The reviewing process has changed and so it is difficult to do anything other than a single revert. Sorry about that, but keep it in mind and try to get discussion etc.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 17:57, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Baseball

The thing is we already have a main article, Baseball, and also History of Baseball, so any statements about its origin should be in those articles first. Otherwise if someone clicks through they will just be confused. There still seems to be a debate about this, as this book seems to disagree. Get some consensus at those articles first please. Thanks. BTW I couldn't care less about where it was invented, just that our articles are consistent and well sources. We may have to say that there is disagreement if the sources conflict.

The articles at Baseball and History of baseball clearly mention its first attestation in England, its links and similarities to rounders and other games in England, and its arrival in America with English settlers and colonists in the English colonies (America was founded by the English). Even if it was invented in the English colonies and not in England itself, it was still done so by Englishmen. Human Taxonomist (talk) 08:16, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
