Rollie Hemsley[edit]

After making this article DYK quality a couple months back, I want to know what needs to be done to make this either a GA or at least a B-class article. All comments welcome. Wizardman 15:31, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The first thing I notice is the lack of information about his life outside of MLB. What was his childhood like? Who were his parents? How did he get into the major leagues? Did he ever marry or have children?
The last two sections (alcoholism, post-playing) are also quite short, could they be expanded a bit or worked into an overarching biography section perhaps? A few more sentences in the intro wouldn't hurt either, especially if/when this additional information is added. -Bbik 18:17, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you're right on the lack of information on him outside MLB. That's because I can't seem to find any info on it. My college does have a copy of the book "Alcoholics Anonymous comes of age," which I believe has come of the information you're looking for in mainly the alcoholism section. Post-playing I might should be able to expand as well, since BR Bullpen has a decent amount of info there (too bad it's not a reliable source). Thanks though, I'll improve where I can and let you know when it's done. Wizardman 19:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added a bit, I got a wee bit more information I could add, but a search for waht you asked for came up empty, sorry. Wizardman 00:03, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh well, only so much you can do, in that case. Unfortunately, I've been bouncing between insanely busy and exhausted lately, but if I find a few free minutes, I'll see if I can come up with a few more suggestions for you. No guarantees that'll be any time soon, though! -Bbik 21:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
