I'm going to give this a review. I do want to say though, as a caveat, it's been years since I've done a review, and that combined with the significance of the subject means this review will probably take a few weeks. I don't see any major red flags on a surface look, and the concerns of GA2 appear to be addressed, so that's a good starting point.

- Image review: The images are all relevant to the article and are appropriately licensed. The only issue I came across is that the Keith Allison ones lead to 404 pages on Flickr (spotchecked two and Internet Archive has no record). However I've used his pictures in articles plenty before so I know they were appropriately licensed at the time, and they can't be moved from a CC-BY to a full copyright since that's not how that works, so I'll let that minor issue slide.

Source review: A spotcheck will come later but here's some issues to clean up to start:
- Not sure what Ref #1 is ("Miguel Cabrera, wonderful story – Líder en deportes") - While Lider itself appears to be reliable, the link goes to a blocked translation service, so either way that needs to be repaired (if the original link isn't in english that's fine, just use that).
- Ref #5 ("ESPN The Magazine – ESPN") just has that as the title rather than whatever the article actually is. Since the link just redirects to the ESPN home page that will need fixing.
- Ref #28 (Tigers lock up Cabrera for eight years...) needs a publisher and author
- Ref #31 ("Miguel Cabrera gets A.L. Player of the Month honors") needs replacing. While B/R has improved in recent years, in 2008 it was still in "anyone can write for them" mode, making the link unreliable, and it gives a 404 error anyway.
- Refs #84 and #114 - same issue
- Ref #36 (2009 WBC rosters) needs a publisher
- Ref #42 (first 3 HR game) should just be removed. Facebook isn't a reliable source, but luckily ref 43 covers that sentence.
- Ref #46 (out rest of year) - SB Nation has the same issue as B/R. Has its moments, but especially early on when anyone could write for them reliability was an issue. Replace.
- Refs #60, #68, and #229 - same issue
- I'm not sold on Ref #49 (motor city bengals) on reliability either, and since there's 3 refs for that sentence already I would just remove.
- Refs #58, #79, #92, and others - Bless You Boys is just SB Nation under a slightly different name so the above issue remains. In the case of both SB and BR I would base it on author reliability rather than the site itself. If you can find something confirming the reliability of the authors then that would suffice as opposed to replacing.
- Ref #59 (Sports Illustrated/CNN) is a deadlink, since sadly SI is infamous for constantly moving their links and leaving no redirect targets. If possible find the new link, since there's not quite enough listed in that ref to just remove the URL (would like an author added as well).
- Ref #65 ("All-Star rosters at") I think part of the title is missing. I would have just added it but the link redirects to the home page. It's at this
- Ref #85 (Miguel Cabrera hits FROZEN 350th Home Run as a Tiger) just goes to a Youtube video. Certainly there's a stronger source available than that.
- Ref #130 ("Miguel Cabrera hits 500th career double") - this just goes to an unreliable blogspot link, replace.
- Ref #215 ( "Miguel Cabrera Awards by Baseball Almanac".) is a duplicate of Ref #17 - combine
There's a fairly significant amount of linkrot in this article. See [ https://link-dispenser.toolforge.org/analyze/Miguel_Cabrera this link, and fix what you can under the links that could be down, as most of them are just redirecting to the home page. Also a lot of the refs for the same websites have different formatting (i see MLB.com, MLB, Major League Baseball, etc.) but that's a much smaller issue than the ones above, so I wouldn't worry about it for now. I'm stopping here for now until the reference issues are at least partially addressed. Wizardman 21:31, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
