thread_title: Fate without a new stadium?

message: I'll be doing my review in several parts, so look for new things every day or couple of days. This is part 1. In my first glance over the article, I noticed quite a few things that need to be fixed:
*Per WP:LEAD, for an article this size, the lead should be about 4 paragraphs. Also, it should summarize all the main points of the article.
: - It has been expanded to four paragraphs with two new paragraphs: 1)organization overview, 2)important events and honors -NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

text: - Short paragraphs have been expanded or merged. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

text: According to MOS:Autoformatting and linking stand alone days and months should be link for purposes of autoformatting. I used to think they shouldn't be linked until an editor pointed out that they were supposed to be. That prompted me to ask around and other well established editors confirmed that stand alone months and days were indeed supposed to be linked. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

text: - I've added citations for all percentages and win-loss records appearing within prose. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Great job so far. I wasn't expecting you to do it all in one day. I'll probably be able to go over the work tomorrow at some point and make additional comments/suggestions. Nikki311 02:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Review part 1 

message: There are some really good sources already in the article, but there are some sentences with stats, possible controversial statements, and other random stuff that needs to be cited. I've compiled a list of sentences I think would benefit from a citation. The bolded part of the sentence is the part that needs to be cited. Also, remember that citations go after punctuation...not in the middle of a sentence. Here you go:
*The Reds era
**He brought in country music stars, such as Larry Gatlin, Jerry Reed, and Conway Twitty, as Sounds shareholders.
**Fans responded well to the return of baseball to the city, evidenced by Nashville leading the Southern League in attendance in each of their seven seasons as a member of the league.
**Two years later, it would set the all-time league attendance record (575,676).
**When the ABA merged with the NBA in 1976, some of the copyrights were allowed to lapse, and Nashville's baseball team adopted the abandoned schemes.
**The Sounds played their first home game, a 12-4 victory, on April 26, 1978 against the Savannah Braves in front of a sellout crowd of 8,156 fans.
**As the Double-A affiliate of the Reds, the Sounds finished ninth during their inaugural campaign of 1978, but led the league in attendance by drawing 380,000 fans (more than double the second-place attendance).
**The home opener was scheduled to take place the previous evening, but was rained out.

text:  - I cited the first item. Unfortunatly, I couldn't find anything conclusive to backup the second. As a result, I decided to rewrite parts of the section. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:33, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

text: All your work looks really good! I'll copy-edit later this evening, and as long as nothing else jumps out at me that I can't fix myself, I should be able to pass the article. Nikki311 13:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I finished with the copyediting, as well. I didn't change much, just a few typos, some comma problems, and a few other little known grammar problems. I also combined some of the shorter paragraphs (especially in the history sections) when they were dealing with the same year. All in all, it was very well written. I'm going to pass the article. Thanks for all your hard work and speedy replies. It was a pleasure to work with you. Congratulations on your successful Good Article. Nikki311 18:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Review part 3

message: Minor-league teams do not move from one class to another except in an overall restructuring. Period. (How often does this happen? Twice. Ever.) The Nashville Sounds did not move from AA to AAA in 1985. Sounds owner Larry Schmittou bought a AAA team, the Evansville Triplets, and moved them to Nashville while simultaneously moving his AA Sounds team to Huntsville, Ala.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.134.91 (talk • contribs) 15:04, February 16, 2014 (UTC)
:True. The "move" is covered more accuratly in the Tigers' era section of the history. NatureBoyMD (talk) 22:49, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
