message: I think we should try and create an article for every season of the Marlins, just as has been done for the Minnesota Twins. That way, people can get more information on a specific season that is not listed on the main page, such as rosters for those seasons, etc. Tamajared 20:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: As true as this phrase may be for describing the 1997 season, I recommend that we not use it.  This a very common accusation in baseball, especially against the New York Yankees.  It's somewhat loaded language and shouldn't be used if we are to keep this article in the neutral point of view. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 17:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not only that, but the Marlins had a smaller salary than the Indians that season, and were only seventh in team salary at 47 million.  Yes, that is more than their current palty 15 million, but it is hardly Evil Empire 200 million dollar level spending. .  The fact that this troll User:146.74.1.99 IP address which has already been banned multiple times User talk:146.74.1.99 chose to change that line doesn't make it true. Thanks for catching that bit of NPOV. CodeCarpenter 18:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we really need to list the 1998, 1999, and 2000 yankees in the succeeded by? Usually, these just have the next year of data, not the next three years.  I know this shows that the Marlins prevented a five year sweep by the Yankees, but it is more of a brag of the Yankees than a simple move to the next year of the World sereis, which the template is supposed to represent.  Calling for discussion, will revert if no comments made.  CodeCarpenter 17:07, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

However, I do think the entire "Stadium/relocation issues" section (which is what this new page basically repeats) should be split off to its own page.

THe pages will just be receated again everytime there's new stadium news, which is probably going to be every day for a few weeks. Realizing that, I think leaving the article where it is is the best bet for now. If the deal collapes soon - a real possibility - then I'll support moving the page to Marlins stadium and relocation issues or the like. I'll try to put a strongly-worded hidden note at the top of the New Miami stadium‎ page to discourage the instant-AFD crowd, and encourage them to read and discuss on the talk page first, which I'll set up soon. - BillCJ (talk) 23:18, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The article is confusing due to inconsistency concerning the city/name of the club: Florida Marlins vs Miami Marlins.  
Much of the language in the article uses the name "Miami Marlins" as if the team is currently referred to this way.  However, MLB.com refers to the team as the Florida Marlins as of today, April 4, 2010.  I believe the article should be modified to use the name "Florida Marlins" as the club's current name, and a new section should be added to discuss the name change.

message: As you may have noticed, the Florida Marlins have had a healthy revenue of around $50 million for the past three years, contradicting their "we are not getting enough money to sustain a team" alibi. It has been leaked that the Marlin's front office has pocketed most of the revenue sharing money while paying next to nothing for their new ballpark and also never investing most of said money into long term contracts. There are numerous articles on the Internet from the Miami Herald for use as citation (please look it up on Google news). Can somebody create a section on this article (and possibly the New Marlins Stadium article) that covers this controversy?

text: why did WP move the Florida Marlins page to Miami Marlins instead of creating a new page for Miami Marlins? The precedent is that when a major-league team moves, a new page is created instead of moving the existing page. E.g. Vancouver Grizzlies & Memphis Grizzlies. Montreal Expos & Washington Nationals. Charlotte Hornets & New Orleans Hornets. Atlanta Thrashers & Winnipeg Jets. Seattle SuperSonics & Oklahoma City Thunder. This is even done in some cases where the team moved before WP would have had an article about the team. Such as Houston Oilers & Tennessee Titans.

replies: text: Apparently an admin needs to fix that, because I keep taking a look at the edit page and it shows the updated data, but I keep refreshing the article and it still shows "Miami Marlins 1993-present", which is inaccurate. Kyojikasshu (talk) 03:15, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I hate to nitpick, but as presently constituted it says "2012-present"; it is presently 2011. Could a compromise be reached: changing it to "Starting in 2012" or something similar? Again I hate to nitpick but 2012-present is an example of the paradox of "Future-to-present"; 2012 is in the future, but the event is on going in the present - 2011. --Boston Burkenation (talk) 03:48, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  New uniforms 

message: I am not sure where to put this, so I sincerely apologize if this isn't it, but currently many of the players on the current roster - Emilio Bonifacio,, Omar Infante, Aníbal Sánchez, Josh Johnson, etc display the "Florida Marlins" (i.e. teal) template for their infobox; these obviously need to be changed (I bet it's being worked on as I type this article) but I thought I'd help; how would I go about assigning a color to the Miami Marlin template (currently, it appears to be quite similar to the Free Agent light gray)? --Boston Burkenation (talk) 05:45, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; I'm in no position to change the Marlins' template, but the current one seems to be teal, despite the fact that the new uniforms barely have any teal at all. May I suggest orange and blue or orange and yellow? Delaywaves talk 22:38, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

text: If we go by that, then let's change the Rays colors to "Navy, Sky and Gold" then. MLB.com is just gonna list basic colors, these two list the exact colors and they are reliable graphic design websites. Perfect for citing this kind of thing.

replies: text: I've dropped my argument on the Blue Jays article because the MLB article will suffice, however on this one, this photobucket image is the best thing we've got at the moment for the exact colors used by the Marlins. I'll keep looking for an article, but right now I believe the photobucket image is the most reliable, exact thing we have. CRRaysHead90 | We Believe! 22:54, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Does anyone know where to find official HEX or HTML color codes for the Marlins? I have tried asking every source I can think of (mostly by asking websites such as UniWatch, SportsLogos.net, and even MLB's PR Department, all on Twitter), but I've been completely stonewalled. The sources I've used come from MLB.com and are here, here, and here. I've used Adobe Photoshop's Eyedropper tool (I) to determine the color, and also used Inspect Element (Q) on this image to try to determine the colors also. I'm getting frustrated because User:Y2kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) keeps undoing my edits. This user claims the HEX or HTML color for Orange is  (which would be Pantone Warm Red C). I claim it is  (which would be Pantone 1585 C). Which color is correct? Or are none of those colors correct? I am requesting help here, please. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 21:09, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Color names and sourcing 

message: For headings using the Miami Marlins colors in this article, the colors "Licorice" and "Mandarin Red" are used in headings.  This makes them easy to read.  However, in articles about the players, "Licorice" is replaced with "Diva Blue."  This makes the headings in the player articles harder to read.  Why isn't the same color scheme was used in both the team and player articles?  While we're on the subject, half of the color schemes in the headings of this article use the colors of the Florida Marlins.  This needs to be updated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thecuonz (talk • contribs) 04:43, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Color Scheme 

message: :why did WP move the Florida Marlins page to Miami Marlins instead of creating a new page for Miami Marlins? The precedent is that when a major-league team moves, a new page is created instead of moving the existing page. E.g. Vancouver Grizzlies & Memphis Grizzlies. Montreal Expos & Washington Nationals. Charlotte Hornets & New Orleans Hornets. Atlanta Thrashers & Winnipeg Jets. Seattle SuperSonics & Oklahoma City Thunder. This is even done in some cases where the team moved before WP would have had an article about the team. Such as Houston Oilers & Tennessee Titans. So why the exception here?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.81.25.227 05:07, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
