Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on February 24, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that United States Senator Jim Bunning threw the only perfect game out of the nine no-hitters in Philadelphia Phillies history?

Baserunners and managers

[edit]

It should be interesting to have the number of baserunners in the table. In a no-hit game, opponents can still reach base via a walk, error, or hit by pitch. In a no-hit game without the baserunners, it would be called a perfect game. The number of baserunners somehow determine how close the no-hit game it is to perfect game and estimate how many batters did a pitcher(s) faced. The managers, on the other hand, determine the lineups and starting rotation from time-to-time. Managers determine the order of starting pitchers who may eventually throw a no-hitter(s) or perfect game(s). So having table at full width and putting two images starting in See also section would be great for better fitting of texts in each line.

Interesting? Perhaps. Necessary for an encyclopedia? Not particularly. You're turning a featured list into a collection of indiscriminate information, prohibited by site policy. I'm asking you to please revert those additions (considering that you violated WP:3RR by reverting again before discussion took place anyway). — KV5Talk13:24, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My reversion of 12:39 on December 6 2010

[edit]

The rationale behind my reversion, which was too long for an edit summary:

  • The editor continues to make sweeping changes to featured content without discussion.
  • The editor improperly re-formatted reference titles.
  • The editor removed summary elements of the list from the lead.
  • The editor expanded the section header above the list to the point of redundancy.
  • The editor added unneeded dates, superfluous information, and countless MOS:NUM violations to the lead.
  • The editor added jargon in the form of "plate umpire", rather than simply umpire.
  • The editor removed Wikipedia-markup templates in favor of bare HTML markup.
  • The editor added several pieces of unnecessary information to the table.

In short, addition of superfluous information is making this list into a collection of indiscriminate information; these sorts of changes should cease or be discussed before further edits are made. — KV5Talk12:44, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
