Talk:Monroe Monarchs

message: I removed a claim that Monroe won the NSL in 1932 and lost to the Craws in the '32 Negro League World Series.  According to Holway's The Complete Book of Baseball's Negro Leagues, Nashville won the 1st half and Chicago won the 2nd half, with Chicago winning the playoff 5 games to 3 -- and there was no NLWS played that year, nor was Pittsburgh in any league that year.  The original claim has been in the article since its first draft in 2005.  I could find nothing backing that claim and the external links were dead.  Unfortunately, it looks like the historical marker quoted text from the Wikipedia article verbatim -- unless the Wikipedia article was copied from the marker, I can't tell since the external links are dead.  Either way, it is all very fascinating indeed. --64.85.221.56 (talk) 14:22, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Clark and Lester's The Negro Leagues Book says that Chicago won the first half and Nashville the second, with Chicago winning the play-off 4–3. The cumulative standings, which don't show the first-half, second-half split, show Chicago in first place with a 34–7 record and Monroe a half-game behind at 33–7. BRMo (talk) 15:17, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The only thing I can figure is according to this, it states "Back in 1932, Monroe earned national headlines in the sporting world when it hosted the Negro League World Series. As part of his series called "Louisiana Baseball Stories," Charlie Whinham discovers the former location of Casino Park where the Monroe Monarchs played the Pittsburgh Crawfords, and Satchel Paige was not the only Hall of Famer playing that day." Since the Craws had a 54-32 non-league record (according to Holway) and Monroe was so close to a piece of the NSL title, maybe the two teams challenged each other to a so-called World Series for braggin' rights or something.  Oh well, let them have their claim on the historical marker; it makes for a fine story.  --64.85.221.56 (talk) 16:03, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Little corella

message: I guess the distribution of a species is always fairly dynamic and at best you'll only be able to come up with a snapshot for a given year.  Bird species do seem to migrate based on climatic conditions (or other reasons) and evidently this specie is now appearing in Melbourne (contrary to the map).  This is confirmed by the Victorian Department of Primary Industries' information on Victorian cockatoos. So that does make the map in this article a little out of date. -Jeza 04:20, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Which of these two images should we put in the taxobox?
For the existing image:
*Feather structure is more visible
*Most common feeding pose and location
*Hints at communal behaviour by showing the others in the background
*Good contrast with background (new pic has bright tree background)
*Colours are faithful (To me the new one appears oversaturated, compare with other pics)
For the new image:
*More dramatic pose
*Full lighting (existing pic has shadowed backside)
*Tail colour exposed
P.S. Canberra is not within our range map.  Who is the authority that decides range maps... can we update it?

Talk:Dobie Moore

message: For some time this article has shown Moore's death date as December 1 1977.  A note recently posted by respected Negro League researcher Gary Ashwill concludes that this date is in error. Another, unrelated person named Walter James Moore, who was white, died in December 1977 in Georgia and was confused with Dobie Moore.  (See .)  A follow-up note concludes that Dobie Moore was very probably residing in Detroit in 1942, but no death date has been confirmed. () Based on this new information, I propose changing the death date shown in the article to "?"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BRMo (talk • contribs) 22:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The birth and death dates cited in the ESPN Encyclopedia are also wrong, having been "researched" by someone without any verification.  Moore's death date is still being sought by baseball and genealogical researchers, but to no avail yet (emphasis upon "yet", as we have not given up the fight).  While the ESPN data can be considered a source and looks like an authoritative one, it has been shown to be incorrect. -- Couillaud 15:31, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Home Run Johnson

message: Quote the article, bold markup added:
* (Riley.) Grant "Home Run" Johnson, Personal profiles at Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. – identical to Riley (confirmed 2010-04-13)
The annotations mean that I compared this online source with the entry for Johnson in Riley's print encyclopedia (which is the preceding listed source); I found them identical and so made Riley the parenthetical author. 
As of 2012-05-22 the cited webpage gives Riley's encyclopedia as "Source:" but neither cites the Johnson entry nor acknowledges quotation. In fact the online article is a reprint of the Johnson entry with only minor changes in the opening italic and bold display of data.

Talk:Little eagle

message: There isn't much in this article, so I am proposing for now this additional section. Material is taken from Simpson and Day and various images on MangoVerde:
Identification.
In flight, from underneath, the Little Eagle has a very distinctive whitish 'M' - shaped under-wing pattern. This pattern is very similar to that of the Whistling Kite, Brahminy Kite and Square-tailed Kite, which are all also of a similar size. However, of the four, it is the only one that has a striped tail; and a small crest at the back of the head. The crest can generally only be seen when the bird is sitting at rest; in flight, the crest streamlines and is virtually invisible. The Black-breasted Buzzard has a similar crest but is otherwise of very different appearance.
In its first year, the plumage of the Little Eagle is relatively plain, becoming more streaked with age. By the second year, the coloring has changed into the adult form of either a Light or a Dark morph.

Talk:St. Louis Stars (baseball)

message: *Proposal: St. Louis Giants article and St. Louis Stars (baseball) article merged into one article at St. Louis Stars (baseball).
*Rationale: The Giants were sold to a new owner after the 1921 season; the new owner changed the team name to the Stars and retained most of the players.  Per Holway's Complete Book, 5 of 8 of the primary batters (plus 1 backup) and 3 of ~7 primary pitchers were retained; this is a relatively typical retention rate for most Negro league teams of the era.  Other than the ownership, ballpark and name change, it is the same club.  I would like to discuss merging the 2 articles into 1, and if anyone has a reliable source stating that the Giants were dissolved and the Stars were created from the ruins and they are in fact different clubs, but are just merely "related", I will be satisfied.

Talk:Boston Royal Giants

message: Currently, Philadelphia Giants is a redirect to this article.  From 1902-16, the Philadelphia Giants were an important Negro league team located in Philadelphia.  The Boston Royal Giants (at least according to this article) appear to have been organized about 1923.  Because the "Philadelphia Giants" name apparently was sometimes used for the team, there may have been a connection of some sort, but it isn't clear to me what it was.
If there are no objections, I propose to change the Philadelphia Giants page from a redirect to an article about the 1902-16 Philadelphia team. I would put in a disambiguation header so if anyone went to it looking for the Boston Royal Giants article they would still be able to find it. Is that agreeable? BRMo 02:44, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The Presidential election results for the Delmarva as a whole are skewed Democratic by including all of New Castle County. Is there a way of calculating the results south of the C&D Canal? We do not know if any precincts cross the canal without seeing the voting-district maps of Cecil and New Castle Counties. Heff01 (talk) 01:22, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Heff01, you are absolutely correct that including all of highly populated New Castle County, when only a small portion of it lies within the Delmarva Peninsula, skews the presidential election results.  The issue was discussed at length here: User_talk:Kingofthedead#Delmarva_Peninsula.  I'm pinging  and , who participated in the discussion.  It would be difficult to compile presidential election information for the Delmarva portion of Cecil County and New Castle County since 1960, particularly since precinct boundaries change after every decennial Census.  Since relatively few votes are cast in the Delmarva portions of those two counties, I think that the only two options that would not be overly onerous would be (i) exclude election date from Cecil County and New Castle County completely or (ii) eliminate the presidential-elections data altogether.  I would prefer the former, since I think that election results are relevant information for the section that discusses the (unlikely) possibility of Delmarva becoming its own state.
