... that Al LeBoeuf was diagnosed with a rare condition in 2012 from an injury he suffered in 1985?

Comment: Decided to pipe the name of the condition because nobody has ever heard of it (unless you have it or research it). Is there a better word to use than "suffered"?

Hi Muboshgu, review follows: article created 22 October and exceeds minimum length; it is well written and cited to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any problems with overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article (I added "rare" to support the hook, it appears in the source), and checks out to the source cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Thee minor comments:

The lead says he was "a coach and manager in the minors from 1989 to 2024" but the article says he joined the Milwaukee Brewers in 2010 and their article says they are a major league team? I don't know anything about baseball so I might be missing something.
His birth place and date are stated only in the lead and/or infobox and not cited
The article says "LeBouef was diagnosed with multiple myeloma" but the source cited only says "a cancerous spot"

Once these are addressed should be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 22:30, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

@Muboshgu: Please address the above.--Laun chba ller 01:23, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping. I did not see the review. 1) He worked for the Brewers organization in their farm system, not in the major leagues. I clarified that he was a minor league coach when hired. 2) The external link supports the birth date and place. I added Putnam native to the personal life section. 3) Yes the reference supporting "multiple myeloma" did not say "multiple myeloma". I moved the Journal Sentiel source up to cover it. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:53, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
