NOTE:  If you leave me a message here, then I will respond to it here. However, expect me to leave a message on your talk page. I don't necessarily trust that my page is on your watchlist, so I want to make sure that you know that I replied.

Chris Young

Not arguing for the inclusion of the stat on CY's page, because it's immaterial; your edit is better. Just wanted to explain that lgERA is a sabermetric statistic used to indicate the ERA for a league-average pitcher in that ballpark or combination of ballparks. Also, WHIP is expressed in three decimals in a lot of sources, including Baseball-Reference.com, where that information was pulled. I have a preference for three decimals, but I understand that most casual statisticians will not care, so I'm not fighting one way or the other, just wanted to explain. EcamirG

Confusion

Now it may be slightly immaterial, but would you consider edits to Around the Horn and PTI "sports-related" or more "entertainment-related". I ask since I only like my edits to be sports-related. Thanks Soxrock 23:11 13 June 2007 (UTC)

2007 Tampa Bay Storm

I read it. But, as I've said, and not the old habits die hard one, I like to do edits in a series of edits instead of generally large ones. Soxrock 23:01 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

THANK YOU! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ONE FOR SO LONG I WAS GOING CRAZY! THANK YOU FOR GIVING IT TO ME! I'LL DISPLAY IT PROUDLY ON MY USERPAGE. YOU HAVE SERVED JUSTICE FOR ME AND I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME A MUCH-DESERVED BARNSTAR! AGAIN, THANKYOU! SOXROCK 29 June 19:30 (UTC)

Sorry, it's just my hard work lately has earned me nothing until you gave that barnstar to me. It was just, in my mind, too long a time I waited. Again, thank you Soxrock 29 June 19:34 (UTC)

Storm

Yeah, I was there, and those penalties and the missed extra point killed us. I really thought we would win easily, especially because we were at home. Hopefully I won't send you a bad feelings message on Tuesday. I will stay up late to watch your Avengers, or at least make my most committed effort. Good luck to your Avengers, and please root for Columbus to get their ass kicked by Dallas next week :). Soxrock

Yes, I really was, even though the seats weren't the best. And, if I were you, the reason I would be concerned on Monday is because your 0-2 vs. Utah this year, not because your at home. Then again, that's my opinion. Good luck and have a better time than I did! Soxrock 20:27 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Now, I've never been to the Staples Center, but is your section (205) in the second deck? Or is that the first deck, because I had seats behind the endzone. And, for ESPN, were the announcers Mark Jones and Merrill Hodge? I only ask because I think I saw the ESPN press box (2 people were wearing fancy suits with ties). Thanks Soxrock 20:33 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Ironically, that is about the same angle from where I sat today. But it was definitely farther away from the field. And Schlereth/Wischusen are doing the KC/COL game Soxrock 20:48 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I'm gonna do some more AFL related work now. Again, have a good time on Monday, I'll be rooting for LA. Soxrock 20:55 June 30 2007 (UTC)

Sorry it took awhile (I was busy updating and am still busy after the COL/KC epic finish), but I like the image, but do you have a larger image of that? Images that users here take and upload do not need resizing as much as a fair use image does. And since you took it and is thus non-fair use (it does not require limited usage), it can be larger than 160 x 106. Just wondering if it can be made larger as well because it's fairly hard to see the play. And yes, please put the image on the Avengers 2007 article. Soxrock 21:50 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that :( Message me when your back. Soxrock 22:04 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Bonds

Whoops, my bad. I thought I'd heard he went deep last night. I guess I misheard or something :(. Soxrock 11:58 June 30 2007 (UTC)

Avengers

Ok, first off, GO AVENGERS!!!

Now, for maybe individual player pages, I'd recommend trying to get pictures of Sonny Cumbie, Kevin Ingram and/or any other high profile Avengers players. As for the 2007 Avengers article, I'd maybe get a picture of a touchdown celebration or something. Something that would depict something good for the Avengers, as images that generally aren't showing something good are removed. Soxrock 20:24 July 2 2007 (UTC)

Avengers

I didn't hear the pregame (I was watching Yankees/Twins at 7:00 and it ended right on time), but during the telecast the announcers (Mark Jones and Mark Schlereth) were talking about the Avengers daunting defense witnessed last night and Utah's quick-strike ability. They said near the end of the telecast that, if any Chicago officials and/or players were watching that next week's game won't be easy for Chicago.

As for the game itself, Josh Jeffries was amazing. The only blemish for him was that fumble. Soxrock 14:18 July 3 2007 (UTC)

Atlanta Braves Roster Template

As I mentioned on the team page's talk page, thanks for cleaning that up. I wasn't sure how to format the link for the template.

