GAN Quicksheet 1.24 SM (Criteria)

Starting comments: This nomination is going to be failed, as the nominator has asked for and been granted an indefinate block, and there are issues that would prevent the article from being promoted as is. I will, however, provide a full review, for the benefit of anyone that wishes to take this to GAN again.  S ven M anguard  Wha?  15:53, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

1. Well written:
 * a. prose/copyright: Pictogram voting delete.svg
 * What makes the third paragraph in the "Notable games" section notable? As someone that's not a fan of Baseball, I have no idea whether single-game playoffs are inherently notable, and the paragraph lacks context on the games' notability.
 * I would mention what his BA and MA are in; those aren't common degrees, and are relevant to his career choice.
 * b. MoS compliance: Pictogram voting delete.svg
 * Content should not appear only in the lead and not in the body text (this is not expressly prohibited, but is strongly discouraged). Information about his jersey number and his stance appear in the lead, but not in the body text. At the very least, that content needs to be cited.
 * I don't feel that the lead meets the "Relative emphasis" portion of WP:LEAD.

2. Accurate and verifiable:
 * a. provides references: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * b. proper citation use: Pictogram voting delete.svg
 * The entire first and third paragraphs of the "Controversies" section are not cited.
 * The last sentence of the Sosa paragraph in "Notable games" also needs a citation.
 * c. no original research:
 * No comment on this, per concerns with 2b.

3. Broad in coverage:
 * a. covers main aspects: Pictogram voting question.svg
 * Was this umpire involved in the 1999 Major League Umpires Association mass resignation situation? He would have been active during the time, and even if his was not a resignation that was accepted, he might still have resigned. If so, that needs to be mentioned.
 * b. focused/on topic: Pictogram resolved.svg

4. Neutral:

5. Stable:

6. Image use:
 * a. license/tagging correct: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * b. relevant/properly captioned: Pictogram resolved.svg

7. Additional items not required for a GA, but requested by the reviewer:
 * a. images that should have alt texts have them:
 * b. general catch all and aesthetics: Pictogram resolved.svg

Comments after the initial review: Normally I would kick this back out to the nominator to fix. In this case, however, the nominator has been indefinitely blocked (by request), and there is no indication that another user has taken custody of the GAN. As such, I am failing this review.
