• "He stopped racing until 1903, but then began winning many half-mile and one-mile tournaments, won the Central Illinois championship,[3] and was selected as the central Illinois representative for the United States cycling team, which was to compete at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri.[1][3]" change to "He stopped racing until 1903, but then began winning many half-mile and one-mile tournaments. He won the Central Illinois championship,[3] and was selected as the central Illinois representative for the United States cycling team, which was to compete at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri.[1][3]"

• Where is The Herald located?
• Where is The Capitol located?
  • I couldn't find either locations – the names are really common which makes it difficult...
• "McCrea led the Milwaukee Newspaper guild strike in 1936" Any details on what the strike was about or if it was successful?
  • Found an article on the results and added a bit.
• "With the newspapers he worked for, he served as sportswriter, real estate editor, automotive editor, and a copy editor" He didn't have all those roles at each paper I presume?
  • Correct – reworded.
• Body doesn't say where he died?
  • Added.
• Could you find a picture of him?
  • I couldn't find one.
• Added cat: Radio personalities from Illinois

I think that's everything. This article is a little short but you've probably scrounged up everything there is to find about this cyclist from 1904 (you usually do). Nice research! ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:58, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
