- ... that Gil Kim played professional baseball in the Netherlands, China, Australia, Spain, and Venezuela, scouted in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, and coaches in Canada?

The article is brand new and long enough, and is for the most part well-sourced throughout. I would suggest copying the first reference to the sentence mentioning his time in Spain and Venezuela, as I didn't see the Venezuelan team mentioned in the existing cite, but the hook is cited to reliable sources and I didn't find any close paraphrasing concerns in the sources I looked at. The hook seems interesting enough (to me at least) and meets formatting criteria. We're just waiting on a QPQ review here. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:45, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Giants2008, oops, you're right, the National Post doesn't give the VPBL team name. The Republican and Herald source and the Newberg MLB.com source do, so I have addressed that inline citation issue. I've completed QPQ. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:13, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
With those items taken care of, this article looks ready to go now. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:40, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Muboshgu: could the bit on the Netherlands be cited before I promote? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 08:31, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron:, you mean like this? I maintain that this application of the inline citation rule is silly. The citation was there for both sentences. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:40, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- In truth, I actually couldn't find the reference to the Netherlands at all – I only found it in the lead (didn't read for "dutch"), so I figured a cite would be needed up there. That's good, though, thanks :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 19:44, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
