# Talk:J. T. Realmuto

My impression is that using this template to link multiple stats website would violate WP:NOT and WP:EL. I've not looked around much, but my guess is that this is an external links template that was created without consensus to make an exception to the general consensus that more than one such link should be not added to articles in most situations. If there's been any discussion at all, could someone point to it? --Ronz (talk) 20:02, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
@Yankees10: I'd also question how well it follows MOS. --Ronz (talk) 20:14, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Well, it doesn't violate those. This template has been around for over 10 years. Each link provides it's own set of unique features that the other ones don't. Thus making it incredibly useful to provide links from all of these. You should bring this to WP:Baseball if you have a problem with the template not here.-- Yankees10 20:23, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
Sorry, but that's not a response that would sway consensus.
So no discussions that you know of? --Ronz (talk) 20:27, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
I have no idea if there is a consensus or not. Go to WP:Baseball you'll get more responses there.-- Yankees10 20:33, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
I've started a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Baseball#Baseballstats_template. --Ronz (talk) 20:42, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
I removed the link to the Baseball-Reference minors stats, which is available from the Baseball-Reference stats page. Links that are not unique fail ELNO#1. --Ronz (talk) 02:13, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Changing his team in his bio to include Phillys 2019-Present Cmace11 (talk) 21:01, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

While a number of RSs are pointing out that he is under team control through 2020, and that is reflected in the RSs used as refs, two editors have now deleted it (the first editor, without any edit summary, and the second saying it does not relate to the trade -- it doesn't have to, it relates to the subject of the bio (though it is mentioned in many articles about the trade, such as the the three he just deleted as refs).  Very puzzling. Is this another example of an editor saying my view is best, and the RSs should not have covered it, or covered it in the articles about the trade, because I would not, so I'm going to delete it because I know better than the RSs whether it is notable? --2604:2000:E010:1100:C578:59BE:A8EA:EF1E (talk) 04:28, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Instead of listing the plate appearances after the batting average stat, I would list the at bats figure instead.  This is because batting average is calculated from at bats, not plate appearances.  This goes for the whole article.

I would take out “with the option for a young prospect to take over in the future.”  Either that, or mention who voiced this possibility.  Theoretically, any position has the option for a young prospect to take over in the future.

I would mention that Realmuto helped Jacksonville win the Southern League championship.  (It’s implied lower down, but I think it’d be best to state it up here too.)

Nicolino’s been almost as good as Realmuto in the majors, too! [Sarcasm]

Didn’t realize the Phillies went so long without winning Silver Sluggers!  They still had a lot of good players at least through 2012.

### Personal life
This section looks good!
Just minor fixes; let me know when you’ve made them!  Also, thanks for the Balester review! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 18:31, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Of course! Balester is a name I heard thrown around when he was a Nat (my grandpa was the one family member who we never got on board with the Phils), but I really knew nothing about him. J. T., on the other hand -- this one was a labor of love, and thank you very much for reviewing it! I think everything has been addressed! — GhostRiver 22:14, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
Looks good now, passing! Excellent work! I should have time to give Tyler Skaggs a look soon, as well. Hope it makes it to FA! Also, I may be nominating Willie Mays for FAC again sometime soon. It didn't get promoted the last couple of times, and the last time, the big issue seemed to be that no one was commenting on it. No pressure, but if I do nominate again soon and you have time, your feedback would be appreciated! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 00:03, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

This was both odd and, I believe, obviously improper. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J._T._Realmuto&diff=next&oldid=1116371878 2603:7000:2143:8500:CCCF:3FAC:3BCB:C117 (talk) 07:22, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

I probably agree but at the same time if you just created an account you probably wouldn't have been reverted. Just saying-- Yankees10 19:49, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
Editing as an IP or with an account should have no bearing on whether edits are reverted or not. That was an inappropriate use of rollback by Gardenkur. The edits were good faith and none of the WP:ROLLBACKUSE criteria were met. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:04, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
I don't disagree. Just giving this IP some tips because this is not the first time they have been unfairly reverted.-- Yankees10 21:09, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi 2603:7000:2143:8500:CCCF:3FAC:3BCB:C117 and Yankees10 . I thank both of you for the remarks and suggestions respectively but in the ocean of edits misjudgements do happen. You can resubmit them or I will need sometime to revert it. Kindly understand. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 04:14, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
