commonly used by encyclopedias in the same fashion, as we can see is the case here. 5) Deletion of the phrase here would be a bad precedent, as noted in the above comment about the use of the phrase "diamond" to describe a baseball diamond (which is used in thousands of articles at the project) -- these phrases are encyclopedic, as reflected by their use in encyclopedias, dictionaries, and thousands of RSs, and we have many of them. To suggest that because an editor, based only on their own personal point of view and in conflict with usage reflected in encyclopedias, can suggest that such a term in not encyclopedic and delete it is a bad precedent, and could easily be followed by massive deletions of similar ilk. Deletions that would be similarly based only on personal editor point of view, and belied by usage in encyclopedias. IMHO, that we be a step backward. 6) The reason that the usage is especially appropriate here is that multiple RSs use it vis-a-vis this particular catcher. 7) If a consensus is happy w/the Sharktopus construct, that would be a fine result, and it certainly seems to cover our mutual thoughts as to what is acceptable.--

term in the same manner as it was used here, that is in fact a reflection of it being encyclopedic. That is what we have here -- the use in encyclopedias is much the same as the use here -- there is no difference in how the encyclopedias "happen to use the term". None has ever been asserted. None has ever been identified. We've just had unsupported, POV assertions that it is not "encyclopaedic" (see the first comment above), or as David put it below "It has absolutely no basis in anything ... encyclopedic." In short, this is a term used by encyclopedias in much the same fashion as here, as reflected in the above examples. When encyclopedias happen to use the term, a number of times over, in parallel fashion, the argument that its use in the same fashion in "unencyclopedic" here seems to be based on nothing other than personal POV, and at odds with the truth. Honestly, I'd be interested in hearing why deleting the phrase -- used in many encyclopedias, hundreds of books, thousands of articles, is so important in the first place.--
390: 2771: 1211: 1047: 2115:(ec) Why is it any more relevant than someone happening to bring up something like my Hilton example above...or, for a more baseball-specific example, a first baseman who happens to be from Chicago, which has been nicknamed "the Second City"? See the joke there? It's the same kind of joke -- it's meant to be a cutesy rhetorical flourish. The fact that a handful of sportswriters happen to be equally lacking in imagination that they use an obvious juxtaposition to fluff up their articles doesn't mean it belongs in an encyclopedic article. 1035: 2383:(ec)Again, the highest-level RSs -- Merriam Websters, a Cooperstown Symposium, a top Baseball Dictionary -- all treat the phrase the same as every other "encyclopedic" phrase. David -- you've presented nothing other than your own POV, in the face of the RSs, to suggest that it is not "encyclopedic". Yet, you continue to state it, without RS support for your position, as though by repeating it you will make it true. In addition, we have RSs referring to this specific catcher using that phrase. We 2267:
but whether it "has to be deleted". Fourth, we could quote the articles, but I don't see how that is necessary. Finally, Merriam Webster's lists the phrase in the same manner as it lists every other fully encyclopaedic phrase in the article; while a top-level RS treats it as an appropriate phrase, we don't usually have articles about phrases because wp is not a dictionary (nor is it being used in every article about a catcher, so that discussion would take us off base ... so to speak).--

