To-do list for Kirby Puckett:

edit · history · watch · refresh

Add Footnotes in the cite.php format move "quotes" section to wikiquote fix links on dates to comply with WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, Move inline external links to Footnotes Images need fair use rationale The line: "The World Series that followed is considered by many to be the most exciting ever." has weasel words that need to be either cited or removed The trivia section should be eliminated entirely or incorperated Reformattion the sections may be necessary, use your judgement and be bold The reference to there being no conclusive evidence to the claim that Puckett's glaucoma was caused by the beaning at the end of 1995 is grossly understated. Not only is there no conclusive evidence, the claim is completely baseless. First, glaucoma has never even been hypothesized to be caused by trauma. Second, even if it were, this would make no sense in the case of Puckett because the beaning he took was to the left side of his face, but it was his right eye which was affected by the glaucoma. The cutline for the photo of the March 12 Metrodome ceremony needs to be changed. It currently reads: "Former manager Tom Kelly surrounded by former teammates Dan Gladden, Jean "Mudcat" Grant, Harmon Killebrew and Kent Hrbek and friends at the Memorial Service at the Metrodome on March 12, 2006]]". Mudcat Grant's first name is Jim, not Jean. Also, he and Harmon Killebrew were not teammates of Puckett. The sentence should be restructured, possibly like this: "Former manager Tom Kelly, surrounded by former Twins Dan Gladden, Jim "Mudcat" Grant, Harmon Killebrew, Kent Hrbek and friends at the Memorial Service at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome on March 12, 2006.

[edit] Move to Arizona

currently states that kirby moved to arizona due to mounting controversy in Minnesota. Seems POV to me, and not really provable

No, this is probable. He was involved in sesual aligations, in which, although he was cleared of charges, his reputation was somewhat blurred. I dont really think is POV, anyways.--Gephart 07:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Probable is a far cry from certain, and the article stated as fact that controversy in MN is the reason Puckett moved. Maybe its not POV, but none of us can know for certain why He moved unless a qoute or something can be found where he states the reason behind the move. Really not a big deal, but I changed it slightly.

WIkipedia is not a crystal ball --E tac 22:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

It says under 'Retirement' that he moved from Minnesota to Scottsdale in the winter of 2003, and under 'Controversy' that 'in 2004, Puckett moved from the Twin Cities to Scottsdale, Arizona.' I'm assuming he moved in early 2004, but perhaps it should be worded slightly differently. 71.56.48.23 00:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Infobox

all right I changed it to Template:Mlbretired--Yankees10 18:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Yankees10
