I'll take a look at this. Harrias ^talk 09:32, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Early career

Could this section be expanded to include where and when he was born, and also clarify where University City High School is? Done
"As a junior in 1984, Alphin caught 14 passes for 256 yards.." Explain what this means please.

Example: Alphin plays in three games during the 1984 season, catching 2 passes in each game for a total of 6 catches all season. He also gained 5 yards on each catch. Then you would say that he caught 6 passes for 30 yards in 1984. This seems like common terminology in the football world. Thoughts? WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:09, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Articles need to be understandable to everyone though, but just those who follow the right sport. Best solution is just to add a note explaining it, similar to that. Harrias ^talk 21:15, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a note. Thoughts? WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:41, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Professional career

"..while having a favorable effect on the Blue Bombers' import ratio." Explain what an "import ratio" is. Done
"..signing didn't occur.." No contractions please: did not. Done
Should the last paragraph have a new subsection, as it was not for Winnipeg, so is a bit misleading? Done
The "CFL season statistics" table needs row and column scopes per MOS:DTT, and would benefit from being sortable too.

I made the table sortable. You might wanna double-check to see if I added the scopes right. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:09, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, this is a well-written article with very little to work on, well done. Harrias ^talk 10:24, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@BU Rob13: This review has been on hold for eight days with no response from you, though I see you've been active elsewhere. Are you still intending to be involved with this article? Harrias ^talk 09:32, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per this, I'm going to help Rob finish this review. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 10:40, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Harrias: Yes, I also will help out with this over the weekend if there are issues outstanding. I've been fairly busy with other stuff on-wiki and with off-wiki stuff lately, so it takes me a bit to get to these things these days. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 13:27, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
