Lopata/Seminick confusion[edit]

Retrosheet box score for October 1, 1950 game against the Dodgers, shows Seminick being pulled for pinch runner Caballero in the ninth inning and shows Caballero out caught stealing. Then box score shows Stan Lopata replacing Seminick as catcher and making the tag on Abrams.Orsoni (talk) 09:40, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:20, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After a skim, I do have a quandary before I start off. From the looks of things, I imagine that this article would be awfully similar to the 1950 Phillies season one in terms of structure. I was hoping for an emphasis on bringing in some of this young talent over the past year or two, but I don't see that in the article. That should definitely be added in the before 1950 section. Granted, my opinion on this might change once I read through the article, but I guess my concern would be that if that article was worked on next, then we would end up with two extremely similar articles.

Yeah I know that this article needs a lot of work before GA. I was confused when I saw a GA review because the nominator didn't notify primary contributors. I have a lot of research materials but no time right now. — KV5 • Talk • 19:16, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Duly noted. I'll just close the review then, since you'll knew when it's complete and when to nominate it better than others. Hope to see it at GAN again soon though. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:34, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
