thread_title: ZANZOKEN

message: Apparently, Yamcha playing baseball was something that Toriyama himself suggested to the Anime production team.  According to the Daizenshuu EX podcast #54, this is documented in the Son Gokû Densetsu Anime Guide Book.  It's a neat bit of trivia, so I'm going to add a citation. --Son Goharotto 21:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Yamcha was on a minor league baseball team. This is shown when the Z team are off looking for the rest of their members in the start of DBZ. He hits a home run out of the stadium and is apparently very good. It is unclear why he never went "pro". But what is clear is that he played baseball and was very good at it. It is very neat trivia. Either add a trivia section and delete the part where it is at now, or keep it the way it is. Maybe spice up the words a bit.   --Prede (talk) 00:22, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The link to a video PROVING he played baseball in the anime fillers http://video.aol.com/video-detail/dragon-ball-z-yamuchas-baseball-fight-hd/1445928458  Also I would like to thank whoever edited the article to put the baseball thing where it is now and wrote it up nicely. They wrote it better then I could, but I clarified it was SHOWN in an episode or two. You can change that however you like, but clarify please it was shown in the show.

thread_title:  Yamcha's baseball career 

message: Why do you keep deleting this dōjinshi??? It is a masterpiece ad you will never find such a good DBZ fan Manga (and it is all about one character, Yamcha).
*Indeed it is a masterpiece.  I'm not arguing that.  But it's not official, QED, we can't use it.  Otherwise we may as well put up links about any halfway-decent fan fiction. Thanos6 21:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

message: In this article it says Yamcha got strong enough to hold his own against final form Frieza. Is this stated anywhere, or is it just fanon? User:Mr. Blonde 139 06:04, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is very "possible" becuase at the end of the series they all progessed a HUGE amount. It is NEVER stated though how high his "power level" is at his strongest point. Freiza says his is "over one million" but that is known as more of an estimate. It was acually closer to 800,000. Can anyone check to see what his last "stated" power level was(if it was even stated?) It is possible that he could hold his own against Frieza at Yamcha's strongest point, but probally "impossibe" to prove enless it is stated direclty, somewhere in the show.Prede (talk) 00:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vs. Frieza 

message: How come this article has been cut down like an introduction of him and basically some links same with the Tenshinnan article i read both of them frequently and everything said in them was accurate towards what happened in the show, ok wikipedia don't like people's terms of use for example above "beat the crap out of" then change that don't delete practically the whole article, this article now is basically pointless as it doesn't tell a person looking up yamcha anything about him apart from "he was in Dragonball Manga" WOW come on what was wrong before? noticed wikipedia are combining articles aswell now... no need just getting a bunch of hate lol  cheers sorry about my views but surely you can understand :-) (it's especially irritating seeing how good wikipedia used to be Jonoridge 10:30,  —Preceding comment was added at 10:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The making of this article 

message: I rephrased the baseball part because how it is written right now makes it appear that it was never shown that he played baseball. Sense he IS a baseball player that should be stated, I can't see how writing it the way it is right now informs people, it actually makes it quite confusing. The article goes from saying what he looks like, and  how tall he "IS" to the way the baseball thing is written now. It probaly should be STATED he is a baseball player. Please re-write it in a different way. Make some type of compromise or I'll try to later. As for the "original content", I cannot see how stating what the last episode in Dragonball GT shows us is anything close to original research by someone.  It is clearly shown in the cannon episode of Dragonball GT, it probally should be written down, that is  a very important peice of information. BTW I am only trying to improve this article I do not mean to harm it in any way. I am trying my best to comprose in how things are written and such, but you just rewrite it anyway. I know your just trying to make the article better too though. Please respond to this, and Merry Christmas. Prede (talk) 05:16, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your re-statement is a bit odd, partially because the link doesn't support your claim. Why this change in the first place? And of the DBGT episode, it was written as WP:OR. I won't remove that again so long as it is said in an encyclopedic tone. Merry Christmas, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 06:40, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I added the GT cameo info again. You can rephrase that anyway you like, that is fit for wikipedia. Here is a link to Yamcha playing baseball by the way  : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkdMZ1Mfz0s. It's just a video, but it shows him playing. Maybe this scene could be described? That way it makes it clearer that  he is a baseball player.Prede (talk) 04:43, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Baseball rephrasing and "original content" 

message: I'm putting this article on hold for GA. It's very close to GA, just has a few issues. First, the web references need to be fleshed out, including author info, the title of the site, the last date it was accessed, etc. Whatever information about the source you can give, give it. Also, the last section seems a bit disjointed at the end. Rather than cramming random info at the bottom, try organizing it into prose and adding information to put it in the right context.

message: Should this be here? Sense it's a fan made manga if it's not very well know then it probally shouldn't even be mentioned. But if it is very well known then I guess it could be kept. It just seems out of place is all. - Prede (talk) 01:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  In dealing with reception sections I find it best to use "decent" sources, even if they may be considered "unreliable". There is no reason to follow the book on this, of course the sources should still be pretty good. There hardly ever is a good relaible source for sections like these. I find nothing wrong with those sources, if you want to add that part again. My only problem with it is that if the manga is not well known then it should not be mentioned, but seems to be rather well known. Should we add it again? - Prede (talk) 04:13, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dragonball Z: Elsewhere

message: I re-read this article and I STILL think the baseball part is worded oddly. So I made a sandbox and this is what I came up with for that part. As of now it suggestes that he isn't a baseball player, but that the creator wanted him to be one. Tell me if my new wording is good. 
New:
Yamucha is shown to be a baseball player in the anime filler material for Dragon Ball Z. This was suggested by the series creator Akira Toriyama.
Current:
Series creator Akira Toriyama suggested that Yamucha would be a baseball player in anime filler material for Dragon Ball Z.
