Wow, happy to see this article blossom after I started it oh so long ago... --Locarno 23:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:NBC SportsJoeandVin.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The image Image:Joegaragiolatttt.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Garagiola campaigned for President Gerald Ford during the 1976 presidential campaign with a series of lengthy commercials touting Ford's candidacy. Today, we might call these "infomercials." As of December 3rd, 2010, the article says this about those commercials: "the ads largely served only to reinforce the perception that Ford was inept and inarticulate, and were considered by most to have negatively affected the Ford campaign." No supporting evidence is provided to back the claim that these ads hurt the Ford campaign. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't -- but let's see some evidence either way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.131.142.97 (talk) 03:58, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Today, 26 February 2012, I saw that the age of Joe Garagiola, Sr. is given as 85 years despite the fact that his 86th birthday was earlier this month. I did not find a way to change the age, only the birthday. Therefore I assume that there is some software code which calculates the age automatically. If this is the case, it needs to be fixed, maybe somebody else here knows how do do so. Stefankirchner (talk) 20:07, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How is it possible not to talk about him being Charlie Brown's favorite player? Thmazing (talk) 21:51, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can't post this page's URL on a Facebook timeline because it has a period at the end of it. ("_Sr.") A period at the end of a URL is not standard. 50.54.231.229 (talk) 15:41, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

News just in, Joe has passed away. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.162.55.227 (talk) 19:24, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, and thanks for the notification. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 19:29, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In second to last paragraph, there's a story about Stan Musial asking Joe, "When are you gonna quit."

The lead-in sentence to the story says that Joe told the story. If so, the story should be in FIRST PERSON narration, NOT third person.

If the quote (and third person narration) is correct, then actual attribution needs to be found.2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 20:03, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While researching online as to exactly "why" Joe Garagiola retired from baseball in 1954 (never found out), I came across the "World eBook Library" article on Mr. Garagiola [1]. While reading it, I got the very uncomfortable feeling that I had read this before - - - exactly word for word. And it turns out, I was correct. Entire sections of both the Wikipedia and the World eBook Library articles are EXACTLY THE SAME WORD FOR WORD ! ! ! And NEITHER are cited or mentioned anywhere as sources in the other's entry/article. Even the story whose point of narration I previously questioned (see "'Baseball career' section"), is identical word for word. Someone needs to check out this possible plagiarism and make what ever changes are necessary.2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 20:51, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since this article lists specific sources, and the World eBook Library does not, but says that its "content is assembled from numerous open-source content providers" -- including Wikimedia Foundation -- and since the eBook article is organized in the typical WP format, my guess is that the eBook Library copied its content from WP, not vice versa. If so, I don't know that there is anything that can (or should) be done about it. Diannaa has quite a lot of experience with plagiarism issues, so I'm pinging her for an opinion.

Born in an Italian-American neighborhood "known at the time as Dago Hill." Forty years later, when I lived in the area, it was still called that, and perhaps even today. But not by Italians, nor by polite non-Italians, as it's an ethnic slur. They call it simply "The Hill." 2602:301:7744:41F0:D0F8:7B17:1352:362 (talk) 06:51, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
