• In the Early life section, you quote the "Marinette Eagle-Star" in the text, but the source is "Marinette Menominee EagleHerald"
  • The first quote is from the Eagle-Star (whose quote was mentioned in the EagleHerald), while the second comes from the Eagle-Herald. Thoughts?

• be the team's only "outsider" that year the quote for just one word isn't necessary. You could just say "non-local"
  • Changed.
• Did he not play in 1920?
  • He did. I changed the one sentence to He continued playing for the Packers in 1920. (I had accidentally put 1921 before)
• References:
  • Spot checks: #1, #4, #7, #12 look good

• BeanieFan11, would you consider ALT1 ... that Sammy Powers was the only member of the original 1919 Green Bay Packers team who was not a local player? I think having "1919" in it makes it more interesting. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:22, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
  • That works too. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:10, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
• This article, 5x expanded between 24 and 26 February, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. No copyvio issues. QPQ done. I like ALT1, which is in the article, cited, and citation checks out (thank you for providing a quote BeanieFan11, otherwise I would have been lost). GTG. Tenpop421 (talk) 14:23, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
