You may want to reach out to the applicable editors or creator of those pages to see why they chose to do that. Regarding yor second point (which, logically, should be moot if your first point is correct, so I don't know why you brought it up), WP really isn't about style points. The primary purpose of navboxes are not aesthetics, it's it is to help categorize and provide relevant links. It is hardly uncommon for WP navboxes to have multiple links to the same page in order accurately reflect a chonology or whatever it is the navbox is presenting. For example, just within baseball navboxes, the following are three of many navboxes that repeat links:

singular desire to have Martin only listed once. You contradict yourself by saying that one must pay attention to detail, but under your definition, that means removing content and ignoring the chronology that these navboxes are demonstrating. That seems more like making arbitrary, aesthetic decisions instead of ones based on the content and the actual subject matter. If you think this is an issue, please bring it up in the
Baseball Wikiproject in order to get other opinions on the matter. Also, stating that someone does not "care about Knowledge or the materials that go into it" because they disagree with your position is not a way to win people over.

I won't revert the edits immediately, because I would like to come to an agreement if possible. Thanks. -

1965. Clarence Miles was in total charge in the ballclub's first two seasons. He was succeeded by James Keelty Jr. as president and Joseph
Iglehart as chairman of the board. Lee MacPhail later succeeded Keelty. It was actually Iglehart who had the franchise's largest stake before 1965. I definitely would like to know what's the proof backing up your argument.

Style points are NEVER just a minor consideration! My belief is that the presentation of entries should be treated like published books or other printed publications. They should appear as professional as possible. The New York

Keep in mind that you are shifting you argument now from the original. We've gone from content to presentation, and you never addressed the content argument. I may have to correct myself in saying style has no bearing, but the chonology on display in the Yankee manager template far outweighs any
