 * Nominator(s): &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  22:13, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Current nom has five supports and no open comments. Comments to be expediently addressed. Cheers. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  22:13, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * File comments:

File:Pop Williams 1.jpg and File:Cy Williams Baseball.jpg need updated URLs, and File:GeorgeWood.jpg needs a source. Albacore (talk) 03:21, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Albacore (talk) 00:15, 20 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Wood done. Williamses will require a more thorough search. I will undertake this sometime in the next 72 hours (can't promise anything, very busy in the next day or two). &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  11:48, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Or now. Easier than I thought. Done. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  12:15, 8 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Support cripes, are we done?! The Rambling Man (talk) 19:41, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope. Still got the major one. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  22:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "He amassed an 38–53 pitching record...". "an" → "a".
 * "while batting .260 with seven home runs as an third baseman." Same as above.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:18, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * My lands, what is wrong with me? I blame the mergers... Done. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  13:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support – Excellent, just like the rest of the lists in this series. FLC has been fortunate to have them come through here, as they really do set a great example of what can be done with lists. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 00:04, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Epic effort, and good to see it all coming to a successful looking conclusion here! Couple of minor comments:
 * Comments from  Harrias  talk
 * What is a "position player"? This should be clarified with a note or a link.
 * "One player, Bucky Walters, has made 30% or more of his Phillies appearances as a pitcher and a position player." – Did he as both a pitcher and a position player in 30% of his games? Ie, only pitched for part of the game, and uhmmm.. positioned for the rest? (My ignorance shines brightly with this question I think!)  Harrias  talk 14:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Last sentence of first paragraph explains the difference between position players (the "offensive players") and pitchers. As to Walters, he played as a pitcher in >30% of his appearances, and at another, non-pitching position (primarily third base in this case) at >30% of his appearances. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  14:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Right; it's not clear from the article that "position player" means the same as "offensive player", so I still think some clarification is needed. For the Walters sentence, I had assumed the other version, so again I think a clarification is needed, though I'll admit, I'm at something of a loss as to how it would be worded.  Harrias  talk 14:37, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll take care of the link, although I do have to go back through the entire series and do it now. I mulled over that wording when originally writing and it's the best I could come up with. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  16:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  16:30, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
