Robb in college

• ... that Stan Robb (pictured) played professional football for the team his brother coached? Source: played for '26 Canton Bulldogs - Harry Robb coached them that year -this verifies them as brothers - I could probably find a newspaper source if you prefer something other than PFR

5x expanded by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:43, 17 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Stan Robb; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Confirmed 5x expansion on an existing article within the standard DYK time frame. Article is well sourced via Newspapers.com citations, all paragraphs cited and nothing appearing to be uncited. Hook fact is interesting enough and cited inline in the text. Image is PD and good enough to use at that size. QPQ is not yet provided and I'm sure will come soon @BeanieFan11:. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:22, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

I really like the images; they are a nice way of illustrating an article. On hold; over to you! ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 17:15, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Copyvio check

Good to go. The newspaper extract from Canton Daily News is PD.

File(s)

All files are relevant and have a valid public domain rationale on Commoms.

Prose

• The lead could be greatly expended; it should summarise some more in-depth aspects of his career.
• In § Early life and education, I would lead with his full name as its his first mention in the body.
• "Robb also attended for a time Mercersburg Academy." – should for a time not come after the Academy?
• "Around 1917, he registered for World War I" – change to "Around 1917, he enlisted in World War I."
• "with one newspaper writing" – in this context I would name the publication.
• The last paragraph of the first section reads strangely to me. Could some elaboration perhaps be given on ""fame""?
• "Robb had tackled a Hartford player, and Nichols" – is the comma necessary here?
• "He registered for World War II in February 1942." – enlisted in like above.

Refs

Passes spotcheck on refs 5, 10, 15, 23 and 28. Was able to confirm 5 and 28 via Ancestry.com.

Others

• Short description should go at the very top.
• Recommend adding template:use X English if applicable.
• @LunaEatsTuna: I believe I've addressed all of the issues; let me know if I missed anything or if there's anything else you'd like done. Thanks. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:01, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

• Nope, looks good! I really love what you did with the lead. Pass. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 23:13, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