requirement to model appropriate standards of courtesy to other editors suggests that David should not be deleting the phrase where he knows that a consensus of editors has reviewed it, without having any objection. The better course for him would be to do what Kevin did, when he knows that most editors who have reviewed it find no fault with it (and can see its use in dictionaries, etc., numbering in the thousands).--
963: 21: 3078:"Honestly, I'd be interested in hearing why deleting the phrase... is so important" It is inclusion, not exclusion, that requires consensus. At the beginning of this discussion, you were very keen to appeal to the approval and review at DYK. Now that consensus is clearly against this phrase in the way you wish to use it in this article, it is notable that you have ceased to appeal to the importance of this. 1146: 460: 442: 4388: 4365: 4347: 4316: 4292: 4265: 4251: 4222: 4208: 4194: 4163: 4129: 118: 173: 149: 1740:
Respected Hall-of-Famer/Ex-Catcher/Baseball-Font-of-Knowledge - then by all means have it in the article, put it in one of those floating quote boxes. But outside of an article about catcher's equipment, the catcher fielding position, baseball jargon, the person(s) to coin the phrase or the person(s) the phrase was first used in reference to, I don't think it belongs in normal prose of an article.
1218:. It has been reflected in RS coverage of this baseball catcher. This has gone through the DYK process, and been approved, and been reviewed by the community at the DYK page during that process. We have the decades of RS coverage, the use of the phrase in wp's coverage of baseball terminology, and the coverage of this ballplayer in RSs. There is nothing un-encylopedic about using a word that 470: 235: 1087: 314: 283: 2594:...."the tools of ignorance." How, then, do we account for the showdown at the plate playing out in these photos taken on a spring day in 2008? The runner barreling in from third is a burly catcher -- 6-foot-4, 225 pounds -- but he's wearing a Yale University jersey. What's more, he is a philosophy major, drawn to books like "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey.".... 247: 1681:, where Modest Genius agreed that the wording was inappropriate (and the blurb's promoter, who initially defended it on the basis that the phrase was sourced, appeared to become convinced of a problem). Nonetheless, you now refer to "two individual editors who don't like" the wording and claim that there is "consensus" for its inclusion in the article. — 324: 4024: 2783: 2217:" which still doesn't explain that he played catcher. He could have worn the gear as a bullpen catcher, while warming up the pitcher at the start of the inning while the catcher was getting his gear on, or while on the bench because he found it really comfortable. Whereas if you don't use the phrase and just replace the above example with " 2119:
has been referred to as "tools of ignorance" has nothing specifically to do with Lavarnway. He didn't give them that name, isn't related to the person who bestowed the name upon them, and doesn't give interviews in the press hyping the term. It's a coincidence that doesn't even really rise to the level of being interesting. -
2587:...."tools of ignorance". However when you consider the background of the Pawtucket Red Sox newest receiver Ryan Lavarnway, the ultimate word in that phrase may be better off left up to interpretation. Especially for a guy that can in detail describe to you the difference between Aristotle, Machiavelli, and Nietzsche.... 183: 1192: 1180: 1198: 3263:"In this case that phrase has no meaning beyond 'he wore catcher's protective equipment', which is what all catchers do when they are catching these days. It's no different to noting how many writers used the term 'diamond' instead of 'park', 'field', or 'stadium' to describe where the game is played." 3149:
Lavarnway, which was deleted by David along with the text. 5) I point not only to how the phrase is used in RSs, but how it is used in encyclopedias -- diffs to those have been supplied. It is, I've found, easy for editors to say "not encyclopedic", without having checked whether in fact a phrase is

by David. Nor is this, as the guideline suggests we be on guard against -- a "new" word; it has been used by top-level RSs for 70 years. So: a) it's not the jargon we are on guard against; b) even if it were, we had an appropriate explanation (which was deleted); and c) it is not the "new" word use

When encyclopedias use a term in the same manner as it was used here, that is in fact a reflection of it being encyclopedic. That is what we have here -- the use in encyclopedias is much the same as the use here -- there is no difference in how the encyclopedias "happen to use the term". None has

1) I have no problem using the phrase in the body, but not in the lede. I think that's a judgment call, and people can differ on it, and I'm happy to defer on it. 2) The encyclopedias (as with the dictionaries and paper for the symposium) are not limited to "journalists". 3) I'm also happy with
3022:
I'm glad that David admits that the term is not in and of itself un-encyclopedic -- certainly, prior comments seemed to suggest as much quite plainly. That was refuted by its use in many encyclopedias (as well as dictionaries, hundreds of books, and thousands of articles). When encyclopedias use a

To correct a couple of misapprehensions. 1) Despite some disparaging characterizations of it above, it is listed in the Merriam Webster dictionary the same as any other encyclopedia-appropriate phrase. 2) It is cited not only by multiple RSs in general over the past 70 years, but specifically in

Regarding your examples, those are terms used to describe specific concepts, or in the case of Marion, used to describe the player himself, in sports coverage. In order to get "tools of ignorance" into this article, you have to take a couple of extra steps to wedge it in. The fact that catching gear

I agree with Sharktopus, who hits on the correct issue better than I did. Responding to Afaber, who crystallizes the issue well, we wouldn't (or shouldn't) delete the phrase "diamond" from an article to describe where the game is played. For precisely the same reasons. It is also widely reflected

There is a strong thread of disagreement among editors in general about whether or not interesting "tangential trivia" belongs in articles. Not a day goes by without disputes over trivia sections or "xyz in popular culture" sections in articles. Very few of these disputes have any connection at all
3081:
You have not addressed the issue of why describing a catcher as employing the tools of ignorance is so much more important on this article than that of any other catcher. If you really believe it to be important to use this as an equivalent phrase to "is a catcher", I would expect to have seen you

follow the writing style of encyclopedic RSs--which, as it turns out, use the phrase. We don't follow David Levy, who disagrees with the RS usage, because of his particular POV as an individual editor. If we had RSs saying that the ballplayer was an asshole, we could of course reflect that -- but
1842:
Except I don't think it is a relevant fact. It seems a little odd to me to include a count of the number of times a phrase - any phrase, even one's like "best in the world", not just this one - is used to describe someone. In this case that phrase has no meaning beyond "he wore catcher's protective

