Welcome to WikiProject Toronto Blue Jays. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving
Wikipedia's coverage of Toronto Blue Jays and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the
talk page and see the to-do list below.
Article requests : Tag all relevant articles under the project, with a default of low importance. Once all the untagged articles are done, we'll need to go through each year's roster and ensure that every single player who has ever played an MLB game for Toronto has at least a stub article and is included in the scope of our project.
Cleanup : Many articles contain stale information i.e. a sentence from 2013 written in present tense
Expand : Top and high level articles should be at least B level. Mid importance we should aim for at least C. Places to start: GMs/execs, managers, Level of Excellence. A quick/edit and request for review might get some of the better articles moved up.
Stubs : Go through stubs and bring them up to at least start level.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:Toronto Blue Jays articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
I've been tagging relevant player articles with the templates. Recommend that current players in the organization be tagged as high importance, former players as mid importance.HalifaxRage (talk) 21:41, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for tagging player articles. I think members of the Level of Excellence should be high importance, and I'm not sure that all current players should be importance = high - perhaps star players, but not current players like Wilmer Font or Anthony Bass, for example. There's also a maintenance issue when a player ceases to be a Blue Jay. PKT(alk) 22:19, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now that you mention it, you're right. I figure, top importance should be just the main article, then high importance for things like Rogers Centre, Roy Halladay etc. Maybe by default have all players as low importance and "promote" them if notable, i.e. named to an all-star team or win a major award.

Yes, I like the All-Star team idea particularly. By the way, I was going to mention Exhibition Stadium, but it's already, and correctly, rated high importance. PKT(alk) 23:56, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't seen any other reference to notability here, so do you want to spell it out here? Amended recommendation: Top (main article), high (Stadiums, Hall of Famers/Level of Excellence, GMs/Executives, Managers), mid (players who have won a major award or are otherwise exceptionally notable), low (everything else). HalifaxRage (talk) 15:32, 11 January 2020 (UTC) Addendum: the season recap articles should be mid-importance, except for playoff years which should be high. Reasoning being those are the ones most likely to be read. HalifaxRage (talk) 15:34, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The applicable notability guideline is WP:NBASE. I'm comfortable with the guideline you suggest (I wish more WikiProjects could do that!) but I'm hoping to hear more voices about it here. PKT(alk) 16:31, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've proactively started at the top and shuffled some articles around, mostly retagging the articles I initially tagged as high importance. The top and high categories look pretty good, there's still a lot of untagged articles that I'll chip away at. I also updated the to-do list above, ideally once we get the majority of articles sorted, we can work on improving the overall quality of the project scope.

Please feel free to list your new Blue Jays-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,500 characters, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources while ensuring that they are reliable, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.
