Talk:Len (Tsukihime)

message: Her name is mis-Romanized in Melty Blood as Len, that does NOT make it her name. Using the Romanization that Wikipedia is meant to use, her name is Ren. Most sources BUT Melty Blood support this, and that game is notorious for mis-Romanizing names such as Wallachia as Warakia. So it comes to this...do we follow the Hepburn Romanization standards set forth for Wikipedia, and list her as Ren, or do you go with the mis-Romanize of her name in one game? To give you a hint how I think it should go, remember the example set by Ganondorf of Zelda fame...the original game mis-Romanized his name as Gannondorf, yet everything else uses Ganondorf. Guess which Wikipedia uses? Nezu Chiza 13:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, there's also the fact that other official sources tend to go with Ren over Len. Melty Blood is just a well-known example which uses Len, and because of that people take it as canon. Yet it was made by a doujin-soft group, and only later did Type-Moon integrate it into canon. It basically comes down to the question "Do you use the commonly accepted spellings, or do you use the MB ones just because they're in a well-known game?" Nezu Chiza 12:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Triple (baseball)

message: Quote: "Because a hit only counts as a triple without a fielding error or a fielder's choice, triples have become somewhat rare in Major League Baseball."
I agree with most of the paragraph, but this sentence is just bad.  I suppose that it refers to the fact that a double plus an outfield error isn't a triple; nor is it a triple when a batter doubles with a runner on first and takes third on a subsequent throw home.  But that should go without saying.WHPratt (talk) 17:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Rivera has 856 games finished according to Baseball-Reference, but 855 according to MLB.com (the difference comes from how many games finished they have for his 2002 season). You can manually check each game in 2002 that Rivera pitched, though, if you check out his game log from 2002 on Baseball-Reference. I think if you do that, you can verify each game that he should have received credit for a game finished. And by doing so, I think you'll find it's clear that MLB.com is simply missing one.

message: Hi.  I didn't tinker with it, but did note a semantic problem.  You say it "measures a pitcher's ability to prevent hits during official at bats."  A small quibble.  I would think that it does not measure his ability.  Rather, it reflect actual performance.  And performance of the hitters, albeit against him.  So, something along the lines of ...

thread_title:  Baserunner hold 

message: The article isn't really clear on how many assists you get in case of a double play.  It says one assist per out recorded.  So, let's say there's a runner on first, and the batter grounds to short.  The shortstop fields the ball, throws to the second baseman to get out the runner, then the second baseman throws to the first baseman for the second out.  Does the shortstop get two assists, the second baseman an assist and a putout, and the firstbaseman a putout? john k (talk) 22:50, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Double Plays 

message: The article claims "An assist is credited to every defensive player who fields or touches the ball (after it has been hit by the batter) prior to the recording of a putout, even if the contact was unintentional."
However, Major League Baseball's official scorer's guidance offers "Rule 9.10(a)(1) Comment: Mere ineffective contact with the ball shall not be considered an assist. “Deflect” shall mean to slow down or change the direction of the ball and thereby effectively assist in putting out a batter or runner."
It seems saying that an assist is awarded for unintentionally touching the ball is not only possible, but a given contradicts the official scorer's guidance. That said, I'm only an amateur scorer, and I would appreciate an expert weighing in before I make an edit. Matthew.cole (talk) 00:48, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Win probability added

message: Should this article discuss limitations of the WPA statistic? Does the statistic unfairly weigh the offensive accomplishments over the defensive ones?
For example, in the second game of the 1972 World Series, the Athletics were leading the Reds 2-0 in the bottom of the ninth inning. The leadoff man for the Reds singled, and then Denis Menke drove a long fly to left, and Joe Rudi leapt up and caught it. The game ended with the Athletics barely ahead, 2-1, and it was commonly accepted, at the time, that Rudi's play was the key play of the game.
The WPA does not agree that Rudi's play was the key play. Its estimate is that the play's WPA was 7%, which is high, but no higher than the play that led to the last out, and significantly lower than the highest WPA of the game, which was a single by "Catfish" Hunter in the top of the second (12%).

thread_title: Proposed Oriental Orthodoxy project

message: :George Chryssides gives in his Historical Dictionary of New Religious Movements (2nd ed. from 2012, art. 'BRITISH ORTHODOX CHURCH.') the following description of this denomination:
:A Christian Church in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, the British Orthodox Church was established by Jules Ferrette (1828–1904), who was consecrated in the Syrian Orthodox Church, becoming bishop of Iona and its dependencies. Contacts with Syrian and other Orthodox churches lapsed, however, and British Orthodoxy became regarded as uncanonical. A revival occurred under the leadership of Hugh George de Wilmot Newman (1905–1979), known as Metropolitan Georgius of Glastonbury, who emphasized the history of British Christianity prior to the Great Schism of 1054. In 1994, his cousin, William Henry Hugo Newman-Norton, was consecrated as metropolitan of Glastonbury, and the organization gained recognition by other Orthodox churches. The British Orthodox Church now forms part of the Coptic Patriarchate of Alexandria and has jurisdiction over the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. In common with other Orthodox churches, it uses the Gregorian calendar for its dating of festivals. Its liturgy is in English, and it has republished a number of theological writings in English. Membership is estimated to be between 5,000 and 10,000, with 12 churches in the United Kingdom. There is a British Orthodox Fellowship for seekers who do not wish to commit themselves to full membership of an Orthodox Church.
However:
# The consecration and mission of Jules Ferrette is alleged and not a matter of fact; see the Jules Ferrette WP article 
# Independent Bishops: An International Directory (p. 294) states Newman was Newman-Norton's uncle; see the Abba Seraphim WP article
# the 2009 Melton's encyclopedia of American religions states Seraphim was patriarch of Glastonbury from 1979 to 1994; see the Abba Seraphim WP article
# Seraphim was no consecrated patriarch in 1994, rather in 1994 he joined the Coptic Orthodox Church and ceased calling himself patriarch
