Talk:Infield shift

message: This paragraph refers specifically to implementation against left-handed hitters, so I have clarified this in the first sentence.
The last two sentences of the paragraph were original research where the only citation was raw data on FanGraphs. (In addition to being unsupported, it's probably not true. Most hitters pull ground balls and hit fly balls to the opposite field: there are no citations showing that Joe Mauer in an outlier in this regard.)
Also edited the "Ortiz Shift" section to bring the subject of the section ("left-handed designated hitter David Ortiz") from the middle of the second paragraph to the beginning of the first paragraph.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.208.20.29 (talk) 17:19, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Implementing the shift': clarified and removed original research 

message: Raising suggestion that Ortiz Shift be merged into infield shift, as a subsection. There is very little that links to the Ortiz Shift, and Ortiz is now retired. It should be an easy merge without loss of info/insight. Comment welcome. Dmoore5556 (talk) 04:50, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for commenting. With Ortiz being retired the term, and bespoke defensive alignment, are no longer in common use. The shift used against Williams and the shift used against Ortiz are relevant aspects of the history of the shift; distributing that info is not particularly beneficial. Weight in discussing Ortiz shift would be on par with discussion of the Boudreau shift used with Williams, which is covered in the article without issue. Let's see what other editors may say. Dmoore5556 (talk) 21:25, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because it may be out of use, that doesn't mean it can't be included (such as the field goal in rugby). The difference is that the Ortiz shift has more sources covering it which makes it of sufficient length to have its own page, the Williams one never had it's own.  The C of E   God Save the Queen!

replies: text: I'm all for covering the Ortiz shift, just not by splitting it away from the discussion of infield shifts. The Williams shift was just as notable back in the day; that the Ortiz shift may appear to have more coverage (and there aren't really that many citations on the page) is WP:RECENT.

Talk:Town Team Baseball

message: The article for Town Team Baseball (Nebraska) was nominated for WP:Speedily delete because there was no notable content on the page. I'm concerned that the articles for ND and SD follow that trend. Rather than simply delete that content, I would suggest merging them, along with the article for MN, into the main article. That will create an imbalance of content, but still give other editors something to work from instead of simply deleting the article. – Freechild (¡!¡!¡!¡) 20:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can see the rationale for doing this, and as the editor who created each of the articles mentioned here, I would prefer to see them merged rather than have some deleted.  I think Town Team Baseball is one of the more interesting sports-related subjects in North America.  I had thought that a list of state champions would be interesting, but unfortunately the various state organizations aren't affiliated, so there's no place to go for comprehensive info.

Talk:South Dakota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame

message: I object to the proposed deletion of this article for the following reasons:
1. The museum is notable in its own context; it represents the honors of an entire state for all of its amateur baseball players and some of its professionals.
2. The museum advertises in several paper publications, is noted in South Dakota travel guides, sponsors amateur baseball functions, and is noted in roadsigns on Interstate 29 in South Dakota.  If WP is to be credibly encyclopedic, it must provide information even on subjects that aren't prominent on the internet.
3. The article now contains links to several other WP articles, and when I'm done researching it will in turn be referenced by many other WP articles.
4. The dearth of google hits is partle attributable to its location in a sparsely populated area with little tech infrastructure.  The museum's management isn't tech savvy.  As such the deletion of this article would strengthen the cycle of internet non-participation.  Basically I think it would discriminate against people in rural areas and small towns.

Talk:Data cloud

message: The author of this article does not link to any references where the term "data cloud" is used. I am not sure it is an accepted terminology. Sites like swivel.com or IBM many eyes use the term "tag cloud" to express the same idea.
It's a fairly new (March 2007 is the first one I know of) data visualization.  Similar concept to a tag cloud, but using data that's not related to tags.   In discussions on ManyEyes, users who use the tag cloud visualization for data that's unrelated to word count mentioned the need for some modifications to the phrase and layout.  Visualizations that use color to add an additional data dimension are also not tag related, so I think the term "data cloud" is accepted but rare due to its recent development.  I'll try to find some more references to it to improve the stub.WarrenA 15:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

The language's basic sound, along with a few words, was first devised by actor James Doohan ("Scotty") for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. That film marked the first time the language had been heard on screen."

thread_title:  Heroine column 

message: @Skr15081997: I strongly feel that having a heroine section adds value to an actor's stature and complements and integrates his contribution in the film. Similarly, by describing his role as a hero or as a supporting actor has more value than the name of the character, which is here superficial and even unnecessary. A name has only a significance of identification in the film when we are seeing it. In the filmography, we are more concerned with the actors contribution, as a hero or as a supporting actor or as a guest appearance.

message: In her 1986 BBC interview (link also in the refs) Rekha claims to have worked in 400 movies between her childhood and 1986 (at time marks 3:59 and 5:19). Is there anything at all to corroborate this? The count here is ~130 by the end of 1986, but it's hard to believe she could have erred (or toyed with the BBC) so blatantly, as this goes far beyond padding to get to a nice round number. Could she perhaps have included all the films in which she had uncredited appearances, like as a child extra in the background?

message: We called them simply "safeties" during the 1950s. At our school, the uniform consisted of a red cardigan sweater along with the Sam Browne belt, but that was what passed for high visibility in those days.
