Talk:Zack Greinke

message: The Greinke-to-Milwaukee deal is far from official; at this stage it is just a rumor, and in my opinion unworthy of this article until further information comes into light.

replies: text: It is indeed not official, and details can change.  Last night I read Yuniesky Betancourt wasn't part of the deal.  We can put a note in about it, as it's getting serious coverage beyond pure rumors and speculation, but I had the page protected to ensure nobody says he's a Brewer until he actually is, because this may not happen. --Muboshgu (talk) 17:48, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

text: Brewers closing in in Greinke is about as clear a title as one can get to saty that it is not official. --Muboshgu (talk) 18:00, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Potential Milwaukee trade 

message: This article isn't long enough to justify three pics in the body.  Which one or two should stay?  --Muboshgu (talk) 20:25, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Too many images 

message: Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that :File:Zack Greinke on July 29, 2009.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 23, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-01-23. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng  {chat} 17:46, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

message: There are subjective opinions about a "bloated ERA" and such. It reads as a sport column, not as a wikipedia article. I would like to see some more factual observations

thread_title:  A lot of editorializing on this page 

message: In the infobox, we already have an image of him pitching, which is obviously the type of image we want there. Ideally, we'd get an image of him pitching for his current team, the Brewers, but we don't have one yet. Anyways, in one of the sections below, there's another image of him, but he's not really doing any important in it, and it shows with the same team and in the same year as the infobox image (the Royals in 2009). I really don't see a need for the second image, because it really adds nothing to the article that's not already in it. Therefore, I'm removing it. I only posted this here on the talk page because it would be too long for an edit summary. Yankees Expert (talk) 20:49, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There is such a thing as image overkill, but this is not it. An article of this length can easily handle two pictures. It'd be nice to get a picture of him as a Brewer, sure, but that doesn't mean we should take out other pictures. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:05, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I get what you're saying, but we only have two pictures of him, and they're both of him playing for the same team in the same year. In one of them, he's pitching; in the other, he's just standing up. I didn't remove the second image just because of "image overkill;" I removed it because it doesn't really add anything useful to this article that isn't in it already. Yankees Expert (talk) 21:10, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

text: On the other hand, this image is an image of him from the 2009 All-Star game, and I feel like that would contribute more to the article than just another image of him with the Royals. Yankees Expert (talk) 22:37, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: That All-Star image doesn't seem to be of the highest quality. Besides, he's also wearing a Royals uniform there, so that doesn't add to the variety of images. There actually is an image of him with the Brewers available on Commons. I'll swap out the other image for that one. I am purposefully leaving the infobox image alone, as it is one of Wikipedia's featured pictures. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:14, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing the second image 

message: Is there no better photograph available of Greinke to be used as the primary picture? The current one is almost comically bad. Doesn't indicate the team Greinke is on, or the team he was pitching for at the time, doesn't show his face or reveal what he looks like, doesn't demonstrate anything about his pitching style, etc. I mean, let's be honest, it's a picture of the guy's butt. Surely we can do better.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iknowthegoods (talk • contribs) 04:27, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Zack Greinke. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

message: The listed IPA pronunciation guide and respelling do not match. The IPA pronunciation listed would be respelled more like "GRING-kee." The listed "GRAIN-kee" is more in common with what seems to be the common pronunciation, but I don't have any sources. Either way, I think these two spelling guides should match.

replies: text: , I am watching NYY/ARI right now, and they showed Greinke walking down the tunnel out of the stadium. But, it hasn't been confirmed beyond that to us, and we need 100% airtight confirmation, especially with the amount of money allegedly changing hands in this deal. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:47, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Zack Greinke trade 

message: It seems that the main photo for Grienke looks edited. Is that so? Looks AI generated and should be changed if so 172.58.62.230 (talk) 17:32, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasn't AI generated, but I think it was taken from so far away that a lot of features began to blur. The individual who originally changed it did so because they thought there were too many images of Greinke's delivery in the article, but I think if that's really a problem, someone could replace the image in the 2004-2010 section. There are several photos of Greinke that aren't action shots from that time period in the Wikimedia Commons. 2600:8803:F51D:C600:E136:A351:7091:1CF0 (talk) 02:06, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
