If you had posted that as a comment, 90% chance it would have been lost amidst th others & be of no value to anyone. Ultimately what you are looking for is people to actually discuss that so that you can come to a consensus about what should be on the page, & that’s what Forum/Talk Pages are for. What you likely should have done is actually message some of the editors of the page so you could directly talk to them, or posted a thread in this board with Ball as a topic (so that people can see the conversation prominently on the page where it won’t get lost). You could then have a full discussion with several editors to come to the proper conclusion.

You could use Talk Pages as well, but like you say not many folks know how to use them (although most encyclopedic editors worth their salt know how to work a talk page). That’s why Talk has a link to f which explains how to use Talk Pages.
