Template:Ping - Pinging in case you hadn't seen my comments. Are you able to address these and provide a QPQ? CSJJ104 (talk) 18:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for the ping, CSJJ. I will address these points shortly. Cbl62 (talk) 19:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Template:Ping The issues you raised have been fixed, with the exception of the manner of citation in the roster section. Whereas the game log section has a separate source for each line item, each entry in the roster section is supported by the same two citations which are provided at the end of the section. In similar cases (e.g. GA-rated 2008 Philadelphia Phillies season#Roster), it is common practice is to list the roster source only once. It would be possible, but repetitious, to include the same two citations after each and every entry on the roster. I will do it if necessary for DYK passage, but it is contrary to normal practice and strikes me as sub-optimal. Cbl62 (talk) 20:56, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Template:Ping It doesn't have to be a separate column, but the issue at the moment is that the citations appear unattached to any particular text. The example you give has the citations attached to the text introducing the table, this would be acceptable here if some text were added. Other alternatives are to add the citation templates to the top of each column, or to add a table caption and add them there. CSJJ104 (talk) 22:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Template:Ping Done. Thanks for your help in reviewing the hook and improving the hook. Negro league teams have been neglected on Wikipedia, and I'm excited to have this appear on the main page! Cbl62 (talk) 03:16, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Symbol voting keep.svg Problems with citations and clarity of hook have been addressed. Article is new enough and long enough, and a QPQ has been done. Offline source accepted in good faith. CSJJ104 (talk) 11:53, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
