I can review this shortly. Seattle (talk) 15:31, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks much. I'm here and can answer any questions and concerns. --Batard0 (talk) 16:27, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

• Comments:
• No DAB links, no dead links

• How do you know the card wasn't published without a copyright, and it wasn't renewed?
  • I was advised some time ago by another editor that Bowman cards up to the 1980s are in the public domain because their copyrights weren't renewed. There's some information on it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Style advice. There's a Bowman-specific PD notice here, but it pertains to Bowman's baseball cards, not its football cards. I assume it also applies to the company's football cards – I've been told as much, at least – but if you think there's not enough information to support this, I'm more than happy to substitute a standard fair-use rationale. --Batard0 (talk) 17:39, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
    • With that in mind, I would assume so too. Seattle (talk) 01:24, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

• Lead needs an ndash for the year range
  • Fixed. --Batard0 (talk) 17:39, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

• was called up for service in the Korean War after the season. called into, perhaps, is better than "called up", which is idiomatic.
  • Fixed. --Batard0 (talk) 17:39, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

• win-loss-tie record needs the ndashes, like the records.
  • Done. --Batard0 (talk) 17:39, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

• What evidence is there to suggest Humble was a "star" at the high school level? I read the "early life" section and can't find anything.
  • Changed to "multi-sport athlete". --Batard0 (talk) 17:39, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

• How did the Colts acquire the rights to Humble?
  • He was selected in the AAFC draft, per the source. It's not available for free online, but it says: "Humble was on the Baltimore Colts' draft list..." --Batard0 (talk) 18:56, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

• How did the Texans team do?
  • One win and 11 losses. Added. --Batard0 (talk) 18:56, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

• I would take a sentence in the first paragraph of "early life" to mention birth date and location.
  • Added. Turns out he was born in a San Antonio suburb, but his birthplace was listed incorrectly as San Antonio in the infobox. That's fixed too. --Batard0 (talk) 19:13, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

• deserves a mention.
  • Added. --Batard0 (talk) 19:13, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

• Copyright spotchecks check out. I'll pass when these issues are responded to. Seattle (talk) 15:31, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the thorough review, and I'm happy to make any further changes. --Batard0 (talk) 19:13, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
