Redlinks

Note that this page has several redlinks. The first is for his brother. I think there is about an 80% chance that an athlete that starts in the Ohio State offensive backfield for the season opener as a true freshman will be a professional athlete. Likewise for people who start on the Ohio State offensive line as sophomores. Most of these articles may be two or three years away, but they will exist.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:24, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the image used in the bio, it's description says he is blocking Dane Sanzenbacher of Navy. The thing is, Sanzenbacher doesn't play for Navy, he's Boren's teammate. I do not know who Boren is blocking, but this should be a reference to who Dane Sanzenbacher is and who he plays for : http://espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=235808 can someone edit that caption for the photo and put it as "Boren blocking a defender vs Navy" TPershiganv50 (talk) 00:03, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Honor roll is a disambiguation page.
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:11, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's one dead link according to [1].
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:59, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Add a comma between "28" and "with" in "On October 28 with Riley still injured".
- Done.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:18, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please spell NCAA out fully.in "the end of the NCAA-sanction".
- Done.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:20, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"In spring practice Boren impressed his coaches and teammates,[67][68] however he refused all interview requests." Shouldn't that be "During spring practice"? Replace the comma with a semi colon and add a comma after "however" instead.
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:31, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hyphenate "second year".
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:34, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Boren missed the October 31st". Please change the ordinal number to a cardinal no.
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:32, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the subheading "Personal" be "Personal life"?
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:35, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is the subheading "College" really mean "Career"? I'm guessing that playing collage football is not a career, but a past-time, am I right? Please forgive my lack of knowledge about American football, since I live in Melbourne, Australia.
- I tried to change it to College career.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:39, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's no alt text for the image files. See WP:ALT.
- Done.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:04, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm satisfied with the writing. With a few minor changes, I'm happy to past this article. Sp33dyphil ^{(T • C • I love Wikipedia!)} 04:00, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
