  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/The Tortured Poets Department

Created by PCN02WPS (talk). Self-nominated at 17:36, 5 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Cam Little; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Article is new enough and long enough. I am bothered by the extreme similarity of the article text with #1. Also it doesn't specify the names of the teams he turned down, at least not clearly enough for me to understand what they are. Going to AGF on the table; large numbers of numbers make my eyes glaze over. Where does #2 say "starting"? I don't see "Wuerfel Trophy" in #3. AGFing also on #5. Infobox is unsourced. 'bout the hook, I think the first one is the one most interesting to a general audience. Did you do some spotchecking in Template:Did you know nominations/The Tortured Poets Department?

  • @Jo-Jo Eumerus: Teams he was also offered by are found at the bottom of source 1, the last thing in the "high school" section. "Starting placekicker" was in another source that I forgot to add there, so that is fixed. Cited Wuerffel Trophy and infobox stuff that isn't repeated in the body. What parts of the article do you feel are too similar to source 1? Is it general order of information presented or wording issues/close paraphrasing? Happy to change anywhere you see issues. Thank you for the review! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:52, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Close paraphrasing, essentially. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:34, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
      • @Jo-Jo Eumerus: tried to take care of some issues - if there is more that needs fixing or particular bits that I missed let me know. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:17, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
        • I don't see "player of the week" in https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/hogs-football/razorbacks-kicker-cam-little-was-prepared-for-overtime-winner-against-lsu. I think you've added a few references into already existing text, meaning that the text preceding by the new reference isn't always supported by it. Otherwise, it seems like most issues are resolved.
