• Do we have a source for his nickname of Blockie?
  • I've removed it on multiple occasions, but Jimmymci234 keeps adding it back in.
    • A search does show some instances of that nickname being used.[1][2] I'm not sure whether those are considered reliable sources by the golf project?
      • Added.
• which was one of the highest finishes for a club pro in decades Based on the source, it was literally the highest finish for decades in this event (not just one of the best). This could be expanded on a bit in the main article, where it currently isn't mentioned.
  • Edited the lead and expanded in body.
• Block was the assistant club professional The term "club professional" could do with an explanatory note.
  • Done.
• during the second round Anything on the first round? We have notes from the second, third and fourth. Even just a brief "After shooting par on the first day..." so where know where he's at entering day two.
  • Done.
• Block nevertheless secured a return to a PGA Tour event, The American Express Was he returning to The American Express specifically, or more generally to the PGA Tour?
  • I am unsure. This was changed by Tewapack after I added it a few days ago.
    • Based on the source, it looks like he was returning to the tour. Possible rephrasing: "Block nevertheless secured a place in another PGA Tour event when he qualified for The American Express." Something like that, to clarify.
      • Done.
• Maybe mention that he had previously missed the cut at the PGA Championship four times out of four.
  • Done.
• Perhaps put a quote from Block on his PGA Championship performance in general (or the hole in one specifically) as it's his career highlight?
  • I don't think that would be encyclopedic, but I can if you really want.
    • No need—I don't know of any firm rules on the usage of quotes.
• There's a few issues with the citations. Sometimes these don't work for me due to me living in the UK; if they look fine to you then no problem.
  • I also live in the UK, and am getting the same results for citations 2, 4, and 6; as the non-archived versions work, I have added parameters to the citations.
• Citation 2: The archived version isn't loading for me (the current version is fine).
• Citation 4: Same as citation 2.
• Citation 6: Same as citation 2.
• Citation 8: I can't see anything about Block in the current version or the archived one.
  • I can't find it either (I suspect the school posted something that has now been removed) so I have removed the citation.
• Citation 13: This looks to be out of date, now leading to a menu page.
  • I have added an archive link, which should work. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:30, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
