replies: text: , I know it has been a while, but I have finally gotten around to this article. I want to get through the final push to get it to WP:GA. Are you still interested in collaborating? If so, one of the biggest helps would be adding links to the current references that don't have them. I have added Newspapers.com links to almost all of the refs you added years ago, but right now I can't find links for refs #4, #27, #29, #33, and #48. If these can't be found, I may try to replace them with other sources. Let me know! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  15:51, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: , awesome! Feel free to add to the todo list below. I've done a good amount to it the last week, but mostly focused on sourcing, photos, and formatting. Probably could use a good read through and fresh eyes! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  23:52, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

text: , I went ahead and nominated the article for GA. I will add a note that you are co-nominating the article. If you have time to copyedit/review the article, that would be great. Cheers, « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  17:48, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Will do.  Wrapping up another project and will then turn my attention to Mr. Mann. Cbl62 (talk) 18:57, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , everything is looking real good! Thanks for all your edits. I think if GA review goes well, we could have a good chance of getting it through WP:FAC, if you would be interested. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  21:50, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree.  Sorry it took me so long to get around to this. Cbl62 (talk) 22:06, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem, WP:GAN takes so long these days I figured you would have plenty of time to jump on it. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  22:08, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Some areas of concern remain. First, we have nothing about the 15-year period from 1955-1969. Second, he was a prominent criminal defense attorney for 35 year (handling high-profile cases including the defense of Coleman Young's brother-in-law), yet we only have a couple sentences about his legal career.  It would be good to beef up this area. Cbl62 (talk) 22:09, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good. I'll start searching. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  22:16, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Collaboration

message: , per WP:BRD, I reverted your addition of  yesterday. You reverted my revert, so I returned it to the status quo and now am bringing it to the talk page to discuss. I don't want to edit war over an external link template. That said, I have been working on this article for a while and have it nominated with Cbl62 at WP:GAN. I feel like this is an editorial decision that can be made by those that have been improving the article and bringing it through an editorial process. There is no requirement that the template has to be used on every football page, and quite frankly I don't find it that useful, especially when PFR and NFL are linked throughout the article and in the infobox. I'm not going to go around actively removing the template from articles you edit, so mutually, I would prefer you leave it be when editors who are working on an article remove the template. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  21:54, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: This isn't a Bob Mann-specific issue. It affect thousands of articles, so I will bring it up at WikiProject National Football League. Jweiss11 (talk) 21:56, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , happy to defer to consensus at WP:NFL. Cheers, « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  22:03, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

message: Okay then, some thoughts:
* try and avoid one-sentence paragraphs (e.g. bottom line in lead). See if you can either embellish them or tack them onto another paragraph.
**Combined a few short paragraphs. Everything else is either long enough or is shorter because that is all that is available to be said. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  16:19, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: , any idea on the high school question above? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  18:41, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hmmm ... not sure about the reason for that discrepancy but can run some searches. Cbl62 (talk) 23:29, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , any ideas? I don't mind running through the sources on the high school, but I wanted to see if something came to mind before I did that. Let me know. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  22:02, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
