... that placekicker Lonny Calicchio was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles to the practice squad, promoted to the active roster, named starter, and released all within eight days? Source: Signing: [1]. Promotion and start: [2]. Release: [3]

New enough and long enough. This is DYK credit number 5: next time, you will need a QPQ, but not now. Hook fact checks out to sources and timing. No textual issues. As a note... I did add pages to the newspapers.com citations (this has to be done manually) and used last/first syntax instead of |author=. A couple of the articles span multiple pages, so you might want to see those article citations to see how to manage that. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:26, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is reasonably well written.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Lead needs expanded a little.
"American former professional"
New high school infobox formatting.
"Early life and college"
Full name cited in body.
"He lived in Burlington, Massachusetts" link
"He signed with Maryland in following the 1992 season" remove in
College years in infobox.
"He attended South Plantation High School, Plantation, Florida," put "in Plantation, Florida" and link it also.
spell out NJCAA, and put (NJCAA)
I assume they lost the national title game?
The college section ended a tad abruptly. What about senior stats or career totals?
"Calicchio was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles to the practice squad." Link practice squad.
"In 1998, he briefly spent time with the Buffalo Bills and was later signed by the Carolina Panthers, only to be released on August 25" More transaction details please. The transactions are on PFA (I know you already know that though).
He was on the Bills practice squad in 1997 also.
That's all. Really comprehensive work on this guy. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:00, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
