message: I noticed that the cleanup tag has been placed on this article.  What exactly needs to be cleaned up?  Maybe the Franchise History section should be a little better organized, and we probably don't need to have the entire roster under "Current Stars", but is that what the person who placed the tag there intended? -- 68.12.101.60 22:48, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello, Can someone definitively confirm that Johnny Oates' #26 was retired by the Rangers?  Their website does not list it as retired and the only news about it states that it will be retired, but not that it has been retired. No other website, other than wiki or wiki copycats, list the number as retired. If it has been officially retired, please provide a source.--CrazyTalk 20:06, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know if I can find a definitive source in print, but I watched the Rangers on TV all year, saw footage of the retirement ceremony, and saw the banner for the retired number in the stadium.  Johnny Oates' number 26 is definitely retired.  -- 68.12.106.243 05:50, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, now I have found a source.  It's on the Baseball Hall of Fame's list of retired numbers.  Here's a link:  -- 68.12.106.243 05:58, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I would like to remove the Quick Facts section, as it appears to duplicate the information presented in the Infobox.  As far as I can tell, the only information in that section not located elsewhere in the article is the mention of the Rangers' postseason futility.  Thoughts?

message: Why is there a separate article on the Rangers hall of fame?  Shouldn't we just include it in this one?  Are two articles necessary? Texas Rangers Hall of Fame--Kevin 04:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems like it is okay to have separate articles. Texas Rangers (baseball) is already big as it is. Kingturtle 03:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree to the fact that this article is pretty large as it is, but does the hall of fame really merit a completely separate article?  I think that anyone specifically looking for a Texas Rangers Hall of Fame would be looking for the law enforcement one, and that a baseball fan would expect it on the team page.  Just my opinion.  I was going to go ahead and merge them, but since there seems to be a dissenting voice, I'm going to go ahead and wait for consenus.--Kevin 05:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think they should be merged.  Two separate articles, especially considering how short the Hall of Fame article is, seems friviolous. EHoffman 20:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In the Minnesota Twins article, the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame was merged with the Twins statistical records and milestone achievements article. That's a possible solution for this problem. Smarterthanu91 05:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

text: The (baseball) Rangers HoF may warrant its own article if we expand on the enshrinement process and where people can visit the hall. I'm going to the Ballpark this week, so I'll see if I can get some more info. Caknuck 05:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is it not allowed to add blogs/sites covering the Rangers when other team pages allow it? I've attempted to add the Newberg Report, an excellent Rangers resource, as well a couple other sites. 70.254.47.73 03:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not that it's "not allowed," but Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collections of links either. I'm also a little skeptical of these additions because the first add was just of a blog at MVN.com, which doesn't appear to me to be the best choice; Newberg Report would be a much better link to add, since it's far more well-known. Tell us why you think each of those links belongs here - something about the sites' popularity or readership, or the quality of their writing. I'd also like to know that your purpose here isn't just to promote the MVN link. | Mr. Darcy talk 15:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Why not link to Grant's blog then? There needs to be a line somewhere, although I think you are saying you agree with that. Would you be OK with including Grant's and Newberg's for now? | Mr. Darcy talk 03:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The section on the renaming of the park back to Rangers Ballaprk appears to be directly lifted from the Rangers' web site.  -- Gridlock Joe 02:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Can someone with some knowledge do a writeup on the Texas state lawmen? -- Zoe
Well, we now have an article at Texas Rangers (law enforcement).  Perhaps this should be made into a disambiguation page, with the sports team moved to something like Texas Rangers (sports)?  Or is the sports team now so very much more famous than the law enforcement agency that I'm the only one who would think that this was the place to find something about the legendary lawmen? -- Infrogmation 21:07, 30 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: That surprised me too.  I do think it is worth noting. --68.12.101.60 03:24, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: Way too much detail about this years playoffs on this page.. That information is already available on the 2010 season page and the various pages for the playoffs.. Should be removed from this page or certainly shortened a lot.. do not need game by game summaries on this page.Spanneraol (talk) 03:41, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: i agree. There are game by game summaries in each playoff section, and the summaries of the playoffs can be added to the 2010 article.Red3biggs (talk) 14:25, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
