I'll review this one. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:03, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Lead

• Burton F. "Burt" Gustafson
• After attending Northern Michigan University (NMU) where he was a three-sport star, he coached several high school football, basketball, and track and field teams before returning to NMU where he served from 1956 to 1961 as a coach in four sports. long sentence, consider splitting into two.

Early life and education

• Any reason for piping Newberry? I get not wanting to repeat Michigan, but Newberry isn't Chicago or something like that. Newberry could be far away.
• Be consistent with the Oxford comma. You use it in the lead but not in this section.

Coaching career

• This may be personal preference, but if you don't have a really controversial statement, I typically don't like having references in the middle of sentences. Just push them to the end of the sentence. Just a recommendation to make reading easier.
• ...also found time to attend the... a little too colloquial, just say it like it is ...also attended the...
• ...the University of Michigan, and earned... -> ...the University of Michigan, where he earned...
• ...basketball coach, but became varsity head coach... no need for the comma
• ...resigning to focus on track and football... be consistent with the use of "track and field" instead of just "track"
• NAIA should be written out and linked
• ...he was shifted to a front office role, after just one year as special teams coach. no need for the comma

Later life and death

• Again, Oxford comma here but not in previous section.
• In the 2010s, he was interviewed several times by Green Bay Packers historian Cliff Christl. this seems like a random sentence. Is there more context you can add, like why or what came out of the interviews?

References

• The "Notes" section should be in its own level-2 section. Then "References" can hold the citations and the "Citations" heading can be deleted. See George Whitney Calhoun for an example.
• References 3, 10, 13, 19, 20, 21 and 23 should have access-dates
• I archived links, btw
• Spot check: #10 looks good, #15 looks good, #21 looks good, and #23 looks good. Earwig brought up no issues.

Images

• N/A

Nice work! Putting on hold. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:26, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

• I think I've addressed all the issues, @Gonzo fan2007: - let me know if there's any other concerns. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:17, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
  • BeanieFan11, I added the interview sentence back in and expanded a bit. Sorry, I thought it was really good to include, it just needed some more. I also added in another Christl source, since I think it is a great article to provide additional reference. Looks good, passing! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:37, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
