Cbl62, anything that throws shade on OSU is good for the front page. But I think you need to make sure that "hot stripper" is mentioned in the article, not just in the references.
Long enough (we're looking for text expansion, new enough, etc. I didn't check everything, but I did check the 25 names of the reserve awards and found no errors. There's no plagiarism that I could see either. So all we need is a review and a hot stripper. Drmies (talk) 16:16, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies: I added "hot stripper" to the body. ... and really no shade intended ... Woody is one of the all-time greats. His passion was irrepressible ... unfortunately that passion went too far 20 years later when he punched an opposing player on the sidelines. Cbl62 (talk) 16:43, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cbl62, where I'm from "passion" is spelled S-A-B-A-N, which is oddly enough the same way you spell "near God-like perfection". BTW I looked for images of your stripper but couldn't find anything inappropriate. Good luck with the front page appearance. Drmies (talk) 17:11, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
