Overall: The final sentence in the article (beginning, "His gravestone inscription...") doesn't have a citation and indicates an opinion rather than simple facts. A citation is needed for that. The initial sentence in the "Early years" section needs a citation since it doesn't state a fact (rather, it's a guess about where he was born). I've also listed a couple alternative hooks below. @Tfhentz and Onegreatjoke: Let me know what you think. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:48, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

- @Tfhentz: Thanks for removing the uncited opinion (the "is a fitting remembrance" part) and adding the citations. I've updated the review. Thoughts on the hooks? ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:42, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
- They're fine. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:04, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- I guess we'll need someone else to chime in on which should be used since I probably shouldn't approve an Alt I wrote. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:23, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
Tagging as someone else will need to approve one of the ALTs since I wrote them. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:24, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Approving Alt 2. --evrik (talk) 22:30, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- First, thanks very much for your review. ALT1 alters the chronological order of when Tannehill was named president of the two entities. I tried to list his various offices in time order. ALT2 adds his extortion conviction almost as an afterthought. I prefer devoting several sentences to its full context. Tfhentz (talk) 22:44, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
Found a clipping of the Flashbacks mention
[edit]Tfhentz - Seeing you're the FA editor I wanted to mention this on the article talk. Anyway, found a clipping off of Newspapers(dot)com for the Flashbacks mention of when Tannehill's grave was moved to Allegheny Cemetery but hesitate to add it - am concerned that the linkage etc will disturb your present referencing. Anyway, I'll post the citation's information here along with the cite web template below:

Feel free to add it or not. If possible, I always like to make reference as accessible as possible. Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 03:49, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Shearonink, Thanks for your suggestion! I'm hesitant to add the link for the original Post-Gazette article because I fear the link will only be be available for a short period of time. I believe Newspapers.com is a pay-per-view site, so isn't there a limited time for access to any one article? I quote the article anyway; I think that's probably enough. I appreciate your interest.

Tannehill ancestry
[edit]Wondering if Adamson is an ancestor of the late Ray Tannehill, known to many Pittsburgh residents as a longtime news anchor. 2603:8001:2A00:7428:6841:8B1C:620A:4C7D (talk) 21:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Adamson Tannehill had no children, but his brother, Josiah, was also present in early Pittsburgh. Perhaps Ray is his descendant. Thanks for your interest! Tfhentz (talk) Tfhentz (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
