Talk:2008 Philadelphia Phillies season

Game log

Why was the game log moved to a page where it is transcluded instead of being in the main page? It doesn't make any sense to move it because it's only being used on one page. KV5 (talk) 02:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

updating?

why is no one updating the game log? --Smuckers ^{It has to be good} 21:18, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

• What do you mean "no one"? Just because I haven't updated it immediately after every game like I used to. I have a new job that takes a lot of time. Sorry if I can't be here every minute. If you think it's a problem, do it yourself. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 23:41, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Happy? KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 23:49, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I am truly stunned by your comment, KV5 :-( It was not meant to be rude. --Smuckers ^{It has to be good} 23:52, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

• • • Well, you have my apologies, I am highly stressed and find myself completely without the time that I would like to be spending on the articles that I enjoy working on. Unfortunately I am spread very thinly here and elsewhere and took on many tasks which have gone by the wayside due to work. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 00:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Controversy with the Mets

I don't understand the "Controversy with the Mets" heading and section. How is it "controversal" for a player to say that his team is the one to beat? 151.197.22.58 (talk) 16:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

It was controversial in the media, and it was extremely controversial when Rollins did it in 2007. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 16:55, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree, I was a little confused why it was there as well. Seems like it was blown up. Athletes/Teams say things like that all the time about opponents, but it doesn't get written in an encyclopedia. Also, this article is getting little long. Smuckers ^{It has to be good} 18:18, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

It contains all the necessary and legitimate season information and I am planning on getting this peer reviewed and then going for a GA, so I don't intend to remove anything. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 19:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Awards

Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino have earned Golden Gloves.[1] Cole Hamels was World Series MVP. Rollins also was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame[2]. Should we create an Awards section to further demonstrate the Phillies performance? Where?Mjf3719 (talk) 14:07, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to take a look this evening and include some further information. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 14:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Proposed removal of redundant publisher information

A number of citations in this article unnecessarily include the publisher for periodicals and websites that have their own Wikipedia article. This information has no value to anyone wanting to check or track down references. For example, publisher=Washington Post Company for references to The Washington Post, or publisher=MLB Advanced Media for references to MLB.com, only make the article longer - significantly longer when repeated many times - without adding anything useful. Therefore I plan to upgrade the article's citations to remove all such redundant publisher info, bringing them into line with the recommended use of the cite template (see Template:Citation#Publisher). I'll also remove redundant 'location' parameters (e.g. work=New York Times|location=New York), as suggested by the template's usage guidelines. Please raise any questions here or on my talk page.
