I would like to call your attention to comments I've made at the talk page of that article. I've been studying the subject, and those "Stats" guys seem to have some of their facts wrong. It turns out that Kishwaukee Park was at 15th and Seminary, and not coincidentally it has the same footprint as Beyer Stadium. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 05:23, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Google searches are not a source that can be used. Globg 16:24, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, where is that incorrectly sourced? So I can properly correct.(Skilgis1900 (talk) 03:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC))

I happened to pass by Lawrence Barristers and noticed that you have a lot of links to disambiguation pages instead of articles. Theres a helpful gadget that turns all links to disambiguation pages orange; I suggest you use that and take a look. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 00:45, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! The gadget is noted. The page was prematurely published before I did the DAB's. I appreciate your tip!Skilgis1900 (talk) 06:00, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I ended up on the page for Centreville Red Sox today, which I see you created in November—it looks good. I do see one affiliation that doesn't look right, that of 1937 with the Boston Red Sox. In the current sourcing on the page, [https://www.statscrew.com/minorbaseball/roster/t-cc10783/y-1937 this link] for 1937 Centreville Colts Roster lists their affiliation as being with the Philadelphia Phillies, which I believe is correct. There is [https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Centreville_Colts this page] at BR bullpen, which says they were a Red Sox affiliate during 1937–1939, but I find that BR bullpen has errors and it's best to check with other sources. The Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball has Centreville first being affiliated with Boston in 1939. And to check with a contemporary source, I found [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/73509121/red-sox-will-operate-club-at-centreville/ this article] from the Reading Times in 1939 that states the team is becoming a Boston affiliate after two seasons with the Phillies ("Philadelphia Nationals", as they referred to them). I believe the 1937 affiliation should be listed as Phillies not Red Sox, so I wanted to check with you before making a change? Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 05:28, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks so much. Yes, some references often conflict with each other, especially with older minor league baseball. Feel free to change as the most reliable source indicates. Keep up the good wiki work!Skilgis1900 (talk) 05:54, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

:Certainly, I'll update the page later tonight or Monday. I've found The Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball to be an awesome (and reliable) source of info on older minor league teams. The 3rd edition, which came out in 2007, is the most recent. I don't think it's still in print, but copies show up on eBay. Dmoore5556 (talk) 06:12, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Skilgis1900, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3ASkilgis1900 added] the "{{mono|autopatrolled}}" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! clpo13_(talk) 17:45, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

So very awesome, Skilgis1900! As a fan of the city, it's very cool to see this article done. I'm currently working on an expanded Parks and Rec page for Chehalis, with a section for Millet Field and your hard work is going a long ways to help me!

Thanks for expanding sports articles. Please see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kansas_State_League&type=revision&diff=1076939525&oldid=1076557090 this edit] for the proper way to make a table header. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:02, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Jonesey95! Skilgis1900 (talk) 13:59, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

:I just reverted one of your edits in which you broke working table headers, at Sooner State League. Also see WP:EL for information about placing external links in the body of articles. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:14, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Please see the recent discussion at WP:RSN, archived [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_376#Extensive_use_of_baseball-reference.com_/_bullpen_open_wiki here]. If you disagree with the outcome, please re-open in the discussion, but re-adding this link as you did at Arkansas State League is not productive. Kuru (talk) 03:59, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey Skilgis1900!

Long time! Hope all is well. All I can say is you've been rocking it since we've last communicated and I'm a bit jealous on that massive increase to your edit count!

On to business - thinking about adding a bit on the Gophers page but wanted your experienced thoughts first. I'll link to three refs here but be warned, it ain't pretty, especially the 2nd source - {{cite news |title=Minstrel Show For Ball Boys |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oHs9AAAAIBAJ |access-date=November 10, 2023 |work=The Chehalis Bee-Nugget |date=April 15, 1910 |page=3}} {{cite news |title=The Minstrel Farce Is Great |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oXs9AAAAIBAJ |access-date=November 10, 2023 |work=The Chehalis Bee-Nugget |date=April 22, 1910 |page=12}} {{cite news |title=Minstrel Show A Success |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ons9AAAAIBAJ |access-date=November 10, 2023 |work=The Chehalis Bee-Nugget |date=April 29, 1910 |page=1}}

The articles are from 1910 and are about a minstrel show that ballplayers from the team participated in (original research here - probably to advertise the team in its opening season). The act is abhorrent and I want to upchuck my breakfast, no question, but I don't want to ignore it though either. I'll be posting about it at this Chehalis subsection but wondering if it would be prudent to do so on the Gophers page? Don't see a need for it at Millett Field, though.

Whadd'ya think?

Hey Skilgis1900!

First, how in a holy green monkey are you above 60k edits already? Flat-out impressive!

I reach out because I found this photo at a University of Washington digital collection - [https://digitalcollections.lib.washington.edu/digital/collection/clarkkinsey/id/784/rec/18]. Based on photos I've seen of Millett Field, the grandstand and background look very close...I mean very close, even the hill and factory in the background. I was thinking of adding it but my partner of going on so many snoring years thinks two things -

1. It may not be.

2. He thinks the gear/jerseys looks too 1930s, and therefore the pic wouldn't pass straight-up copyright usage to post.

Have a thought? He wins, I buy him a saw blade (why? I dunno, I don't really listen when he talks about tools...or baseball.) or I win and I get the weighted blanket he has feared will suffocate him at night.

My thanks!

::Hello Shortiefourten (talk

Lol! Good luck on the bet. Here's my two cents, I may be flawed.

Probably, the best approach on publishing any photos to wiki is to obtain them through wikicommons [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page]. You can do a photo search by subject or location. They have the copyright status on the page for each photo. Often they have no copyright issues and are ok publish on wikipedia. Photos from other sources that have copyright issues rightfully get wiki folks excited... and they get deleted with a strong lecture.

That is a great photo and a great find, the date range is large, 55 years!. According to this [https://www.lib.washington.edu/specialcollections/services/reproduction/reproduction] the photo is restricted from being published elsewhere. I don't know the logistics involved to post to wikicommons, but possibly you could contact the Library to inquire about having this particular photo posted to wikicommons, but that might be a longhsot. Keep up the good work!! Skilgis1900 (talk) 23:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much for creating the Maryville Comets entry. It is a real delight to find it. I will be making some changes to the newspaper entries, but it was a joy to find this. 04:10, 22 May 2025 (UTC) (I am having problems getting this to take my signature (Americasroof)).

:Thank you so much for the nice comment, glad the history of the Maryville team is of interest to you! (PS, there should be a "Sign your posts on talk pages" item on your editing panel with a squiggly line item next to it. Then you just click on the squiggle line thingy and put it at the end of your comment.) Skilgis1900 (talk) 00:33, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
