This article, promoted to GA on Feb 14, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. No copyvio issues. QPQ done Image public domain and legible at low res. All three hooks are okay, but I have to say this jumped out at me:
- ALT3: ... "Busy" Beasy was a boxer, professional footballer, and firefighter, all at the same time?
- @BeanieFan11: let me know if this hook works for you, and I can request another reviewer for it. Tenpop421 (talk) 15:27, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Tenpop421: Ooh, I like that one, though I'd tweak it a little to ALT3b ... that "Busy" Beasy was a boxer, professional football player, and firefighter, all at the same time? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:45, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
New reviewer needed to verify ALT3b (thank you for the variant BeanieFan11!). Tenpop421 (talk) 16:46, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- ALT3b is okay, but shouldn't it be American footballer? Given how there's no other indication that he's American, so without context readers might assume football of the association kind. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:06, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- ALT3c: ... that "Busy" Beasy was a boxer, professional American football player, and firefighter, all at the same time?
- @Narutolovehinata5: Okay for you? Tenpop421 (talk) 14:49, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
Yes that works. It's verified in the source. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:20, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
