I worked a bit on the intro, but this needs a good deal of work. It jumps around a little chronologically. Also, all of the chatter about what position he played at what time seems trivial and distracting. IMHO.-- Epeefleche 03:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Great article so far! The prose is very good. I think it is well on its way to GA standard, but but needs some more work. Below is the standard GA assessment template followed by detailed comments. GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

I have now reviewed this article under the six Good article criteria, and have commented in detail on each criterion below:
1 Well written FAIL
1.1 Prose
Although the prose is generally good, flows well and is pleasant to read, there are a couple of issues:
1.2 Manual of Style
Again, this is mostly good. Just one minor point here:
2 Factual accuracy FAIL
Good use is made of sources for the most part. However...
3 Coverage PASS
Taking into account the comments above, I think the coverage is adequate (after all, it's a sport bio!). The article is focused.
4 Neutrality PASS
The article's tone is suitably NPOV throughout.
5 Stability PASS
The article contains no evidence of current major alterations or recent edit-warring.
6 Images N/A
Images are not required at GA, although a suitable picture would be nice for the future development of the article.
As a result of the above concerns I have placed the article on hold. This gives editors up to a week to address the issues raised (although in some circumstances the hold period can be briefly extended). To help with tracking, editors may like to strike through each comment as it is dealt with, or use the template {{done}} after each comment.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or are ready for a re-review. In any case I'll check back here in seven days (around 8th Feb). All the best, EyeSerene TALK 18:22, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the work you have put in to bring this article up to GA standards. I am happy to pass it, and have updated the various templates to reflect this review. Congratulations! EyeSerene TALK 10:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
When I get a chance I will read pages 201-207 of this. If someone else is interested and has time before me go right ahead.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 06:30, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
A number of citations in this article unnecessarily include the publisher for periodicals and websites that have their own Wikipedia article. This information has no value to anyone wanting to check or track down references. For example, publisher=Washington Post Company for references to The Washington Post, or publisher=MLB Advanced Media for references to Baseball-Reference.com, only make the article longer - significantly longer when repeated many times - without adding anything useful. Therefore I plan to upgrade the article's citations to remove all such redundant publisher info, bringing them into line with the recommended use of the cite template (see Template:Citation#Publisher). Please raise any questions here or on my talk page. Colonies Chris ( talk) 21:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Is almost entirely wrong.
1- Lopez didn't retire from pro ball in 1966. That was just the year he last played in the majors. Note- The article makes mention of his playing minor league ball in 67.
2- Even though it is referenced twice, Lopez can't have been playing in Yankee old timer's games starting in 1967. That's a claim from Lopez but in 1967 he was playing 130 plus games for the Hawaii Islanders. He was playing minor league ball in 68 too.
The part about when he retired should be removed. I'd just say he played in Old Timers games for approximately 50 years. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:10, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
