replies: text: The Chicago Cubs' 101-year losing streak is an entire century, currently are the only team other than the Seattle Mariners to spent the most years without winning a league pennant. The Mariners won 120 games in the 2001 season, but failed to catch a world series appearance compared to the 4-year old Arizona Diamondbacks clinched the NL pennant to defeat the Yankees in the world series. The AL's Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox awaited 85-86 years to win a world series title each in the mid 2000's, while the San Francisco Giants never won one in their time in San Francisco and the Cleveland Indians hadn't won it in 60 years since 1948. Let's mention the Toronto Blue Jays is the third team in world series history to win back-to-back world series titles (1992/93), behind the "3-peat A's": Oakland Athletics three-in-a-row championship titles of 1972-74, a third of their 9 titles mostly received when the team was in Philadelphia. + 71.102.3.86 (talk) 04:22, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Luther Williams Field

message: If anyone wants to correct this, this ballpark trails at least two others currently in use in the minors in age. Centennial Field in Burlington, Vermont, opened as-is (an earlier field on the same site having burned down) in 1922, and Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, followed in 1926. Both host short-season teams. Savannah, Georgia, opened Municipal Stadium that same year, 1926, and it was often cited as the oldest in the minors until it lost its minor-league team to Columbia, South Carolina, after the 2015 season. However, Municipal was essentially destroyed by a 1940 hurricane and rebuilt - same site, but not the same park. I imagine this source accepts Savannah's - now William L. Grayson Stadium - as the oldest (in which case it's now outdated) and doesn't count short-season teams (in which case the entry should say so).

What does Agent Green have to do with the fictional chemical weapon used by the Joker? Was Smilex/Joker Venom ever called Agent Green in the comics, and if so, where? There really should be some citation involved if someone's going to put "Smilex" in the "See Also" area, and if it's really known as Agent Green in a comic somewhere, there should be a section about it, or a disambiguation page, or something. Simply having Joker Venom and Agent Green be related because they're both organic chemical compounds isn't enough here.

Please alter this article to put the Owners, Executives, and Field Managers in chronological order.  The current alphabetical order is not desireable, relevant, or useful.
69.251.230.0 01:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone suggested merging this list with List of Oakland Athletics managers.  I disagree.  Most manager lists exclude owners and executives because the managers themselves amply cover a large topic, and since the role of a baseball manager is very different from that of an owner or executive.  Adding owners and executives just muddles the article.  And the Oakland Athletics have had plenty of managers to generate an adequate standalone list (even though one key manager was also the owner).  The owners and executives should have their own list. This is a good start, and should probably be renamed "List of Oakland Athletics owners and exectives". Rlendog (talk) 14:47, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

We noticed you had created a page for our company.  We assume you saw our recent high profile newspaper and online articles.  We wanted to thank you for your efforts in writing the page but unfortunately due to errors in some of the source materials the information in the wiki page is not correct.
SLI Systems specializes in site search with specific products for ecommerce sites.  We don't provide any "vertical" search technology.
SLI is a US company that was started in 2001 by a group of both US and New Zealand founders.  We have more than five stockholders.  SLI Systems has more staff than is listed on the wiki page.  As a private company we don't disclose exact numbers but it is more than 25 and is growing every month.  
Our headquarters are in Silicon Valley (Cupertino, CA), with a smaller office in San Francisco, CA.  Our European head office is based in London, England and our Asia/Pacific office in Christchurch, New Zealand.  
The companies mentioned as clients are not correct, a better small sample would be; NBC, Tupperware, Hot Topic, Dick Smith Electronics and Qantas. There is a larger list on our web site http://www.sli-systems.com/customers.shtml which we add to from time to time.
