Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: A very well done article on an interesting athlete! I had actually wondered recently what the record was for most college football seasons; now you've answered it for me! Either hook works; the second one I found interesting because I actually wrote Webb's article. Looks good to go! BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:17, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We equivocate with " thought to be" in ALT0 and maybe that is ok. The "first" hooks get scrutiny. Bruxton (talk) 15:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BeanieFan11 and Red-tailed hawk: Found what I think is WP:CLOP in the personal life section. Please take a look and ping me when you have. Bruxton (talk) 16:04, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruxton: More or less that entire section (aside from the estrangement part) was added by a new user (an IP from Bend, Oregon and wentleft) after BeanieFan had reviewed. I noted some concerns about it in article talk, though I have to fix the article. There were some image copyright issues that I had fixed after the user’s edits, but I had missed the CLOP aspect.
I’ve no objection to removing the second paragraph in its entirety pending a rewrite—which would need to be fairly substantial given the sourcing and CLOP. Alternatively, I can try to re-write it in the AM tomorrow (UTC). Please let me know which you’d prefer. — Red-tailed sock (Red-tailed hawk's nest) 16:16, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BeanieFan11 and Red-tailed hawk: Thank you for the note, please address it and then ping me and I will promote. I like ALT0 and have a spot for it. Bruxton (talk) 16:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruxton: I’ve removed the offending paragraph. I’ll try to re-write it at some point before I go for GAN, but I think that the omission of the content is fine at DYK. — Red-tailed sock (Red-tailed hawk's nest) 16:26, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Personal life/charitable contributions section

[edit]

I'm looking at the content on charitable contributions, and while there's one apparently independent source, the remainder seem to be Press Releases ([1] [2]) or a Tweet (albeit one that links to an independent article). The section also might need some revisions as far as WP:WIKIVOICE and tone are concerned. I'll try to get on that before the page goes live on DYK. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 16:19, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
