Article review
I visited the Everett Aqua Sox page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: Its lack of citations, the structure / completeness and the age of the article.

Structure/Completeness
The Everett Aqua sox article lacks structure and completeness. I find that the couple of sentences about Ken Griffey Jr. “On June 17, 1987, with 3,122 fans watching, Ken Griffey, Jr., playing for the Bellingham Mariners, hit his first professional home run over the left field wall, with the ball landing in the street approximately 387 feet from home plate. A plaque on the sidewalk marks the site just outside the left field wall at Everett Memorial Stadium” are irrelevant to the Everett Aqua sox page because Ken Griffey Jr. didn’t play for the Aqua sox he played for the Bellingham Mariners. The section where they talk about Ken Griffey Jr. could be added to a Wikipedia article about Ken Griffey or the Everett Memorial Stadium.

Age
The Aqua sox article was created in 2005 and has had a substantial amount of edits. It has had minor edits frequently but it could use some revising. The Everett Aqua Sox team roster is not up to date only five people on the roster that’s on their Wikipedia page are still on the team and the other nine players are not listed on the roster that’s on the Everett Aqua Sox website. One of the citations was retrieved in 25 March 2012 and the title of the citation does not correspond to the article.

Summary
I’d rate this article “Okay”. The Article provides a lot of background on the Aqua sox team but it could use some work. It lacks reliable citations and some of the information on this article is not up to date. I was looking through the Everett AquaSox website and found that the majority of this article was copied and pasted from the about section of the teams website.
