DYK for Preston Larrison

On 21 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Preston Larrison, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that after he retired from professional baseball, Preston Larrison opened a youth baseball academy? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Preston Larrison. 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.

Wisconsin recall election

How is it relevant? Please tell me. All these sources say are that the person decided not to run. The Erpanbach, Kind, and Obey sources are actually just the fact that they endorsed Barrett, not actual declinations! I'm all for the endorsement sections, but the fact that they didn't run has nothing to do with the election. Is the reader too stupid to realize that only people who ran actually did run, or does the fact some people didn't run need to be spelled out to them? We could list every other politician in the state who didn't run, but it doesn't help the reader. If someone who didn't run somehow had an impact on the race (say, Clinton if she doesn't in 2016), that should absolutely be mentioned - in prose, explaining their connection to the election. A bullet-point list provides zero information and falsely implies that a declination (or none at all!) ties the person to the race. Reywas92 15:09, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

The Wisconsin recall election set off a free for all of candidates who talked about the race and considered running. That's part of the historical event that is the election, especially people who were high profile during the events that led up to the recall, like Erpanbach. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:05, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

But the article simply lists these people as declining to run, and the sources given do not necessarily discuss their consideration. It would be great to see in the article these people's connection to the historical event, but a bullet-point list of people who obviously didn't run is unhelpful. Would you agree, though, that individuals who never made statements about potentially running in an election should not be included? In other articles some people are listed despite remaining silent about the election, simply not running like millions of others. Reywas92 16:44, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

You've argued this point before on various pages for years now and you're clearly in the minority. The consensus exists that the "declined" section shouldn't be arbitrarily removed. Tiller54 (talk) 20:58, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

And these people shouldn't be arbitrarily added! Once again, I'm not sure if you've ever given me a damn explanation, just revert after revert. I point to United States Senate election in Indiana, 2012, where Don Bates (who doesn't have an article) is listed with this as a source. HOW is he part of the process?? This is the source of Walorski there, again not having any evidence that she actually considered running, not actually declining to run, not having any influence on other candidates, just being "rumored". By whom? And who cares? Some writer arbitrarily pulling names of any politicians out of his ass as someone who could theoretically run does not affect the race. As I've said before, if someone does have a connection to the election, please explain how, but listing random people is worthless simply because they ran in a different election. There is precedent for removing those who don't run: , , , among others. And don't effing undo those old edits too. Reywas92 03:12, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, we get that you disagree with us but could you please be civl. Thanks. Tiller54 (talk) 17:41, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

I found an old discussion with Muboshgu where I offered a compromise, though without response. Can we keep the people who actually did something, but not those who did nothing themselves?

I still stand by that offer. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:24, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

NC State Wolfpack baseball edits

Hey there. With regards to the edit you made to NC State Wolfpack baseball recently, I wanted to lay out my argument for including some of the information you removed and to see what your thoughts are.

If your edits were meant to make the "Notable former players" section strictly about notable former players, my suggestion would be to change the section headers rather than remove the information. If this was your intent, a change from "Notable former players" to "Notable players" would allow us to include links to Rodon and others. As for the recent draftees, a separate level 2 section titled "MLB Draft" might work. Ejgreen77 has been doing great work to add lists of alumni draftees to program pages (an example is Canisius Golden Griffins baseball), and a table like that could add some meat to an MLB Draft section. (If your concern was indeed making it a true notable former players section, feel free to ignore the next paragraph.)

If, on the other hand, you made the edits because you don't feel the information about current players or recent drafts should be included at all, here are my arguments for inclusion of both. First, for current players. I'm personally not crazy about pages for college baseball players, and I generally argue for deletion if a player page comes on AfD. However, if a consensus of editors has decided a college player is notable, it seems self-evident that we should include links to those pages. This is simple reasoning in line with WP:LINK, "Internal links can add to the cohesion and utility of Misplaced Pages, allowing readers to deepen their understanding of a topic by conveniently accessing other articles." If the clearly related player articles exist, we should include links to them. Second, for recent draft history. In a list of topics important to a college baseball program, developing players for professional baseball ranks highly, in my opinion, along with the program's venue, coaches, history, championships, individual awards, etc. And if we do include information about professional alumni, it makes sense to include precise, detailed information (number of draftees, when (in what years and rounds) the players were drafted, whether the players were pitchers or position players, whether they chose to sign professional contracts, etc). This seems like a better way to let the reader draw conclusions than vague statements about former players' being drafted or appearing in MLB or sections that talk only about one or two high-profile players. (Again, this paragraph is irrelevant if you intended only to make the notable former players section strictly about players with articles who no longer play for the program.)

To sum up, I disagree with your decision to remove the information about recent draft history and current players, but wanted to lay out my argument for inclusion and ask about your reasoning rather than reverting. I'll watch your talk page, but feel free to respond here, on my talk page, or on the program talk page. Cheers, and thanks for all the work you put in. Kithira (talk) 20:37, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Junior Lake (baseball)

I don't know if the hysteria surrounding Lake has cooled off yet, so it might be nice if his article was in better shape. Would you mind giving it a makeover (even if it's just a small makeover)? AutomaticStrikeout  ?  21:23, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 July newsletter

We're halfway through this year's penultimate round, and the competition is moving along well. Pool A's Sasata (submissions) currently leads overall, while Pool B's Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) is second. Both leaders are WikiCup veterans, and both have already scored over 600 points this month. If the round were to end today, Miyagawa (submissions), with 274 points, would be the lowest-scoring participant to make it through. This indicates that participants will need a score comparable to last year's (573, the highest ever) to qualify for the final. The high scores this year are a testament both to the quality of participants and to the increased focus on significant content (eligible for bonus points) in this year's competition. So far this round, both Sasata and Cwmhiraeth (submissions) have made up over half of their score through bonus points, with, for example, high importance FA koala earning Sasata a total of 440 points (from a multiplier of 4.4) and high-importance GA sea earning Cwmhiraeth a total of 216 points (from a multiplier of 7.2). Other articles on important topics submitted this round include a featured article on the Norman conquest of England by Ealdgyth (submissions), and good articles on Nobel laureate in literature Henryk Sienkiewicz, Nobel laureate in physics Hans Bethe, and the noted Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū. These articles are by Piotrus (submissions), Hawkeye7 (submissions) and Sturmvogel_66 respectively.

Other than that, there is not much to report! 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 Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

If we are not a newspaper, please take down more info on Alex Rodriguez. I just did, it's more speculation. Kennvido (talk) 21:11, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

That page does need more cleaning up, sure. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:12, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Let's work together and clean up...great! Kennvido (talk) 21:13, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Will do my best NOT to put in any SPEC. I did put in the deadline, which is not SPEC. Kennvido (talk) 21:41, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine. Thanks for your work. The Biogenesis part of the page is much better. It could still use some paring around the other steroid/PED issues and his marital infidelity, I think, and I may take a stab at that. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:51, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Good luck, I have around 9000 edits. A lot of them fixing. Some articles are easier to fix than others as you know. I'll keep an eye on it too. Are there any articles you see that needs organization. If so, let me know and I'll work on it. Thanks. 22:11, 3 August 2013 (UTC)Kennvido (talk)

Can you help me with something. Can you go on my talk page and condense it? I would like the help or tell me a SIMPLE way to do it. Thanks Kennvido (talk) 22:17, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I just set up archiving for you. It should start moving old threads into archives soon. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:27, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
