• He attended Abilene High School in Abilene, Texas.[1] He helped Abilene win the state football title in 1955 and 1956.-->He attended Abilene High School in Abilene, Texas, where he helped the football team win titles in 1955 and 1956.
• Stephens was a member of the Hardin–Simmons Cowboys of Hardin–Simmons University from 1957 to 1960. is there a way to reword this so that "Hardin-Simmons" isn't repeated so quickly in succession?
• In 1958, he totaled 68-->The next season, he totaled 68 would sound better
• conpletions spelling
• the Jets next game should be "Jets'", right?
• He became a Christian in 1978.[3] Stephens and his wife founded the Living Way Ministries in 1980. I think these sentences could be combined to improve the flow of the text
• You should link Evangelicalism and I would recommend deleting , teaching the Bible as self-evident
• References:
  • Formatting: there are a number of times where you have consecutive sentences cited to the same source. These can be combined, having just one inline citation at the end of the consecutive sentences (Ref 1 and 3 especially, also 7)
  • Reliability: all appear reliable for what is being cited
  • Spot checks: 3, 7, 11, 14, 19
• Nice work! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:15, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
