GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it well written?
 * A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
 * Journalism career section:
 * 'After college, Lea got a job" suggest some other language than got?
 * Revised. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 16:24, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "In 1953, the he joined"
 * Fixed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 16:24, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "reoccurring"" not a word
 * Fixed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 16:24, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "team's 1–10–1 record in the 1959" extra word?
 * Fixed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 16:24, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * There seems to be too many uses of "Lea" (44) - suggest substituting he in some places.
 * I removed some. I am only counting 23, with 2 in the lead, 1 in the first section, 14 in the second and 2 in the last. Note a few of these instances are essential (his name in the first sentence, the Bud Lea Award (proper noun) and always starting with "Lea" at the beginning of each section). « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 16:24, 13 May 2024 (UTC)


 * B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
 * 1) Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
 * A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
 * B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
 * comment: Unsure about citation one which is a funeral home obit. Can it be replaced with RS?
 * I got it down to citing only 3 things, none of which are controversial: his actual birthdate (literally no other source mentions this, the closest being one source stating the year he was born in); an anecdote from his college days about going into journalism; and that he was a selector for various hall of fames. Again, reading the essay WP:OBITUARIES and just a general understanding of WP:RS, I think this is fine. Let me know what you think. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 16:24, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes we know for sure that he was born in 1928 The date is not contentious, - I will be in the area, so I will go to St. Mary of the Hill Cemetery to see where he is buried and then I can take a snapshot of his headstone. Lightburst (talk) 17:19, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Images that have been uploaded. His birthday. I will add an image of the headstone and you may either remove it or change it if you like. Lightburst (talk) 20:45, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Awesome! Great addition, thank you! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 22:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
