Review commentary

 * Notices left at Zerbey, MisfitToys, Ta bu shi da yu (only editors with over 10 edits), WikiProject Biography, WikiProject Baseball--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 20:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

A cursory glance shows that this article has received little recent attention and has very substandard citations (violating WP:WIAFA section 1c).--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 20:22, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The article hasn't been updated lately because there's really nothing else to add at this time. I'll doublecheck and see if he's done anything recently.  Citations are poor as they were not considered a big deal when this article was nominated.  Tomorrow, I'll go through my notes and get some proper citations in there.  Zerbey 21:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed a few, more tomorrow. Zerbey 21:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll add fact tags to what needs to be fixed. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Now I'm looking at it, we also need to modify the following slightly, in conformance with NPOV and NOR:
 * On the other hand, a pitcher is generally considered wild if he averaged four walks per nine innings, and it's safe to say that a pitcher of average repertoire who consistently walked as many as nine men per nine innings would shortly be out of work. But such was the allure of Dalkowski's velocity; the Orioles gave him chance after chance to harness his stuff, knowing that if he ever were able to control it, he'd be unstoppable.
 * Shouldn't be hard to do though. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Update? Some progress has been made, but there are still citations needs, and refs aren't formatted (see WP:CITE/ES). Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 20:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm still working on it, but I'm one volunteer with limited resources and time :-) Zerbey 03:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Suggested FA criteria concern is citations (1c). Marskell 15:52, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Comments. Lots to be done still.  I did some cleanup. It looks like the sources are there in case others want to pitch in to help cite.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 21:59, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Remove, no progress, needs citations. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 20:28, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delist, this article needs some major fixing up. Wizardman  01:19, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Remove More work needed with citations. Jay32183 21:30, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
