 * I meant to name his high school.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:46, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't think so. What might be the problem? -- Jprg1966  (talk)  15:07, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes. Noted as such. -- Jprg1966  (talk)  16:35, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Innings limit and shutdown
 * Were there any high profile doctors involved in his surgery and the decision to have a hard inning limit? --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:17, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I clarified this. -- Jprg1966  (talk)  16:35, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Pitch repertoire and approach
 * You should note that this source is from before his surgery. Does he still have the same velocity on all his pitches? Does he still use them the same way?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:25, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * If you look at what is now reference 64, you'll see all of Strasburg's pitches as tracked by PITCHf/x. His velocity is current through the 2012 season. -- Jprg1966  (talk)  21:09, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I am talking about the content in ref 63 (Retrieved 2010-09-01).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 08:24, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
 * His pitch repertoire and speeds have not changed in the last two years. In both the pre-surgery and PITCHf/x sources, you'll see mention of his four-seam, two-seam, breaking ball, and change, with the appropriate speeds. -- Jprg1966  (talk)  16:35, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you say this in the text.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:15, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Images
 * All images need tags. --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:52, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Tagged. Never done that before, so let me know if it is correct. -- Jprg1966  (talk)  19:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I am putting this article on hold. Please address the concerns above by responding after each line. I will strike issues as I feel that they have been resolved.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:42, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I have advised the nominator that unless progress is resumed this article will be failed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:53, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The nominator has requested help. I will hold off at least until the weekend before reevaluating this.--00:11, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * The only remaining issue is the unexplained 2 and 1/3 inning appearance. I just reminded the nominator.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:53, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Went ahead and addressed that. Figured it was just simple minor league inning limits, but it was a rain delay instead. Wizardman  04:02, 25 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I am now passing this. Thanks for the hard work and patience with this review.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:43, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * And thank you for your patience and diligence. Good work, all. -- Jprg1966  (talk)  17:03, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
