 * I'll be reviewing the article shortly. Albacore (talk) 00:38, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Comments:
 * win-loss record to win–loss record


 * Infobox needs ndashes for year ranges and the win-loss numbers.


 * Coveleski was rarely able to play baseball as a child, given that he almost never saw the sunlight I'm uncomfortable with the second part of the sentence. Coveleski was rarely able to play baseball as a child would do.


 * I'm also not comfortable with the amount of quotes used.


 * File:Lancaster Red Roses baseball team (team photo, 1909).jpg could use a URL, or a source better than "private collection".


 * Refs 11, 18, 29 need an ndash


 * In September 1912, the Philadelphia Athletics called him up to the major leagues, and he made his debut on September 10. Implies that the two clubs were related; some clarification would be helpful


 * File:Coveleskie.jpg could use a source URL and a "review"


 * Coveleski had lost 10 pounds due to illness during 1916, but during the offseason he spent his time recovering, gained 20 pounds and appearing in far better health. Rewrite would be nice, "appearing" should be in past tense.


 * both second in the American League to Walter Johnson.[9][4] switch


 * Coveleski was the star of the 1920 World Series, in which he pitched three complete game victories. "star" is a WP:PEACOCK term.


 * Coveleski returned to the Indians in 1921 hoping to bring them another pennant. not convinced that the second part is necessary


 * he stated that he "Didn't like the town capitalization


 * In game two, he faced Vic Aldridge n a pitcher's duel in?


 * National Polish-American Hall of Fame ->> National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame


 * is control was legendary, and it was not unusual for him to pitch a complete game having thrown 95 pitches or less;he once pitched seven innings of a game where every pitch was either a hit or a strike "legendary" is a WP:PEACOCK term; space after semicolon

I'm putting the article on hold. Albacore (talk) 01:26, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Issues mostly fixed. For the 1909 image, I can't find a URL where that's been used, sans a couple blogs where the image was put up years later; seems a bit iffy to just use that. Ironically the lack of finding it makes the private collection check out (the uploader's done quite a bit on deadball players). For the 1920 star sentence, I could reword it, but not sure of a good way to. He did win 3 games in a World Series, which is significant enough to note, and that is as close to a WS star as one can get. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 15:15, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Two other comments:


 * Images could use alt-text.
 * We have find a grave for the external link.
 * After those are addressed I'm happy enough to pass the article. Albacore (talk) 16:07, 14 June 2012 (UTC)Operation Big Bear 16:18, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed the second; for the first I'm not good at alt-text, and it's not a requirement anyway. If they ask at FAC I could find someone to add it in then. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 02:37, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Pass. Albacore (talk) 02:42, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
