message: Whoever keeps deleting Jeff's nickname ("Shark") listed after his middle name, please stop. I am the one who added that. Thanks GoIrish24 00:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's going to be removed until one finds a proper/reliable source to verify it. Sorry, I left that in an edit summary a couple of times. Please see WP:V, WP:RS, WP:Cite, and WP:OR --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk   00:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you kidding me? Everyone knows that his nickname is "Shark". Ask anyone, they'll know that's his nickname. Stop deleting it PLEASE. GoIrish24 00:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll make a compromise and leave a  tag text to the nickname. I've never heard the nickname, nor heard any news source identify him by it. If you claim that's his real nickname, a reliable source should turn up; this is a requirement by WP's policy. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk   00:47, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

text: No, it doesn't quite work like that :-p. Please see WP:OR. Fans and personal accounts do not qualify as reliable sources. You can look up his ND profile or something. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk   01:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Consider yourself lucky I found a source to back up the claim. Otherwise you would have received a couple of warnings for breaking Wikipedia's policies. Also, informal nicknames do not belong in the name section of a lead, like in Michael Jordan or Muhsin Muhammad  --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk   02:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW I don't consider myself "lucky" that you found a source to back me up, because I probably know all of the players on the ND football team better than you do. And why did you delete that highlight video that was on the bottom? GoIrish24 04:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I'm not an ND fan - at least my favorite college actually knows how to win a championship within an eight-year period ;-). I'm only editing this article as a baseball fanatic. The highlight video apparently belongs to the NCAA - which currently does not allow commercial websites to publicly redistribute it's content w/o proper consent. please, please, please stop making disruptive edits --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk   04:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi all! I made a change to the salary section. Previously it said that Jeff made $16.5 million guaranteed. According to the ESPN link, however, he would make up to 16.5 million *if* the club exercised the sixth/seventh year options in his contract. I changed the wording to make it a bit more apparent, but please feel free to tweak it if it doesn't sound good. Thanks, -- Irixman (t) (m) 02:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed this:
 Ryan Hand, of Boise, stated that "He really looks like he has the potential to be a big time pitcher, but he definitely needs to work on his off-speed pitches."
Who is this Ryan Hand?  He has no Wikipedia article.  Is he a notable commentator or is this just some Wikipedia editor adding his own personal scouting report? -Elmer Clark (talk) 13:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ryan Hand? 

message: I suggest this is edited to read that Jeff is "an American" instead of "American/Serbian". Under "Personal", we learn that he is of Serbian ancestry through his grandparents, and since he is not himself an immigrant it is not appropriate to identify him as "American/Serbian". There is very little in the article tying his notoriety to his heritage, but if it is deemed important in the opening, it can be stated as "an American of Serbian heritage".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.170.236.39 (talk) 23:38, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
