I did some research into this expansion years ago for school (albeit not anywhere near this depth), so I'll bite at this review. -- Zanimum (talk) 20:58, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Okay, you cannot have two sections named References. Please try and find a combo, there's a variety of duos for sections like these.

Please deal with the citation need tag, which has been there since sometime last month.

Foundered is used correctly in the article, but it's much less common that floundered. I was frankly confused both times you used it, and I had to check a dictionary to make sure it wasn't a typo. Would you consider switching to floundered, or perhaps even a third word altogether? In all fairness, the two words are nearly tied in Google News results for Canada, but I just keep thinking it's something about the founder of the teams, or something.

Pictures check out.

Neutral site games

• "there would not be another meaningful CFL game in the United States": were there any meaningless games between 1967 and 1992?

Background

• Cleanup ref 27
• This reference has two outlet names... is one syndicating the other's article? "^ Hickey, Pat (November 11, 1987). "CFL May Be Beyond Rescuing". Montreal Gazette. Chicago Tribune. Retrieved January 2, 2014."

1992–1993

• Ref 38: Cleanup

1994

• Ref 45: cleanup
• Ref 46: Date of publication?

End game

• Ref 45: please fill out this reference with more than its title

Aftermath

• Ref 107: The court that ASC vs. Ryckman was tried in should be listed in the reference.
• While it's reasonably clear that this section's reference to a Smith is Larry Smith, please clarify, as this is the first Smith reference for a while
• Ref 111: "CANOE - SLAM! Sports - Wrestling - Wrestlemania 23 : Vince McMahon Q&A" --> "Wrestlemania 23 : Vince McMahon Q&A"; date, author?
• Ref 112, 113: The Globe and Maile?
• Jim Popp has remained GM of Montreal since the move from the US. Thing is, what if he retires tomorrow, and you aren't around to update the article. Perhaps, "As of 2014," he remains in the post, something along that line?

List of American CFL teams

• Bobcat Stadium has a superscript 1 after it. There's no note below the table-- what does the number refer to?

Post-expansion American media

• Ref 116 links to the same CBC article as ref 115.
• Ref 117: What date was this published?

More to come, but that's the majority of the article reviewed. -- Zanimum (talk) 20:19, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

All done except for one: in ref 30 the Tribune is reprinting the Montreal Gazette. What's the correct syntax to use in the ref such cases? Dontreadalone (talk) 04:31, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

I can't find anything on this issue, to weigh one way or another, so I'll let it go. Before submitting this article for FA, I'd suggest asking the question on the Help desk.

Anyway, checked the remaining bit of article that I hadn't in the first go round, and it's good, so congrats, GA! -- Zanimum (talk) 18:38, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
