Nickname pushing

---

For future reference, any and all additions of "Uncle Jake McGee" as a nickname can and should be removed from the page. The nickname was added in 2012 with this unsourced edit, and remained in place long enough for the this article to be written which claims the nickname is real. It is not. This situation mirrors Mike Trout's nickname saga. As a quick summary, the unsourced nickname "Millville Meteor" was added to Trout's page and picked up by the media as factual, though it is now commonly used in reference to Trout. There is no such common usage of "Uncle Jake McGee". There is an anonymous editor who has been pushing this nickname onto the page for several years, likely in an attempt to replicate the Trout situation.

Protection

Does this still need to be protected? --2604:2000:E010:1100:7970:6CEA:7159:A47A (talk) 10:22, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

User:Muboshgu-I vote for lifting the protection. Thanks. --2603:7000:2143:8500:F57D:E78E:CA0F:BB07 (talk) 19:40, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

It's been protected for three years. Hopefully that was long enough. I'll unprotect it on a trial basis, but if that "Uncle Jake McGee" nonsense comes back, so does page protection. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:58, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

We just had the first reinsertion of "Uncle Jake McGee". I'm not hopeful about this page remaining unprotected much longer. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:12, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

And we're protected again, because whoever the "Uncle Jake McGee" vandal is, they figured out that the page was opened for business. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:17, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Too bad. I guess we can’t just block them for some reason? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:2143:8500:2821:F240:4804:18F3 (talk) 05:06, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

• In fact, he does have a nickname. Which is not reflected. It is "MacCheez". As can be seen on both his mlb and baseball reference pages. 2603:7000:2143:8500:D883:2220:4329:596B (talk) 23:11, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Error

In the first paragraph, someone should add “the” before “Tampa...”

Also in the first section below it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:2143:8500:2821:F240:4804:18F3 (talk) 05:07, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

If you stop evading your block for a few months, then go back to your original account and request an unblock, you'll be able to edit to your heart's content. The issue that led to your original block was making unnecessary changes to articles (like shuffling the infobox fields around when Wikipedia automatically displays those fields in the correct order) and failing to communicate with other editors.
