Notes

• I went ahead and added the American football ends, Canadian football ends, Canadian football placekicker, and American players of Canadian football cats.
• In the infobox, it says his weight is 220 but PFA says 229. Stats Crew does say 220 but the source we are using says 229 so we should use that.
  • Changed.
• Looks like PFA says he was born in Rhode Island?
  • I didn't add that originally as I was a little skeptical on whether that was the case - there wasn't really anything that discussed his exact birth place but this said he was "from Fort Lauderdale, Florida" and only attending high school in RI - I could change it if you'd like.
• "best year as a senior". Maybe add "in 1961" to that. I know what you're trying to do but I think it reads easier with 1961 there.
  • Changed.
• "Viti had his best year as a senior, being through the first four games the ninth-best receiver nationally before suffering an injury". Suggest changing to "Viti had his best year as a senior, being the ninth-best receiver nationally through the first four games before suffering an injury"
  • Done.
• Could you find any stats on his college career?
  • Found SR's listing here - I added them.
• Change Commanders to Redskins.
  • Oops... changed.
• "it was a non-binding contract, i.e. if an American" Comma after i.e.
  • Done.
• "He helped them reach and win the 51st Grey Cup while totaling as a receiver 27 catches for 361 yards with one score, and as a kicker converting four-of-eight field goals, 13-of-17 extra points and scoring one single." It kind of feels like there should be commas in that sentence after both receiver and kicker but that would look weird. I suggest we move receiver and kicker to the ends as follows: "He helped them reach and win the 51st Grey Cup while totaling 27 catches for 361 yards with one score as a receiver, and converting four-of-eight field goals, 13-of-17 extra points and scoring one single as a kicker."
  • Changed.
• "In subsequent seasons Viti" Comma after seasons
  • Done.
• "the 1967 team didn't allow" Change didn't to did not
  • Changed.
• Could you find anything on his life after football?
  • Viti's life after football was remarkably obscure - when I wrote the article I was unable to find anything discussing his later life (there is this interview but it mainly talks about his football career) - and usually there's an obit that'll discuss it, but in this case there was not a single one published on him.
• Do we need the Facebook ref? It looks like his death is in the PFA ref. We can move the Facebook link to the talk page for historical archiving.
  • I changed it - originally the facebook link was the only think mentioning his death, but presumably PFA found out about it and then updated their page.
• We can upload a non-free image of him since he is deceased. See my uploads for examples. From a quick glance, it doesn't look like there are any good images of him on Google that don't have watermarks besides the trading cards but I would try to find something else before we resorted to using those (they might be copyrighted). Is there a picture in newspapers.com?
  • There's a decent amount of pictures of him available - from google: [1] [2], two here, and then newspaper images here here here here and here, plus the trading cards. Take your pick :)