2. We follow reliable sources regarding factual information. This, conversely, is a matter of writing style. The phrase "employs the tools of ignorance" means "plays as a catcher" (a detail clearly established elsewhere in the article), so its inclusion serves absolutely no purpose other than to
1364:
The term "tools of ignorance" has as much to do with Ryan Lavarnway as it does with any other catcher in baseball. Its inclusion in the article (accompanied by an explanation of its meaning) constitutes irrelevant trivia. Reliable sources have used the expression in connection with Lavarnway and

I don't think anyone is arguing that the phrase doesn't exist. But just because its out there means it has to be used. The phrase does have some disparaging connotations about it; it may not be an insult, but it could be seen that way, particularly by people unfamiliar with it. Again, if its in a

The statement "In 2007 he moved from right field to catcher, a position whose equipment is referred to as 'the tools of ignorance'." is analogous to the hypothetical statement "He was raised in California, which is referred to as 'the Golden State'." (citing articles in which writers happened to

As has been explained, we don't unnecessarily insert terms requiring explanation. This isn't an article about baseball terminology, the nickname "tools of ignorance" or anyone widely associated with it, so there's no need to use that phrase (followed by an explanation of its meaning) instead of

1493:
Kevin didn't explain why the use of a 70-year-old phrase, used in both general and baseball dictionaries, and used in RSs as to this particular ballplayer, is anything other than eminently encyclopedic. Also, his conclusions are misplaced -- my first, 10th, 25th, and 50th edits were all equally
3860:
Thank you for your civil reply and clarification. I did think that bit of trivia was interesting and relevant to the article's subject. Consensus here says it does not belong in the article, so I am ready to accept that consensus, but I still think what I thought, that it is a small loss to our

But the point is that its not used in every article about a catcher. I suspect that even looking at the larger articles for catchers, where there is a greater probability that editors would seek to avoid using the same terminology were other options are present, its not used outside of specific

As a few others have said, if there was a specific quote about this player that used the phrase - something like "There's this kid moving up the ranks that people will start hearing about soon. He's one of the best to put on the tools of ignorance n a long time, and his name is Ryan Lavarnway."
3606:
it would almost certainly only appear in cases such as the ones I've described above where it would be appropriate. That the term has a recognised definition elsewhere is irrelevant to this discussion. And just because an explanation of the term is present in the article doesn't mean it passes
1408:
As to David's editing against consensus by deleting the phrase (in contrast to Kevin's appropriate approach -- simply initiating the discussion here), of course DYK review does not constitute "binding approval" of the phrase. But it does reflect editor review of it, but multiple editors. The

I do not see why Epeefleche's alleged motivation keeps being cited. Surely the three (not two) sportswriters using the same combination were not motivated by getting a hook published by DYK. And if Epee's only motivation for adding this info to the article was to get a DYK hook, why would he

1814:
To suggest a possible consensus solution here -- at least two different sportswriters in two different articles cited here thought it was interesting to juxtapose Lavarnway's Ivy League background with "tools of ignorance." Why not mention that as a relevant fact in the article?
3071:. I would have raised no objection to the phrase that Sharktopus proposed (except that I would quail at describing 2 as several), which gave meaning to the phrase, context to the application of it to Lavarnway, and proportionality to its relevance by moving it out of the lead. 2187:
That the term "tools of ignorance" is commonly used to describe the gear worn by catchers is factual information backed by reliable sources. No one disputes that. But it's irrelevant to this article, which pertains to neither the nickname nor anyone notably associated with

The term in fact doesn't seem in use all that often. It's like using the term AAAA player or something, it's used occasionally, but it's not something you'd just throw into the article, and I'm not sure of the obsession with an article having to have this term.

Please explain how this phrase complies with formal encyclopaedic tone. Inserting phrases apparently for no reason other than to support a DYK hook seems to me highly irresponsible and disrespectful of the encyclopaedic status of the project.

It's actually more than that. It's a way to describe the catcher's equipment that is used not only in encyclopedias and dictionaries, but actually in RSs directly associated with describing Lavarnway himself, as reflected

I mentioned that fact that Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary also includes the word "asshole" in rebuttal to your claim that the presence of "tools of ignorance" in that publication proves that the term is "formal."
