Comments

• {{Green Bay Packers starting quarterbacks}} should be removed, as Coffeen isn't in the template nor is he on the main list
  • Cut, though I wonder if he should be on there...
• "Announcer" in the first sentence should be linked (Announcers#Other which is linked later in the lead)
  • Linked announcer.
• Their first quarterback, he began officiating games in the National Football League (NFL) in 1921, these two phrases aren't related to each other. He playing as the first QB isn't related to him officiating games later.
  • Changed to He played college football for the Findlay Oilers and Beloit Buccaneers before playing for the inaugural Green Bay Packers squad in 1919, being their first quarterback. He began officiating games in the National Football League (NFL) in 1921, when it was known as the American Professional Football Association (APFA), and also served as the first public address announcer for the Packers.
• as a beverage tax collector, serving there for over 20 years.-->as a beverage tax collector for over 20 years.
  • Done.
• had a daughter with her, with his daughter also being a leading Wisconsin golfer.-->had a daughter who became a leading Wisconsin golfer.
  • Done.
• References:
  • All references are consistently formatted and reliable for what is being cited
  • Spot checks: #1, #3 (I have the printed source), #2, #4, #6, #9, #12 all look good
  • Regarding Ref #4 and #2, you could mention his parent's names and that his dad was a doctor in the Green Bay area (helps establish his roots)
    • Added.
