@Bison X:I created this page for Porter Moss. When time allow I would appericate your feedback. Current issues the page has is the East West Games. I have conflicting sources as to whether he was actually elected to the games in which he didn't played. There is also the time he spent with the KCM and the CAG. I believe he went there to bolster the teams during the playoffs. Thanks.Onagtruk (talk) 00:20, 29 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the E-W games, I could only find one other source than what you have used in the article, Lester's 2001 book on the E-W games [1], but it wasn't clear either. You should probably just state the uncertainty in sources but I would only list the 3 games he played in in the infobox as most sources only list those 3 games.

Regarding the 1937 teams, I looked into a bit and it appears it was solely a post-season thing after the Tigers folded. He is listed in the playoff linescores for Chicago in Holway's 2001 Complete Book, but I don't know about KC for certain, other than what is on seamheads.com.

A few other points, b-r/bullpen is not permitted as a source as it, too, is an open wiki that anyone can edit. Instead, use the source that was used in their article, and then only quote that source. Also, your writing tone is good for SABR or another baseball journal, but needs to be more dispassionate and tighter for an encyclopedia (see WP:TONE). I hope this helps and keep up the good work!
