Hello again, Go Phightins! I'll be reviewing this GAN for you. I will try to leave initial feedback either tomorrow or Saturday before I go on vacation for a week. When I get back (August 22), I'll begin my detailed review. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 22:52, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am here with some initial feedback. Let's start off with the good: as far as content goes, this is a very nice article, and most of my detailed feedback will be regarding mechanics and not the content. Also, dablinks show no issues. However, checklinks shows a lot of dead references, so please go there and replace the dead links and also make sure that there are no bare citations (usuing reflinks). Once I return from my vacation next week, I will begin my detailed review.

I don't see any barelinks? Will look at checklinks soon. Go Phightins! 19:19, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the confusion; the only issue here (based on my initial feedback) is the issue with the dead links, so replace those using checklinks once you can so that I can start adding detailed feedback. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 03:29, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- OK. @Bob305 and Newyorkadam: Could you help with this process? If you use the external links tool to the right, you'll see that many of the sources I cited have gone dead. Any help you could provide in tracking down either the same articles elsewhere, or something to back up the information would be great. I learned my lesson; I should archive sources immediately. Alas. Thanks! Go Phightins! 03:37, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Go Phightins!: You know you can go right to Checklinks and if you click the little thing, it'll replace it for you, right? I only recently discovered this little trick myself and it saves a lot of time. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 03:26, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I learned that about a week ago! Hey, I am not ignoring this review. This week is just a real life nightmare time-wise, so I will get to it ASAP, if you don't mind leaving the review open a bit. Go Phightins! 10:24, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to do it, but it seems checklinks is down right now. I'll try again later. -Newyorkadam (talk) 21:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Newyorkadam[reply]
I've replaced the ones I could; most of the MLB.com links that were marked as down were actually just redirects, and I've updated some of their links. The ref to kentucky.com is saved on web.archive.org, but for some reason it redirects to an "unaccessible" page on web.archive.org after one second, so I let it be. I couldn't find a backup for "Phillies release OF Gwynn" (Chicago Tribune). -Newyorkadam (talk) 06:18, 29 August 2015 (UTC)Newyorkadam[reply]

@Sportsguy17: Are you going to have time to do a review at some point? Go Phightins! 02:44, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He hasn't edited in nearly a month,so I'm going to put it back in the queue. Wizardman 01:25, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
