Infobox[edit]

  • Don't think the year of Moore's graduation from George Mason is needed in the infobox
    • Removed

Lead[edit]

  • "Dayton Moore (born February 17, 1967) is the general manager of the Kansas City Royals." - there's some information that I feel is missing from this portion of text such as Moore's nationality and that he is a baseball executive
    • Added
  • "Moore's began his baseball career" - {{xt|Moore's baseball career began}
    • Done
  • "Moore originally served in scouting department" - can be worded to say in the, in its or in the team's
    • Done

Early life[edit]

  • "Moore was born on February 17, 1969" - Baseball Reference and the infobox state Moore was born in 1967 not 1969
    • Fixed, likely typo
  • "Moore claims to have watched the 1985 World Series in Kansas City from I-70." - Interstate 70 for non-American and baseball readers
    • Done
  • Wikilink undergraduate degree and master's degree
    • Done
  • "Moore received a master's degree in Athletic Administration from George Mason in 1992, and served as an assistant baseball coach at George Mason" - the close repetition of the university's name should be avoided
    • Fixed

Career[edit]

  • "before his promotion in 2002 to director of player personnel development." - this can be written as either before his 2002 promotion to director of personnel development or before his promotion to director of player personnel in 2002
    • Used the first option
  • "The Kansas City Royals offered Moore a job as the team's general manager, and Moore took the job" - offered Moore employment
    • Done
  • "saying "I think the player has earned the opportunity to play professional baseball." [16]" - the space after the quote and the reference is not needed
    • Removed
  • "also help set the stage for the Royals' two World Series teams" - I believe there is a more formal way of wording the text in bold but cannot conjure it up
    • Changed to "provided important pieces for the Royals' two World Series teams", is that better?
  • "After the Royals' World Series win, Moore signed another contract extension to remain with the Royals longer." - the team for longer.
    • Done

Personal life[edit]

  • The word Christian doesn't need to be linked per MOS:OVERLINK
    • Removed links
  • "Moore is also the author of the book "More Than a Season", which describes Moore's efforts " - repetition of the word Moore('s)
    • Used his in the second instance

References[edit]

  • All of the references that mention the dates on which they were publishes are better off mentioned in the article
    • Added date= parameters to all of the references that provided a date published
  • "Front Office Biographies - Dayton Moore" - the hyphen should be replaced by an en dash per MOS:DASH
    • Fixed
  • Reference 10 should mention that the Associated Press was the agency that provided ESPN with that story
    • I used the author= parameter to insert the Associated Press on both 10 and 15. Did this bring about the desired result?
  • Same issue as above for Reference 15
    • See above
