This page was a featured article, but it was delisted over two years ago. Since Babe Ruth is the most recognizable historical figure in baseball, it is a shame for the Baseball project on Wikipedia that this page languishes. Whatever suggestions are presented will be followed.

Note: You appear to have made only one edit to this article. The article may need significant work to achieve a return to its former status. It is reasonable to expect you and/or others interested in the article to carry out a substantial part of this rehabilitation before bringing it to peer review. I recommend you withdraw and resubmit later. Brianboulton (talk) 23:45, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware that the request for a peer review needed to come from someone who already has contributed majorly. I was hoping to get a general baseline assessment before really going to town on this article. If you're sure that I should make more edits to it before asking for a peer review, I will withdraw. --Muboshgu (talk) 00:48, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a formal rule, but note that WP:Peer Review specifies that the process is "intended for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work." Although I and other reviewers frequently stretch that definition, we do think it fair that nominators should have done some of that work themselves, rather than using PR as a first stage in article redevelopment.

Ok, consider this one withdrawn. I'll nominate it in due time. --Muboshgu (talk) 01:12, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
