List of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim managers

[edit]

This is a co-nomination with LAAFan (talk · contribs) After he created the list, I "renovated" the table to make it look like other head coaches lists and copyedited the lead. We now think it meets all criteria. Thanks for the comments in advance. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 15:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You should have the publishers thing locked down by now, methinks :| Gary King (talk) 20:28, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, true. I actually didn't add the references this time. I saw that it was missing the publishers, but forgot to add them later. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 20:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, that was me who forgot that, not MFC. --LAAFan 22:02, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-That's a tall order, but I fixed them all except for a few.--LAAFan 00:24, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why'd you put done on some of the ones that weren't? Annoyomous24 (talk) 02:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the "stop lying please" to working. The computer I was working on somehow erased some of my copyedits. However, I do not appreciate "stop lying please". I have found one instance, (Jim Fregosi) where I fixed, it but you didn't see it. Review your edits twice, please. Don't be uncivil.--LAAFan 02:44, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please relink the years that aren't linked in the table, please. Annoyomous24 23:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If I did that, I would be linking twice in the same table, as I lniked those years already in the table. If you find one where I just missed a year, please let me know.--LAAFan 18:08, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Annoyomous24 20:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Comment One more thing, put the term in a ####–## form, not ####–#### form.[reply]

Can you please explain why you oppose? I fixed all of your requests. If you have any more, please drop me a line.--LAAFan 20:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support I guess I'll support then if baseball seasons are like that. Good job!Annoyomous24 20:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Ref 2 needs an author.
 Done Instead, I just removed the reference altogether. I looked at it, and the reference only supports that Dick Williams entered the hall, not that he's the first Angels manager to enter.
    • The "Manager of the Year"s need references.
 Done I don't know how it was messed up, but I made a mistake by placing Bill Rigney as an award winner, when the award wasn't given until 1983, so I removed that. As for Scioscia, I added the award info in the intro with a reference to support.
    • Major League Baseball is linked twice in quick succession.
 Done
    • "2007,), " spare comma.
 Done by Annoyomous24
    • "61-63 start" not clear to a non-expert what this is, and needs an en-dash anyway.
 Done Re-worded
    • "have had two or more stints as manager." as far as I can see, none of them have had more than two stints.
 Done
