Archie Amerson
[edit]- ... that Canadian football player Archie Amerson was described as both halves of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' "one-two punch"? Source: "Past woes shouldn't be extra motivation"
Improved to Good Article status by BU Rob13 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:42, 7 January 2018 (UTC).
GA, in time, long enough, sourced, inline/offline hook citation accepted AGF, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. BU Rob13, any particular reason to have the attribution to the Spectator in the hook? Seems a bit punchier without it. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:18, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Usernameunique: I'm fine taking it out. I usually try to attribute such "catchy" quotes to a particular paper to make it clear it isn't Wikipedia asserting the quote. ~ Rob13Talk 07:24, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
BU Rob13, removed the line and approving. I think it's fine, as it's both attributed and cited in the article, and the phrase "was described" makes it clear that it is not a claim that Wikipedia itself is asserting. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:30, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
