One or two articles ? Ericd 21:47 Feb 8, 2003 (UTC) hi im bryce I'm not a die hard baseball fan, so I don't know enough about the Boston Green Monster to expand it into its own article. I suggest leaving it as one article for the time being. -- Modemac 21:53 Feb 8, 2003 (UTC)
Aren't the Red Sox planning on putting seats on top of the Green Monster? -- Zoe
can someone go to fenway and take a nice picture of the green monster so we can have it on this article? Kingturtle 23:44 Apr 21, 2003 (UTC)
A google search for "green monster" retrieves hundreds of references to the wall at Fenway Park and very few references to the dragsters. I think the baseball wall should be listed first. Kingturtle 01:12, 24 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- To be honest, I reverted more out of annoyance that you'd put the ballpark wall first but not bothered fixing the wording.
- It's a conflict between one thing that's moderately known worldwide (the land speed record holding Green Monster more than the dragsters) and another that's intensely well-known in one particular geographical area (Boston) and moderately well-known across America among baseball fans. Two rather different types of well-known.
- IMO, the best solution would be to expand both until they're big enough to fill an article on their own, and turn this page into a disambiguation. Until that point, I don't really care which goes first, but the one that goes first shouldn't have '... is also ...' at the start ... --Morven 05:46, 24 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] original height
Wall was originally 25 feet high, changed to 37' 2" during reconstruction after Yawkey bought team.
[edit] To Padjet1
Um, I have edited the Green Monster page exactly one time since August 10. So... check your history before you accuse me of vandalism.
I have edited the talk pages several times to support my claim - which is exactly what you're supposed to do! So nice job there Padjet 1! Way to do your homework!Ags412 18:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Whoops -- my mistake. I hastily confused you with in whoever is at 63.117.201.120, and I apologize.
[edit] Sporting News
The Sporting News (a completely reputable source) listed Fisk and Dent's home runs on their Baseball's 25 Greatest Moments list. I re-added those home runs, but don't worry, I didn't call them memorable or historical or anything that will make the wikipedia police pull their hair out. I simply stated that the two moments appeared on the Sporting News list and referenced them.Ags412 19:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] linking to photos from other sites
I do not think that it is fair to the website owners that this article links directly to photographs on other sites, rather than the page on the photo owner's site where that photo is displayed. If the photo is appropriate and good enough to be referenced it should be shown as it is displayed on their site, instead leeching their webhosting resources by showing the photo via direct URL only. IMHO that is a form of copyright violation, as copyright holders have the exclusive right to control how their works are used, and unless the owners placed the direct links here themselves, the links should be rewritten to show them as they are displayed on the copyright holders sites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.53.245.12 (talk) 06:22, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Archiving
I set up archiving on this talk page due to some very outdated comments. jj137 (talk) 03:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
