Starting review

[edit]

I'll do this one. Will start soon. Jack | talk page 12:04, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@BlackJack: I think it'd be best to start with this one, if you will. Of the three it's the one I feel most satisfied with. Lizard (talk) 04:44, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Lizard the Wizard: Okay, I'll do McElhenny next, before Johnson. I've done Perry subject to one citation. Sorry, I've been short of time in the last week or so but I will get to them all. Thanks again. Jack | talk page 09:34, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Full review criteria checks

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for the six good article criteria:

    A. Prose is clear and concise, without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and embedded lists: see below
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable with no original research?
    A. Has an appropriate reference section:
    B. Inline citations to reliable sources where necessary (e.g., direct quotations):
    C. No original research:
    D. No copyright violations:

    B. Length:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:

    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

The main part of the article is fine but I believe some work needs to be done on the introduction. With reference to WP:LEAD, it should really be "three to four paragraphs" (given that the article is 30k-plus) and I think it isn't quite a fully concise summary of the narrative. I'll leave it with you as you know the subject and I don't. Please let me know when you've had chance to consider. Placing "on hold" for now. Good work overall, though, and a very interesting article. He must have been quite a player. All the best. Jack | talk page 12:52, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@BlackJack: I think it should suffice now. Lizard (talk) 20:06, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Lizard the Wizard: Sorry, I read the article again first thing this morning but had to go out and then forgot all about it! It's very good now and I am completely satisfied. Excellent work which deservedly rates GA. Well done. I'll look at John Henry Johnson in a few days, if that's okay. Jack | talk page 13:24, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1952 NFL Rookie of the Year

[edit]

He currently isn't displayed on National Football League Rookie of the Year Award. Facts don't seem to be in dispute, but I couldn't tie this to a selector (UPI, Sporting News, etc). Potential supporting cites:

Some have referred to it as a unanimous selection, but that article doesn't have 1952 support at the moment. UW Dawgs (talk) 18:43, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just asked Cbl62 if he could find anything. I was always under the impression that the UPI and Sporting News were the first to give ROTY awards, in 1955. Lizard (talk) 18:49, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also, trading cards are usually terrible sources. For example, McElhenny and Perry never played together at Compton University. That's a misconception that was also in Perry's article. Lizard (talk) 18:58, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, included as directional support for the general research issue. UW Dawgs (talk) 19:03, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
