldnt have to. Aqrez (talk) 01:45, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You know, I'm getting kind of tired of explaining this to people. Read this article. Take note of the part that says "The deal, which the team has not confirmed because it is pending a physical". If he hasn't passed a physical, the signing isn't official. Take a look at the Phillies official Twitter page. See a posting announcing the signing? Neither do I. The "MLB YouTube channel" (which you didn't provide) is irrelevant. The team announces when a signing is official. Since they haven't done that yet, it isn't official. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 02:16, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You must be real fun at parties Aqrez (talk) 04:04, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I guess reading was too much to ask. It's not difficult. Then again, reading seems like a problem for you. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 17:27, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback[edit]

With respect, I don't think this was an appropriate use of rollback, per WP:RBK. The preceding edit was clearly made in good faith, and, aside from the MOS:DATEFORMAT issue, seemed quite reasonable. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 03:51, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Andy Dirks[edit]

I add recent stuff on him and you change it back please stop Dragonfan96 (talk) 04:40, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're adding unsourced content in violation of Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people, as I have told you repeatedly. You've also abused multiple IPs and now a registered account to do so. If you continue you will be blocked from editing. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 04:42, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Capitals[edit]

So, if someone is a president, their title is generally President, and you initial cap it, as with a President of Team X. See http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/team/front_office.jsp?c_id=cle --2604:2000:E016:A700:6051:4F46:43BD:6EA8 (talk) 01:19, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, you do not. You would if using it before the name of a country's president (as in, President George Washington), or if used immediately preceding a person's name (as in, "team President Mark Shapiro...") in American English usage, per Grammarist. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 01:24, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes you do. When it is understood that it is his title, understood that your are referring to "President of x" you say President .. as in President Trump .. and when you are just referring to generically "a" president you just say "president." https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/285685/capitalization-of-president-and-state-of-the-united-states

It depends whether you are referring to an official title -- which is what we are doing here .. or whether we are are describing a type of position. https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/capitalizing-job-titles 2604:2000:E016:A700:6051:4F46:43BD:6EA8 (talk) 01:44, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gurriel[edit]

Duh. For some reason I thought he debuted yesterday, forgot it was Friday. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:58, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No worries - I'm pretty glad he debuted on Friday, otherwise the Jays could be staring at a sweep today. Severino sharp once again. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 19:17, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Braden Smith[edit]

I can resolve this battle you are having at Braden Smith. NFL.com lists what a player was listed at in college for rookies (see his college profile). Team websites on the other hand, usually will the most updated information. These editors are getting 315 from his Colts profile. Please use height and weight from team websites for rookies.--Rockchalk717 17:37, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't call it a battle. An editor made unsourced edits to the page and I corrected it. Or so I thought. Had they explained themselves with an edit summary I would have known where they were getting their information. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 02:42, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol?[edit]

Hi Trut-h-urts man,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 13:01, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

Hey, So I was looking at the Blue Jays and the White Sox roster and I saw two things that caught my eye Taylor Guerrieri and Thyago Viera weren't on the 40 man roster and on each teams AAA website it says they aren't on the 40 man but I have seen nothing of either player being DFA'd or outrighted. What should I do for their pages?. Kingryan227 (DecreesActs) 22:34, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible that these roster moves were made very recently and haven't been announced yet, though that seems unlikely, and I suppose it is also possible that the moves were made without announcement, but the DFA/outright assignment should still appear on the teams transactions log and they don't (Vieira was on the 25-man roster for a day in June, Guerrieri's last transaction was in March). I honestly have no idea what to do with it, but I suppose for now the reliable sources are saying the players aren't on the 40-man (in the sense that they don't say they are). Go with the official pages and hide them from the roster templates (maybe with an explanation that they aren't presently listed on the team's official roster pages). It can always be changed back if/when they reappear. Trut-h-urts man (TC) 23:54, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quenton Nelson[edit]

I have left a valid source on my edits multiple times and you continue to reverse them. Let me reiterate, again: QUENTON NELSON, the person the article is about, used his own voice and spoke into a microphone that his middle name is EMERSON. This was done so on Monday, April 6, 2020, on Pardon My Take, the most popular sports podcast in the world, which hundreds of thousands of people listen to. There’s your source. It isn’t a guess. It isn’t fake. It came from the actual person the entire page is dedicated to. Do some damn research before you just reverse an edit to get high off your “power” of your Wikipedia profile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:802:8300:1D0:F4FA:FF33:C896:F91A (talk) 17:30, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have not left a valid source. Drmies, an administrator for Wikipedia, removed the PMT source here, with proper explanation. You have continued to add the unsourced information to the page, in clear violation of WP:BLP. And you continue to push an unsourced edit after being issued numerous warnings, which is why I have now both reported your IP range for blocking and recommended the page be protected against further BLP violations.

Redirects[edit]

Hey, I was wondering how you can edit redirects? Specifically regarding Jasseel De La Cruz I put his into from the Atlanta Braves minor league players to the Oakland Athletics but it still redirects to Atlanta could use some help please! Kingryan227 (DecreesActs) 18:28, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and changed the redirect, but the way I do it is to search the page, then click the link near the top of the page under the title. So when you now search for De La Cruz, the page that comes up is the Oakland minor leaguers page. At the top it says
Oakland Athletics minor league players
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Redirected from Jasseel De La Cruz
I click that link and it takes you to the non-redirected page, where you can edit the redirect.
Additionally, while I've "got you here", please stop describing players as "currently a free agent", as the word current is both time-sensitive and unnecessary. As well, please properly source player transactions (major or minor) and update player team histories in leads if/when they change teams or become free agents.
