 * Comment Can this FLC please be closed. I have a lot of work to do that I cannot finish in a limited time.-- LAA Fan  03:09, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't close it. I will voluntarily finish this FLC nomination free of charge. -- K. Annoyomous   (talk)   04:32, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * comment leaning towards oppose. Sandman888 (talk) Latest FAC 18:00, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't believe the lead is very engaging, and I think a telling sign of such is the lack of quotes to books or newspapers. A stats-site simply cannot back up any brilliant prose without turning into OR. Who is considered significant of these managers, who turned the club around etc? I recommend reading some of the history section of the club article to get some ideas. Sandman888 (talk) Latest FAC 18:00, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I was supposed to cite some secondary sources into the article yesterday, but forgot to. If I have time, I will then research more about the history of the club. -- K. Annoyomous   (talk)   19:10, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support lead is better, not fantastic but I'm satisfied, thanks for the effort. :) Sandman888 (talk) 08:04, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. :D -- K. Annoyomous   (talk)   08:13, 28 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - Re-wrote entire lead. Please re-review the article, and see if any corrections need to be made. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- K. Annoyomous   (talk)   04:52, 21 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll support this, cautiously, presuming another opinion or two on the lead will create a full support shortly. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 00:13, 28 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak oppose. The prose is not up to standards. The list is fine otherwise.  Good raise  03:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Restricted support. Meets criteria 2–6. No comment on criterion 1. Will return to complete the review, if I find the time.  Good raise  14:44, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Should probably mention in the prose (here's an easy place to use a secondary source) that the Braves have retired Eddie Mathews #. Staxringold talkcontribs 16:55, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Support I made some copy-edits a few days ago, and I just did one more due to the FLC being rather long in the tooth. Prose isn't great, but it is hard to make this rather dry subject jump off the page. All the other criteria are fully satisfied. Courcelles 05:40, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
