• Did you need me to do one of the QPQs? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:48, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
  • If you want to; it'd be helpful. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:17, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
    • Okay, I'll do one today or tomorrow. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:32, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
  • @WikiOriginal-9: Yes, I suppose it's fair to do so since you did most of the expansion. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:52, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing: - Two issues with the wide receiver page. First, I don't think Buckeye Rosters, which sources ~40% of the wide receiver article, is reliable; all I could find on them is that they are run by "an [unidentified] Ohio State football fan who wants to better document the history of the program". Second, Ref 4 says he "eventually earned a scholarship his senior year as a receiver" but page says "did not have a scholarship until his junior year" The newspaper refs of both pages may have valuable non-stat info, so I recommend adding them. Otherwise, no issues.
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The hook's repetitiveness is catchy. Each expanded from 480 to 3190 seven days before nom and from 262 to 1615 within the past seven days before nom. Not really any issues but sourcing. @BeanieFan11 and WikiOriginal-9: fix these and you're good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 03:03, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Changed the buckeye ref to the Official 1991 and 1992 media guides. Revised referencing for the scholarship claim. Expanded article. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 04:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

@WikiOriginal-9: After some minor fixes, this article and therefore ALT0 is now good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 20:38, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
