Lewis (baseball)

[edit]

Hi Therapyisgood - I would agree about "a Major League Baseball" but when you reduce it to MBA the first sound is an "em" which takes "an".
A search of Wikipedia articles for "an MLB" gives 649 matches - whereas a search for "a MLB" gives 5 matches - including Lewis (baseball) and four quotations, which we don't change, even though they are wrong. I'll leave you to revert yourself - Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 18:29, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. I go on what's right, not the number of search results. Therapyisgood (talk) 19:14, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
So, 650 people (649 plus me) are wrong, and you are right? - sounds unlikely
You probably don't want to read this - although I couldn't find an example for MLB - it does cover NBC - it is the sound, not the letter. - Arjayay (talk) 19:26, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Again the number of people saying something is totally and wholly irrelevant. However here and here seem to indicate the acronym's article is based on how it sounds, so I'll change it back. Regards. Therapyisgood (talk) 19:43, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for doing that - happy editing - Arjayay (talk) 20:15, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ANI

[edit]

I have summarily closed the discussion you recently opened at WP:ANI as I believe your complaint to be without merit. Where possible please pursue other forms of dispute resolution before coming to ANI, which should generally be a last resort.

DYK for Lewis (baseball)

[edit]

On 26 June 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lewis (baseball), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lewis (baseball). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Lewis (baseball)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Thanks for your comments on the Willie Mays peer review! I applied your suggestions, and I just nominated it for featured article status, so feel free to comment! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 11:35, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I just nominated Willie Mays for a peer review. During its recent featured article nomination, User:SandyGeorgia suggested it needed more work on the prose and mentioned that such a review could use the help of an experienced baseball editor like yourself. If you have time to take a look at it, your input would be greatly appreciated! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:32, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sometime in the coming months when you have enough time, could you go through the Mays article and let me know what would need to be fixed for you to support its promotion to FA? The most recent review closed because no one had given any supports; I am thinking that a lot of people just didn't have time to look through such a long article. This way, you can look at it whenever you get a chance, instead of having to do so within a certain amount of time. Let me know! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 23:01, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for March 23, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 23, 2021. Congratulations on your work!—Wehwalt (talk) 20:02, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for Lewis (baseball), who "played in one professional baseball game in 1890, and his first name is completely unknown. He's interesting for sure, and showed how the 1890 Buffalo Bisons were doing at the time. Set several records of futility, and was described as a "failure" and "unfortunate" in press at the time. History hasn't been kinder to him."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:11, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Maile66, Gerda Arendt, and LouisAlain: Independent from you I had noticed the erroneous Creative Commons license on File:Margyl1905.JPG and File:Margyl1905 (cropped).JPG and it bugs me as well. The correct license would be "{{PD-old-100-1996}}". But this is an error on Commons, not Wikipedia, so reporting it on Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors doesn't help. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:44, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset and Drmies: this post is about WP:ERRORS report Not sure what I should do about Commons, if anything. The DYK for Jane Margyl has come and gone on the Main Page. I don't know enough about Commons licensing to deal with this. Alexis Jazz is indef blocked at Commons, so they can't do anything. — Maile (talk) 22:08, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
User:Maile66, that took me down a really long and twirly rabbit hole. Thanks! Also, I don't do things on Commons, for very good reasons, and I have really nothing to do at all with the image, so I'll have to push the "not my job" button, regrettably. Drmies (talk) 01:11, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Maile66, in the interest of education I'll explain to you how I arrived at my conclusion: according to the file description the photographer is Nadar. This is confirmed by the signature on File:Margyl1905.JPG. Nadar died in 1910, so per the Copyright law of France his works entered the public domain 70 years later on 1 January 1981. And 1910 is over a 100 years ago. The URAA date for France (on which US copyrights for foreign works were restored) is 1 January 1996. Since the copyright in France had already expired in 1981 no copyright was restored in the US for this photo, hence the "-1996" in "PD-old-100-1996". Even better would actually be "{{PD-old-auto-1996|deathyear=1910|country=France}}", but that's just technicalities. Another option would be {{PD-old-auto-expired|deathyear=1910|country=France}}, but technically we don't have proof the photo was published before 1926 which makes -1996 the safer option in this particular case. If you have copyright questions in the future, feel free to ask. Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 09:23, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's moot for us now. Sharper, no deformation (as File:Margyl1905 (cropped).JPG is a photo of a photo) and better license tags. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 11:36, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Thcollet: can you take a look at c:File:Mlle Margyl dans Samson et Dalila.jpg? I had uploaded File:Jane Margyl in Samson et Dalila.jpg here on enwiki as the source for File:Jane Margyl in Samson et Dalila (cropped).jpg, not knowing that you had already uploaded the file from Gallica to Commons. I didn't realize at the time that it was possible to get the original from Gallica (didn't see a download button) so I used the image viewer, resulting in an upscaled file. Magog has imported my upload to Commons and overwritten your non-upscaled version. I would recommend reverting File:Mlle Margyl dans Samson et Dalila.jpg to your version. I can't do it myself but as I uploaded the new version I feel at least partially responsible. I'd ask Magog, but that scares me a bit due to the history. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 15:12, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BookMarks

[edit]

I think it's the standard at enWP that a collection of excerpts of reviews from other places is not a suitable source . You have no way of knowing whether the excerpt from the view is representative., and the reader needs to see from the articles itself where the reviews are coming from. You need to cite the actual published reviews, . I' and others have commented on it before with respect to a number of your articles, and I see the situation has not yet been dealt with, so perhaps it needs further discussion. .
