  • A suggestion would be to rename the article to "List of Major League Baseball immaculate innings" or something like that because the current title is kind of ungainly. 2600:1000:B11D:8756:0:F:E395:7601 (talk) 14:46, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
  • I didn't create this title, but the current unwritten (and thus, unofficial) consensus is that the current title is the proper name for the event. Even though the term "Immaculate inning" is commonly used, it's colloquial and not universally recognized, evident as several MLB news articles ([1][2]) do not use the term. This is in contrast to a perfect game or no-hitter; these are universally recognized and used as the official term for the respective events. —Bloom6132 (talk) 20:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Almost 3 weeks now and still no review. Could someone please take a look at this for the first time. —Bloom6132 (talk) 17:46, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
  • For main hook, ALT2, ALT3. The article is long enough and expanded appropriately. The article is well referenced, with no evidence of copyvio or close para-phrasing. Three of the four hooks are fine, and good to go, but ALT1 is not appropriately referenced inline. I have struck ALT1 out for the moment simply to avoid confusion; if you prefer this hook, a little work in the article will allow it to be used. Harrias talk 12:33, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
