Copyright Issues
editMany of the sections are copy/past of this page and other pages listed on the site: http://history.house.gov/Exhibitions-and-Publications/Baseball-Game/Statistics/
While this is a government website not subject to copyright, it should probably be edited to be unique to Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blazingliberty (talk • contribs) 19:05, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
Edit reversion
edit@Adavidb: You recently reverted my edit [1]. The text I copyedited was not a section hatnote, which in any case should be formatted correctly (e.g. with {{for}}). The purpose of a WP:HATNOTE is "to help readers locate a different article if the one they are at is not the one they're looking for". That text did not do that. Formatting it to appear like a section hatnote is further misleading the reader into thinking that the link is to an article. I have a long-term project to correct occurrences in Enwiki of inappropriate hatnote-like text, of which this is an example: in fact there are two instances in this article and I seem to have missed the other one. If you can find a better way of incorporating a call on these footnotes into the article then that would be a welcome improvement, but formatting something to look like a hatnote when it isn't is not acceptable.

- Thanks for the extra info. Based on your explanation, I've reworked the faux hatnotes into inline text. —ADavidB 16:36, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
