... that after he retired from professional baseball, Paul Hinrichs became a Lutheran minister? Source: [1]
- Reviewed: First qpq of two from Template:Did you know nominations/Order of Excellence for Women

5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk) and Sunshineisles2 (talk). Nominated by Muboshgu (talk) at 21:12, 13 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Paul Hinrichs; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Hi Muboshgu (talk) article more than 5x expanded from 11 April, I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the principal online source; hook fact is interesting enough to me, cited and checks out. My only query is that much of the information in the infobox is only stated there and is not cited, is there a source that needs to be added? - Dumelow (talk) 10:42, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi, sorry I forgot to respond. What isn't cited in the infobox? His handedness, but is there anything else? That can be verified at the external links in the article, like Baseball Reference, and since it isn't controversial, it's usually how we verify it. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:04, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muboshgu, it was the debut date, career stats etc. Sorry, I missed that statement on the stats under "External links" (if it's used for sourcing, perhaps it should be under "References"?). I have seen sportsperson articles with the links at the bottom of the infobox, which I think makes it a bit clearer - Dumelow (talk) 08:07, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
