Hi, I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAGUAR  19:05, 24 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Checking against the GA criteria

edit
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
    The lead needs to expanded slightly to comply per WP:LEAD. Or you could merge the two paragraphs into one (if you have trouble expanding), but a small expansion is required in order for it to summarise the article.   Done
    "Nashville Banner sportswriter, and Vanderbilt alumnus, Fred Russell described Cody" - unnecessary comma in between "sportswriter" and "and"   Done
    "At 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m), and 225 pounds (102 kg), a mammoth size in his day" - informal   Done
    The sections 1916, World War I and 1919 are too short and could easily be merged to create a "1916 to 1919" section   Done
    " Former Georgia Tech running back Everett Strupper was an assistant coach." - unsourced   Done
    "Cody's first year as an assistant on the football team in 1923 saw the last conference title for Vanderbilt in the sport to date. In 1926, the football team lost only to Wade's Alabama." - needs a citation   Done
    There are several harvref errors in the references section   Done
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    No original research found.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  

I'll leave this on hold until all of the issues are addressed. To summarise, a couple of claims need citations, the lead needs a small expansion and there are some harvref errors which need fixing. Once all of those have cleared up this should pass!   JAGUAR  17:13, 25 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
