GA Review

[edit]

Overall the article is good. It's shorter than I'd like, especially given his accolades, but i won't hold it against you. Anyway, here are a couple issues I found:

  • Any chance on a bit of expansion or are the sources exhausted? If the latter that's okay.
  • I'd beef up the fair use rationale a bit. It's fine for inclusion in and of itself, but if you're heading to FAC with this I don't know if it would pass as is.  Done
  • Ref #11 (Football program, traditions spurred by Dodd) is a dead link.  Done
  • Your source says he led the Vols to a 24-1-1 record, yet I'm finding several that say 27-1-2, including the sources below.  Done

Prose wise everything looks good. In terms of sourcing and info adding, I found a couple more sources that may help you out: [1][2][3]

I'll put it on hold for a few days and pass it if it looks ready then. Wizardman 02:01, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very enjoyable review. :) Still need to add these sources [4][5] to the article. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 15:46, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The major points are there in the article, and although expansion is certainly recommended via the sources I presented and authors, I feel the comfortable passing it as a GA (though I wouldn't go to FAC yet if that's your eventual goal). Wizardman 03:51, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've been spanked enough at FAC to know to not bring things there until they're good and ready. And even then, who knows what will happen. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:44, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
