Infobox
[edit]- Don't think the year of Moore's graduation from George Mason is needed in the infobox
- Removed
Lead
[edit]- "Dayton Moore (born February 17, 1967) is the general manager of the Kansas City Royals." - there's some information that I feel is missing from this portion of text such as Moore's nationality and that he is a baseball executive
- Added
- "Moore's began his baseball career" - {{xt|Moore's baseball career began}
- Done
- "Moore originally served in scouting department" - can be worded to say in the, in its or in the team's
- Done
Early life
[edit]- "Moore was born on February 17, 1969" - Baseball Reference and the infobox state Moore was born in 1967 not 1969
- Fixed, likely typo
- "Moore claims to have watched the 1985 World Series in Kansas City from I-70." - Interstate 70 for non-American and baseball readers
- Done
- Wikilink undergraduate degree and master's degree
- Done
- "Moore received a master's degree in Athletic Administration from George Mason in 1992, and served as an assistant baseball coach at George Mason" - the close repetition of the university's name should be avoided
- Fixed
Career
[edit]- "before his promotion in 2002 to director of player personnel development." - this can be written as either before his 2002 promotion to director of personnel development or before his promotion to director of player personnel in 2002
- Used the first option
- "The Kansas City Royals offered Moore a job as the team's general manager, and Moore took the job" - offered Moore employment
- Done
- "saying "I think the player has earned the opportunity to play professional baseball." [16]" - the space after the quote and the reference is not needed
- Removed
- "also help set the stage for the Royals' two World Series teams" - I believe there is a more formal way of wording the text in bold but cannot conjure it up
- Changed to "provided important pieces for the Royals' two World Series teams", is that better?
- I accept the revision. MWright96 (talk) 19:57, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- Changed to "provided important pieces for the Royals' two World Series teams", is that better?
- "After the Royals' World Series win, Moore signed another contract extension to remain with the Royals longer." - the team for longer.
- Done
Personal life
[edit]- The word Christian doesn't need to be linked per MOS:OVERLINK
- Removed links
- "Moore is also the author of the book "More Than a Season", which describes Moore's efforts " - repetition of the word Moore('s)
- Used his in the second instance
References
[edit]- All of the references that mention the dates on which they were publishes are better off mentioned in the article
- Added date= parameters to all of the references that provided a date published
- "Front Office Biographies - Dayton Moore" - the hyphen should be replaced by an en dash per MOS:DASH
- Fixed
- Reference 10 should mention that the Associated Press was the agency that provided ESPN with that story
- I used the author= parameter to insert the Associated Press on both 10 and 15. Did this bring about the desired result?
- Yes, that is fine MWright96 (talk) 19:57, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- I used the author= parameter to insert the Associated Press on both 10 and 15. Did this bring about the desired result?
- Same issue as above for Reference 15
- See above
