thread_title: Baseball card

message: Fox is a "12-time All-Star" according to the Hall of Fame site. Info-Box says "15x All-Star". Yankees 10 has changed the baseball player Info Boxes (and articles), and here to "15x All-Star" and deletes all my corrections. Fox was chosen to be a Major League All-Star 12 years (AL Roster 12 years)-- — Preceding unsigned comment added by YahwehSaves (talk • contribs) 22:49, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Fox didn't die from "skin" cancer and the source used in the article just says cancer. He died evidently from years of tabacco use in his puffed up cheek. Another source says Lymphatic cancer. YahwehSaves (talk) 02:03, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Skin cancer is the underlying cause of death. Here is one example of the sources specifying skin cancer: . Most advanced cancers spread to lymph nodes, but the cause of death (both officially and in most press mentions) would usually be listed as the primary site of the cancer. When a person dies of a heart attack, there is a cascade of events that will occur, including arrhythmias, but we list heart attack as the cause of death. It's the same thing here. Tobacco use is a risk factor for many cancers, but it's not a cause of death in this sense. I appreciate at least this discussion and chance to explain though.

replies: text:  His death report would state his cause of death in medical terms, somehow I doubt it would say "skin cancer". Anyway, I adjusted the death part according to the references. Basically I think he died from "cancer" back then. No need to say too much about it here and glorify this terrible thing. YahwehSaves (talk) 03:21, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: When we have sources that mention his cause of death in both general (cancer) and specific (skin cancer) terms, why are your personal doubts or thoughts enough to justify changing the from the specific one to the general one? This kind of thing is what people are talking about when they tell you that you are not following WP norms. It's probably also what people are referring to when they email me and tell me that it's pointless to argue with you. EricEnfermero (Talk) 03:35, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure that respect is consistent with the first post in this section: "tabacco (sic) use in his puffed up cheek." EricEnfermero (Talk) 07:42, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Tobacco causes lung cancer and mouth cancer.   Really bad that Fox didn't stop in time, he was a good man. Everyone who knew Fox as a player more or less knew the cancer he got probably came from that tobacco since he seemed to use a lot for a very long time as seen by looking at his baseball cards, photos, and biographies. The Fox article isn't about me so why keep making these negative excuses that aren't in good faith here for slandering me here. You can't use me for that purpose by making attempts to deceive others so they can go against me to please any of your "email" senders and yourself. This kind of thing you're compelled to keep on doing here against me and elsewhere is not a good thing to do for anyone. YahwehSaves (talk) 01:05, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
