A fact from R. Ames Montgomery appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 March 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

... that R. Ames Montgomery(pictured) resigned as president of Centre College after students petitioned to remove him for de-emphasizing football? Source: Weston, Centre College: a Bicentennial History (2019), p. 79
"...who signed a petition to remove him from office. He resigned in June 1926..." was the resignation a result of the petition, or an unrelated retirement? That should be clarified just a bit in the lede
Would a split of the Career section be warranted? Perhaps with a subsection on Early Career and his career at Centre, since those seem to be the two major eras
"He was in St. Louis on June 5, 1917" this seems like a strange way to set up the sentence. I think just stating something like: "He was elected president of Parsons College on June 5, 1917, in St. Louis..."
"This came just weeks after Parsons received a large gift of $10,000 () from the Fairfield Retail Merchants Association" Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not making the connection here
Totally not at all required, but I noticed that the article on the Harvard game is an FA, but doesn't mention the impact on Centre University or Montgomery's changes at all. Might be worth it to include those details if you get a chance!
Hey, I wrote that! Probably the article I'm most proud of and my favorite FA. Good idea to include that - I'll see if I can do so when I get some more time soon! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 04:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
The sentence starting "A new playing facility on campus..." should just be split, it is quite unwieldy
I made a few very minor changes, please look at them to double check I didn't introduce any issues
Overall, the prose is very well constructed. I have no issues with the breadth or composition of the article, and once the few nitpicks above are resolved the prose will be in excellent shape.
Referencing
Ref 1 should probably be placed at the end of the sentence
General referencing formatting is excellent; the newpaper.com clippings will make it very easy to do spot checks, so thank you
Refs 15, 17, 21 (though it isn't explicitly said, the info can be easily inferred from the newspaper date), 33 (I love small-town drama), and 38 all verified with no source-text integrity issues.
Overall, a fantastic article! Just a few small fixes and it should be good to get the green plus. Drop me a ping once you've finished so I can do a final sweep and promotion. Fritzmann (message me) 10:04, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
