I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 04:41, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Here are the issues I found:
- "with the Detroit Tigers (1975–76)," I presume you mean 74 per the infobox and debut note.
Done - Anything on why Meyer transferred from Arizona? A jump from a major university to community college is certainly unusual.
- "Meyer hit a home run to break up Luis Tian's perfect game bid" Tiant Done
- "His batting average was the highest it would ever be as a Tigers player, despite the decline in at-bats (470 in 1975, 294 in 1976)." I see where you're going, but batting average and at-bats don't really go hand-in-hand, not sure if wording like that is right.
- he led the team in hits, and RBIs. comma not needed Done
- "During the 1986 season, Meyer was absent from professional baseball." anything on a google search on what he may have been doing?
- Make sure in references to link and note the actual newspaper. For example, Ref #8 says Associated Press. The New York Times Company. when the newspaper is actually the Spartanburg Herald-Tribune. A few others have a similar issue.
- Anything on personal/family life? If there's only a little bit that's fine, but essentially nothing at all for a 10-year veteran seems odd; by that extension that bio does seem very stat-driven, which I can understand why that's the way it is, but I know I've gotten talk to for articles like that in the past.
I'll put the article on hold for now. Once these issues are fixed, I'll take another look at the article. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 06:03, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- I'll keep it on hold until the 15, but if there's no changes I'll have to fail the article; can't keep it on hold forever. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:32, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
- I fixed some of the above issues, along with some other MoS-related stuff and some stuff that was linked poorly. -Dewelar (talk) 04:34, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
- Looks good; I'll take a look at the final couple issues myself; wouldn't want to see it failed when it's 99% of the way there. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 22:27, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- I fixed some of the above issues, along with some other MoS-related stuff and some stuff that was linked poorly. -Dewelar (talk) 04:34, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
I went and fixed the couple outstanding issues above. Now that everything has been dealt with, I will pass this article as a GA. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 05:18, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
