Sockalexis was a member of my tribe

Misread, sorry.

Move

Per WP:NAME and WP:MOVE, i would suggest that this page get moved to Chief Sockalexis as that is the name his is most often identified with. Anyone else have any comments? Long levi 06:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it seems a better idea to keep it here while maintaining the redirect from Chief. I don't think the stereotyping honorific was strong enough--as was, say, "Babe" Ruth's nickname--to merit the move. --Patchyreynolds 13:54, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

• Long levi Banned. FYI, Longlevi has just been found to be a sockpuppet of a banned user named Tecmobowl, who has used socks in the past. Accordingly, he has also been banned indefinitely. See [1]--Epeefleche 00:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

His name is Louis Socklexis. It should remain here.

Article version

Does anyone know why the version i just put in place was removed? It's well sourced and had much more content than the "previous current version" Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  07:08, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Categorization of this article

I have attempted to explain in my edit summaries the reason for removing this article from the category "Lists of Major League baseball players". If you disagree, please explain, either in your own edit summary or on the talk page. 71.174.94.146 19:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Why are you singling out this one article when there are hundreds or thousands of articles similarly categorized? He is not a list, but he is in a list. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 23:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Wknight94 agrees with you, so I'm leaving this discussion alone, as I evidently misunderstood. This kind of thing is why I generally avoid category stuff except for the bare minimum required - as I should have here also. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 23:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Which articles are categorized in list categories? I'll fire up WP:AWB and fix them. —Wknight94 (talk) 23:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Author citation

I removed the in-text link of Ed Rice from the article because it is not the same person as the deceased author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taterracing (talk • contribs) 16:55, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Notre Dame/Giants

The section about the Notre Dame/Giants came is a mess and completely unencyclopedic. Personally, I can't make head or tail out of what the facts are, or what, exactly is being argued. But somebody is obviously trying to differ with a standard story about Sockalexis' career and is sort of incorporating the argument into the text. Someone who actually knows the details of the story should fix this. Carlo (talk) 20:57, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

I came here to bring up the same point--the first mention of the story is someone arguing said story isn't even true, and the whole thing acts like we already know what's supposed to have happened. But 7 years later, it seems nothing's changed. 2601:408:C402:CA32:3078:A299:1A0:F6E8 (talk) 05:18, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

The confusing language was added here, bookending the pre-existing text so that none of it made sense. I've reorganized the sentence order so that first it describes the Notre Dame/Giants game then is followed by Rice's objections. I don't have access to Rice's book to validate that the text properly summarizes that source. I also removed some of the content about Rice's objections because they go beyond what is in the article and apparently need the rest of Rice's book to make sense. Hope that helps.

Disputed end of career

The article currently says "his baseball career ended for good in 1903", and for citation links to an article from baseballlibrary.com that says he "left the game in 1903". Note that this does not refer to his major league career (which ended in 1899). However, his page on baseball-reference.com lists him as being on the 1907 Bangor White Sox (class D minors). Generally speaking I trust Baseball Reference, and I'm guessing that what happened is something like "Baseball Library found an article from 1903 saying that he retired from the game, but didn't notice that he attempted a comeback later". But since I don't actually know which (if either) is correct, I'm just marking it as disputed rather than changing it. --Rwv37 (talk) 07:52, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
