  • "Sounds. 13 April 2008. Retrieved" – Proper formatting is with brackets I believe, like "Sounds. (13 April 2008). Retrieved". Check WP:CITE/ES to confirm.

  • In the examples provided in the link (APA style), yes, that is the way to do it. But, read the first sentence of the page: "There is currently no consensus on a preferred citation style or system for Wikipedia." What matters most is that they are consistant. The references in this list use a slightly modified form of MLA style. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 15:56, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "has employed 21 managers and eight general managers"—Per MOS, comparative quantities should either all spelled out (twenty-one managers and eight general managers) or all written in digits (21 managers and 8 general managers).
  • Instead of piping the season links through solitary years ("George Scherger led the team to win the Southern League title in 1979 as the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.") make it clearer that you are linking to a season page ("George Scherger led the team to win the Southern League title in the 1979 season as the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds."
  • "In 2005, as the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, Frank Kremblas managed the team to a Pacific Coast League title." How does one "manage" a team to win?
  • "Trent Jewett won a total of 320 games from 1998 to 2000 and 2003 to 2004, placing him first on the all-time wins list for Sounds managers." Dabomb87 (talk) 15:05, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Concealed year-links in table: So readers know that they're not just trivial year-page links, can you put a note in the key that in that column, they all go to ....? Tony (talk) 03:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
