Family section

Is a bit short. I'm just trying to imagine where it could be integrated... -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 22:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chappuis appears to be a very private person. I found only one reference to his wife and kids in dozens of articles about him. Given the shortness of the section, is it best to integrate?Cbl62 (talk) 22:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citation on the "so long as it wasn't Ohio State" quote in the Early years section.Y--Cbl62 (talk) 06:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I got some of the ndashes. You can get the rest.
- I think they're all fixed, but I'm not that familiar with "n dash" protcol. Other than connecting years, i.e., 1945-1946, when else is it used? Would it be used for example when refering to a score of 40-0 or a record of 11-0? Y--Cbl62 (talk) 06:41, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - See WP:DASH. I found a few more.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 13:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
College Football in 1942 section, Who is Tom Harmon and why is the comparision important to Chappuis?
- I revised to include info on Harmon's status as Chappuis' predecessor and Heisman Trophy winner. Y--Cbl62 (talk) 06:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
1947 season subsection has a number of stubby short paragraphs. Y--Cbl62 (talk) 06:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Passing specialist subsection, the quote staring "endowed with a passer's sixth sense.." needs a citation on it.Y--Cbl62 (talk) 06:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A few other short paragraphs throughout the article that might be combined or expanded, but nothing that just jumps at me badly.
Consider staggering the pics on both sides of the article to make it feel less like a column on the right side Y--Cbl62 (talk) 06:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.Ealdgyth | Talk 16:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, passing it now. Ealdgyth | Talk 16:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help Please

I can't figure out how to fix reference number 48, which is embedded in the last paragraph under "After Football." If anyone can fix the ref please do (and, if you feel like doing me a favour, let me know where I messed up on my talk page). Guyovski (talk) 20:50, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
