Talk:Alexander Cartwright

message: I've added this to the Baseball WikiProject.  I've labled as "Start" class because, while there's information here, it's fairly unsourced and there are some legitimate concerns with the accuracy (see above comments). I've labeled it as "High" importance because, as this man is "another" purported inventor of modern baseball, we want to make sure that it, as a basis for a lot of baseball to come after him, is accurately represented. -Sliver7 14:01, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The opening paragraph says:
: Alexander Joy Cartwright (April 17 1820 – July 12 1892) was officially credited by the United States Congress on June 3, 1953, with inventing the modern game of base ball. Cartwright was a bookseller in Manhattan, and a volunteer fireman. Cartwright founded the Knickerbocker Baseball Club (after the Knickerbocker Fire Engine Company) in 1842. [<ref> tags redacted]
Firstly, given the context of "base ball", shouldn't the "base ball" wikilink be piped to Vintage Base Ball and not the article pertaining to the modern version? It is talking about the Knickerbocker Rules, invented in 1847, after all.  Given that baseball as we know it wasn't even invented until 1890 or so … Micahbrwn 04:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: : Alexander Cartwright settled on the Island of Maui in 1851 after debarking from the Peruvian bark Pacifico. 
removed because my sources say he was in Honolulu by then and the rest of his family arrived in 1851.

thread_title:  sources 

message: Removed Find a Grave (also duplicated in external links) from the reference section. Long standing consensus is that this site fails one or more of the following;
*1)-WP:SOURCES; Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.
*2)- WP:NOTRELIABLE; Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts, or with no editorial oversight.
*3)- WP:SELFPUBLISH; Find a Grave is user edited and uses anonymous or pseudonymous editors.
*4)- WP:SPS; This includes any website whose content is largely user-generated, including the Internet Movie Database, Cracked.com, CBDB.com, and so forth, with the exception of material on such sites that is labeled as originating from credentialed members of the sites' editorial staff, rather than users. Find a Grave is not currently specifically named as is IMBd but falls under "and so forth". Rational dictates that Find a Grave, while not listed by name in WP:SPS, certainly falls under the criteria. Otr500 (talk) 21:17, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Don't add url links or pdf file links onto the contents or Wikipedia articles or image captions. Here are my advices for you: either create a separate article on the photograph (there are articles on wikipedia about photographs and paintings, use those for examples) or add the two sources you have as external or further reading links at the end of the article. Please look at :Template:Citation] when adding sources instead of just putting in the links. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:35, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

text: What you were writing look like a footnote? You have to find another way to integrated into the text or it just looks weird. I have changed it to a footnote with the sources you provided.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 21:03, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
