- Changed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:55, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
he was a CFL East all star in 80, 82 and 83 as well so add that to the body and infobox. See statscrew and the cfl seasons pages on wikipedia.
- Added. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:31, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hi @Gonzo fan2007: thanks for your help. CFL All Star and CFL East All Star are actually two different things. CFLEastAllStar is a different parameter in the infobox. (See Junior Ah You for an example) Walker was a CFL East All Star in 80, 82 and 83 and a CFL All Star in 82 and 83. I was suggesting to note all five of those selections in the lead and infobox. See 1982 CFL season, where he is listed twice. Thanks! ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 00:15, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - WikiOriginal-9, fixed! Sorry don't know the CFL as well as the NFL. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 00:49, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Switched to 5'9". « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:46, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
those sources don't seem to say he died in austin Done
- The second source says Walker returned to the Austin area and opened a restaurant named Hoover’s. A celebration of life will be held next Friday, Apr. 22 from 4-7 pm at King-Tears Funeral Home in Austin. Services will be held next Saturday. Apr. 23 at 12 noon at Greater Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Austin.. I think this is enough to support the "death_place" field in the infobox being Austin. Let me know if you disagree. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:55, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm just gonna be bold and remove it since the source doesn't specifically say that. Better safe than sorry. The body already says he returned to Austin. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:34, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9: You can mark any of the remaining GA nominations which I have not gotten to (that you've reviewed) as withdrawn for now ... too busy to get to any currently... and who knows... I might need them for next year's competition

Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:04, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: Per WP:GAN/I#N3:

"Withdrawing: To withdraw a nomination before the review has begun, remove the GA nominee template from the article talk page. To withdraw a nomination after the review has begun, let the reviewer know; the reviewer will then fail the nomination."

Just confirming that you want me to fail these before I do it. You're going to get a bunch of talk page messages. :)

Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:07, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11 and WikiOriginal-9:, are you opposed to me taking over this nomination? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:02, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Gonzo fan2007: Sure, you can take it if you like. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:00, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WikiOriginal-9, I think I have addressed all your comments. Please let me know if you have any follow-up items. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:31, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Gonzo fan2007: Can you expand his sophomore and junior year stats and make them follow the same general format as the freshmen and senior years? (Example: 78 carries for 311 yards and three touchdowns) ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:19, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonzo fan2007: Also, besides the point above about his sophomore and junior year stats, the only thing left is the following: Could you include his CFL East All-Star selections in 1980, 1982 and 1983 in the body? They are in the lead but they should be in the body as well. Thanks! ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:40, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- WikiOriginal-9, all done I believe. Let me know if there is anything else. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: and @Gonzo fan2007: All points have been addresssed. Passing the article. Congratulations BeanieFan11 and Gonzo fan2007! ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 16:08, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
