thread_title:  External links modified 

message: An editor reverted here, saying "He's not Israeli, and "playing" in Olympics that'll probably not happen isn't more noteworthy than his MLB career." As to his first point, he is incorrect. As the RS source indicates, he became an Israeli citizen. That makes him an Israeli. Perhaps the editor is confused - one does not have to be born in Israel to be Israeli. As to his second point, nobody said that being on an Olympic team is more noteworthy  than his MLB career. I am not certain what led to that comment. It is, however, noteworthy, both in the text and in the lede. Because .. Olympics. The crystal ball fact that the Olympics will likely (in both our estimations) be postponed to some later date than originally scheduled does not change that. That's why for example we don't heavy handedly delete the article for example on Baseball at the 2020 Olympics. That would not be appropriate. --2604:2000:E010:1100:A5AE:3654:8F39:9794 (talk) 21:20, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The revert was a mistake, as I didn't see that there was a source. I'm still going to move out the Olympics thing because he has played in MLB, has not played in the Olympics, and with an IOC board member saying the Olympics will be off and countries starting to pull out of it, we have to wait to see if it'll happen at all. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:54, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Mu - you can't crystal ball as a reason for your edits, first of all. Second of all, he is on the Olympic team as of now - that is notable, and it is not necessary for him to have played in order for us to reflect that. Third, the talk is not of the Olympics as you say being "off." The talk is of the Olympics being postponed. Big difference. To a date TBD. Your saying that "we have to wait to see if it'll happen at all" has no basis. We have RSs reporting what is in the article - which you deleted. Your and my "job" is to faithfully report what the RSs report - not to crystal ball what changes may take place, which - even if they do take place (a postponement!) do not change the reason to reflect the information at all. 2604:2000:E010:1100:A5AE:3654:8F39:9794 (talk) 22:04, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
