Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Kyle Tucker, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:39, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

August 2018

Hello, I'm Bagumba. Your recent edit to the page Carmelo Anthony appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 10:00, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Baseball league leaders edits

• It is great that you like to update the league leaders for the current baseball season, but please wait until all of the games have been played for the day and update them all for every spot that is needed. Thank you.
  • I would like to second this. If you are going to update the league leaders, do them all please instead of picking and choosing. Thank you in advance.

Justus Sheffield

Sheffield and German have not yet been promoted. They will be promoted on Tuesday. Checking the roster link could've confirmed that. Please don't do this again. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:39, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Adrián Beltré

I reverted your addition to Adrián Beltré because:

• You didn't provide a citation for the information
• You inserted the information immediately before an existing citation: this could mislead the reader into thinking that the information you added was referenced and that the preceding statement ("most hits by a foreign-born player, surpassing Ichiro Suzuki") wasn't, when the opposite is true.
• The information itself was somewhat vague: what sort of "send-off" was given exactly?

November 2018

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Sonny Gray, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:19, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Carmelo Anthony. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. —Bagumba (talk) 04:50, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Luis Arraez moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Luis Arraez, does not have sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Using the {{current}} template is great, but please don't change the team. The whole point is that it's too soon to change the team. Especially since in Miller's case, Rosenthal's tweet doesn't even say they have an agreement, just that they're getting close to one. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:09, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

License tagging for File:GVKNFPVQBUI6TJPIHE2PSPSJ2I.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:GVKNFPVQBUI6TJPIHE2PSPSJ2I.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:30, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:GVKNFPVQBUI6TJPIHE2PSPSJ2I.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:GVKNFPVQBUI6TJPIHE2PSPSJ2I.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

source jersey numbers

Just a reminder, jersey numbers need sources just like everything else. A player previously wearing a number doesn't mean they'll wear it on a new team. When Zunino became a Ray last season, you added him as #3 everywhere because he was #3 as a Mariner, even though he ended up wearing #10. Hunter Renfroe wearing #10 as a Padre doesn't mean Zunino will switch, and it also doesn't mean Zunino will switch back to #3, because why wouldn't he have just taken #3 in the first place?

Detroit Tigers roster numbers

Hi there! Just wanted to ask you to please stop updating jersey numbers on the Tigers roster page in the event of new signings if they are not confirmed. This is echoing a previous talk page comment, but just because a player may have worn a jersey number with a previous team does not mean they'll wear it for their new team. Please refrain from editing jersey numbers until there is confirmation by the team either in a press conference, on their website, or via another media release. Thank you! NotAdamKovic (talk) 00:13, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

baseball rosters

When you update the roster templates at the end of the season, don't move the non 40-man players from the player pool to the active roster. They should be removed. It is hard to cleanup after you do that. Spanneraol (talk) 18:50, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Cubs players numbers

Hey man I am just curious where did you find all these Cubs players numbers for the new acquisitions. I checked the MLB at Bat app for the Cubs and their office website and it has 2 dashes for them/no number for them. Could you send me the link for the website you got them from? ParkerLyme (talk) 03:07, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

I have the same question as well, but for Toronto Blue Jays players. For example, where do you get the source that Tyler Chatwood's number is 30 and Kirby Yates' number is 36? I have checked various reliable baseball roster websites, including mlb.com, and they mostly have them with the numbers 32 (despite that number being retired to honour Roy Halladay) and 39, respectively. If you can't find the source(s), your edits to various players' and team rosters' articles constitute original research at best and original research is prohibited. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 04:42, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

• I've done a quick scan of this users edits, and found that they never respond to messages here. This seems like typical WP:RADAR behavior and is not acceptable. @Astros1962:, I strongly suggest you engage about this. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, that doesn't work if you keep just going your own way and refusing to communicate with others. And it should go without saying that you shouldn't just be making up things and then adding them to articles. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:15, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

  Beeblebrox, to be fair, there was Special:Diff/934516023 a long while ago, but examples like Tyler Chatwood's "30" contradict that explanation. The official website says "32". So Astros1962, it would be interesting to learn where the "30" came from. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 05:20, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

I will go ahead and change Kirby Yates' number to #39 per official website. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 17:25, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

I fully understand why I have been blocked from making edits on Wikipedia. I promise it will not happen again and will be more communitive on this website. Astros1962 (talk) 00:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Being uncommunicative is part of why you were blocked. The main reason, however, is that you're adding unsourced content. Where are you getting this information, why aren't you citing sources when asked, and why are you ignoring requests to do so on your talk page? At the very least, show us that you're capable of following our core policy of verifiability by citing your source here on your talk page. Once you do that, maybe we can shorten the block or unblock you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:25, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Not credible at all; we still lack answers to the question above the block notice, for starters. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:56, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Important notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

Per Special:Diff/1002781706, you have introduced not just original research or failed to cite an existing source. You have, instead, made up the numbers.

This is completely unacceptable. If you ever edit a biography under this "habit" again, you will be indefinitely topic banned from editing biographical articles in the future, without further warning. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:36, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I have to agree, that response is completely unacceptable and shows a complete misunderstanding of the most basic policies regarding what Wikipedia is and how it works. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:24, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Per policy, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Some players have favorite numbers they like to keep when they change teams, but you should not assume that before the new team verifies his number. – wbm1058 (talk) 02:56, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Should any potential topic bans include all sports-related articles on top of all biographical articles, given that Astros1962 also edits roster templates, as well as articles on other sports and their players? By the way, I agree that making up jersey numbers is definitely prohibited on Wikipedia as making up anything, including jersey numbers, harms Wikipedia's reputation, especially given that Wikipedia articles on individual players show up among the first few results of Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 01:03, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Johnny Au, a "broadly construed" BLP ban should probably encompass this automatically. Anything beyond that wouldn't be justifiable using the discretionary sanctions procedure, as far as I know -- unless there's one for sports too. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:44, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 14:54, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

gd2.mlb.com

Hi - thanks for updating 2021 Boston Red Sox season. Do links to gd2.mlb.com (example) work for you? They give me an error message every time "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." even though they worked for me in past seasons.... Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 21:08, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

I've had no issue with it before in the past but I haven't checked recently. Astros1962 (talk) 21:28, 4 April 2021 (UTC).

