Houston Astros[edit]

Well I was thinking, that the article itself is good, and it represents a neutral note of the team, and it shows a good "heartwarming" story on how a mediocre team went to the World Series. I'm a fan of it myself (also a Toronto Blue Jays fan), that this team deserves it's publicity through it's good-well thought out article. Falconleaf 22:49, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object Unfortunately, good doesn't make featured status. Per WP:WIAFA, the article is missing references and inline citations (see WP:V, WP:CITE). The lead fails WP:LEAD. As has been argued in edit wars, The Houston Astros is a Major League Baseball team. There are typos that need to be fixed, for example ten-team National League The team (missing period). There are also a couple of stylistic problems, including overlinking of years (see WP:MOSDATE), linking in headings, starting with "The" in headings, over-capitalizing in headings (as in Destroy, Fire Sale, and Rebuild) (see WP:MOS#Headings). Also, trivia sections generally are looked down upon as being trivial and unnecessary. Suggest a peer review first. AZ _t 01:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong object - should go to peer review to prepare for FAC. Short lead, no references, doesn't conform to WP:MOS, has a trivia section, needs a thorough copy edit. Sandy 22:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
