Great job adding all these images! Keep it up! - Mischa (talk) 00:28, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

^^ I second this! Alexsautographs (talk) 10:37, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Any reason to remove when someone with impressive numbers lost out on All-Star nod - ex. the Erick Almonte article's noting that "Chris Burke was named the All-Star 2B in the Pacific Coast League in 2004" or that Jeff Nettles beat him out for All-Star 3B in 2006? - Mischa (talk) 20:14, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

My apologies, I will not do so going forward. - OldAchesAnd Pains (talk) 20:16, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for all the updates, by the way; I don't mean to only criticize - Mischa (talk) 20:34, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

I would add that you can make the file sizes a bit larger. We have typically displayed them at 160x224, whereas you have been uploading them at 126x175. You can go at least 160x, and if its bigger, it can be displayed that size on the page. Jeff (talk) 22:21, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Also: If you want to upload a new size of the same image, you don't have to make it a new file. You can use the "Upload a new version of this file" link on the file's page. Jeff (talk) 18:08, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

The Baseball Cube is wrong about Littleton - see BR Register and the 1983 Baseball Guide, pg. 327 - Mischa (talk) 00:19, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

If you are uploading a new version of the same image (larger file, better quality, etc.), there is no need to create a new page/upload with a new name. Just click on "Upload a new version of this file" on the original file's page. Jeff (talk) 23:12, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

One note - all minor leaguers, NPB players, KBO players, scouts, national team players are notable. Therefore you don't need to remove links to them. Similarly, when adding that player X's brother/son/whatever played in the minors, you can create a link to that player. - Mischa (talk) 01:04, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Are you the same OldAchesAndPains that posts on Baseball Fever? Alexsautographs (talk) 18:40, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

I am not the same person. OldAchesAndPains talk

So, you're back at the beginning of the alphabet after reaching the deep C's? By the way, I love what you're adding to player bios; I'm just editing for typos and consistency. Philippe (talk) 13:41, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Please comment on BR Bullpen:Featured Article Candidates/1990 Montreal Expos and BR Bullpen:Featured Article Candidates/2010 European Cup. We're not ready for a new featured article yet, I think, but it's good to have some in reserve. - Mischa (talk) 16:14, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
