message: How is this guy anything other than Canadian? He was born in Canada...
to the above poster:
According to the wiki-page for Black Canadian, "Some may refer to black Canadians as Afro-Canadian or African-Canadian, although this term is not as prevalent as African American in the United States."
I suspect that the writer of the page started with "African-American" and then changed it. Regardless, I have never heard the term used during my 23 as a Canadian resident. If it is necessary to indicate a person's race, they may be referred to as "black," but only in a situation where his/her race is particularly relevant. I'm not sure it is here. I'll leave it as is for a few weeks, and if no one balks (ha!) I'll take it out, or see if there's a more relevant position for it (for example, he is probably one of a select few black members of the Canadian Walk of Fame). Wencer 20:17, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they mean black, and yes, nobody uses the term 'African-Canadian'. Is it relevent? I have no idea. WilyD 20:51, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I have assessed this as a Start Class because it is contains a fair level of detail and organization, but lacks references in many sections. I have assessed this as low importance, as it is a highly specific topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 01:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment

message: I have deleted former note 1 to fit the article and infobox, which now give the 1942 birth year following SABR and baseball-reference. The Hall of Fame biography does give birth year 1943, as did the article before 17 Jun 2009. The Fergie Jenkins Foundation website is mainly blocked for me. --P64 (talk) 19:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

message: In the legacy section it says only two other pitchers allowed more home runs. I'm thinking it should be fewer home runs.
Only Robin Roberts and Jamie Moyer allowed more home runs over a career than Jenkins. 74.88.29.2 (talk) 03:12, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
