Note that, although the template only displays article history links for eight articles, there are actually ten nominated. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 11:49, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Note that we recently had another very similar 10-article hook for the silver-medal team at the same Games. It would be nice to have a slightly differnnt hook this time. --Orlady (talk) 19:07, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I'll... do this one in case I decide to have a batch nomination in my future. I apologize for the sheer length of the review... but given the number of articles involved, this was the easiest way for me to cope. Another disclaimer: I only did a spot check for plagiarism. I did not do every source, but rather two sources for each article. Others may feel free to verify that no plagiarism exists. --LauraHale (talk) 02:28, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

General

• Hook is properly formatted and the text is interesting enough given the topic and number of articles. Image in hook has a copyright tag that is acceptable. It is used in the article. Hook fact is neutral. It is not overly negative. Overall, inline citations could be fixed. As a group, no major concerns about the sources, but they appear to be formatted as LINK TITLE. No other data which could easily help determine when written, what verifiable source they used, etc. --LauraHale (talk) 02:28, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

• To be ready, all fact tags need to be cleared up with the addition of sources for those facts. (Cannot remove. Some of these articles would not have gotten over the line with out the lead.) At least one article does not have the hook text supported with a citation. One article needs a second opinion are the source does not mention the player. --LauraHale (talk) 02:39, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for the thorough review. I added the source for the Knecht article, and removed the dead link for the Bucci article (the London Free Press source includes the relevant information). I added a source to the Hardy and Smith article that mentions him directly being on the team, so that's okay.
• As for the remaining fact tags you placed on Bisson, Smith, Hardy, Bucci, and Malo, do those need inline citations? The teams they played for are covered in the external links provided (Baseball Reference and The Baseball Cube). I can add inline citations if needed, but I'm not sure they are. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:51, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

• They need the sources to be in line with WP:BLP and because you can't have an article with tags. If the uncited text is removed, the articles will unlikely get to DYK length. If you can't find sources for the information, remove and find something you can adequately sources. --LauraHale (talk) 03:08, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

• Okay. I sourced Jamie Romak. I'll work on the others by tomorrow. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:41, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

• All citation needed tags addressed. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:03, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

• Nick Bucci has one more. Than good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 21:28, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

• Done. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 02:32, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
