Spot checks:

  • Zimmerman, Paul (October 8, 1984). "HE'S CATCHING UP TO THE CATCHING RECORD". Sports Illustrated
    • The article says "the only child in a low income family" but I don't see low income in the ref?
  • Distel, Dave (December 13, 1986). "Don't strike up band, just give Charlie Joiner a hand". Los Angeles Times
    • The article says "Joiner was disappointed, but said that the younger receivers had practiced all week for the game and it would have been unfair to them if he had played" but I don't see that in the ref?
    • Everything else for this ref looks good.
  • Magee, Jerry (December 29, 1979). "Aging Charlie Joiner now a thinking man's receiver". Shreveport Times
    • Articles says "Joiner struggled with post-surgery knee problems during the year" but I don't see surgery mentioned in the ref?
    • Everything else for this ref looks good.
  • Football's lopsided deal". Pomona Progress-Bulletin. United Press International. July 27, 1971
    • Looks good.
  • "Stewart, D.L. (July 19, 1973). "Bengals trade may prove OK". Dayton Journal Herald"
    • Looks good.
  • Dolan, Steve. "For Joiner, Career Had Thrills and a Regret : He Recalls Records, but Missed Super Bowl". Los Angeles Times.
    • The article says "Joiner excelled despite neither being among the quickest nor most talented receivers in the NFL" but the ref is paywalled so could you tell me what the ref says in regards to that? Just wanted to double check because that is a significant claim.
  • Ref 139 for the below says "broken anchor"?
    • "In addition to good health and longevity, Joiner was an intelligent player and precise pass route runner"
  • "Joiner". Los Angeles Times. November 14, 1984. p. III-8 – via newspapers.com.
    • Looks good.

  • His second-team All-Pro selection should go in the honors section too.
  • "Charles B. Joiner Jr." needs a reference but references don't go in the lead so his full name should be cited in the first sentence of the early life section.
  • In lead: "with over half his catches coming after his 32nd birthday" I don't see that in the body?
  • It looks like a lot of the newspapers and publishers in the references section could be linked.

  • I think the article should say how the Oilers were absorbed into the NFL in 1970.
