message: Ive seen the current picture up for a while, so it being of unfair use, or a copyright problem is out of the question.  If there is a problem with the pic, it would of been taken off wikipedia a long time ago.  Whammies Were Here (PYLrulz) 10:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

message: In the interests of stopping the edit war on colors in the infobox, I have semi-protected the page for the next week.  Please take the time to discuss and come to a consensus about what you'd like to do.  - Philippe | Talk 21:52, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that the page is unprotected (no beef about that now), but I figure that since Lenny was prominent on both teams, it would be better served that the colors in the infobox stay neutral, rather than Mets Orange and Blue, or Phillies Red and Blue.

thread_title:  Colors in Info box 

message: I re-added Dykstra's Mets colors since he currently serves as a consultant to Mets owner Fred Wilpon (he was even considered as the team's manager before they hired Willie Randolph).  This is footnoted in the Retirement section.  Since he is currently affiliated with the Mets organization, then he should have Mets colors. Jjj222 23:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Does make some sense, but what about a player that had played for a certain team for his entire, or most of his carrer, then serves as an advisor or consultant for a different team?  Since you mentioned that, that does make a little more sense, but I would be afraid of that line of reasoning to a degree if this were to come up with a different player.

text: Thats why I suggest on the neutral setting that I had been reverting to lately.  That way there is no battles between Met and Phils fans.  Anybody agree with me on a neutral color setting for the info box rather than Phillies or Mets colors in general?Whammies Were Here (PYLrulz) 10:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Yeah, but he was also very popular as a Phillie.  Thats why I would keep it at neutral colors.  That way, theres no argument at all between Mets colors, and Phillies colors. Whammies Were Here (PYLrulz) 06:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

text: No, there have been others that have re-reverted to Phillies colors, not just Yankees.  Im sure theres others Phillies fans uninvolved with this that would want to switch it to Phillies colors, and Mets fans that would do the same.  Thats why I would propose a neutral colored infobox.Whammies Were Here (PYLrulz) 14:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In section titled "Business Affairs and Bankruptcy," I tagged a sentence fragment which seems like it should be part of the previous sentence. (It's in paragraph that begins with "In August 2009...").
Just wondering if anyone knows the facts in detail and can help clear/clean this up, because frankly I don't feel like scouring media reports about this. Thanks, sports/bankruptcy/crime experts! Kinkyturnip (talk) 05:15, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
