 * Do we have a source for his nickname of Blockie?
 * I've removed it on multiple occasions, but keeps adding it back in.
 * A search does show some instances of that nickname being used. I'm not sure whether those are considered reliable sources by the golf project?
 * Added.
 * Based on the source, it was literally the highest finish for decades in this event (not just one of the best). This could be expanded on a bit in the main article, where it currently isn't mentioned.
 * Edited the lead and expanded in body.
 * The term "club professional" could do with an explanatory note.
 * Done.
 * Anything on the first round? We have notes from the second, third and fourth. Even just a brief "After shooting par on the first day..." so where know where he's at entering day two.
 * Done.
 * Was he returning to The American Express specifically, or more generally to the PGA Tour?
 * I am unsure. This was changed by after I added it a few days ago.
 * Based on the source, it looks like he was returning to the tour. Possible rephrasing: "Block nevertheless secured a place in another PGA Tour event when he qualified for The American Express." Something like that, to clarify.
 * Done.
 * Maybe mention that he had previously missed the cut at the PGA Championship four times out of four.
 * Done.
 * Perhaps put a quote from Block on his PGA Championship performance in general (or the hole in one specifically) as it's his career highlight?
 * I don't think that would be encyclopedic, but I can if you really want.
 * No need—I don't know of any firm rules on the usage of quotes.
 * There's a few issues with the citations. Sometimes these don't work for me due to me living in the UK; if they look fine to you then no problem.
 * I also live in the UK, and am getting the same results for citations 2, 4, and 6; as the non-archived versions work, I have added parameters to the citations.
 * Citation 2: The archived version isn't loading for me (the current version is fine).
 * Citation 4: Same as citation 2.
 * Citation 6: Same as citation 2.
 * Citation 8: I can't see anything about Block in the current version or the archived one.
 * I can't find it either (I suspect the school posted something that has now been removed) so I have removed the citation.
 * Citation 13: This looks to be out of date, now leading to a menu page.
 * I have added an archive link, which should work. &#126;~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:30, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