I just checked, it gives me the same error as well Astros1962 (talk) 21:30, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for checking. It's very odd, I'm not sure what happened. Unfortunately, those links used for box scores in prior seasons (such as 2020 Boston Red Sox season) also no longer work. Anyhow, we can use MLB.com box scores for this season. Dmoore5556 (talk) 02:45, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

All right, I'll make sure to use those instead. Thanks for the info. Astros1962 (talk) 02:51, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Bay Area Game Logs

Hi,

I was wondering if I could take the lead on updating the game logs for both of the Bay Area baseball teams for the remainder of this season. I am from the Bay Area and are a big fan of both of them. I promise to get them updated within 5 minutes of their completion unless I have problems with getting the proper attendance number. Please respond when you have time. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 05:15, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Sure, that's fine with me. Astros1962 (talk) 18:53, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Game logs MLB

Could you please give me like a 2 minute window after the A's and Giants games to go final please so that I can at least have an opportunity to make the edits? If I don't make the edits within the 2 minutes then by all means go ahead and do them yourself. That would be much appreciated. I had the A's edits ready yesterday but then I got an edit conflict alert. I hope you understand. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 22:42, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm just impatient sometimes. Go ahead with that. My bad Astros1962 (talk) 22:49, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

@Astros1962: All good. I appreciate your passion for these types of edits. I want to be an ally with you not an enemy. Let's put this behind us and enjoy the rest of this baseball season. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 05:35, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Seattle Mariners

Should I go back to last season and make the same change as you did to this season? The win color #cfc;” was used last year as well. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 23:17, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I would do that Astros1962 (talk) 23:30, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

@Astros1962: How far back should we go? I can handle two seasons or so. I can go back and do 2019 and 2020. If you think we need more then could you please help me? Thanks. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 00:03, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

@GoWarriors151718: Just do 2020 for right now. Astros1962 (talk) 00:18, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

@Astros1962: Alright. I just completed the switch on all the wins and the legend. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 04:54, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey…. I’m going to be away from a computer when the Rays vs Mariners game ends tomorrow and so I was wondering if you could help me out tomorrow by filling in the proper info for that game. I will be back in time for the other games (SF, OAK). Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering if we should change the background color on wins from “ccffcc” to “bbffbb”. I think the change would align the color with the other teams in the league. Please respond with what you think. Thanks. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 04:03, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, that sounds good, Go ahead with that. Astros1962 (talk) 04:13, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Calendar Flips MLB

Hi. I was wondering for the teams that I don’t normally update (game by game) if I could be in charge of changing which month is visible. I was thinking that you could update the game results for today but not change the month and then as soon as I see your edit then I would go in and change the month. I’m sorry if this is confusing in any way. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 20:11, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, that sounds fine, although for the Blue Jays one, i'd wait until the red sox play their game before changing the month so I can update it fully. Astros1962 (talk) 20:26, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

@Astros1962 Okay. I took a look at the page and I figured out why that is. I will wait for your edit first before I switch the month on the Blue Jays page. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 22:34, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

@Astros1962 Thanks for letting me edit the calendars for nearly all the MLB teams. Next month (end August-begin September) I think it would be better if I just focus on the NL and AL West teams (10 teams). Thanks. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 03:59, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey. Can I help with calendar flips again please? I am only interested in doing them for the AL and NL west teams so you can take care of the non west teams. Thanks. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 01:19, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, go ahead. Astros1962 (talk) 01:22, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

@GoWarriors151718: Do you wanna do the same thing for when the calendar flips from September to October? Astros1962 (talk) 01:31, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Yeah. Sure. And it will just be for the AL West and NL West. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 01:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Ok, sounds good Astros1962 (talk) 01:45, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

May I be the lead on flipping the calendars for the remaining 8 AL/NL teams please? Thanks. And sorry for making so many reversions on your talk page. I learned that I shouldn't have deleted the information to begin with so I was righting my mistake. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 21:38, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, that's fine. Also, i never noticed any changes. Astros1962 (talk) 21:39, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks. And that is good on the changes. I removed some of my old conversations with you on your page but then later I learned that it wasn't a smart move on my part so I put them back and I was worried that you might get like a lot of notifications from me in a short period. Anyway, thanks again. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 22:03, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi.

Sorry if I jumped the gun on this but I went ahead and took care of filling out the game logs for the Padres, Diamondbacks, and Rangers with the results from today. If you were going to do them, then that is my bad. If not, then I am glad that I was able to pick you up after you helped me over the weekend.

Noah Syndergaard

You've been here long enough to know better than to change that without even adding a source. Nevermind the fact that you've been here long enough to know that the sources all say "according to reports" or "pending a physical", and that we wait for the team's official announcement before we change a page because we're not a newspaper. We don't break news. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:40, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

The Angels announced it on their official twitter. Here's the link confirming the signing, https://twitter.com/Angels/status/1460811270215536644. Also, I've learned my lesson from February, I make sure the team's confirmed it on Twitter before I change things. And I also change the numbers only if the team has it on their website. Astros1962 (talk) 03:54, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Missed this reply. Guess I missed Syndergaard's announcement then too. Be sure to include the source when you do make those changes, like you did today with Graveman. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:23, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
