Hello. I will review this. I should be able to start tomorrow. BoJó | talk UTC 22:23, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. This is nearly there except that it needs some more in the lead. I've added a few minor things like the location of the paper and the prepend templates. Basically, the lead should include something about Canadian football and perhaps the bit at the end of the article about him not wearing shoulder pads, which is a potential DYK piece.

As far as the GA criteria is concerned, the article is well-written and well-sourced. It's in scope, has a good image and there are no OR or POV issues. The only problem is the lead being short.

I'll put it on hold but I'm not applying any deadline. Please ping me when you've had chance to look at it. Thanks. BoJó | talk UTC 19:16, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Boca Jóvenes: I've rewritten the lead. Do you think its alright? BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:44, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, BeanieFan11. I certainly do think it's all right. I'm promoting this to WP:GA now. Thanks for your help. Well done and all the best. BoJó | talk UTC 23:18, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- We can't say he was the only one if the source just claims he is said to be the only one. MANdARAX XAЯAbИAM 06:26, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
