   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "Spencer Paul Heath, Jr." - problem relating to MOS:JR here
• Heath's nationality will need to be mentioned in the first paragraph of the lead
• "Listed at 6'0", 170 lb.," - the convert template will be better off used on these figures
• Think the lead can be expanded with further details of Heath's playing career

Early life

• "Spencer Paul Heath, Jr.," - MOS:JR problem here
• "Spencer Heath, Sr.," - same as above
• "Well-known around Chicago for his skills in semipro baseball," - semi-professional

Winnipeg Maroons (1919)

• Winning percentage would be better off wikilinked to the appropriate article for non-baseball readers

Chicago White Sox (1920)

• "Baseball historian Frank Russo points out that this was difficult," - the text in bold is informal; a word such as noted is more appropriate in this instance
• The term inning can be wikilinked to its article only on the first mention

Later years

• "Heath returned to playing semipro ball after his time with the White Sox." - semi-professional baseball
  • Semipro ball is a common term in the baseball world; I never see it spelled out. I linked it to an appropriate article in case people wonder what it means. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 01:37, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
