  • "(1965-1999)" En dash.
DONE -- signed by SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24 spell my name backwards on 06:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The franchise is owned by Drayton McLane, Jr., and Ed Wade is their general manager." No comma necessary.
Which comma? -- signed by SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24 spell my name backwards on 06:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The one after "Jr." Dabomb87 (talk) 14:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That can't be done because it will sound like this :"The franchise is owned by Drayton McLane, Jr. and Ed Wade is their general manager." It sounds like Ed Wade is also owning the franchise. -- signed by SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24 spell my name backwards at 06:05, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. The comma should be there. It doesn't sound correct without it. RyanCross @ 06:33, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add information about the Astros originally being the Colt .45s.
Told readers that they were first called the Houston Colt .45s. -- signed by SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24 spell my name backwards on 06:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
When did their name change? Dabomb87 (talk) 15:12, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've put that on the article now. Thanks for the comment. -- signed by SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24 spell my name backwards at 16:47, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • All the years in the lead need to be linked with [[YEAR Major League Baseball season]] the first time it is mentioned.
If you haven't noticed, there was a discussion on WT:MOS saying that years should not be wikilinked like this: [[#### Major League Baseball season|####]]
Then I guess List of Philadelphia Phillies managers needs some cleaning-up. RyanCross @ 23:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leo Durocher is the only Astros manager to have been elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame[5] – Period needed between Fame and [5].
FIXED -- signed by SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24 spell my name backwards on 23:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Larry Dierker is the only Astros manager to have had his jersey number retired by the Astros. – Most people would be questioning what his number was that was retired.
DONE -- signed by SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24 spell my name backwards on 23:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dierker is also the sixth manager in MLB history to win a division crown in his first season for the Astros in 1997. – Is it possible to link division crown with something?
Can't find anything that can be wikilinked to "division title" (reworded). -- signed by SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24 spell my name backwards on 23:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment When did that horrible whitespace appear? Please get rid of it. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You mean the white-space between the table and the images? If I don't upright it, the Achievements column will look messed up. -- signed by SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24 (spell my name backwards) at 03:57, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
