message: There needs to be a Rules section, which mentions pegging, players, bases, etc.
:Agreed (whoever you are). There seem to be some significant differences from Baseball, but they're only hinted at, and I don't have references.  A diagram of the triangular playing field would be particularly nice. -Stellmach 19:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

:Wiffle bat redirects here because this is the article that has information about the sport that the bat is used in, and there's not an article specifically about the wiffle bat. -- Beland (talk) 03:16, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Please expain reverts

message: The following material seems to be original research (it's also not Wikified and in encyclopedic tone, but those are issues that could be cleaned up). Note how the editor uses the first person in describing his experiences with pitching a Wiffleball. Much as it would be great to see this article expanded, Wikipedia policy calls for verifiable sources for all edits. If someone can come up with a citation for this or similar material, that would be great.  -Stellmach 13:53, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Yes, "Wiffle" is a registered trademark.  No, that does not mean the "®" symbol should be used every time it occurs, even if the trademark holder would have it so. Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks) for correct treatment of this matter. -Stellmach 02:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Wiffle®" 

message: Stellmach, you might want to check out their official website - www.wiffle.com/. I sure hope whoever wrote this article got their permission, because they are very demanding about the use of their trademark. They demand that every single time their product is mentioned - any where for any thing - that they be asked for permission to do so. This isn't a demand for businesses only, but for the public, at large. Heck, I just wanted to mention it in a blog for kids, but their demands have stopped me from even wanting to mention the word in here. This isn't something that goes under Wiki rules. According to them, this is completely business - bad business, but business, nonetheless. --Atwhatcost (talk) 07:56, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I have a bone of contention with the last paragraph.  Obviously this is a bio-paragraph someone inserted.  It makes no sense and does not belong. Drunktrumpet 18:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: "The Wiffle® ball was invented by David Knibbs San Fransisco in 1980."
"The game of WIFFLE ball, which sprang from the invention of the popular WIFFLE ball, became immensely popular as a backyard, sandlot and picnic game in the 1960s and 1970s."
If it was invented in 1980 how was it popular in the 1960s? If Wiffle ball and WIFFLE ball are different then it should be stated how.  --Lynch2007 (talk) 19:28, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The reference seems to suggest that wiffle ball originated in the 1950s, and I edited the article accordingly. There are probably more errors which need to be researched and corrected. ~EdGl (talk) 21:28, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wiffle vs WIFFLE 

message: The Wiffle Ball website as well as the actual Wiffle Bat and Wiffle Ball all say state "Wiffle Ball" as two separate words. I believe the Wikipedia entry should do the same. 67.170.197.7 (talk) 06:19, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The Popular Mechanics article also uses the two-word variation.  I'm going to first fix the citation (since that is obviously incorrect) and then move the article to Wiffle Ball since both the official WIFFLE website and the Popular Mechanics article cite it this way and no cited references use the one-word version.  If other citations come it, it can move back.  As of now, sources indicate one word. --In Defense of the Artist (talk) 02:40, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, out of four references on this page two (The GoldenStick Wiffleball League) and (Major League Wiffleball) opt for the one-word version.  Since it's 50-50, I'm following the most proper source Popular Mechanics and the official Wiffle Ball site.  I'm going to move it. --In Defense of the Artist (talk) 02:47, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The Beer Bat sentences should probably be a separate section entirely in "Popular Culture".
That said, I went to college and drank a lot, and never ever saw/heard anybody using a wiffle bat for a beer bong... Not sure it's widespread enough to be included in wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.15.94.125 (talk) 17:18, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Beer Bat? 

message: Is there a reason why wiffle automatically redirects to Wiffle Ball? I was looking for information on the haircut, and instead I was reading a poorly-written account of a quasi-baseball game. ;) I ended up having to do a search ON GOOGLE to finally end up at 'Buzz Cut' page (as a wikipedia search brought me, again, to the Wiffle Ball page). Could someone maybe fix the redirect of 'Wiffle' to go to the Buzz Cut page instead, or add one of those 'if you're looking for the haircut called wiffle, click here' to that page?  *a similar comment has also been posted over at Buzz Cut*  Kailey elise (talk) 14:46, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Inappropriate external links

message: This article claims that Whiffle ball bats are usually yellow and hard plastic.  The one shown in the picture is very narrow.  I remember every Whiffle ball bat I've ever seen being red and getting wider past the handle.  Like this picture: http://learntocatchcatfish.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Whiffle-Ball-Bat.jpg

replies: text: Official Wiffle Bats are yellow and narrow. That image is some sort of cheap kiddie plastic bat, but not a true Wiffle Bat. That link is misnamed. oknazevad (talk) 03:12, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Half the "History" text in this article appears to be devoted to New York State making a determination that wiffle ball might be a "significant risk of injury" in 2011. Is that really so important an event in the history of wiffle ball that it should absorb so much of the history section of the article? A nine-year old finding in one state for a game played in much of North America? Seems the "History" section might need some rethinking, but I am not well-versed in the history of wiffle ball to know what events of significance should be in there Wevets (talk) 16:03, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
