• No DAB links but a dead link [1]
  • No problem. I don't use that site, it was there from before when I started the article, and I'm removing it now. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 05:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• Template:Baseball year discourages linking years in text
  • {{ by}} seems only to be used in the infobox. The text uses straight links. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 05:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• Not sure we need to link American
  • Yeah, probably not needed. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 05:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• Bordagaray was the middle of seven children. Not sure there is a middle of seven?
  • The fourth child has three older and three younger. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 05:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• He publicly held out during the offseason, which became an annual tradition for Bordagaray. unsure of what "held out" means, sounds idiomatic
  • More detail added. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 05:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• Ref 5 needs an ndash
  • Fixed. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 05:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• Unsure of why 1932 and 1933 seasons are skipped.
  • An omission I've rectified. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 17:02, 28 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• First two paragraphs in Major League Baseball could be combined to avoid a stubby paragraph
  • Done. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 01:31, 29 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• Link bit role in the lead
  • Didn't know there was a page for that. It's linked. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 22:34, 25 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• With the Cardinals, Bordagaray served as a utility man, backing up Don Gutteridge at third base and outfielders Joe Medwick, Terry Moore, Don Padgett and Martin. reference needed.
  • Yeah, I couldn't verify it, so I removed it. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 01:31, 29 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• In 1938, Bordagaray was used mostly as a bench player, as Enos Slaughter joined the team and Gutteridge and Moore both improved. Ref?
  • Sentence rewritten and ref provided. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 17:41, 26 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• He struggled with the Reds in 1939, batting .197 with a .252 OBP and .254 SLG in 63 games reference doesn't say he "struggled"
  • Sentence reworded. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 17:15, 26 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• player-manager ndash
  • Fixed. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 17:50, 28 June 2012 (UTC) reply
• Death isn't mentioned? What about where he is intered?
  • Death and cemetary mentioned. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 17:50, 28 June 2012 (UTC) reply

I'll put the article on hold and re-look later. Albacore ( talk) 14:59, 24 June 2012 (UTC) reply

• All done. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 01:31, 29 June 2012 (UTC) reply

Further

• I'm still uncomfortable with you linking years in the main text. This violates WP:EGG, and these should be removed. Other than that I'm happy enough to pass. Albacore ( talk) 14:19, 29 June 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Done. All year links now appear as "xxxx season" or "xxxx team". –  Muboshgu ( talk) 15:36, 29 June 2012 (UTC) reply

Pass. Albacore ( talk) 15:48, 29 June 2012 (UTC) reply
