Hank Aaron

Recently this article saw a major improvement, and its starting to get close to what I think is FAC-able. Figured i'd run it through PR to get some critiquing.  ALKIVAR™ 16:20, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• I did a bit of copyediting, and I agree, this article is getting close. The article is quite complete, as far as I can tell. My concerns are:

1. No refernces – where did all this info come from?
   • I didnt start this article so I have no idea what the original references are. I merely tablified data and added photographs.
2. Redundant links everywhere – some of those ball clubs have to be linked half a dozen times.
   • I completely agree, I'll put some effort into this when I get a chance.
3. Dating – the Wiki software doesn't support dates that have a "year in sports" instead of "year". That is, 10 February 1957 and February 10, 1957 show up differently. If the year links were to the actual year and not to the year in sports, all users would see the date according to their preferences. Thus, I think all those links need to be changed.
   • I was not aware of this, I'll do what I can.
4. This is a very big article. Could we put the League Leadership Rankings on a separate page? --Spangineer ∞ 00:41, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)
   • I get the feeling if they were spun off they'd be deleted as "Wikipedia is not a Baseball Statistics guide" as they are now they are relevant, I'd like to hear a few more opinions before I do anything about this issue. You should have seen the article BEFORE I put those in tables... it was a straight text dump that went on for like 40 pages.  ALKIVAR™ 00:52, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• I did the major revision a few days ago by adding the template, pictures and flushing out the article. What do I need to do to help finish it? GorristerGorrister 13:26, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

1. • I personally don't like the stats. I think a link to a stats site would be better but I hesitated deleting it because somebody took a lot of time to do them.
