2025 Sox season – here to help for another year

[edit]

Hey Dmoore! Just thought I'd reach out and let you know that you will see me around the Red Sox season page again this year helping in any way I can. I may not always get to the game log first but any other little spruce-ups like the game summaries, statistics, the upcoming games schedule, I'm always down to help with any of that. These past five or six months have been by far my most productive period on Wikipedia in a very long time, especially where sports are concerned, I've been doing NHL, NBA, college hoops, you name it – and now that baseball is back I'm ready to channel this new wave of Wiki energy into the world’s greatest sporting organization. :)

Hope all is well for you up there in the Granite State – greetings from SoCal where it's been sunny and upper 60s the whole winter! ;) I will be back in New England though for 4 1/2 months starting June 3, and I will probably be even more active on the Sox page then because I'll have access to local media as well as online and will be more in tune with the results as they happen because I'll be able to turn the channel to almighty NESN and gobble up all the games haha.

Cheers! And here's to an exciting 2025 campaign! It's been a rough start, but I'm confident we (and Raffy) will get out of this early slump!

@RedSoxFan274: thanks much for the note, great to hear you have be so active on Wikipedia. I'm not currently planning to do game-by-game summaries for the Red Sox as I did the past few seasons, as I've got a few other items (Wikipedia or otherwise) consuming my time currently. Please free to contribute there, if you'd like. I may jump in from time to time, maybe to summarize a series if it otherwise isn't covered. I hope your visit to New England goes well. You may want to check about NESN access at where ever you will be staying. Comcast, for example, moved NESN from their standard cable tier to their "premier" tier back in January, meaning a lot of folks who used to get it, may not have it any more. There is alternately NESN 360 as a streaming option, but they are pricey at $30 per month (although perhaps a bit more palatable if you consider it $1 per Red Sox game, roughly). Take care!

Hey, good to hear from you. Yeah, the cable-vs.-streaming war is being lost by cable at a rather alarming rate, seems to me. If I had Comcast basic cable and they dropped NESN, well you'd better believe I'd be dropping them! Lol. Fortunately we own a home back in Massachusetts (God this is making me sound rich isn’t it I swear I'm not haha) and we always get Xfinity set up when we're there, so the Comcast thing won't be an issue for us. Thanks for letting me know about the season-by-season recaps — that's one of the things that I think really has made the Red Sox season pages stand out from other teams' season pages lately, so I'll try to pitch in more there and hopefully, with the help of a couple more editors, we can keep that section up and running.
Can you believe how awful the Bruins have been this year? Ten losses in a row – mercy! Well, maybe they'll snatch a high draft pick instead of being stuck in limbo. And at least we'll have important Celtics games to carry us through the spring – though the road to a repeat will be difficult if we have to go through Cleveland and especially Oklahoma City. But now I’m just rambling!

@RedSoxFan274: Xfinity is the trade name that Comcast primarily uses now; I still call them Comcast since that's how I've always known them. You may want to check about the status of NESN in whichever of their tiers you normally subscribe to. I haven't watched much of the Bruins this season but they certainly have come off the rails. It will be interesting to see if/how they re-tool in the offseason! Dmoore5556 (talk) 15:13, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ruh roh. I thought they were two separate entities. Well, thanks for the heads up! I’ll look into it. :) – RedSoxFan274 (talk~contribs) 15:18, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Dmoore, I pinged you and a few other people on my talk page, I was wondering if you got the message? Because if you didn't it's possible nobody else did. I'm looking for help with the Angels series Monday–Wednesday, it would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Let me know.
Thanks as always, –RedSoxFan274 (talk~contribs) 06:51, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@RedSoxFan274: yes, I did see it. I'll try to add summaries following those games. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 16:10, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, you did a great job with them last year so I know you'll be up to the task. I also know you’ve been busier this season, and I have enjoyed taking over the summaries, but I still appreciate the help, it really is a load off my mind to know I won’t have a three-game backlog on Wednesday when I’m still tired and jet-lagged. :) BritishBornBaseballer has been of assistance providing the references for the summaries, you don't even have to do that part if you don't want to, he'll come by and add them in quick time.
Thanks again, I'll do the summaries for this weekend and then pick it back up for the Yankees series, at which point I'll be about an hour's drive away instead of a six-hour flight away! Looking forward to summer in New England!
cheers, –RedSoxFan274 (talk~contribs) 16:37, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey! Thanks for filling in with the summaries. Feel free to pitch in with them whenever you like but I don't need or expect your help with them from this time on, I'll try to take over again starting on Friday. Looks like I missed a pretty eventful series! Shame we only won one of 'em. Need to string some of these wins together! –RedSoxFan274 (talk~contribs) 05:17, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Some ice cream (and hugs) for ALL of us!

Some ice cream (and hugs) for ALL of us!
Chocolate ice cream always helps when your boyfriend – I mean, franchise hitter – breaks up with you (even if it’s forced on the both of you by your dad – I mean, the front office), right? @BritishBornBaseballer: @MattFry7: – RedSoxFan274 (talk~contribs) 07:30, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think it will take a years worth of chocolate ice cream to get over this. My God what have the front office done... BritishBornBaseballer (talk) 17:25, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, could use that right now for sure...
Hard to believe this doesn't kill the team offensively this year. They need to pivot fast. MattFry7 (talk) 22:08, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dmoore5556, hope you are well! I have a question about the MLB in Omaha logo you uploaded to the MLB in Omaha page. How did you get the logo into the page without copyright? I have tried to upload a logo to the MLB at Rickwood Field page & the MLB Speedway Classic page, but I cannot upload them. Please let me know what you did, and if you can help that would be amazing. Thank you! Havartii83 (talk) 18:49, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Havartii83: items such as logos (including the one in the infobox for MLB in Omaha) are copyrighted, but can be displayed under "fair use" (WP:FAIRUSE). Select "Upload file" from the options on the left side of the page, then "Upload a non-free file". Follow the menu, and in Step 3, select "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use." and then the sub-option "This is a logo of an organization, company, brand, etc." Hope that helps. Or let me know if I misunderstood your question. Dmoore5556 (talk) 21:05, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your timely response Dmoore5556! I am still having an issue. I cannot find where I can click upload file from the options on the left side of the page. I am curious what do you mean by "the page" (please leave a link). Also, could you possibly give me a little more detail on how to upload so I can get these logos onto the Speedway Classic & Rickwood Field pages. Thank you for your help. Havartii83 (talk) 14:49, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Havartii83: when I look at Wikipedia in my desktop browser, there is a "gutter" of options on the left side of the screen. Your screen appearance may vary from that, based on settings in your profile. In the Contribute section is an "Upload file" options—the direct link to it is HERE. Try clicking that, and going through the upload dialog for "Upload a non-free file". Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:45, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
