It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I feel like we should change "national receiving leader" in the lead and body to "national receptions leader" to be clearer. Receiving leader could also mean yards.
"in American Legion leagues" is that the same thing as American Legion Baseball. If so, wikilink it.
Add "first-team All-Skyline Conference in all three seasons at Denver" to infobox.
"As a senior in 1951, he broke Art Weiner's record for career receptions" Is that a school record or national record? Make it clearer please.
The body says he coached wrestling at Rifle but infoxbox doesn't say that. Maybe change to "Football, baseball, wrestling, and track coach"?

I think that's all. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:11, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
