thread_title:  additional sources 

message: The article states, "Johnson is a member of The Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C. National Intercollegiate All-American Football Players Honor Roll."
This is odd, as Rafer Johnson never played football at UCLA. He ran track and played basketball.
Do we have a source on if he is a member of this honor roll, and, for curiosity's sake, does anyone know why he was inducted if he never played the game collegiately?

thread_title:  Question about "Intercollegiate All-American Football Players Honor Roll" 

message: I read some articles and they don’t say that he died from complications of a stroke. Instead, they just say no cause of death was announced.
This is the only one that says stroke:

thread_title:  Cause of death 

message: In this article 1934 is given as Rafer's year of birth. On other language versions 1935 is given, which to me looks correct. See this identity card on the Familysearch site: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-G5YW-VD8?i=127&cc=1932363&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AK8HB-FMZ --Maarten1963 (talk) 22:19, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia can do the same, and I have done so. Reliable sources have reported the family has stated the "1935" birth date is erroneous, and so we can cite that directly. Otherwise, we could state that sources differ, but can't declare which date is "correct" without performing original research. --Animalparty! (talk) 02:47, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Date of birth 

message: Since the "Filmography" does not list all his acting jobs & etc., shouldn't the section title be either "Partial filmography" or "Select filmography" in order for it to be factual and accurate?
Otherwise, any reader will be misled into thinking that he had an extremely limited acting career - - - and that is simply not the case. 
And why no "External link" to IMDb?
