== Details ==
== Copyedit ==


RyRy has asked me to copyedit. I'm ignorant about baseball and my American isn't fluent, so please watch out for errors. I've also added some "xxxxx"s where the information is really needed, but I don't know it, and some hidden comments where I was unsure about something. Please help the Limey.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
== Various discussion ==


I have just modified {{plural:3|one external link|3 external links}} on [[Baseball uniform]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=746528853 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
I think the opening line doesn't need to say both "coached" and "managers". A manager is a subset of the term coach, although obviously in pro baseball he isn't really referred to as coach. To Bugs: do you think the parenthetical note "(but not always)" in the lead is needed? I think the term "often" implies that. [[User:Gwynand|Gwynand]] | [[User_talk:Gwynand|Talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/Gwynand|Contribs]] 17:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

:The real point is that anyone participating in the game on the field is supposed to wear a uniform. That needs to be clearer somehow. Connie Mack didn't wear a uniform, he wore a business suit. But he didn't coach on the baselines or go to the pitcher's mound, he had coaches do that. He stayed in the dugout. McGraw coached on the baseline, so he had to wear a uniform.

::Well, I think "often" covers that. Furthermore, we have the luxury of not having to make a blanket statement about how a uniform is worn by coaches because it ''definitely'' varies level to level. Obviously Pro and college ball have some strict rules, but often asst coaches in highschool dont wear a uniform (even if coaching on the field), same goes for little league. Maybe this brings up a new section... we can lead the lead as "often coaches wear uniforms" etc, then have a section below on rules regarding coaches attire, etc. Im sure there are some sources to be found.

::::I changed it to say "sometimes by non-playing personnel such as managers and coaches" because managers and coaches are not the same thing, at least at the professional level, and you also have batboys, ballgirls, and so on, who might also (but not always) wear something that looks like the team uniform. [[User:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] <sup>''[[User talk:Baseball Bugs|What's up, Doc?]]''</sup> 17:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::I think it looks good, and you are definitely right about also including bat boys, etc. The article ''currently'' being focused on the majors I wouldn't call a problem, just that we have a lot of good sourced info on that.

[[User:Gwynand|Gwynand]] | [[User_talk:Gwynand|Talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/Gwynand|Contribs]] 18:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::And the attendant rules. Certainly in kids leagues, the coaches typically don't wear uniforms, but they participate on the field as needed. I also question some of the years. I don't know where that 1849 came from, for example. Maybe that's the beginning of the NABBP, but the fact is that uniforms of some kind have ''always'' been a part of organized baseball. [[User:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] <sup>''[[User talk:Baseball Bugs|What's up, Doc?]]''</sup> 18:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, I was concerned about that too. The way it is now, it almost implies that there were games played in MLB where a team didn't have some form of a uniform. There was probably always something that would be considered one. [[User:Gwynand|Gwynand]] | [[User_talk:Gwynand|Talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/Gwynand|Contribs]] 18:07, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Also, the article misleads when it implies that MLB began in 1849. "Organized baseball" would be a better term. That's just one of many issues with the article, which is slowly improving over time and with additional hands.
