• At 1470 characters, the article falls below the required 1500 characters of prose at Wikipedia:Did you know#Selection criteria.
  George Godsey#Early life needs a reference.
  Spotcheck for close paraphrasing:
  Source: "Brian Ferentz was promoted from offensive assistant to tight ends coach."
  Article: "On February 17, 2011, Godsey was hired by the New England Patriots as an offensive assistant, after Brian Ferentz was promoted from offensive assistant to tight ends coach."
  Please check the rest of the article for possible close paraphrasing or plagiarism.
  For the sources, please remember in the future to include the publisher data:

  |work=

  will italicize the work's name. And

  |publisher=

  will not italicize the publisher's name. I've added those parameters to the references. Cunard (talk) 07:47, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks for the quick review. I lengthened it by adding more to the early life. I also sourced that section and fixed the close paraphrasing. Hot Stop talk-contribs 08:00, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

• The article is now at 1719 characters. You added:

  His older brother Greg at Air Force and his younger brother Gary played at Notre Dame

  This material about Godsey's brothers is indirectly related to the subject and might be termed "fluff" by some editors. Wikipedia:Did you know#Selection criteria states:

  In practice, articles longer than 1,500 characters may still be rejected as too short, at the discretion of the selecting reviewers.

  I think this clause was written for cases such as this, where more material can be added.
  Google News Archive returns many more articles about George Godsey. Would you do some more expansion of the article from those sources? If you add at least three or four more sentences of material directly related to George Godsey's career or life, I will pass this article.
  A review of the sources and the text reveals no plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Cunard (talk) 08:18, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I added more to the section on his college career. Hot Stop talk-contribs 08:59, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Much better. Thank you for your work on the article! Cunard (talk) 09:07, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
