    a (prose): b (MoS):
    Some prose tweaks and perhaps a bit of expansion

    Like to see a citation for one sentence
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):

    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

    Pass/Fail:

Details:

The main problem with the article is it's short. Very short. I've tried above to give some suggestions on some padding. Is there nothing available on what he's doing now?

  • I tried to pad it with a paragraph about his high school. I have not been able to find out which years he might have won championships although they have won 22 state championships in the last 34 years.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 16:51, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Gotta love people who don't do anything outrageous. Okies. Ealdgyth | Talk 17:38, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You know the drill, I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

Heh, at least this time no "Short choppy paragraphs"!Ealdgyth | Talk 15:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good! It's a pass. Taking care of dotting the i's and crossing the t's now. Ealdgyth | Talk 17:38, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
