:Nominator(s): – Muboshgu (talk) 18:54, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

My last nomination appears to be set to pass. I only have one question about the presentation of this table: is it best to have each player-manager get one row, or should there be one row per tenure, even if that means some players are listed in multiple rows? – Muboshgu (talk) 18:54, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

• "to serve as a player-managers" en-dash, not hyphen, per the article title.
• Fixed
• Check that throughout the lead.
• Fixed
• "The dual role as player-manager " I would read that as "role of player..." not "role as" but I think it's personal taste.
• Fixed.
• "among the winningest managers " I cannot begin to say how much I loathe the word "winningest", can we not use regular English with "with the most wins" or more generally "most successful"?
• Reworded
• "Today, the player-manager has become rare in baseball. Pete Rose is the most recent player-manager, serving in the dual role from " a touch repetitive, no need to repeat p-m and we already know it's a dual role...
• Fixed.
• "Whereas some player-managers, such as Lou Boudreau, were full-time players as player-managers, by the time Rose became player-manager, he was a part-time player" count the repeats... I know what you're saying but can you rephrase.
• "hit record" I would find a suitable link for "hit" here for the non-baseball audience.
• Link to hit (baseball) added
• "One tough decision " doesn't read particularly encycelopedically.
• Rephrased
• Last lead para, p-m repeated too much for my taste.
• "Cap Anson was a player–manager for thirteen seasons" I count 22?
• I derp'ed in my maths. It's 23 (1875-1897).
• "Lou Boudreau won the Most Valuable Player Award while a player–manager in 1948." ref?
• Ref'd.
• "Player–Manager" in col heading is "Player–manager".
• Fixed.
• "El Tappe served in the College of Coaches while still an active player." ref?
• Ref'd
• Can you just check all other factoids in the captions are referenced?

• "The then-Cleveland Bluebirds were renamed the "Naps" in honor of Nap Lajoie." ref?
• Ref'd – Muboshgu (talk) 21:03, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• "1883, 1884–1889", why not "1883–1889"?
• Fixed – Muboshgu (talk) 21:03, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• "back to John Clapp in 1872" could say who he player-managed?

• "In early baseball history, it was not uncommon for players to serve as a player–managers". Remove "a".
• Recommend linking to bullpen in the third paragraph, as that is a bit of baseball jargon that could use the wikilink.
• Decapitalize "General Manager" in the fourth paragraph.
• "the White Sox considered hiring incumbent first baseman Paul Konerko to seve as manager in addition." "seve" → "serve".
• To expand on TRM's last point, the John Montgomery Ward caption needs a cite.
• I found a citation, and it corrected my error - he didn't become player-manager until later in the season. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• Minor, but ref 6 could use a space between the pp. and numbers, for consistency with the other cites to the Stein book. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:18, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
• Corrected. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:35, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• Wikilinked bullpen. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:49, 6 May 2012 (UTC)}}

• Support – Meets FL standards. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:03, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

• Hello Muboshgu, are you intending to address these remaining concerns? The Rambling Man (talk) 20:56, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• Yes, sorry. I've gotten busy with things at work. I hope to have these settled by tomorrow. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:00, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• I have resolved all of the above concerns. Now it's a matter of getting more reviewers. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:37, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

:*"shot down" - A little informal. "Rejected"?

:*"offseason" - worth a wikilink?

:*"the White Sox considered hiring incumbent first baseman Paul Konerko to serve as manager in addition" - In addition to...?

:*"The then-Cleveland Bluebirds were renamed the "Naps" in honor of Nap Lajoie" - Should we indicate that he was a player-manager?

:*Not many comments from me, leaning support Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:37, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
