  • OK. Both honor and awarded did make it seem redundant. Cake (talk) 03:26, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
  • I suppose I could link to a yearbook or roster for the first sentence and to an article on the jump shift in the second sentence if I must force a citation into the depth chart, but it seems to the me the chart falls under Wikipedia:CALC. The plagiarism tool seems to hit due to a quote from Riegels. Cake (talk) 23:56, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Full review needed by human reviewer; should check to see whether the issues raised by the bot are significant. (Paragraphs without sourcing are probably significant.) BlueMoonset (talk) 00:07, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
  • The article was promoted to GA before the nom, is clearly long enough, and the hook is within the 200-character limit and quite interesting. AGF on the hook cite, since it appears that the book has just been removed from Google Books. I performed spot-checks of refs 3, 9, 18, 19, 43, which includes the main ones pointed out by the bot, and found the following:
    • The 28.1% match from ref 43 is from direct quotes, as Cake said; there were a couple small style variations between one of the quotes (the one on how he couldn't go on) and the one in the article, so those may be worth tweaking.
    • Ref 18 had the only bit of close paraphrasing I saw. It says "Father Lumpkin from Tech intercepted two Notre Dame passes, running the second one to the Irish three-yard line to set up the clincher." Article: "Father Lumpkin intercepted two Irish passes, returning the second to the 3-yard line to set up the winning score." That should probably be made less close to the source.
    • Ref 19 doesn't have the last sentence it is supposed to be citing ("I counted 20 scoring plays that this man ruined")
    • I do recommend adding a source to the depth chart. Even if you count the starting lineups, it doesn't really confirm who Tech's third-string center would have been, for example. The rest of the article is well-cited. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:34, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the interest Giants. I tried to fix your worries. Given the username I should mention Lynn Bomar was my first GA. Cake (talk) 05:55, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
The fixes look good to me, and the article appears ready to go. It's stronger than most of what I usually see come through DYK, and the hook fact appears to be supported well enough, even though I unfortunately couldn't check the book. Forgot to mention this above, but the QPQ review was also done, and my other checks from earlier didn't turn up anything alarming. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:41, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
