I have checked three of them against the print Riley (Cuban X-Giants, New York Cubans, Newark Eagles), and those are identical except for expansion of abbreviations and division of some long paragraphs (as for the Personal profiles). Riley uses markup only to bold the team names, and may recognize no multiple names, so nothing is lost in the online edition. (On the other hand, 22 is a tiny selection from these skimpy articles. Here at wikipedia there are 30 teams with players categories.)

For those two entries, the only additions are a second nickname for Grant ('Dad') and links to other eMuseum pages. What's lost is the bold and italic markup of biographical data, because eMuseum bolds everything. In the list of team-seasons, Riley uses bold for primary affiliation(s) and italics for

I think the baseball player infobox should be preferred because it includes useful parameters such as batting and throwing handedness and a list of teams. Some of the other available parameters, however, such as statistics, will be challenging for most Negro league players given the current state of

Here is an illustration of Riley's markup, featuring the first half of the header for Grant
Johnson. At eMuseum everything is bold and the name fields are rearranged entirely. This replicates Riley except for layout and the use of four numerals for years (rather than '11 for 1911, and so on). In the

Very well. I'll work on some article standardization and grab some notes on other players to add to their articles. I will also be going to the Negro League

So the eMuseum visitor, such as many a wikipeditor, misses the judgments that "Home Run
Johnson" was his primary baseball name; and that Johnson was primarily a shortstop, a regular secondbaseman at times, a pitcher only in emergency, and a regular manager. (Positions for Rube Foster is

I don't think the task force intends to cover most white players who played for a pre-1947 integrated league. In addition to the Middle States League, quite a few white players played winter baseball in integrated leagues such as the
