Under the section "==Early life==", the opening sentence reads "Jeter was born on June 26, 1974, in Pequannock Township, New Jersey, the son of accountant Dorothy (née Connors) and substance abuse counselor Sanderson Charles Jeter." Can you please add "Derek Sanderson" to open the sentence? It should read "Derek Sanderson Jeter was born on June 26, 1974, in Pequannock Township, New Jersey, the son of accountant Dorothy (née Connors) and substance abuse counselor Sanderson Charles Jeter." 2603:8000:8500:38F2:C5C1:BEEE:B0C9:A94 (talk) 20:25, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FA Review needed

[edit]

As I see, the "original research" tag was placed last month. One source is used to cite original research. Cleanup is done to address this, but the tag is still in place. Will add the article in WP:FARGIVEN soon. George Ho (talk) 23:06, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, FA nominator here. I was unaware of an original research tag being placed on the page until I saw your post on my watchlist. Give me a few days to address this. Left guide, is there anything outside of the use of B-Ref that is of concern? – Muboshgu (talk) 23:52, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Muboshgu: Thanks for flagging, Baseball-Reference was the main one I spotted some OR and all of those instances should be reviewed (stats databases have a tendency to be used for OR since they don't produce any secondary prose). Ultimately, it would probably help for all of the article's sources to be checked against the text since the article was promoted to FA 12 years ago, but that's not as urgent. Another big concern is that WP:NYPOST is cited about a dozen times. Left guide (talk) 00:23, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your response. B-Ref provides accurate statistics and some other information (awards and transactions mostly), but can be misused easily. I believe NY Post was cited before it was downgraded at RSP. I argue though that their sports coverage is pretty good. I would never cite them for US politics. I shall go over this page in the next few days. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:26, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
