7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Expand lead.
  • Expanded.
• "American professional"
  • Done.
• High school infobox formatting.
  • Done.
• Spell out TDs in infobox highlight
  • Done.
• Body needs to say what year he joined Nassau and Dodge.
  • Done.
• So, what month did he leave Nassau? Was he actually om the roster?
  • Unclear what month, but it sounds like he was there for all of 2013 per Florida bio.
• Might need to change the alumni cat to Nassau football players, depending on the above.
• Is his full name just Mark Thompson? I couldn't find his Florida bio online.
  • Florida bio here. No full name. PFA also just 'Mark Thompson'.
• Change height and weight to match PFR unless there is a different source for that?
  • Changed.
• Remove "as of" from infobox. He's not on a team right now.
  • Done.
• Change early life to participated in football and track. I've never heard anyone say "play track"
  • Changed.
• What incident at school?
  • Doesn't say.
• "sensed it was not a good fit" change to "thought it was not a good fit"
  • Changed.
• "After going undrafted, he was signed by the Baltimore Ravens" when?
  • Added.
• "He was released at the final roster cuts" change to "He was released during final roster cuts before the start of the regular season"
  • Done.
• The jets section should say he became a free agent after the season.
  • Done.
• The lions section should say what day or month he signed the futures deal.
  • Done.
• "Thompson was signed to the practice squad of the Baltimore Ravens" remove Baltimore. It's already mentioned earlier.
  • Done.
• "were all transferred" remove all
  • Done.
• Did he only play one game in 2024?
  • Added more details on the season.
• His USFL stats need updated in the infobox. It would be nice if a source was added somehow too without looking too weird.
  • Done.
• Could probably remove the NFL team subheadings and combine them all into a "National Football League" subheading since each stint has its own paragraph anyway.
  • Removed the subheadings. I merged some of the small paragraphs – let me know if that looks alright.
• Is there anything else on this early life? College bios usually have stuff like that.
• Any personal life? College bios usually have stuff like that.
  • Didn't find anything with the above two – his college bio doesn't have anything.

That's all, nice work. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:31, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
