Notes

• Added the Canadian football defensive lineman, Canadian football placekickers, and U Sports football cats
• I fixed his jersey numbers per PFA
• Where did you see he was a CFL West All Star in 1964. He isn't listed there at 1964 CFL season.
• "The Vancouver Sun reported in July 1958 that Pajaczkowski was "not far behind" teammate Harry Langford as the league's most outstanding guard. He was re-signed that year and played in every game" The signing happened before July, so how about "Pajaczkowski signed another contract extension in May 1958." Then put the July stuff after.
• "After playing in 14 games in 1959, Pajaczkowski was named the team's best lineman by a fan vote" Since we're including the team records for the prior years, I think we could add that they finished 8-8. That's notable for that season since he was named the teams best lineman and it's the first non-losing record mentioned in the article.
• Ref 2 says not available when I click on it. I was trying to double check the claim about the announcer.
• Also, should it say Wells was a radio announcer instead of just announcer
• "1495 yards" and "2845 yards" Add a comma after the 1 and the 2
• Should we include his 1962 kicking stats too? He had significant kicking time that year as well.
• "Pajaczkowski appeared in 16 games in 1960" Change to all 16 games since every season before said that.
• Add that they finished 7-9 in 1961. I think it's worth adding the record to the year he won the MOC.
• "The following year, Pajaczkowski was named for the first time of his career to the CFL All-Star team" Suggest changing to "The following year, Pajaczkowski was named to the CFL All-Star team for the first time in his career"
• In regards to the paragraph where he had 4 CFL All Stars in a row, is there anything else we can add to that? I know offensive lineman don't really have stats to talk about but do you know if anything interesting happened during those years?
• Also, we should probably add the team records at least somehow to that section because those four years were his first four winning seasons. And all that's in the article right now is losing seasons.
• Add his induction into the Stampeders Wall of Fame in 1996
• I found the below paragraph in ref 3. Should we add this info to the article?

"Pajaczkowski suffered from dementia in recent years. His wife Catherine plans to donate his brain to researchers studying the longterm effects of blows to the head."

• Do you think we should add his career totals (198 games, 9 fumble recoveries, kicking etc.)

That's all I think. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 04:10, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Status query

WikiOriginal-9, BeanieFan11, where does this nomination stand? It's been nearly two months since the review was posted, and I don't see that BeanieFan11 has made any edits at all despite literally thousands elsewhere in that period. If there still isn't any significant progress in the next couple of weeks, I'd like to suggest that the nomination be closed as unsuccessful. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

 Closed with the nominator BeanieFan11's permission. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:14, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

• ... that due to difficulty in pronouncing his name, one Canadian football announcer refused to mention Tony Pajaczkowski in game broadcasts for several years?

• Source: The Expositor / Albertan

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Gonzalo Brenes
• Comment: QPQ to be done within 24 hours.

Improved to Good Article status by BeanieFan11 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 269 past nominations.

Review: Missing QPQ. Minor issues with years in article (1955-1959) related to hook. Everything else passes. I tried using the template -- see source here -- but it isn't showing up, help? ProfGray (talk) 04:04, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:
• Other problems:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Update: all concerns addressed, this is good to go! Initial review: Minor disconnect with years, betw source and article: the hook finesses this, but the article still needs to be correct on this point, right? Not seeing a QPQ -- if done, please edit nomination, if not done, I can wait but others may have concern. Caution -- do not use the image in DYK (though image not nominated, which is fine).

• You had put the review inside of the text <!-- --> which results in it being hidden. I moved the review so its viewable. I already included a review; see the text above where it says Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Gonzalo Brenes – will look into the years issue soon. BeanieFan11 (talk) 04:12, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my mistake w template. QPQ -- this comes across as a bit confusing, you wrote in November that you'd do it in 24 hours but the QPQ had been done in September. Please ping me when you fix the years thing. Thanks! ProfGray (talk) 04:52, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

PS, you've done an amazing number of DYKs and GAs, wow. ProfGray (talk) 04:55, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

@ProfGray: Thanks – I changed the article to say it was in all of the Calgary game broadcasts over a period of three years to match the source. As for the QPQ, I probably should have just removed the "24 hours" part... I had initially planned to do one within 24 hours of the nom but then remembered I had a spare one. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:52, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Great, thanks for your responsiveness, I updated my review comments and this is ready to go! ProfGray (talk) 00:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