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to you Ksy92003! We thank you for your contributions to this place ever since you've joined us! So, I, Soxrock, declare today as Ksy92003's day! Have a great day and enjoy the ballgame tonight and hope the Angels win! , enjoy your birthday and your parent's anniversary!

It's happening again

Different theatre, same people shouting "Fire!" -Jéské 01:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Florida Marlins/Boston Americans

Just an update. I have added prose to 1901 Boston Americans season and 1902 Boston Americans season along with rosters for the 1993-1998 Florida Marlins seasons (with a link on the template pages, I always cite my sources) and I plan to do more. Also, I'll be working on stats. Thanks for your help, and additional help will be appreciated. Soxrock 22:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I've been trying to work on this in avaliable time, but I can never do something I set myself to, unless it's creating those damn articles. Hopefully I can finally work hard on something, but maybe I need something to motivate me. I'll try to add prose and roster templates later on, but don't bank on it. Soxrock 23:36, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'll leave the Angels articles alone then (I've done a couple). I'll work on whatever I actually can stick to Soxrock 23:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Bonds

Are you saying the article is appropriate after he hits 756 but not before?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 06:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

No. he could be slowed by the Clemente illness.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 06:35, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

AWB

Well, and I'm anticipating hours before a response on this, but, even though I've read the manual, what makes AWB faster? I mean, how can it make my work not as hard? I'm not going to request AWB until I know what an AWB user can tell me about it. Thanks Soxrock 11:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the pointers. I could use it, but, heck, 250 edits in 63 minutes (with no editing the same article 5 times or so) is good enough. Either way, I'll be working on standings until tonight, when I'll focus on the player pages again. Again, thanks Soxrock 16:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

UBX you might be interested in

I figured, given all the hell you've been through... -Jéské 18:37, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Soxrock

Before going further, you should read WP:AUTOBLOCK. When a user account is "hard-blocked", the IP addresses used by that account are also automatically blocked for 24 hours. When someone requests to be unblocked and say they were autoblocked, it means that they shared the same IP, at least during that 24-hour period. Soxrock apparently is on a fairly static IP (meaning it rarely changes). When he was blocked for 3RR a few weeks ago, A. Shakespeare was autoblocked! The edit that Irishguy left on my talk page was A. Shakespeare requesting to be released from the autoblock but also proves that A. Shakespeare and Soxrock were using the same IP address within that 24-hour period. —Wknight94 (talk) 11:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if you're still having doubts about Soxrock. Here is another edit you might find interesting. One of Soxrock's admitted socks removing an unblock question from User talk:Soxrock with the edit summary "It's expired, the IP I have had a 24-hour block because of MrJiggifly1121". That's basically Soxrock admitting that he was on the same IP as the MrJiggifly1121 account that vandalized his user page. To me the checkuser is unnecessary (which may be why it hasn't been acted on yet) and the only thing left is to determine a proper response. —Wknight94 (talk) 03:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Undoing edits and edit summaries

I saw your message to Jaranda about default edit summaries. These are a bit hard to read but once you get the hang of it it's easy to figure out what's going on. In the case of the Eric Gagné edit, take a look at this history entry:

(cur) (last) 20:58, 2 August 2007 Adonice293 (Talk | contribs) (13,439 bytes) (undo)

If you mouse-over the URL, you will see

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Eric_Gagn%C3%A9&oldid=148797275

The oldid=148797275 matches the same number in the edit summary of the "undo" edit:

(cur) (last) 01:28, 5 August 2007 Jaranda (Talk | contribs) m (13,631 bytes) (Undid revision 148797275 by Adonice293 (talk)) (undo)

It would be far less confusing if the undo-edit default summary used the time with a hyperlink rather than just the edit number. Feel free to suggest this at the village pump. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 10:52, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed that... I had to because I wasn't sure which edit was edit id 148797275 before I checked myself. That's also what confused me... just by looking at the edit summary and seeing that number, I would have to search to see which edit was the one that was being reverted, something that I really don't like to do. But it's not an issue that I'm really concerned about. Thank you, Davidwr. Ksy92003(talk) 16:37, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Seriously stop

Stop checking all my edits, that is in the verge of WP:WIKISTALK. Jaranda 19:22, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Not really... I'm free to edit whatever I want. And that's the reason why your contributions are visible to the public, so other people can monitor them when they see the need. You have caused some problems in the past, so you're one of the users on my list of users whose edits I monitor constantly. When I look at your contributions and see that you make an edit that I don't agree with, one that I think isn't necessary, then I'm gonna revert it. Per WP:WIKISTALK, that's only an issue if the edits that I'm making are bothering you or preventing the progress of Misplaced Pages, neither of which I'm doing. Since your contributions are visable to the public, I'm free to look at them and revert your edits if I feel fit. Ksy92003(talk) 19:26, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
