Lee Smith (baseball)

This article was a COTW back in mid-August, and the editors involved made some serious corrections, cleanup and expansion of the article. I would like to bring this up to FA status eventually, but I wante d to come here first to get an idea as to where the article stands, as it is. Here are some things I am concerned about:

Style issues
Factual accuracy issues
Referencing (I know there is one statement that is not verified)
Any other miscellaneous things that I have not mentioned

What sort of factual accuracy are you concerned about? —Wknight94 (talk) 21:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, just any basic things someone could have possibly botched up. It's a pretty long article, and it only has <20 references. I'm not worried about something specific, but more in a general perspective. Nishkid 64 21:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Well basically, most of the stats came from baseball-reference.com or thebaseballcube.com and those are mentioned at the bottom of the article. It almost seems like we need some kind of fact checking indicator for articles like this which are largely derived from statistical references. A way to say that someone has verified the correctness of such details. Or, technically, maybe it's all considered original research since it's taken from a reference like that. I guess that's what a peer review is for! If that were the case, you could pretty much rewrite every sports-related article in the system... :) —Wknight94 (talk) 21:48, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
