Talk:Héctor López

message: I worked a bit on the intro, but this needs a good deal of work.  It jumps around a little chronologically.  Also, all of the chatter about what position he played at what time seems trivial and distracting.  IMHO.--Epeefleche 03:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The positions may be a bit too much, but it's still important.  He was a near full-time infielder who converted to an outfielder to play with Mantle and Maris, and that seems really interesting and quite an unusual trivia fact, and something that should be mentioned.  Maybe the text can be modified to not sound as trivial, but I think that bit should stay, nonetheless.  Ksy92003(talk) 03:09, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll make a chart.  That'll be clearer than prose.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM)  15:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried to clean up the language a bit, and to re-order some of the material that did not follow chrono order, but think it still needs work.--Epeefleche 16:39, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Now it looks choppy.  We have to put Humpty Dumpty back together again to get a GA and for the good of the project.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM)  17:06, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good luck.  I think it has a way to go to get a B rating, to be honest ... needs much editing work.  Cheers.--Epeefleche 18:22, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Detailed comments:
* The lead makes two references to his being "productive" but doesn't really define the term.  What does being productive mean in baseball?  If it can't be readily defined, I would use a more descriptive term.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD)  22:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA failed 

message: I have now reviewed this article under the six Good article criteria, and have
commented in detail on each criterion below:
1 Well written FAIL
1.1 Prose
Although the prose is generally good, flows well and is pleasant to read, there are a couple of issues:
*López's name is spelt inconsistently throughout the article (sometimes with accents, sometimes without).--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD)  21:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Info 

message: A number of citations in this article unnecessarily include the publisher for periodicals and websites that have their own Wikipedia article. This information has no value to anyone wanting to check or track down references. For example, publisher=Washington Post Company for references to The Washington Post, or publisher=MLB Advanced Media for references to Baseball-Reference.com, only make the article longer - significantly longer when repeated many times - without adding anything useful. Therefore I plan to  upgrade the article's citations to remove all such redundant publisher info, bringing them into line with the recommended use of the cite template (see Template:Citation#Publisher).  Please raise any questions here or on my talk page. Colonies Chris (talk) 21:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Is almost entirely wrong. 
1- Lopez didn't retire from pro ball in 1966. That was just the year he last played in the majors. Note- The article makes mention of his playing minor league ball in 67.
2- Even though it is referenced twice, Lopez can't have been playing in Yankee old timer's games starting in 1967. That's a claim from Lopez but in 1967 he was playing 130 plus games for the Hawaii Islanders. He was playing minor league ball in 68 too.
The part about when he retired should be removed. I'd just say he played in Old Timers games for approximately 50 years....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:10, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
