Hey man, I'm editing the Marlins 2007 season so I'd appreciate if you didn't change my format. Thanks. Bumppoman 21:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, then, if you're going to do it then go ahead. Take my name off and put yours on the management list. Bumppoman 21:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I live in New York, and I'm a big Marlins fan. It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I don't want to constantly have my work reverted by you and others. Bumppoman 22:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think organizing players alphabetically is a more efficient means of sorting. As long as users can choose to sort them however they want by clicking the buttons, there's nothing wrong with that. Also, what's wrong with having all batters listed? Bumppoman 00:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Wild Card

Yeah, I know. However, it would be a TFD, as it is a template. But it should still be deleted for now, nonetheless. I had an exhausting day today, being a linesman for two games today, and when I came home and saw that on 2007 Milwaukee Brewers season, I seriously felt I was gonna die. This is just horrible. It was super long and has no importance now. Can you do something about this? --Ksy92003 01:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Worry About It

Don't worry about it Hornberry, I enjoy updating these stats. To me it isn't boring doing all that. 55555five55555 04:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I want to let you know that I am going to change my username. Editing those pages were very fun. Do you think we should make the statistics more detailed? We can split the work up doing that together. Hope you answer these questions on Friday when you get back from your vacation. 55555five55555 07:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Season Statistics

I didn't really mean to split up the statistics, I meant to added detailed things like stolen bases, on base percentage, runs scored etc. With two people doing this it won't be that hard updating these things. Also for the pitchers we can add things like innings pitched, runs given up etc. And by the way my username will probably be LADodgersAngels fan. Dodgers and Angels are the two teams I like the most, but I put Dodgers first because I liked that team first. I don't really like one team more than the other. I like whichever team that plays better. I hope you would upgrade these statistics soon. 55555five55555 06:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way we also should put a summary of all the scoring plays if you like to. It would probably be hard, but one of us could update the statistics and the other one put the scoring plays of the game which makes this much easier. 55555five55555 07:00, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When you said about the season summaries, I think that is a good idea, but wouldn't it be better if we also put game summaries. We can start doing that when you get back from your vacation on Friday. 55555five55555 07:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added some extra statistics. It is your choice to keep them or not. Try to think of some new ways to make the 2007 Los Angeles Dodgers season article to become better. LADodgersAngelsfan 08:05, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am deciding to put the game summaries starting tommorrow not May 1st. LADodgersAngelsfan 08:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2007 Los Angeles Dodgers season

Oh my gosh, are you freaking blind? I don't mean to be mean to you, but what the hell is wrong with you? You reverted me for no reason. My edit was improving the article. I think the only reason you're doing this is because you for whatever reason hate me. Why else would you revert perfectly good edits? Here's your answer: THERE IS NO OTHER REASON !!! My edits are improving the article, and your hatred towards me is damaging it for no reason. So it is you who needs to stop. Please stop reverting my edits and please stop damaging the article and my reputation. --Ksy92003 21:14, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Let's begin my explaination

Alright. First thing I noticed was that you said "You also removed nessecary info for me to complete Mark Hendrickson's starting games stats." This, itself, violates WP:OWN. First of all, that info isn't necessary to complete the stats if you can get them from the espn.com site. Second, that hidden comment isn't necessary at all.

Next, what do you mean "Why can't we have updated standings?" We don't have any disputes about the standings, so I don't know where you got that from.

Third, I don't member ever saying that I approve of "expanded" stats. I approved of the re-inclusion of stats in the articles, but not for people to add whatever statistical categories they want. So I don't know where you got that from, either. And either way, Runs and Innings Pitched aren't important statistics for the relievers. Those two categories don't separate the good relievers from the spectacular relievers.

So next time, don't leave a comment on my talk page without a case. You don't have one. And stop wasting my time by having me reply back to your comments. Thank you. --Ksy92003 23:32, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh-uh-uh I never approved expansion of the categories of the stats. I said he could add the stats whenever he wants, not that we could add whatever stats he wants. There's a huge difference. So again, you're wrong. Look carefully at his talk page. --Ksy92003 23:43, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It looks fine with me, but 92003 recently alphabetized the names and I'm not sure if you like it that way even though I think it is okay. By the way, I didn't have much time editing Wikipedia during the CST testing. I pretty sure you have it too. I'm sorry that I didn't have time.

