 * Symbol question.svg Article's prose has been extended five fold, within the last seven days (two days ago, as of this statement), and is long enough. Formatting is well done, content is interesting and the first source is suffice, though I recommend adding it to the mention of 'flying wing' in the introduction (using is helpful), however I suggest the term "flying wing" be linked to 'History of American Football Positions#Early Canadian football' (as shown) to add clarity.

 * I did not wikilink "flying wing" in the hook because the article History of American football positions has maintenance tags at the top. It is generally frowned upon to link something on the main page that has tags on the top. The position is however linked from Quilty's article. Do you have any other concerns?

 * Also, I did not put any citations in the introduction as per MOS:CITE. It is cited in the body instead. Flibirigit (talk) 00:59, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Since HeyJude70 hasn't edited in weeks, I'll be taking over this nomination. While flying wing has its own article problems, I'm not really sure if not linking to it is really worth it. Perhaps a link to Canadian football positions would be a better alternative in this case? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:13, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * , I am indifferent as to which article is linked to if needed. Either the History of American football positions section link (Flying wing) or the Canadian football article could be used. Unfortunately there is no History of Canadian football positions article, since it is merged with the American football positions. Flibirigit (talk) 15:59, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The first link (American football positions) might be a good idea actually. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:27, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, are there any other issues? Flibirigit (talk) 01:33, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I don't really see any more problems; the original reviewer's concerns appear to have been addressed and I don't have any of my own. This should be good to go both with the hook and the date request. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:20, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
