---

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

•  Done In the lead, "In In four career games", I believe you just need one "In".
  • Check.
•  Done I have a question, in the Early years section, is the "Of" off "Gatorade Player Of The Year" supposed to be like that?
  • Check.
•  Done In the Baseball career section, "He was called up to the Double-A Arkansas Travelers where he spent the 2007 season", does that sentence mean Adenhart played with them?
  • Check.
•  Done Same section, "In in the month of April", one "In"?
  • Check.
•  Done Same section, "The reaction to his second start was more positive, with coach Mike Scioscia", coach?
  • Check.

1. B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

•  Done In the Baseball career section, "Adenhart was declared the best prospect in the Angels organization going into 2009, and was ranked 68th overall on Baseball America's 2009 prospects", isn't "Baseball America" supposed to be italicized?
  • Check.
•  Done Since "Baseball America" is a magazine, you might as well have it in the "work" parameter.
  • Check.
•  Done Also, "Orange County Register" and "Los Angeles Times", newspapers, should also be in the "work" format.
  • Check.

1. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

2. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

3. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

4. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

5. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

   Are there no free-use images of Adenhart?

6. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the concerns above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!
