7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Added some cats.
• "In 1896, Archiquette made his first varsity sports team" Link varsity?
  • Linked.
• "He was a member of Pop Warner's 9–2 football team" change to "head coach Pop Warner's"
  • Changed.
• "He graduated from Carlisle in 1899 and departed the school on March 6, 1899" What's that mean?
  • I'm assuming the source means he left the school on that date, but I cut the 'departed' part - see below.
• How did he play football at Carlisle in 1899 if he graduated in 1899 and departed in March? Was football in the spring?
  • I ... don't know. Football was in the fall still, although the eligibility rules were real fuzzy at the time (see the part there was no governing organization at the time, and thus no eligibility limits as there are in modern times) – if I remember right, I think there was a part of the ref two book cited that mentioned sometimes people who were not actively attending Indian schools were still able to play for the athletic teams because of how disorganized the eligibility enforcement was. Thoughts?
• "James Naismith, the founder of the sport, once cited Archiquette as one of his favorite guards." I don't think the source actually says that.
  • It says If Louis Weller was Naismith's archetypal offensive player, Archiquette was his defensive counterpart ... to Naismith they were as the sun and the moon, two basketball luminaries who dominated their spheres. 'How well I remember his superb guarding!' Naismith wrote. 'To me this player, named Archiquette, had embodied all the requirements for a perfect guard.' – maybe change it to 'James Naismith, the founder of the sport, once cited Archiquette as one of his favorite defensive players'? Thoughts?
    • Actually upon reading that, let's just leave it how it is. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:31, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
• "After leaving Haskell in 1905, he joined Green's Nebraska Indians, an all-star barnstorming team," Were they a football team or baseball? The prior sentences were about baseball.
  • Clarified baseball.
• "He also umpired some of Haskell's football games after he college playing career ended" Change he to his.
  • Changed.

I think that's all. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 12:13, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
