7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Early life and college

• Link first mention of senior
• What does Eastern refer to? I'm thinking adding something like "region" would provide context, but I don't know enough about the time period to definitively say.

Professional career

• Link first mention of U.S. Army in Giants section instead of second mention in Argonauts section
• Pfeifer finished his stint in Toronto with team records for most career 100-yard games with 17 and most 100-yard games in a season with eight seems a bit redundant. Can I suggest something like: Pfeifer finished his stint in Toronto with team records for most 100-yard games in a career (17) and in a season (eight)?

Personal life and legacy

• Was there any information on what we did for offseason work in Toronto?
  • I can't find anything. It just said he had a job. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:36, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

References

• Add |via=[[Newspapers.com to applicable citations
• To avoid WP:REFCLUTTER and adhere more closely to WP:TSI, I'd recommend moving the PFA ref right after the comma on the first sentence of the 1955 season paragraph.
  • Also, the mention of the interception at the end of the paragraph seems a bit out of place. I think it would be better suited if it were moved into an earlier part of the paragraph, with the rest of his personal stats.
• Source check
  • Source 6: Original date of the AP story is May 5, so that looks to be when he was signed.
  • Source 1g: PFA is only showing me receiving touchdowns for 1951 and 1953. The rows for those years are empty for every other stat.
  • Long illness not verified by PFA.

General comments

• No stability concerns in the revision history
• Copyvio score looks good
• Free image used

I believe I addressed everything. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 12:12, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