RE: Stats

Sort them by player name. If you wouldn't mind, could you go into the article and edit the hidden comment, changing it to "Player Name" instead of "ERA"/"Batting Average"? And make sure it's by their surnames, also. --Ksy92003 04:41, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Hey. I was looking at your recent edit summaries and noticed something. When writing your edit summaries for the edits you made to 2007 Los Angeles Dodgers season today, the edit summaries are "Batting - update," "Starting pitchers - update," "Relief pitchers - update," "Batting - update," and "Pitching - update." The problem with this is that when someone clicks on that directly from your edit summary, as I have done, it doesn't take you to the section because there is no section titled "Batting - update." Hopefully, you know what I mean.

Could you please, in the future, when writing your edit summaries, not put the word "update" within the automatic section link? In other words, don't put the word "update" between the /* */ . Do you understand what I'm asking? --Ksy92003 01:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was afraid that I didn't explain it clearly enough. Okay, you know when you click on an article to edit a particular section? Well, that automatically generates an edit summary. For example, for me, it auto-generated "/* Edit summaries */ " as the edit summary. Now, based on actually looking at the edit summaries, for some of your edits to the Dodgers article, you clicked to edit a particular section, but when you added in your edit summary that you updated the section, it appears that you added the "update" within the /* */, so it looks like "/* Batting - update */ ". For that to automatically take someone who clicks on that to the Batting section, the edit summary should read "/* Batting */ update". This will take a user to the "Batting" section on the page, but the edit summary that you made would take you to the "Batting - update" section, which of course doesn't exist.
This isn't really that crucial, but to be honest it's bothered me for a while now. Since I'm constantly checking the updates on all 30 articles, as well as game logs, standings templates, etc., being able to go directly to the section directly from the "recent changes" page preserves a couple seconds of time every time I click to go there. Now, does what I'm saying make sense to you? What I'm asking is just for a simpler way of getting to the section that has been edited. As it is an edit summary, it isn't that important. But it shouldn't be that hard to correct. I know I'm gonna sound redundant, but I've got to ask one more time (to make sure that you remember to answer this question when you reply back): Is what I just said understandable to you now? --Ksy92003 05:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For example, see my edit summary at Talk:2007 Los Angeles Dodgers season. What I typed was,

The way that you have done your recent edit summaries, this would be typed in as

I underlined the differences in this, which is just the location of the */, and in the second one, the inclusion of a hyphen. First, I hope that I have accurately figured out how you are writing your edit summaries. If not, then I'm sorry. But second, I hope that (if I did guess right) that you can try to correct this so that the format matches the first example. Thanks. --Ksy92003 05:52, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's what I did when I posted on your talkpage. I'll try to change this in the future. Just to make sure I get it, could you check up on it on Tuesday morning when I update the stats from Monday's game? Hornberry 14:34, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The edit summary that you left at my talk page does work. I'll continue to check and if anything wrong occurs, I'll alert you. Sorry for being so critical about this, but as this is such a minor detail I thought that it would be fairly easy to correct. --Ksy92003 22:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stats

But what I don't understand is why does that have to be there? You can just as easily manually edit it to make it alphabetized. Why does that need to be there to alphabetize it? I don't get it. --Ksy92003 (talk) 21:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well then... why did you revert me? My bad, I assumed that you reverted me. Never mind. --Ksy92003 (talk) 21:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Updating stats

Don't worry about it. Thanks for alerting me, however. If somebody else does remove it, I'll add it again and tell them that you'll be right on it when you get the chance. --Ksy92003 (talk) 02:31, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Worry I'm Editing It

I have time to update the stats. I didn't have a lot of time a couple of weeks ago, but I have time the next two days. LADodgersAngelsfan 00:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are all of your stats updated? LADodgersAngelsfan 02:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Before I meant today's game. Sorry for not telling you. LADodgersAngelsfan 02:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You said you are going to become a politician in my talk page, right? Since you are studying to be a politician, are you in college?

Thanks for tell me that. By the way I'm only 12 (7th grade). It was kind of hard for me at first when it came to the stats, but it is very easy for me now. LADodgersAngelsfan 02:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who is responsible for Wikiproject Baseball? If User:Ksy92003 is can you tell him/her that you want to sign up for the Dodgers page next season. If you have time, I hope you would still be able to edit the Dodgers page next season. LADodgersAngelsfan 02:40, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just asked Ksy92003 if we can edit the stats for the 2007 All Star game less than ten minutes ago. LADodgersAngelsfan 02:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Were you talking about the California Standard Tests I also take in mid May? The tests only go up to eleventh grade and when you go to twelveth grade, I heard that you would take the college tests. LADodgersAngelsfan 02:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the stats are almost updated. LADodgersAngelsfan 02:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's already updated in mlb.com. It takes a while for it to be updated in espn.com. LADodgersAngelsfan 02:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to put each person that leads a category (only Dodgers) in the Dodgers page LADodgersAngelsfan 03:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if I have time to edit the Dodgers page. I already told Ksy92003 that. I hope I would be able to finish my homework in a short amount of time. LADodgersAngelsfan 03:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On the edit summary it said welcome, but I meant to put 2007 Los Angeles Dodgers season. I also welcome users so and it also remembers evertything I put as an edit summary. I just hit the wrong button. LADodgersAngelsfan 03:31, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pitching Stats

