Talk:Billy Ripken

message: I wrote the text about the different versions of the F Face card, and i am 100% certain of the white-out and marker versions.  However, is my memory correct about the airbrushed version?  If not, please correct.--Duke33 7 July 2005 20:42 (UTC)
:What was the expletive written on the card? I can't remember now. Unless it's really bad I think it should be mentioned. We have plenty of curses in WP. Also, is it true the expletive was written by his teammates to embarass him? -R. fiend 17:10, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I added them. We have lots of obscene words on WP, even images of kama sutra. I didn't add the picture, but rather a link to it. If anyone wants, they can add it to the page. I've given more details on how the words "fuck face" came to be as well as actually putting the words in the article.--69.156.207.170 16:31, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: 1989 Fleer card

message: I reverted the removal of the image, since the cover itself is specifically discussed in the "Playing Career" section. As such, the fair use claim is legitimate. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 19:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: SI Image

message: There is a wealth of detail about the infamous 1989 Fleer card and how the picture came to be taken in a shiny new article from CNBC commemorating the 20th anniversary of the release of this card.

A motivated editor could use it to genuinely expand both that section and the main article. - Dravecky (talk) 07:44, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Why does fuckface redirect here? I arrived here by querying Google for define:fuckface. That doesn't seem right. --oKtosiTe talk 07:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: From the article: "In 1989, Ripken's Fleer card showed the player holding a bat with the expletive fuck face written in plain view on the knob of the bat." --Damian Yerrick (talk|stalk) 11:17, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The subject has gone by the first name of Bill for quite some time. He released a book in February 2020 with his first name Bill. https://www.diversionbooks.com/books/the-state-of-play/ He's even addressed as Bill on his MLB Network profile. http://m.mlb.com/network/personalities/?id=41537560 No one calls him Billy anymore. The decision to revert the title back to Billy is just another in a long history of bush-league moves made by those in charge of Wikipedia. No wonder it's still dogged by credibility issues.
