   Pass/Fail:

High school career

• Wikilink Loyola High School
• I know what MVP means, but spell it out in full for non-sports experts

College career

• Spell out the CIAU's full name and place the acronym in parentheses in the first mention
• Same for OUA
• "Aidoo described the 26–7 lost against the Manitoba Bisons as" - loss
• "McMaster athletic hall of fame" - The first letters of each remaining word should be captialized
• "CIAU offensive player of the week" - ditto

Professional career

• The CFL should be spelt out in full and the acroynms in parentheses
• Wikilink 2003 CFL draft and Edmonton Eskimos

Winnipeg Blue Bombers

• "Aidoo was signed by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in October 2013" - don't you mean October 2003?
• Who is Tom Europe?

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

• Link Ottawa Citizen and Hamilton Spectator and italize both since they are newspapers
• "newcomer Les Mullings competed with Aidoo to become backup running backup." - I don't understand the text I've bolded. Please clarify.
• "Head coach Greg Marshall was released prior to the 2007 season after two disappointing seasons," - repititon of the word seasons

References

• No dead links due to all sources being offline

On hold until issues are resolved. MWright96 (talk) 07:06, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

I've done a lot of what needed to be done, however the only mentions I could find of the Hamliton Spectator were in the references. CrashUnderride 07:36, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

All points have been actioned and I can happily promote this to GA. MWright96 (talk) 16:39, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Just as a note @Crash Underride: Apparently, The Hamilton Spectator usually provides their name with the "The" included. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 17:07, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Also, please fix these: Help:CS1 errors#accessdate missing url. Print source cites don't need and should not use an access-date. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:25, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

@Finnusertop: I haven't accessed them as print sources; I accessed them through an online database, but if I were to provide a URL, it wouldn't work for anyone but the students at my university. Should I still remove the access dates? ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 17:27, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

I see, I've ran into that problem sometime as well. I'd rather not include the access-dates without urls since it produces that cs1 error. Per Template:Cite web/doc you could say these are stable sources so an access-date is not needed. The other option that comes to mind is to link to the main page of the online database you have used and keep the access-dates. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:33, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

I can't believe when it Ctrl + F to find The Hamilton Spectator it didn't show up. Hmm...well, I'm glad to have helped. CrashUnderride 21:31, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
