Layout of article

Probably should have posted this before I started editing, but this article should be restructured to read more as prose than as lists. WP:Prose says, "Articles are intended to consist primarily of prose, though they may contain lists. Prose is preferred in articles as prose allows the presentation of detail and clarification of context, in a way that a simple list may not. Prose flows, like one person speaking to another. It is best suited to articles, because their purpose is to explain."

I also think the other Tigers season articles should be modified this way also. — X96lee15 (talk) 22:23, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, they should be in a timeline format, with bullets. But if you want to modify all 120 Tigers season articles, plus those of the other 29 MLB teams' season articles, go ahead, I won't stop you. TomCat4680 (talk) 22:30, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Prose is always better than bullets. Not all of the team pages use your format, Tom. Spanneraol (talk) 16:49, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He didn't write prose though. All he did was remove the bullets. Prose is supposed to be complete paragraphs, which include topic sentences, transition words, etc. TomCat4680 (talk) 17:08, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
