message: Problem with this template. I like that it now collapses and gives you the option to "show" or "hide" but in the "show" option it wipes out the bottom portion of the page. The same thing happens with the Indians franchise box. Is this a problem with the browser or the box or just me? Thanks.69.68.238.142 18:49, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Please leave Mike Hargrove as part of key personnel.
The Tribe is making a big deal out of bringing Hargrove on board, thus it's justifiable to include him on the list.
Thank you.

replies: text: They may be doing that for PR purposes, but we keep "Key Personnel" strictly defined as Owner, GM, President and Manager at most, or else it could become a slippery slope with everyone in the entire front office being included in the template. --Muboshgu (talk) 03:37, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Chapman's death should be included in the culture and lore section.
There's the historic nature of being the only player to die in a game, and the effect on the team is also very important...it opened the door for Joe Sewell to come in, and he went on to have a Hall of Fame career.

replies: text: Please demonstrate how this is a part of the team's "culture and lore" section. From History of the Cleveland Indians, it seems to have made little to no impact on the team. Simply paving the way for Joe Sewell isn't sufficient, or else Wally Pipp's "headache" would be entered in  – Muboshgu (talk) 16:37, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

message: No. 455 was never used by a Cleveland Indians team member, and the team website via mlb.com also does not recognize No. 455 as an officially retired number.  Listing a PR move on the part of owner Larry Dolan — who, ironically, had little to do with the sellout streak in the 1990s under Richard Jacob's ownership — only diminishes the "retired numbers" section which is actually intended to highlight legendary players like Bob Feller and Larry Doby.   Levdr1lp  (talk) 21:41, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I can verify that charlesaaronthompson's color codes are accurate.  I found an alternate source (from the team's own MLB.com sub-site) for the official red & navy team colors and compared it to hex codes #002B5C & #E31937.  They match.  Levdr1lp / talk 01:57, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

message: The common, long-standing convention for listing rivalries in team navboxes is to pipe the rival team's name in a link to the rivalry article, regardless of the rivalry article's title/name.  Please review :Category:Major League Baseball rivalries- you will see that all MLB rivalry articles, regardless of title/name, are listed in team-specific templates in this manner (Subway Series is an exception as it has historically applied to more than one rivalry).

message: I've added Trevor Bauer's bloody finger to the culture and lore section because it was an iconic moment of the Indians' playoff run.  The Indians themselves have put his blood soaked jersey on display at Progressive Field, so it shows that the team itself considers it a part of their lore.  Should be no issues here.

message: I have changed my position regarding Frank Robinson's inclusion in the "Culture and lore" section (see previous discussion here). The team's on-field performance during his tenure as manager is more or less irrelevant w/ respect to the historic importance of his hiring (i.e., the first African American manager in Major League Baseball). Adding wikilink accordingly. Levdr1lp / talk 21:57, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
