 * Comment It might not be a bad idea to maybe mention how the Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest, and were counter-protested by 3,000 students. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 23:57, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added a mention of this to the article. Sources say 1500+, so that's what I said. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:24, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was the right one, as I should not have listened to my friends who were there. In terms of where the church protested, they were actually about a quarter of a mile away from all of this, in a field, but that probably wouldn't warrant any mention here.

 * Symbol question.svg Hook fact doesn't seem to have an inline citation - it's in the lead but doesn't have a ref. Perhaps the fact should be stated more explicitly (with a ref) in the personal section? 97198 (talk) 15:08, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * You are right, it lacked an inline citation in the body. I've edited it so that it is now properly cited to the ESPN article. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:47, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Great, thanks. Date, length and hook ref check out; well-referenced; no apparent close paraphrasing; QPQ done. 97198 (talk) 03:06, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
