It's the same as always, folks; review and enjoy! KV5 (Talk • Phils) 16:32, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments – Three Baseball-Reference links are showing up as dead. Giants2008 (17-14) 22:39, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found a fourth, and fixed all. Done. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 22:48, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Before finding the dead links, I was on the verge of giving a rare straight support. Great lists like this really make reviewing easy. Wish they could all be this simple for me. Giants2008 (17-14) 21:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

  • "Steve Garvey and Mark Grace have won four Gold Gloves at first base." You say they won four at first base. Does that mean they've won Gold Gloves at other positions too?
  • No... I did explain below that Darin Erstad is the only one who has won at multiple positions. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 13:53, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re-worded slightly to be clearer. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 14:05, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 23 – use "page" instead of "pages" in the cite template, since you're using only one page. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:30, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:04, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from SRE.K.A.L.24

Comments from -- SRE.K.A.L.24[c]

  • ...the most "superior individual fielding performances" at each position... --> ...the most "superior individual fielding performances" at their respective positions...
  • Says the same thing, but is wordier. The current wording is more succinct. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 00:47, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • winning season --> award winning season, since winning season may be misinterpreted that their team had a winning percentage of over .500.
  • Parker and Snow achieved a .999 fielding percentage in those seasons... --> Parker and Snow achieved a .999 fielding percentage in their own award winning seasons...
  • Ambiguous; they won more than once. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 00:47, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support I was going to come back to this nomination, but had plans this afternoon, which was why I couldn't reply back. Sorry for that. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 01:36, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Mild oppose
    • "to have the most" perhaps "to have made the most"...? Actually most superior sounds a little strange. Perhaps "judged to have made "superior fielding performances..."?
      • That's a direct quote, so I'm not going to alter the inside. I'll take a look at altering it, though it will have to be changed in all 5 lists now. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • I made some additional changes here; turns out the "direct quote" that was originally in the main article isn't actually a direct quote. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 12:07, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is there a link for baseball fielding positions? There is. Link it first time, rather than second time.
      • I linked it where I did because the word "position" by itself is ambiguous, due to non-fielding positions like the designated hitter. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • "commemorate the best fielding performance at each position in baseball", "only one Gold Glove per position was awarded to the top fielder at each position in all of Major League Baseball" repetitive - I know these are the bare facts but the prose is pretty repetitive.
      • If the changes I've made are acceptable, let me know. I'm not going to change the other lists until I know this one is fine. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • What happened in 1985 and 2007?
      • There were ties in the outfield, but they aren't particularly relevant to the non-outfield articles. The information about that is explicated in the main article. I could put a "see Rawlings Gold Glove Award" link if it would help. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • "though the circumstances were disputed; see below" - not necessary as you expand on it below anyway.
    • "Among winners" Among the winners? KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • A direct article isn't particularly necessary here, and this is consistent with the way it's used in many other baseball awards articles. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • What's a DH?
    • Ref should be Ref(s)
      • I don't think that's really necessary; "Ref" could stand for reference or references. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 12:26, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Youkilis image features more than one person. Which one is he?
  • The Rambling Man (talk) 10:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC
  • Nearly done
    • "taking home 11 consecutive " a little colloquial for me. "taking 11 consecutive awards"?
      • I worry about saying "award" too many times. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • Then perhaps look at a different phrasing altogether. I'm still not really happy with the language here. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • "the least errors in a season" should that be "the fewest errors in a season"? The Rambling Man (talk) 12:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support nicely done. Great constructive responses and edits to my criticisms, well done. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:27, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
