Talk:Sid Justin

Need help with this.

This is my first Wikipedia page other than my own. I don't really know anything about editing, just here to mainly fix small stuff.

If you are a Wikipedia maestro, please help me with Wikipedia stuff. BoopyCarrot12 (talk) 11:23, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

  • ALT1: ... that Sid Justin almost became a Miracle, but he turned it down to play professional football?
    • @Theleekycauldron: I'm fine with that if you think its a better hook. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:41, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
    • No strong opinion on ALT1, a bit cheeky and he did become a member of the Miracles later on anyway, but it does pass all criteria... -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:49, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Notes

• Added cats Junior college football players and coaches in the United States, Otis College of Art and Design alumni, New Orleans football, African-Americans
• "in 1973, after his graduation from Crenshaw" remove comma
  • Removed.
• "Crenshaw, and was" remove comma
  • Done.
• "named All-Pacific Coast Athletic Association" do you know if first or second team? add to infobox
  • Can't seem to find if it was first / second team - just added to the infobox without the -team selection.
• "on August 14, 1980, and" that source says its yesterdays transactions so 13th
  • Fixed.
• "He was waived by Tampa Bay on August 26" same for this
  • Fixed.
• "signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL) on September 8" not sure when but probably not the same day the source was published
  • Sounds like it was around September 6, so I added "c. September 6"
• "signed with the Buffalo Bills in April 1981" PFA has Feb.
  • Changed.
• "placed on injured reserve on August 18" that's probably not Aug 18 either but i dont know
  • Changed to 17 as that seems to have been when it occurred.
• add that he was released by the Bills on 8/31/1981 per PFA
  • Done.
• no date spans for coaching career? I'm not asking you to include that if you dont want because that gets confusing sometimes.
  • The source didn't really give exact dates.
• "charts in Asia for five months" ref 25 says 6 months
  • Do you think we should go with Justin's website, that of The Miracles, or add a note?
    • Just pick one then add a note for the discrepancy. Also just for my purposes, I am noting that this is the last thing that needs done. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 20:34, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
      • @WikiOriginal-9: Note added. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:39, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
