Automated cleanup
, I reverted your script-assisted cleanup when merging changes into this article. I've held off mentioning this for a few days because I had more sources to add and sources to update. Feel free to run the script again. Regards, Rjjiii (talk) 05:59, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Pre-FAC review
That's everything. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:29, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The first sentence of the lead is long and complex. I can see it would be hard to shoe-horn in the fact that he had African-American heritage; mentioning it in the second sentence is OK.  Could we add the year of Loyola's first championship, though?  And do we need to include the parenthesis given that we also have "then-segregated"?
 * Can we add a sentence or two about his later life and death to the lead?
 * Do we know when the family moved from New Roads to New Orleans?
 * When was he in the navy? Since it appears this was during wartime it would be interesting to know anything about his postings, if that's available.
 * In the early life section, can we give the years of Holy Cross's consecutive state titles?
 * I assume he was still passing as white when he was in the navy?
 * 'an experience the family described as "being run out of town"': as far as I can see this is attributed only to Leroy's father, so I think this should be rephrased. That would be easier if we had given Leroy's parents' names in the early life section -- do we know them?
 * "Their 55–45 win over Baylor": the most recent sentence subject was Loyola, so I would suggest making this "Canisius's 55–45 win".
 * I assume Leroy graduated from Canisius in 1948, though the article doesn't explicitly say so. Do we know anything about the time between his graduation and signing for the 1949-50 NBA season?
 * Any reason Hannum is linked in the block quote when he's already linked just above?
 * The article says September 1952 was during his third season, but since the 1951–52 NBA season was over well before then, it was either his fourth season or he missed a full season.
