  • Or: ALT1 ... that NFL player Adrian Baril also was a "fat men's race" champion? BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:44, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. Well, uh, that's a hook (in a good way), though I strongly prefer ALT1 to ALT0 for source fidelity reasons. Nothing jumps out as an issue. Fixed some minor quibbles I had with newspaper referencing, some of which I'd have brought up in a GAN too. (Watch out for those pesky papers that merge and change their masthead!)

I will check sources 6, 20, 36, 38, and 49. History6042😊 (Contact me) 02:44, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
All are good. History6042😊 (Contact me) 02:49, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why do some sources call the college team the Cadets and the newer ones call them Tommies. Was there a name change? History6042😊 (Contact me) 02:52, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article also says that he specialized in weight events in track and field events. I do not know if America is different, but in Canada where I am from track and field does not encompass weightlifting. Should this be put in a different sentence unrelated to track and field. Or if it doesn't mean weightlifting then there should be an explanation. History6042😊 (Contact me) 02:57, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please change the ancestry.ca reference to a proper template. History6042😊 (Contact me) 02:59, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I tried and it didn't work so this is fine. History6042😊 (Contact me) 15:16, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Is one source not having his high school enough to say it is unknown.? History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:00, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I found more so this is fine. History6042😊 (Contact me) 15:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For the sentence about his marriage, I don't think the bride's surname should be there unless it is her maiden name. I think this because he didn't marry a Marguerite Baril, he married a Marguerite ___, who then became Marguerite Baril. History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:03, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A source for his middle name should be added as an inline ciation. History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:06, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Could a caption be added for the image? @BeanieFan11; pinging as this is the last comment I have, once you fix these I can pass the article. History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:07, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
None of the remaining issues are preventative from this becoming a GA, just things to make it better, pass. History6042😊 (Contact me) 15:17, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@History6042: Thanks for the review. To answer your comments from the review: the Tommies were originally the Cadets, before changing their name at some point after Baril's career; weight events, I think, refer to things like the shot put or hammer throw (throwing a heavy ball, hence "weight") -- though given that its not specified in the source, I think it's best to leave it as is; and I changed the sentence about marriage.
