Notes

Added Category:Royal Canadian Air Force personnel of World War II and skiing coaches.
Could you find anything on his high school career? Did he play football or anything?
What's the Dominion Championships? The article makes it sound like going to the Olympics is a downgrade.
"competed against American and Austrian professionals" Those are both linked but Canadisn isn't linked in the lead and Americans is earlier in the body but not linked?
"professionals and placed " A lot of ands here. Suggest changing to "professionals, placing"
The "Montreal team" is the Montreal Bulldogs.
"Baz O'Meara claimed he was ineligible to play due to" should we change it to "play as an amateur"?
"re-joined the Ottawa Rough Riders" remove ottawa
"before retiring from football" doesnt technically say he "retired"
Why is he in the QB cat? Is that the flying wing?
"He played the flying wing position" i dont see in ref four where it sayd that unless you are using PFA but thats not what is cited. Where did you get "back" from in the infobox"?
"but left before the season start" The season had already started

I think that's all. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 08:11, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA

Copying notes from the GA review:

Could you find anything on his high school career? Did he play football or anything?
- Added a little bit and a quote.
What's the Dominion Championships? The article makes it sound like going to the Olympics is a downgrade.
- Looks like it might have been the national championship? Should I try to add that in with a source? I did re-word it a bit.
  - It would probably be helpful to explain what it is if possible? Do you think it's worthy of a quick stub? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:21, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - @WikiOriginal-9: I added a note explaining it (I don't feel like writing an article on it right now...) – does that work? BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:37, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"competed against American and Austrian professionals" Those are both linked but Canadisn isn't linked in the lead and Americans is earlier in the body but not linked?
- I removed the links.
"professionals and placed " A lot of ands here. Suggest changing to "professionals, placing"
- Changed.
The "Montreal team" is the Montreal Bulldogs.
- Added.
"Baz O'Meara claimed he was ineligible to play due to" should we change it to "play as an amateur"?
- Changed.
"re-joined the Ottawa Rough Riders" remove ottawa
- Removed.
"before retiring from football" doesnt technically say he "retired"
- Re-worded.
Why is he in the QB cat? Is that the flying wing?
- To be honest, I have no idea, lol. I removed it.
  - lol ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:21, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"He played the flying wing position" i dont see in ref four where it sayd that unless you are using PFA but thats not what is cited. Where did you get "back" from in the infobox"?
- I cited PFA. Also changed 'back' to 'halfback', something that is mentioned in the article.
"but left before the season start" The season had already started
- Reworded.

Hi BeanieFan11, review follows: article promoted to GA on 17 October and (just!) nominated within 7 days; article is well written and sources look to be reliable; I didn't pick up on any concerns over paraphrasing (note that the Earwig score is thrown off by proper nouns and attributed quotes); hook fact is simple and effective and checks out to source cited; QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 21:56, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11, Dumelow, and Kimikel: I have pulled this from prep 6 as there are already NFL hooks in queue 5 and preps 7, 2, and 4. I will put this back in the next prep 6. I haven't reviewed it myself.--Laun chba ller 11:20, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just FWIW, this is Canadian football rather than relating to the NFL – but I'm fine with it being delayed either way. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:02, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I should have pinged user:Hey man im josh earlier.--Laun chba ller 23:38, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
