... that Burt Gustafson was described as the "grand old man" of the Wyoming Cowboys football coaching staff despite being only 36? Source: Casper Star-Tribune ("Burt Gustafson, at 36, has the rare distinction of being the "grand old man" of Coach Lloyd Eaton's youthful, new football staff at the University of Wyoming. The other five assistants in the Cowboy's youth movement range from 29 to 34.")

Imagine my surprise at finding an article here that involves a person that attended the same college I did and retired near my hometown! The article is well-cited, comprehensive, new, and meets the length requirements. The hook was verified by myself and is interesting enough. QPQ still needs to be completed.

BeanieFan11 I was going to promote this, but I see we're still waiting on the QPQ. So a polite reminder about that. -- RoySmith(talk) 16:10, 3 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

After attending Northern Michigan University (NMU) where he was a three-sport star, he coached several high school football, basketball, and track and field teams before returning to NMU where he served from 1956 to 1961 as a coach in four sports. long sentence, consider splitting into two.
This may be personal preference, but if you don't have a really controversial statement, I typically don't like having references in the middle of sentences. Just push them to the end of the sentence. Just a recommendation to make reading easier.
...also found time to attend the... a little too colloquial, just say it like it is ...also attended the...
...the University of Michigan, and earned... -> ...the University of Michigan, where he earned...
...basketball coach, but became varsity head coach... no need for the comma
...resigning to focus on track and football... be consistent with the use of "track and field" instead of just "track"
NAIA should be written out and linked
...he was shifted to a front office role, after just one year as special teams coach. no need for the comma
Again, Oxford comma here but not in previous section.
In the 2010s, he was interviewed several times by Green Bay Packers historian Cliff Christl. this seems like a random sentence. Is there more context you can add, like why or what came out of the interviews?
The "Notes" section should be in its own level-2 section. Then "References" can hold the citations and the "Citations" heading can be deleted. See George Whitney Calhoun for an example.
References 3, 10, 13, 19, 20, 21 and 23 should have access-dates
I archived links, btw
Spot check: #10 looks good, #15 looks good, #21 looks good, and #23 looks good. Earwig brought up no issues.
I think I've addressed all the issues, @Gonzo fan2007: - let me know if there's any other concerns. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:17, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
BeanieFan11, I added the interview sentence back in and expanded a bit. Sorry, I thought it was really good to include, it just needed some more. I also added in another Christl source, since I think it is a great article to provide additional reference. Looks good, passing! « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 15:37, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
