Sources for Batwing

Hello, good work on Batwing, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Can you list in the article any websites, books, or other sources that will allow people to verify the content in Batwing? You can simply add links, preferably as the inline citations, or see citation templates for different citation methods. Thanks! Lupin|talk|popups 22:47, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sandy Koufax

Thanks for your edit to Sandy Koufax, however, I reverted your change because you didn't provide a source for the quote you added (see WP:V). Please cite the source of that information so that it can be included. --Spangineer^es (háblame) 04:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Search and Rescue

Please note the thread I've begin at Talk:Search and Rescue: the Alpha Team. What is your source that the series carried the Alpha Team subtitle in its original Canadian broadcast? 68.146.8.46 13:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jackie Robinson

He had had only 4 hits in the first 6 games of the 1955 World Series. I don't know, but I'm guessing Walter Alston benched him in the crucial Game 7 and instead had Don Hoak at third base, for defensive reasons. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 13:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In his book, I Never Had It Made, he doesn't specifically address Game 7, but he says that during 1955 and 1956, he was benched a lot due to downturned hitting, and also points out that he was preparing to leave baseball, which also undercuts the myth that he was unwilling to play for the Giants upon being abortively traded after 1956. He was (as he says) no longer interested in playing. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 13:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Afterburn (Carowinds)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Afterburn (Carowinds), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello MrHaroldG2000! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 49 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Cliff Hagan - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Ray Washburn - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Ali Bales et al.

Nice edit to the Alison Bales article...but adding a sentence of content is not a minor edit as defined on Wikipedia. Looks like this has happened before. Please note the m standards here. Thanks, Decafdyke (talk) 03:52, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2013 in baseball, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page A. J. Pollock (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and added a source to back up your recent addition to June 6.
