Ref issue

Don't have time to a full GA review right now, but after reading some of this article for the heck of it, I noticed the refs are rather iffy. Namely, about half just show google archive search, rather than a title, date, etc. They should be done the same way as any other newspaper reference.

Shit, fallen behind on that. I'll fix it this week. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:39, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All fixed. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:55, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review this article in the next couple days. Wizardman 05:08, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here are my issues:

" and were World Series champions ten times." 10
American Association links to a dab page currently.
The first section can just say early life, since early career would be implied there.
"Nebraska for six years, before" rm comma

A few things to work on, will review the rest tomorrow since my eyes are giving out. Wizardman 04:37, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And here's the rest:

"Barrow served as field manager, until " rm comma
"With the Tigers, Barrow feuded with Kid Elberfeld." I'd add shortstop ahead of Kid so we know it's a player; i would've guessed front office before clicking the link.
"Barrow was named Executive of the Year by The Sporting News in 1941, the second time he won the award." when was the first?

Article's now on hold. Wizardman 03:53, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All corrected. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:22, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman 04:30, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New York Yankees

Although the statement that Barrow and Ruth had never gotten along is accurate, according to writer Tom Meany, Barrow helped Ruth manage his financial affairs early on and establish a relationship with the Christy Walsh syndicate, whereby Walsh became Ruth's business manager and kept Ruth from frittering away every dollar he earned. 96.234.201.180 (talk) 02:28, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
