those other pages need fixed, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Player style advice]] applies to Japan and Korea too
Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1350581522|1350581522]] by [[Special:Contributions/WikiOriginal-9|WikiOriginal-9]] ([[User talk:WikiOriginal-9|talk]]) Again, go look at the pages of other Asian players like Munenori Kawasaki, Akira Nakamura, Wang Po-jung, Son Ah-seop, Yoshihiro Maru, etc. I'm following consensus. I just wish others would too.
please follow the consensus
Then you somehow try to claim I'm ignoring consensus and even that only I alone feels it should be there when listing that a player was the single season leader in hits is customary and extremely prevalent among players who played in Asia. Go look at the pages of Munenori Kawasaki, Akira Nakamura, Wang Po-jung, Son Ah-seop, Yoshihiro Maru, etc. The list goes on. I just hope you don't throw a childish tantrum and revert the edits on those articles. on those pages.
Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1350557052|1350557052]] by [[Special:Contributions/Yankees10|Yankees10]] ([[User talk:Yankees10|talk]]) The irony....oh my. On the page you claim I'm "ignoring" it clearly states says stolen bases should be listed in the cases of "career league leader" and not single season leader.
Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1350519895|1350519895]] by [[Special:Contributions/GodCipherDivine|GodCipherDivine]] ([[User talk:GodCipherDivine|talk]]) what exactly gives you the right to ignore long standing consensus from numerous users because you alone feel this should be here? What makes you special? What do you think that page exists for? For shits and gigs? The stolen bases are gone over in that page you decide to ignore
Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1350306660|1350306660]] by [[Special:Contributions/Yankees10|Yankees10]] ([[User talk:Yankees10|talk]]) It's already been told to you before, that's not a rule. Second, are you going to remove the stolen base leader listings on both the NPB and MLB sections cause that isn't triple crown?
only for triple crown stats
Added PL hits accolade.
