Change "Fresno State made both the 2011 and 2012 College World Series" to "Fresno State made the 2011 and 2012 NCAA Tournaments". Teams eliminated in regionals do NOT advance to the CWS. 2601:246:4201:E40:C8B8:CEFA:C6C5:2353 (talk) 02:34, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done ish. Just removed the sentence since no citation is provided for context of the statement in relevance to Judge. Izno (talk) 12:36, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Review
An editor just reverted these appropriate pending edits, for no apparent reason, and did not leave an edit summary or talk page explanation of his non-vandalism-revert. They should have been accepted - they were appropriate, and supported by RS references. Can someone more experienced please review and take the proper action to accept them? Perhaps User:Mz7, who put in the approval process to protect against vandalism? Which this is not. Thanks. --2604:2000:E016:A700:D1D0:60C7:AE9F:E923 (talk) 00:50, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Don't accept. The info this IP added is, honestly, irrelevant to Judge. We don't need to know that Linden is a small farming community, and we don't need to know that "only 12 hitters in major league history who were 6 ft or taller had logged 1,000 or more career plate appearances"; this is simply worthless trivia that doesn't belong in the article. Sky  Warrior  03:20, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * All of the information is information that RSs deem notable. Of course baseball fans and RSs are interested in his unusual height for a major league position player (that's not trivia; otherwise the RSs would not cover it in their articles) -- and how rare such players are, and how other very tall position players have done (many articles have focused on his size, and how he compares with other very tall MLB position players .. context). And that he is from a small hometown (contrasts sharply with his playing in NYC), and that he is part Black and part White. When the RSs cover it, and much of this is covered repeatedly, that is how we know it is notable (not because editor x or y says, due to their POV, "let's hide this fact.") And it makes sense to cover his parents and adoption in his early life at the top of his article in the Early Life section - not bury it as the revert did at the bottom, after his career. Compare Derek Jeter. 2604:2000:E016:A700:FD1B:13B:B4E4:F221 (talk) 03:34, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Punctuation
Is some punctuation missing in this run-on sentence that ends with a close-parenthesis?
 * In addition to becoming the first Yankee rookie to ever hit 30 home runs in a season, he became the second rookie to hit 30 home runs before the All-Star break after Mark McGwire, the first Yankee to hit 30 home runs before the All-Star break since Alex Rodriguez in 2007, and the first player in baseball to do so since Chris Davis and Miguel Cabrera in 2013).

In the section "Early life and amateur career", after ""I knew I didn't look like them.", please add:

He is part Black and part White. 2604:2000:E016:A700:4484:D7B0:8756:2C26 (talk) 10:15, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

 * I did provide a reliable source, which quotes him.

 * In which Aaron Judge himself states: "My ethnicity, it’s just who I am. I’m black, I’m white." --2604:2000:E016:A700:4484:D7B0:8756:2C26 (talk) 19:25, 11 July 2017 (UTC)


 * The problem with this request is that self-published sources aren't exactly considered reliable. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 19:35, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * But it is not self-published. First, it is based on a quote from the subject himself, not an interpretive article. That's the highest level of reliability. Second, is is not self-published -- the publication is Baseball Prospectus. 2604:2000:E016:A700:4484:D7B0:8756:2C26 (talk) 21:02, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Jd02022092,, and confirm it's 30 home runs, not 34. I'm going to make the change. RickinBaltimore (talk) 19:38, 11 July 2017 (UTC) Forget I said that, 30 for the year, those are lifetime numbers in the infobox. RickinBaltimore (talk) 19:39, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Remove "Despite having fewer than 100 plate appearances, Judge struck out more often (44.2% of his plate appearances) than any other position player with at least 50 plate appearances." Lacks a citation and language implies that the first statistic is directly related to the second statistic. Chinchilly (talk) 05:02, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅ We already mention and source the strike out percentage, but here is nothing supporting the claim that this was the worst (and yes, it's garbled). It can be readded properly if someone wants to source it reliably. Meters (talk) 05:09, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
