   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• In lead: "Bruntlett signed with the Astros, who selected him in the ninth round of the 2000 MLB draft" change part of that to "who had selected him"
  •  Done
• "he went 5-for-8" changed to "batted" at least on this first instance.
  •  Done
• "The 1999 season proved to be a breakout for Bruntlett," change to "The 1999 season was a breakout year for Bruntlett.
  •  Done
• "as he did not appear on Stanford's playoff roster" change part of that to "as he had not appeared on"
  •  Done
• "The Houston Astros selected Bruntlett in the ninth round, 277th overall, of the 2000 MLB draft," change to "The Houston Astros selected Bruntlett in the ninth round, with the 277th overall pick, of the 2000 MLB draft,
  •  Done
• "who assigned him to the Martinsville Astros of the Appalachian League" what level of the minors was that?
  • Rookie-level. Added.
• "The Zephyrs only recalled Bruntlett to Triple-A for the final game of the season after the Milwaukee Brewers claimed second baseman Keith Ginter" How did the Brewers "claim" Ginter if he was with the Astros?
  • The source says about Ginter that He was outrighted to the Zephyrs, but the Milwaukee Brewers claimed him. However, the consensus from other sources is that Ginter was the PTBNL in a Mark Loretta trade, so I added a source and reworded accordingly.
• I can't see ref 33 but I'll just trust that it says that what it's citing.
• "instead assigned to the Syracuse Chiefs, where he factored as their starting third baseman" Was he competing for the job or WAS he the starter? Could you reword please? Also, I assume that is Triple A?
  • Only ref I could find says "was", so reworded accordingly.
• "On June 17, the New York Yankees organization signed him to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees" Triple A?
  • Reworded.
• Do you mind if I change the commons box to "commonscatinline"? If there is only one line of external links then the commons box creates extra whitespace on the left side of the extetnal links section. Not a big deal either way though.
  • Go for it, I assume you know what you're talking about.

Spot checks:

• Ref 14: Ratto, Ray (June 4, 1999). "'Dog' finally earns a bone on the Farm". San Francisco Examiner
  • Looks good.
• Ref 24: Point, Michael (June 15, 2001). "Surprisingly, Express might be bigger hit this year than last". Austin American-Statesman
  • This is probably picky but that ref doesn't technically say they were Double A.
    • I think WP:CK applies here as a logical assumption that can be easily verified. Article from 2001 references the Express. You can validate with a simple click that in 2001, the Express were a Double-A team. Another source is probably overkill.
• Ref 25: Washburn, Jeff (July 18, 2001). "Professional Hitter". Journal & Courier
  • That ref doesn't actually say he made the adjustment in order to "make better contact". It just said he had a slump.
    • Reworded in line with Bruntlett's direct quote about seeing the ball better.
• Ref 35: Holton, Avery (June 26, 2003). "Dominguez dominates Express". Austin American-Statesman
  • Looks good.
• Ref 80: Salisbury, Jim (March 13, 2008). "Versatility and Bruntlett go hand in gloves". The Philadelphia Inquirer
  • The ref doesn't explicity say all of that but I see what you mean so I think it's okay.

Amazing research on this. Great article! ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:43, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
