Most of those are my noms. No rush on them, enjoy your weekend. I was expecting them to be waiting for review for a while longer than this was. Also, if you're in the mood for similar GAN's, there's the other articles from that DYK hook. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:27, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
I temporarily don't have access to my offline sources, so i might as well review since article writing's out for a couple days. Here's what I found:
"and New York Giants 1904 and " in 1904
"The Washington Senators of the NL purchased McGann, Butts Wagner, Bob McHale and Cooney Snyder from Toronto for $8,500 ($237,456 in current dollar terms) on September 22, 1897." would like this+sentence after cited. Not seeing it in the sabr ref. I presume it's b-r but i could be wrong.
"He played one year on with the Orioles," rm on
"setting a NL record" I think an NL would be right.
"McGann continued his reputation as a fighter in 1905." The article notes a lot about McGann, but being a fighter didn't seem to be one of them (at least not before this sentence). Either add something earlier in the article so that this makes sense or reword the sentence.
Yep. I'll look into beefing up his rep as a fighter by tomorrow. If this stands any chance as an FA (and I don't know that it does), that will need to be talked about more. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:26, 22 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
I see some things there, and I'll try to incorporate them. For now, I changed the wording from "continued his reputation" to "developed his reputation". That should suffice for a GA, and I can work adding more, and decide if I want to take it to FAC. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:53, 23 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
