What does the line "and its details" mean in the lead? It being what? 144.175.17.179 (talk) 15:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then clarify cuz it makes no sense. 144.175.18.115 (talk) 18:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright infringement

Some sections of the article appears to be a copyright infringement of http://www.baseball-almanac.com/ (cited as a reference), see 1, 2, and of ezinearticles.com (a blacklisted site), see 3. The copyrights of both sites are incompatible with a use on Wikipedia. There is also an entire section from Baseball cap, and we can't exclude other copyright infringements. Maybe this should go to WP:CP. Cenarium (talk) 17:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to find some time later this afternoon to copyedit the article to remove copyright issues. Kingturtle (talk) 17:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I gave it a shot. Fix anything I did. Revert if it wasn't helpful. Kingturtle (talk) 19:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Revert it ? Oh no, it was certainly helpful and well done. I also tried to fix a sentence in the Graphics section that was copied from the baseball-almanac.com source. Cenarium (talk) 20:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about the copy from baseball cap ? Is it enough to indicate it, is it compliant with the GFDL ? Cenarium (talk) 20:08, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I checked further, and there are other copyright violation of the almanac source and others (baseball.mu) disseminated in the article. Sorry but I am completely ignorant in this domain, so I prefer not try to fix it myself, that wouldn't be helpful I guess. For example, the Stockings section 4, the shoes section 5. Those are copyrighted sites, not mirrors. Cenarium (talk) 20:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to fix those issues myself, but any other help with be useful too. I'm sorry for the copyright problems here. I tried to reword it the best I can, but it seems it still a copyright problem. -- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 00:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend that you get ahold of Okkonen's Baseball Uniforms book. It will tell you everything you need to know about 20th century uniforms. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 21:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Availability?

Is there possibly an infobox we can add to the article? I can't seem to find the right one myself. If one is found, either show it here or add it to the article. Thank you. -- RyRy5 (talk) 02:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Checked WP:IBT, as far as I can tell none are appropriate. RC-0722 ^247.5/1 02:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How would you have an infobox for a standalone article? And what would it contain? Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 03:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a clue. Should I work on one? RC-0722 ^247.5/1 03:11, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
