;Comments from Legolas2186
  • The wins and losses are the same nos?
No, wins are 9,945, losing 9,954; approximately .500
  • Hank Aaron's picture would serve better in the led.
Replaced
  • Where and how the table keys are being used except for the last one? Can you please explain?
Yes, the asterisk is used in the Individual single-season records for triples. The others are abbreviations used throughout the article.
  • The column "Braves career" contains date ranges only which needs to be crippled per MOS:DATERANGE. For eg: dates within same century should be 1954–74, instead of 1954–1974.
Per what, specifically, in the MOS? A link would be helpful; MOS:DATERANGE is nonexistent.
  • Baseball-refernce.com, MLB.com are all online sources and they shouldn't appear italicized in the reference. Please correct all of them.
Per what, specifically, in the MOS?
  • Also, is there really no other third party sources reporting these statistics other than these two primary websites? Any news sources etc? Did you try to look for them?
Added a third party source for the batting average MLB record.

These are some comments I could find. Spotchecks not done. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:38, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • "This list documents the superlative records and accomplishments of team members during their tenures as Atlanta Braves in Major League Baseball's National League East." The team wasn't always in Atlanta, and wasn't always in a division. A more accurate ending would be "of team members during their tenures as Braves in MLB." (use the abbreviation if it's already been provided)
Reworded
Can we get rid of "the" before MLB in this sentence? No one calls it "the MLB" like they do for the other major U.S. sports leagues; they just say MLB. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:06, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Removed "the" Albacore (talk) 22:46, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Surprised that Hank Aaron's home run leadership isn't mentioned, since that is the (former) record he is most remembered for. You could say the same for RBI.
Added home run leadership. Albacore (talk) 13:21, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't need two batting average links in the lead.
Fixed
  • "while John Clarkson is tied with himself...". Confusing at first glance. I'm wondering whether some more explanation would be worthwhile.
Reworded
  • Vic Willis photo caption: "batsman" should be "batsmen".
Fixed
  • Check the player sorting for single-game pitching records. Barrett is sorting after Smoltz, which is incorrect for sorting by last name.
For me it sorts like it's supposed to.
I agree with Giants, it sorts incorrectly. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Now it sorts in the order of Barrett, Smoltz, Niekro. Not sure if it was that way before or if I misread it the first time. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:06, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Now fixed, Smoltz was sorting as "Johnson". Albacore (talk) 22:48, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also check to see if the photo captions require periods at the end.
Fixed, see below

Comments
  • "in a single season two times in his MLB" twice?
  • Willis caption needs a period.
  • Nichols caption - should have a period and (pictured) could be in italics.
