Sorry for the delay, been extremely busy lately. I really don't see much wrong with the article, images are free, no close paraphrasing concerns, sources match the information. So passing. Secret ^account 23:32, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Don't worry about the delay. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It’s not Ev-ers. It’s E-vers.

The Lexicon recording is wrong. The last name of Johnny Evers is pronounced E-vers. Not Ev-ers. Please fix this Jackiemom318 (talk) 20:52, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
