Wikipedia:Peer review/Cleveland Indians/archive1

I know the lead may need work, but what else is there? Lorty 21:42, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:MOS#Headings, headings generally do not start with the word "The". For example, ==The Biography== would be changed to ==Biography==.

Generally, trivia sections are looked down upon; please either remove the trivia section or incorporate any important facts into the rest of the article.

Images with fair use tags need fair use rationales - please see WP:FUC. Specifically, Image:OldClevelandIndiansLogo.jpg need(s) proper fair use rationales.

Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.

Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, years, decades, and centuries without full dates generally should not be linked. For example, January 2006 should not be linked, instead change it to January 2006. Also, please note WP:BTW and WP:CONTEXT, which state that years with full dates should be linked. For example, February 28, 2006, should be come February 28, 2006.
Dates should use either 0 or 2 commas, depending upon the subject of the article; American-related articles should use 2 commas, while British-related articles generally used 0 commas. For example, for two commas: In January 15, 2006, this and that happened, while for zero commas, use: In January 15 2006 this and that happened.

This article is a bit list-weighty; in other words, some of the lists should be converted to prose (paragraph form).

Please do not extraneously bold items outside of the bolding in the lead.

Per WP:MOS, the first letters of words in heading should not be capitalized unless: 1) it is a proper noun or 2) it is the first word of the heading.
This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.

This article can use copyediting to ensure that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. For example,
- Starting randomly at 1994-2001: A new beginning, of the 1940s and 1950s; The 1989 motion picture the "The" should not be capitalized
- era at Cleveland Municipal Stadium, 76-86, which first comma unnecessary, and era is inappropriate as it was a period of one year
- teams newly found success - missing apostrophe in team's
- and perhaps other copyediting fixes for grammar/spelling are needed.

This article might not be neutral and may be controversial in factual accuracy. Please make sure it is WP:NPOV, not WP:POV, by fixing potentially non-neutral sections and providing references to verify assertations. While it isn't extremely bad in terms of POV, there are some worrying statements like "found the light at the end of the tunnel" "hardly dampened the teams newly found success. Without losing a step", which seem a bit pro-Cleveland Indians.