I'm very confused on the Mark Hendrickson problem you and Ksy92003 discussed once. I know that one is for Mark Hendrickson as a starting pitcher and one is for Mark Hendrickson as a relief pitcher. I did not edit the pitcher stats. I tried to contact Ksy92003, but he didn't tell me anything about it. LADodgersAngelsfan 05:15, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks...

First, thank you for all your help in backing me up in the articles. As [I believe] you are the same age as me (correct me if I'm wrong; I'm 16), surely you can understand all the work I have that prevents me from editing.

One more thing... why exactly don't you have a userpage? --Ksy92003 (talk) 06:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For your userpage, just put stuff about you. Stuff like your hobbies, interesting stuff about you, like where you've traveled. Wikipedia:Userboxes is a great way to display this kind of stuff. You can also look at other user's user page to get more examples. --Ksy92003 (talk) 06:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Leaders

Did like the idea of the leaders? I thought of it a couple of days ago. Also thank Ksy92003 because he helped me make them in a table. I don't think I would have a lot of time starting on Monday because I have a bunch of homework and projects. LADodgersAngelsfan 07:41, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage

Ksy92003 told you to add userboxes in you userpage. You can add the template saying that you are part of WikiProject Baseball like the one in Ksy92003 and my userpage. You can also put the amount of edits you made on the Dodgers page and the amount of edits you made on the game log. Here is a device you can use to find out the amount of edits you made on the Dodgers page, the game log, and the amount of edits you made in Wikipedia:

This user wastes far too much time editing Wikipedia.

Wikinews

Do you enjoy putting information for the Dodgers games everyday? You can add news in WikinewsLADodgersAngelsfan 01:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't finish up my thought I was trying to tell you that you can make a page in Wikinews on only a single game. Instead of just stats, we can do single game summaries and box scores. I would give you an example of a news page about a baseball game. LADodgersAngelsfan 03:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is web site is an example of a Wikinews article. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/MLB:_Ninth-inning_rally_lifts_Mets_over_Cubs. LADodgersAngelsfan 03:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you will still use Hornberry as your username in Wikinews. LADodgersAngelsfan 03:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics

Based on your statistics it says you made 170 edits on the Dodgers page and 35 edits on the Dodgers game log.

I don't hvae much time recently like you. I have the end of the year activities next week like you are having it. Even though I have a lot the end of the year activities, I had a lot of hard end of the year projects to do. This is the first time I had that much within five school days. In December, right before winter uebreak I had 3 projects due. From the Wednesday which is two days ago till next Tuesday, I have five projects due. One on Wednesday, two yesterday, one tommorrow, and one on Tuesday. I also have my last and final assignment due on Wednesday I think. I hope I would have time soon. LADodgersAngelsfan 04:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikinews

I posted the box scores in your talk page in Wikinews. LADodgersAngelsfan 00:31, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hallelujah !!!

Honestly, that's how I reacted when I checked my watchlist and saw that you had finally created a userpage. To be honest, it kinda depressed me to always see your name in red letters... you finally have one. Congratulations. If I could give you a barnstar simply for creating a userpage, I probably would. --Ksy92003 (talk) 23:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I got the layout for the userboxes from another user. I can't recall whom I got them from, however, but you can do whatever you want. And even if I didn't grant you permission, you still could because of the GNU Free Documentation License, which means that a user's contributions may be copied/edit by another user. --Ksy92003 (talk) 02:55, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edits/Wikinews

You have 400 edits now. I don't have a lot of time like you. I probably would have time on Wednesday and Thursday but I would be rather playing video games so I agree with you about Wikinews. Have you planned how we're going to make a page. We definitly should put the box scores. Should we also add the stats of the game? I planning to add the scoring plays too. Tell me if you think of anything special to add in it. Congratulations on making your userpage.

Time for Wikipedia/Wikinews

I have a project due tommorow and I think that is the last assignment of the school year. You said we're doing it on July 1, but I get out of summer school on July 27. I would try not to waste anytime when I work on my homework. LADodgersAngelsfan 03:18, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
