A fact from Bud Lea appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 April 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that even though he read the articles of
sportswriterBud Lea "religiously",
Vince Lombardi often made his job difficult whenever he interviewed him?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
the article was moved to main March 19, it is 4851 characters and it was nominated the same day so it qualifies for DYK. The article is neutral and has the correct inline citations. Two QPQs have been completed to assist with the backlog. The hook is interesting to an audience that knows American Football and might have enough to interest other readers. The hook is cited in the article at the end of the sentence. For promotors, the second part of the hook is supported by "Lea noted that Lombardi was the most challenging person he covered, often providing short answers or not answering at all" in the article. I do not find evidence of plagiarism and the article has a free pic of Bud Lea which could be used if a promotor wanted to use it.

There seems to be too many uses of "Lea" (44) - suggest substituting he in some places.
I removed some. I am only counting 23, with 2 in the lead, 1 in the first section, 14 in the second and 2 in the last. Note a few of these instances are essential (his name in the first sentence, the Bud Lea Award (proper noun) and always starting with "Lea" at the beginning of each section). « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 16:24, 13 May 2024 (UTC)reply
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
the layout style guideline:
B.
Reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
comment: Unsure about citation one which is a funeral home obit. Can it be replaced with RS?
I got it down to citing only 3 things, none of which are controversial: his actual birthdate (literally no other source mentions this, the closest being one source stating the year he was born in); an anecdote from his college days about going into journalism; and that he was a selector for various hall of fames. Again, reading the essay
WP:OBITUARIES and just a general understanding of
WP:RS, I think this is fine. Let me know what you think. « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 16:24, 13 May 2024 (UTC)reply
Yes we know for sure that he was
born in 1928 The date is not contentious, - I will be in the area, so I will go to St. Mary of the Hill Cemetery to see where he is buried and then I can take a snapshot of his headstone.
