Lou Gehrig

I've worked on this article and would like to nominate it for FA. A variety of sources including books, websites, and contemporary magazine articles have been used to give an understanding of the man and his accomplishments. JGHowes 01:29, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Object The article is listy in places, and badly needs more citations. Books need ISBN numbers, and any quotes used in the article need citations. LuciferMorgan 10:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Object It's not that bad an article, but the lead is quite weak, there's not enough references, and it's a little overquoted.--Wizardman 16:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Object This could be a GA if you nominated it but not yet a FA. As above plus the stats section needs exspanding. Also does anyone think the HoF image is a bit ugly? Buc 07:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
