replies: text: Wknight94 agrees with you, so I'm leaving this discussion alone, as I evidently misunderstood. This kind of thing is why I generally avoid category stuff except for the bare minimum required - as I should have here also. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 23:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Which articles are categorized in list categories?  I'll fire up WP:AWB and fix them.  —Wknight94 (talk) 23:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The section about the Notre Dame/Giants came is a mess and completely unencyclopedic.  Personally, I can't make head or tail out of what the facts are, or what, exactly is being argued.  But somebody is obviously trying to differ with a standard story about Sockalexis' career and is sort of incorporating the argument into the text.  Someone who actually knows the details of the story should fix this. Carlo (talk) 20:57, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article currently says "his baseball career ended for good in 1903", and for citation links to an article from baseballlibrary.com that says he "left the game in 1903".  Note that this does not refer to his major league career (which ended in 1899).  However, his page on baseball-reference.com lists him as being on the 1907 Bangor White Sox (class D minors).  Generally speaking I trust Baseball Reference, and I'm guessing that what happened is something like "Baseball Library found an article from 1903 saying that he retired from the game, but didn't notice that he attempted a comeback later".  But since I don't actually know which (if either) is correct, I'm just marking it as disputed rather than changing it. --Rwv37 (talk) 07:52, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
