Overall: @BeanieFan11: Good article. Though i think that hook alt1 should be worded differently like "that Darryl Milburn made his Canadian Football League debut on his birthday, but did not appear in any other games that year?" because putting the and there doesn't seem like the correct way to word it. Also need a QPQ. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:51, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I slightly reworded ALT1. Will review a qpq soon. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:56, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

I copyedited the article here. Let me know if you disagree with any edits.
He was able to increase his size to 6 ft 5 in, 264 lb, the way this is written, it makes it seem like he made himself grow longer. Maybe rerword to say he increase his weight to 264 lbs while also growing 2 inches in height?
