a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
Any information on his personal life at all? And a bit more on his teaching career would be good, if possible.

It is stable.
No edit wars etc.: 

It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

Infobox?  Y Cbl62 (talk) 04:32, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
This will be a new one for you, but need publisher information on the websites. And last access date.  Y Cbl62 (talk) 04:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Where was he born? I see a birth date, but it isn't mentioned in the main text.
His obituary (fn. 1) says he was 79 years old when he died in Aug. 1964.  Accordingly, his birth year is an approximation.  Despite checking numerous sources, I was unable to find either place of birth or precise date of birth.  Cbl62 (talk) 04:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Year of birth verified in this tribute article. http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0026-2234(196411)63%3A1%3C1%3AIMRWA1%3E2.0.CO%3B2-S Cbl62 (talk) 04:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
There is a bunch of information in the lede that isn't in the main text. Lede should summarize the article, not put out information not contained in the article (specifically the chairman of the Michigan Facult Board in Control of Athletics which really needs to be down in the Return to the Big Ten Conference section to make that section make any sense).  Y Cbl62 (talk) 04:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
need a citation on "no intention of being fair and accurate" in the third paragraph of the Spokesman section.
A LOT of paragraphs start with "In (date)..."... Three in Spokesmen section, four in Hiring...consider rewording to eliminate the redundancies. Y - Eliminated all but one.  Cbl62 (talk) 04:25, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
What are the **** standing for in the quote in the fourth paragraph of the Spokesman section?
The surviving edition of the Capital Times quoted from is partially illegible.  I included the three asterisks to indicate that there is a missing word in the text.  Rather than guess at the word (probably "create"), I thought the asterisks were the best way to handle.  If there's another, preferred way, let me know.  Cbl62 (talk) 04:17, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Need a citation for the "The evidence before the Conference..." quotation in the fifth paragraph of the Spokesman section. Y Cbl62 (talk) 04:12, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Same for the "while its expenses were ..." quote in the sixth paragraph of that section.  Y Cbl62 (talk) 04:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
First sentence of the first paragraph of the Hiring section is awkward, consider rewording the last phrase. Y - It was awkwardly phrased.  I think I've fixed it now.  Cbl62 (talk) 04:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Citation needed for the "all freeman athletes at ..." quote in the second paragraph of the Hiring section Y Cbl62 (talk) 04:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Did he ever marry? Children? A bit more on his law teaching career probably would not hurt either.
Neither his obituary, nor any of the references that are biographical in nature, say anything about Aigler's having married or had kids.  Likely inference is that he did not marry, but none of the articles expressly say that either.  I agree more information on his academic career would be good, but unfortunately the lives of law professors don't draw as much attention as athletics.  As a result, most of the articles concerning Aigler's life relate to his involvement with University of Michigan athletics.  I did include a citation to a complete list of Aigler's legal publications, but did not feel a review of the subject of those academic articles on property law and other legal topics would be helpful in a biographical article on Aigler, rather than an article on property law.

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

What's the status on this? I'm heading out of town shortly and would like to know what I need to keep up with. Ealdgyth - Talk 02:48, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Passing it now. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:12, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
