Similar list to a previous project of mine, 3,000 strikeout club. Eventually it'd be nice to have all 4 of MLB's big "club" milestones (along with the 300 win club and 500 home run club) featured, but those 2 others are much "bigger" in terms of the attention paid so will be larger projects.

  • Having trouble coming up with problems, but is it worth mentioning somewhere that this only includes regular season hits? Also, in ref 38, there's no need to write " pp. 346." to reference a single page- "p. 346." is better. Courcelles (talk) 09:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm easily pleased, support. (Won't bother capping something this short!) Courcelles (talk) 18:14, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I would love to see the general reference repeated in an external links section as well, but that's just me!BLUEDOGTN 04:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from KV5
Comments from KV5
  • comma after "(MLB)"
  • comma after "until 1984"
  • "Notably tThis was not Clemente's last game"
  • "meaning they could bat from either side of the plate." - sounds a little informal but I'm not sure what to suggest
  • "Four players-Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Murray, and Rafael Palmeiro-" - those hyphens should be spaced en-dashes or unspaced em-dashes.
  • "with a triple," - change comma to semicolon
  • "Pete Rose was declared" - can remove first name, has already been stated
  • Is there a reason that the table width is fixed so narrow? The tenures and most names break onto two lines that way.
  • No more images besides Rose?
  • I'll add a couple. Problem is the table is short enough there's not a ton of room. Staxringold talkcontribs 21:04, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Match navbox to title of article.

Hope these comments help. — KV5 • Talk • 17:30, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • One of these sentences beginning with a number again, at the start of the second paragraph.
  • Comma after "switch hitters"?
  • "Four players–Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Murray, and Rafael Palmeiro–are also members...". I'm pretty sure the en dashes should be spaced in such a scenario, or be em dashes.
  • Another comma needed in number: "3000th hit" in third paragraph.
  • Are the players supposed to sort by first name? I'm more used to last-name sorting myself. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 00:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "reach 4,000 hits in 1927,[1] ultimately finishing his career with more than 4,100 hits." no need for that last "hits"
  • "finished his career with 4,256 hits. Roberto Clemente ended his career with" repetitive, perhaps, "Roberto Clemente's career ended with..."?
  • "when the plane he " plane is a little colloquial, maybe aircraft?
  • "In total, 27 players have reached the 3,000 hit club in MLB history. [new para] Of these 27 club members," - I would start the new para before the "In total" and then not say "27 club members", just "Of these, ..."
  • "Lajoie while they were known as the "Naps"" just to be super-clear for non-experts, perhaps "Lajoie (while the franchise was known as the "Naps")..."
  • "Paul Molitor is the only player to do so with a triple" this reads as if he hit a home run with a triple. While this may not be possible, to a non-expert the structure and sequence of these sentences could lead to confusion.
  • "for at least 6 months" six.
  • Refs 7 & 8 appear to be missing accessdates.

I may not be online frequently over the next few days so I'll happily leave Dabomb87 or his delegate to decide if my concerns (if they're valid) have been dealt with. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:11, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
