• ALT1 ... that Leo Righetti cost himself an opportunity to play in Major League Baseball when he launched a chair at a team official?

• Comment: The Reading Eagle source says he threw the chair at Holmes, but Sports Illustrated says he kicked it at Quinn. I trust the Reading more because SI says he played for Beaumont, which he did not.[1]

• New and long enough and within policy. Since there are only two sources on the chair incident and to avoid subjectively picking the "right" source, it would be better to generically say something like he "directed" or "launched" a chair at a team official with a footnote describing the discrepancy between kicking vs throwing and who it was directed at.—Bagumba (talk) 18:08, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

• I'm okay with any changes in the wording along those lines. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:27, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

• It's been over two weeks: is anything happening with this nomination? Harrias ^talk 14:08, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

• It should be ready to go. I'll ping Bagumba. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:23, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

• I did not see any changes in relation to my comment. Were you expecting me to make the changes?—Bagumba (talk) 16:58, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

• No, I thought you meant they should be made to the hook. My bad. I'll make it in the article. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:04, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Otherwise this checks out. GTG with a neutralized ALT1. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:49, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
