World Series

No, I wasn't talking about questionable statements. There aren't any questionable or contestable statements as far as I have read the article. But the whole article is written without any references or citations. In order to qualify for a Good article or Featured article, the article must cite ample references. See similar article Cricket World Cup for example. I'll try to add references as and when I find them but my knowledge about baseball is very limited. Gnanapiti 17:49, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

There are 5 references in total. For an article that big, reviewers would like to see at least 60 of them. To start with, the whole section of "International impact". Sentences like The World Series itself retains a US-oriented atmosphere. The title of the event is often presented on television as merely a "brand name" in the same sense as the "Super Bowl" need solid references backing them. Gnanapiti 18:58, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
That's true. The entire section looks somewhat out of place in the article and gives too much information, much more than what is actually needed in an encyclopedia. What happens is it becomes difficult to search for references for stories like that. It's better to nuke unverifiable content entirely IMHO, presenting exactly what is needed. May be an explanation for the title "World series" and that's all. Gnanapiti 19:27, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Who blocks themselves?

Apparently, you did this? I was reading User talk:Wknight94, and I was under the impression that you did this... were you serious? Ksy92003(talk) 18:48, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... that's... interesting, I suppose. Ksy92003(talk) 19:06, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Nolan Ryan

The 12-11 was probably not vandalism, just bad math. Of Ryan's 27 seasons, two were partial. His average record for a 162-game season (counting the partial seasons pro rata) was 13-12, but if you just divide his lifetime record by 27, you'll get closer to 12-11.--Wehwalt 15:34, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

User page

I like your user page. I've just pinched some ideas. I hope you don't mind! Regards SilkTork 19:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Strange Harmonica Happy Vandal

If he leaves another weird comment at Irishguy's talk page, I'll report him to WP:AIV. What's preventing me from blocking him is mostly due to the fact I'm not an admin. :) Oh, and just curious: how did you find my userpage? :) -WarthogDemon 03:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see. :) I thought it was interesting since some of your recent contribs had to do with warthogs. :) And will do! -WarthogDemon 04:15, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Seems the issue has finally been dealt with. -WarthogDemon 18:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
