Rate Attribute Review Comment
1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. Almost all sentences begin with Hiller or He (besides opening clauses). Could rework some to have a different subject to improve flow of prose.
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
2c. it contains no original research.
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). Almost too much information. Could trim some sections, but passes.
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
7. Overall assessment. It's a GA. Good work, Cbl62

Strikeout record

[edit]

John Hiller's 6 consecutive strikeouts in 1968 was NOT a major league record, as our article stated in both the lede and body until just now. The record had been 8 for over a decade. As our source clarifies, 6 was the record to start off a game, a rather significant distinction. -Elmer Clark (talk) 05:49, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Earned run average

[edit]

The article states that Hiller won the 1973 American League ERA title, and that his Adjusted ERA+ in 1973 is the third-best figure in Major League Baseball history. However, Major League Baseball rules clearly state that in order to qualify for the league lead in ERA, you must average a minimum of one inning per game your team has played (162 in a normal, uninterrupted season), and Hiller "only" pitched 125 innings during his stellar 1973 season. Baseball-Reference does not list Hiller as the 1973 AL ERA champion, nor is he listed on the leaderboard of best Adjusted ERA+ seasons. 209.90.140.72 (talk) 02:02, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
