Talk:Bob Gibson

message: He was a great baseball player
In the opening, talking about his pitches, his "huge" curveball does not fit...I'm going to change it.

No problem with that, but he delivered a curve with an 18" break to Willie Horton in the 1968 series to become his 17th strikeout victim--so "huge" that Horton actually fell  back to avoid being hit.--Buckboard 09:35, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  adding color

message: there is no mention of his extensive post playing days. this seems unfortunat. If i had a good grasp on his post career activties in the mlb i would add them. anyone have them?Childhoodtrauma (talk) 15:55, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Gibson was a pitching coach with a couple different teams, but I'll have to research & see what other notable aspects there are to his post-playing career. Monowi (talk) 00:15, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article tone 

message: Wanted to let other interested editors know active editing to get Bob Gibson's article to GA status is already underway. If somebody beats me to the punch though, I'd like to request an upload of a free-use picture of Gibson for the infobox; the best upcoming opportunity I can think is Opening Day 2011, which I unfortunately don't plan on attending this year. Thanks and cheers, Monowi (talk) 00:15, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: , if his grandson is not notable, and there are no reliable sources to say that he exists, why would he be included? – Muboshgu (talk) 01:04, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

text: You have not provided a reliable source. Without one, we can't include it. In any case, grandchildren are rarely mentioned unless they themselves are notable in their own right. By notable, I mean more than just being related to a famous person. See Wikipedia:Notability to get an idea for what I'm saying. Furthermore, if the relative is not a public figure, he (and this includes the son as well) should not be named at all. --DB1729 (talk) 05:39, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bob Gibson grandson Max 

message: Bob Gibson has a living grandson. His name is Max, he was born July 7, 2010. The best source of this would be the child's mother and the child himself. Paternity was proven in 2010. Troooth (talk) 00:55, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:04, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

message: Lists his date of birth as 1935 and death 2000 but dying at the age of 84- doesn’t add up. It shows a pic of him in 2010. I’m guessing the correct date of death was 2020 which would have made him 84? 2601:40A:C380:2150:8179:FD1A:2935:FF62 (talk) 18:57, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: He died in 2020 at the age of 84. Nowhere in the article does it say he died in 2000. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:00, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
