Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Added cats.
"former American" Change to new lead.
"tied with Brian Glasgow" maybe change to "tied with Brian Glasgow who debuted the same week"
Fixed PFA link.
"Stadnik began attending Western Illinois University in 1979 but did not play for their Leatherneck football team that year" That makes it sort of sound like he wasn't even on the team.
"second-team All-Mid-Continent Conference" add to infobox.
"Stadnik was named All-American by Associated Press" Do you know if it's first team or second team? add to infobox.
"Stadnik was named All-American by Associated Press" change to "Stadnik was named All-American by the Associated Press"
"He was released by the team on July 18, 1983" Change to Seahawks for better flow here since the Blitz are also mentioned.
"Stadnik was placed on the developmental squad of the Wranglers to begin the 1984 USFL season, on March 18 that year, later being activated on April 1 after two games there" I understand this sentence but you have to read it twice, it's just a tad confusing.
Link "Oklahoma Outlaws"?
"He was released on August 3, 1988" change to "He was released again on August 3, 1988"
Two sentences feels a little short for a GA lead. I know this article isn't huge and there's not much to say though.

That's all. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 12:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
