Jack Tatum was one of the Sports and recreation good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The promo pic tag on the main picture is inappropriate - the photo is a commercial product, not a promotional picture. The second picture seems a little dodgy in its fair use claim - how is this any different from recycling the content taken straight from a new site to illustrate articles, for instance? The fact that no specific fair use template is available ought to be ringing alarm bells. However, the article is well-referenced and well-structured, which is a very good start.

I've failed the article again, mostly because it fails two criteria for GA:
Overall, the article is almost good, but is still missing a little bit. Tito xd( ?!? - help us) 01:34, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
I fixed the college section some, and I added as much infomation about the Stingley controversy in the article. I don't get the almost seems whitewashed Part. I think it's good now. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 17:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Did this article actually pass the GA review? or did someone just add the GA tag? Isn't the reviewer supposed to add another section which confirms GA status? -- ShadowJester07 23:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
From the article: "Stingley later forgave Tatum and died on April the 5th, 2007."
According to Stingley's article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darryl_Stingley) and sources ( http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/2007-04-05-stingley-obit_N.htm and http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-tatum040607&prov=yhoo&type=lgns) there was never any reconciliation between the two men. Is there another source that can verify that Tatum was "forgiven" before Stingley's death? Josh McCartt 19:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Darryl Stingley: Ex-Football Star Tells Why He Has Forgiven Football Player Who Left Him Paralyzed, Jet Magazine, Clarence Waldron, June 8, 1992, pages 34-37.
Summary: in the article (1992), Darryl does say he forgave Jack long time ago. He also said he thought Jack had some issues, Jack had had plenty of opportunities to contact him. So, it's complicated, as I'm sure it is. FriendlyRiverOtter ( talk) 22:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Furthermore: Darryl Stingley, paralyzed by Tatum hit, dies at 55, Associated Press, ESPN, April 5, 2007.
" . . Tatum and Stingley never reconciled. In 1996, they were supposed to meet for a TV appearance, but Stingley called it off after being told it was to publicize Tatum's book. . "
So, it complicated. Of course it is. How could something like this not be complicated. FriendlyRiverOtter ( talk) 22:30, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
This article presents a very sanitized version of the incident. They didn't "collide." Tatum hit Stingley. "Collide" makes it sound like they ran into each other. The hit wasn't awkward because Stingley lowered his head. Tatum, by his own admission at the time, saw that he had no play and was going for a big, damaging, intimidating hit - which was legal and common at the time, but still, that hit didn't happen by accident. I'm not changing the text of the article, because whoever wrote it will just change it back. But let's be real. Not saying Tatum was trying to paralyze the guy, but it's dead wrong to try and suggest that they just ran into each other awkwardly. Tatum lined up a defenseless, fully extended receiver in an exhibition game and intentionally blasted him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.4.62.221 ( talk) 17:21, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
"In one of the most lasting images from Super Bowl XI, Tatum knocked the helmet off Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Sammy White." Can we get a copy of the image to use here? 128.138.131.244 ( talk) 21:41, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
After re-reading everything, I am going to speedy delist this, here's why:
