message: Can anyone find a source that lists all the other managers who have won AL and NL pennants? I'm sure it's right, but I'm having trouble finding one source that lists it. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 20:09, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Managers to Win AL and NL Pennants 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Alvin Dark's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "reference":
From Sal Maglie: 
From Albert Pujols: 
From Buster Posey: 
From Johnny Antonelli: 
From Bobby Richardson: 
From Todd Worrell: 
From Herb Washington: 
From Willie Mays: 
From John Montgomery Ward: 
From Dick Donovan: 
From Moe Drabowsky: 
From Al Worthington: 
From Tommy John: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 20:39, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Alvin Dark]] 

message: Yes, I'm aware that there is no hard-and-fast rule for recommended length of Wikipedia articles. But I happened to have noticed something here, when I clicked on a link in this article to Ducky Schofield, and from there to Ducky's son Dick Schofield.  If you add together the length of the articles about the two Schofields - who played a combined 33 years in the Major Leagues - and then multiplied that number by 10, it would probably still make for a smaller article than this one here.  Alvin Dark's Wikipedia article goes into excruciating detail about regular season highlights of each and every year of his career.  The Schofields get a brief overview, and that's it.  How do these things happen?  This article here is waaay too long.  And the other referenced articles seem to be far too succinct.  Is there such a thing as a happy middle?  And no, I don't want to spend hours trimming down this article.  I can't imagine reading the whole thing, let alone editing it.  Seems like torture.
