I'll start the review shortly. Albacore (talk) 01:36, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Damn. I just nominated this two hours ago. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:26, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

No DAB links but a dead link [2]
- No problem. I don't use that site, it was there from before when I started the article, and I'm removing it now. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Baseball year discourages linking years in text
- {{by}} seems only to be used in the infobox. The text uses straight links. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure we need to link American
- Yeah, probably not needed. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Bordagaray was the middle of seven children. Not sure there is a middle of seven?
- The fourth child has three older and three younger. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
He publicly held out during the offseason, which became an annual tradition for Bordagaray. unsure of what "held out" means, sounds idiomatic
- More detail added. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 5 needs an ndash
- Fixed. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Unsure of why 1932 and 1933 seasons are skipped.
- An omission I've rectified. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:02, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
First two paragraphs in Major League Baseball could be combined to avoid a stubby paragraph
- Done. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:31, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Link bit role in the lead
- Didn't know there was a page for that. It's linked. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:34, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
With the Cardinals, Bordagaray served as a utility man, backing up Don Gutteridge at third base and outfielders Joe Medwick, Terry Moore, Don Padgett and Martin. reference needed.
- Yeah, I couldn't verify it, so I removed it. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:31, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In 1938, Bordagaray was used mostly as a bench player, as Enos Slaughter joined the team and Gutteridge and Moore both improved. Ref?
- Sentence rewritten and ref provided. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:41, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
He struggled with the Reds in 1939, batting .197 with a .252 OBP and .254 SLG in 63 games reference doesn't say he "struggled"
- Sentence reworded. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:15, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
player-manager ndash
- Fixed. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:50, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Death isn't mentioned? What about where he is intered?
- Death and cemetary mentioned. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:50, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put the article on hold and re-look later. Albacore (talk) 14:59, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All done. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:31, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Further

I'm still uncomfortable with you linking years in the main text. This violates WP:EGG, and these should be removed. Other than that I'm happy enough to pass. Albacore (talk) 14:19, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. All year links now appear as "xxxx season" or "xxxx team". – Muboshgu (talk) 15:36, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pass. Albacore (talk) 15:48, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
