Didn't mean to revert you so quickly. Probably should have brought it to the talk page first. I summed up in my edit summary, but we can't take what Simmons said in a chat and interpret it, then put it in his article. If you want to further discuss, I'm of course willing. Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 15:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Eh, to be honest, I could go either way. But, the preceding information about the controversy (in the wikipedia article) is an excerpt from a Bill Simmons e-mail that was printed on Deadspin.com. I'm not sure how a quote from Simmons during an ESPN.com chat is much different? Bjewiki (Talk) 17:21, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- I thought the controversy came from an interview with Deadspin (even if through email). Even the chat item takes a leap of faith to interpret it. He obviously can't say anything outright negative against ESPN right on the site, and that message didn't really indicate things were patched up. Most importantly... we really don't interpret this stuff on wikipedia, that's left to the sources. Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 18:55, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Here's the original story [1]. I would classify it more as an e-mail exchange. In any case, i'm not going to put it back in (I didn't put it there originally), but I would think it would fair to say something like, "In a recent ESPN chat, Simmons referneced the situation by saying "<quote here>"...without making any judgements or interpretations (like the original editor did). Bjewiki (Talk) 19:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, that would probably be OK. I'm not crazy about using his chat logs for anything, but clearly his quote was in response to the so-called controversy, so I guess it could be noted what was said, without interpretation. Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 19:03, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I'm contacting you and other members of WikiProject Books in order to find if you are interested in collaborating to expand and improve The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence article to make it worthy of becoming a featured article candidate, in light of the fact that it is the first book the U.S. government ever went to court to censor before its publication. --Loremaster (talk) 22:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- No thank you, but thanks for asking. Bjewiki (Talk) 22:44, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Baseball Newsletter
[edit] The Baseball WikiProject Newsletter![]() | |
This month's newsletter was designed and written by Wizardman, jj137, and Blackngold29. If you would like to contribute to future newsletters, please contact the Baseball WP outreach dept. |
Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, "The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Blackngold29 |

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
