Talk:Jon Lester

message: Do we really need to keep changing his article after every start? That whole last paragraph is unimportant to everyone besides Red Sox fans (of which I am a big one)--Thomas.macmillan 14:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:JonLester.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:JonLester.jpg

message: Last I checked, there is nothing wrong with summarizing information later in an article in the opening paragraphs. In other words, it makes sense to briefly mention the no-hitter, and elaborate on it further later in the article. Samer (talk) 04:21, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I personally think that the text about his recent no-hitter should stay where it is. It really doesn't have to be in the lead.--RyRy5 (talk ♠ wikify) 05:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup. That's the way to go. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Sounds about right. The major issue seems to be those who think that essentially the entire box score for the game (an exaggeration, I know) belongs in the lead. A mention is certainly legitimate, with the details where they are now. --Kinu t/c 07:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: No-hitter

message: I put the mention of Varitek's record in the article because it's been mentioned in numerous articles about the game, and it's not that much of a tangent. (It's not far removed from arguing that Randy Moss' TD record shouldn't be mentioned in the article on Tom Brady.) Samer (talk) 15:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course it's mentioned in numerous articles about the game, and that's exactly why it belongs in the Jason Varitek page. There's no reason to go into tangential discussions about cancer survivers in general, about the weather in Boston, and about Jason Varitek's records. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 15:25, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Should the fact that its Varitick's fouth caught no-hitter be mentioned in the article

message: Just as a notice, when I have some time, I'm going to rework the "Career" section to be much more chronological (e.g., putting his lymphoma diagnosis before pitching in the WS, etc.). Samer (talk) 18:07, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
