James E. Sullivan Award

 * Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (talk) 16:23, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

From 4,960 bytes to 26,284 bytes in under 48 hours, every athlete is now independently referenced, there are alt-texted images, no dabs, no breaches of MOS (as far as I can see), I've even tried to use USEng (but I could have fouled that up, feel free to correct me). I humbly submit this to the community. As always, thanks for your time and energy in reviewing this list (and all the others), and I'll do my best to address each and every concern as soon as I possibly can. Cheers folks!

 * "'the outstanding amateur athlete in the United States'" - is "the" really a necessary part of the quote here? Might just be me but it makes it seem over-emphasized, rather like "the outstanding amateur athlete". I might suggest a change to "an 'outstanding amateur athlete in the United States'".
 * I guess. It's probably a matter of a taste, and the quotation is directly from the award website.  I may leave it for the time being and see if anyone else has issues with it, if that's alright?  For what it's worth, I think the emphasis is intentional... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:34, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Certainly acceptable to me. I'll leave this comment uncapped so other reviewers are aware of it, but will consider it as ineffective toward my support. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 17:52, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * In the last sentence, I would move "only" to before "one occasion", the phrase it is intended to modify.

 * Gah, TRM, you devil! I can't find anything about which to quibble, and you know how I just hate that when it comes to your lists. Next time, I'll try to get here earlier and wreck  rewrite get my suggested improvements in first. So, through gritted teeth my friend, support. BencherliteTalk 15:16, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
