List of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim managers
This is a co-nomination with After he created the list, I "renovated" the table to make it look like other head coaches lists and copyedited the lead. We now think it meets all criteria. Thanks for the comments in advance. « Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  15:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Remove the period in "Mike Scioscia, the current manager of the Angels." – it's a sentence fragment
 * Removed. « Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  20:23, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Most of the references are missing publishers.
 * Added publishers. « Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  20:23, 6 July 2008 (UTC)


 * You should have the publishers thing locked down by now, methinks :| Gary King ( talk ) 20:28, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, true. I actually didn't add the references this time. I saw that it was missing the publishers, but forgot to add them later. « Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  20:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that was me who forgot that, not MFC. -- LAA Fan  22:02, 6 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment
 * Lead is too long. make it into 3 paragraphs


 * In the sentence, "The Angels are based in the Anaheim, California.", it should be "in Anaheim, California."


 * link all the years to the year of the MLB season.


 * You don't have to quote mark "interim".


 * "First, in 1969," should be "In 1969".


 * "One year later" should be "A year later".


 * "he was Jim Fregosi" should be just "Jim Fregosi".


 * "substituted" should be "was replaced".


 * "One season later" should be "A season later".


 * "as manager mid-season" should be "as manager in the mid-season".


 * "multiple" should be "two or more".


 * delete "Scioscia led the team into a World Series championship in 2002." since your repeating the sentence from the second paragraph.


 * All the years in the table should be linked to the year of the MLB season. e.g "1961" to "1961 MLB season" or if there is, "1961 Anaheim Angels season".


 * "John McNamara" should be linked to "John McNamara (baseball)" in the third paragraph.


 * In the first paragraph, it says "There have been 20 managers in the history of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Major League Baseball franchise." but on the table, there is 25 managers in the history of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

✅
 * You should mention that the franchise used to be called just "Anaheim Angels".
 * On the table, there shouldn't be a 21 beside John McNamara.


 * All the terms that have been less than one season should be just linked to one season. e.g "1972-1972" should be just "1972"


 * At the end of the table, put Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the link to "Category:Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim".


 * On the picture, "Mike Scioscia, the current manager of the Angels", should be "Mike Scioscia (left), the current manager of the Angels".

-That's a tall order, but I fixed them all except for a few.-- LAA Fan  00:24, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Why'd you put done on some of the ones that weren't? Annoyomous 24  (talk) 02:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I changed the "stop lying please" to working. The computer I was working on somehow erased some of my copyedits. However, I do not appreciate "stop lying please". I have found one instance, (Jim Fregosi) where I fixed, it but you didn't see it. Review your edits twice, please. Don't be uncivil.-- LAA Fan  02:44, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Please relink the years that aren't linked in the table, please. Annoyomous  24  23:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If I did that, I would be linking twice in the same table, as I lniked those years already in the table. If you find one where I just missed a year, please let me know.-- LAA Fan  18:08, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Oppose Annoyomous  24  20:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Comment One more thing, put the term in a ####–## form, not ####–#### form.
 * Hockey may be like that, but baseball seasons are not put that way. « Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  20:42, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you please explain why you oppose? I fixed all of your requests. If you have any more, please drop me a line.-- LAA Fan  20:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Support I guess I'll support then if baseball seasons are like that. Good job! Annoyomous 24  20:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Ref 2 needs an author.
 * ✅ Instead, I just removed the reference altogether. I looked at it, and the reference only supports that Dick Williams entered the hall, not that he's the first Angels manager to enter.


 * The "Manager of the Year"s need references.
 * ✅ I don't know how it was messed up, but I made a mistake by placing Bill Rigney as an award winner, when the award wasn't given until 1983, so I removed that. As for Scioscia, I added the award info in the intro with a reference to support.


 * Major League Baseball is linked twice in quick succession.


 * "2007,), " spare comma.
 * ✅ by Annoyomous24


 * "61-63 start" not clear to a non-expert what this is, and needs an en-dash anyway.
 * ✅ Re-worded


 * "have had two or more stints as manager." as far as I can see, none of them have had more than two stints.
