• I will do this review.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:00, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

This article is not formatted in accordance with WP:MOS. Notably, the WP:LEAD is way too short for this article and the playing career should have some subsections.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:31, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

WP:LEAD

• This LEAD needs to be expanded to about 3 paragraphs and about 1500-2500 characters of readable prose. The current 1 paragraph, 499 character version is too short.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:31, 21 June 2012 (UTC) Done
• Please summarize each section of the article (note that I suggest adding subsections to the playing career).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:31, 21 June 2012 (UTC) Done

• "When O'Farrell was injured during the 1924 season" - Do you have a date and opponent?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:18, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

• "setting a single-season home run record for catchers" that would stand until YYYY when Foo broke the record. (if Foo played in the AL, note how long the NL record stood).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:18, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Done Hartnett broke his own single-season home run record in 1930, then Roy Campanella set a new record in 1953.Orsoni (talk) 12:16, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
    • "setting a single-season home run record for catchers", surpassing Foo's YYYY record of X home runs.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:26, 27 June 2012 (UTC) Done
    • "23 years, when Roy Campanella hit 40 home runs in 1953" -> 23 years until Roy Campanella hit 40 home runs in 1953--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:26, 27 June 2012 (UTC) Done
• 1927 and 28 seem to be season where he got a lot of MVP votes. Can you say anything about these seasons?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:18, 22 June 2012 (UTC) Done

Homer in the Gloamin'

• "August 28, 1939, he broke Ray Schalk's Major League record of 1,727 career games as a catcher". Say who broke the record and when.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:18, 22 June 2012 (UTC) Done
• Unexplained MVP votes in 1936. Try to say something about this season.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:18, 22 June 2012 (UTC) Done
  • I can't find any mention of why he received MVP votes in 1936. He followed a great, MVP-winning 1935 season, with a merely good season in 1936 with a .307 batting average, so some of the votes may have been from the residual effect his 1935 season had on the memories of sportswriters.Orsoni (talk) 12:16, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

• We are still looking for content for 1927, 28 and 36. Maybe we can find some content for our empty season by saying who's records he broke in these four instances and when.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:50, 27 June 2012 (UTC) Done

• I am putting this article on hold. Please respond to each concern on the subsequent line. I will monitor this review and reevaluated it in seven days.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:20, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

• NB: As WP:CHICAGO director, I accidentally accepted this review. Since we are so far into the review, I will continue the review.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:16, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

• I believe this article meets WP:WIAGA and am passing it now. If this article ever goes to FAC, I would like to see who Hartnett surpassed in establishing catcher records of 236 home runs, 1,179 runs batted in, 1,912 hits, and 396 doubles.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:29, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Thank you for your review. I will edit to add who he passed for the career home run lead. The other career stats may take some deeper research.Orsoni (talk) 01:32, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
