• @WikiOriginal-9: I think I addressed everything from your previous review. Is there anything else, or should I re-nominate it? BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:24, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

  I think "He finished with 52 total points in 11 games, first on the team" would be better as "He finished with a team-leading 52 total points in 11 games." I think that's everything. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:31, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

  @WikiOriginal-9: Changed and nominated. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
