Possible great source: A History of Sports Illustrated Magazine By Michael MacCambridge. Need to see if library has it. --Jayron32 14:15, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Memo to the writer of this article: Nice job! I notice it was begun a week after I added a capsule reference to Laguerre in the Sports Illustrated article, so I would like to think (rightly or wrongly) that that reference served as some sort of inspiration for you. In any case, it's a very good piece. Well done.DoctorJoeE (talk) 12:51, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Overall this article is good, though I have a couple concerns:

I found a couple places where commas were needed.
Make sure numbers under 10 are spelled out (i.e. "first man in history to run a competition mile in under 4 minutes")
Quotes need to be directly referenced (paragraph three of Managing editor)

I fixed the first two, though the third needs to be modified. Just do that and I'll pass the article as a GA. Not gonna bother putting it on hold since it's just a little thing to fix. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:29, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just a quick question on the quote you need referenced. I can't find any direct quotes not currently unambiguously referenced. Could you tell me what text needs the cite? If it is availible online, I can dig it out today. If it needs the book, I'll need to wait till I get home, since I am on vacation today. If you let me know which quote is ambiguous, I'll fix it as soon as possible. --Jayron32 20:32, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The one in question is 'In 1964, he asked Jule Campbell, then a fashion reporter for Sports Illustrated, to "go to some beautiful place and put a pretty girl on the cover" of that year's "Fun in the Sun" issue.' Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Went and tweaked that myself. Everything's fixed now so I'll pass it as a GA. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:42, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks. I assumed that the refs at the end of the paragraph covered it. Anyhoo, thanks for your help in reviewing this! --Jayron32 03:20, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
