=== Thanks ===

I took your advice and dropped him a line. And while it probably won't matter to our hostile editor, thanks for letting him know that he's a minority in his battle to maintain ignorance. -- ] 23:19, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

What to do with an obstinate editor?

I received a RFC from User 64.131.205.111 (whose previous ID , YoSoyGuapo, was banned) about Josh Gibson's lifetime HR totals. You probably know my opinion, that the numbers need to reflect what is known from best and most recent research; he is of the opinion that the "nearly 800" that has been claimed from anecdotal evidence for 50 years is the most accurate. He's spent some time attacking me personally (suggesting that I have a deliberate agenda to "downplay" Negro League numbers (such as not giving Gibson "full" credit for games played against semi-pro competition), and I'm getting very tired of him.

Is there a procedure to follow here? And could you or a few other baseball editors step in and let him know that I'm not the only one who thinks he's wrong? I'd appreciate it.

They aren't "original research." I've got the tapes. They were aired on KPRC 950AM in Houston. How do I prove that to you? Those were big games. Please don't delete things on a whim without consulting people. Youngberry 19:40, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Unverifiable, no dates given; random calls in random games; nothing uniquely connecting the calls with Milo; and besides all that, the team finished in 4th place in 1990. Baseball Bugs 20:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
