message: Poo-T, I didn't think that section was too POV, seems like a pretty basic perspective on player popularity - and interesting at that.  Thoughts?  aww 13:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Playing Career

message: I'm thinking about adding back a little more of the deleted description of the WBC.   I'm not sure why it was taken out; it seems like a pretty big deal that Japan got by Korea after losing to them twice, as it would have been a really big deal had Japan lost to Korea.  If there is a reason not to put a (shorter) version back, let me know.   aww 16:39, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Managing Career

message: Removed the 527 HR number as the only source I could find to support it is one guy's personal number-crunching.  If it can be sourced, please return it to the article. aww 21:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems fine to leave that comparison out, so long as readers are aware of the differences between playing conditions via the Baseball in Japan article.  One person's number-crunching can be adequate depending upon the level of credibility.  I don't know.24.30.247.212 (talk) 00:47, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: MLB Speculation

message: Is there any standard sports infobox that can be used instead of the MLB one?  It looks pretty stupid to have his debut say "MLB Debut" when he never played there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Obama Fan 08 (talk • contribs) 04:52, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox 

message: I find no information that explicitly says Oh's father came from Taiwan. The Chinese and Japanese wikipedia all suggest that he is a Chinese from the Zhejiang province. We need to either find reliable sources to support the claim that Oh's father came from Taiwan, or remove this claim at once.

thread_title: Whether or not Oh's father was Taiwanese

message: When it isn't?  I repeatedly see things in this article like "world record in a top league", which is obviously a POV way of trying to draw equivalence between a Japanese league record and others, when the Japanese league's records are not comparable, as the parks and equipment are different and that players are less skilled.  It is not a world record by any measure except that of Oh's fans.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.204.29.215 (talk) 22:58, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You can asterisk it if you like and provide your complaints using WP:RS but it's called a world record because that's precisely what it is. — LlywelynII 13:52, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I removed an entry attributing pitchers avoiding pitching to foreign players Randy Bass, Tuffy Rhodes and Alex Cabrera to "in accordance with an imperial decree from Emperor Showa. This practice was continued under Emperor Heisei" due to a lack of source on this allegation. This allegation linked two dead links to old Japan Times articles as sources. One 2013/09/06 article by Jason Coskrey, and one 2008/10/31 article by Robert Whiting. Although both articles are long since removed from the Japan Times website, snapshots from old internet archives show that neither writer at any point, makes any mention of any imperial decrees to protect Oh's record. An independent search of Japanese language sources similarly produces no evidence of such journalistic accusation. As it stands, there is zero source to this allegation that the Japanese monarchy was in any way involved in maintaining Oh's record.  Oddman82 (talk) 11:19, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
