# Talk:1940 NFL All-Star Game (January)

RoySmith, I'm having a hard time finding why this was pulled? Valereee (talk) 16:23, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

@Valereee: The relevant discussion is here - it boils down to a debate about whether saying the entire Green Bay Packers team was "selected" for the all-star game was misleading or not, since the team's players earned their place in the game by virtue of being the previous season's champions, not by being chosen individually, as all-star teams usually are. The ALT2 hook was a compromise that was suggested in that thread and approved here after the hook was pulled. Hope that helps. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 16:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
@DrOrinScrivello, thank you, that answers my question! Valereee (talk) 16:52, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I'll give this a review sometime in the next few days. Wizardman 02:28, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
Source/image review: Both images look good and fit in the article. I wasn't sold on the Los Angeles Daily news pieces being public domain until I learned of a second one that folded in the 1950s (which is what the pic is from), so there would've been no one to renew any of the copyrights so those are okay. All of the sources are reliable and seem to fit the article as well. Prose review to follow. Wizardman 19:13, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Here's the prose issues I found:

"Ernie Smith kicked another field, his second of the game," missing goal, but I just fixed it myself.
Maybe I'm just nitpicking, but is there a reason the starters and reserves tables are in two different formats?
After two read-throughs that was all I found. The table thing is minor enough that I don't see a reason to put this on hold, so as a result I'm going to pass the article. Wizardman 19:21, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
