  • I think this is filed erroneously under Feb 17 noms, as this was promoted on Feb 18. Regardless, the nomination is within the grace period and accepted without concern. The GA promotion is good, with no issues regarding plagiarism and images. The hook is cited and sourced, but I worry that it is not particularly interesting. Perhaps borrow some of the enthusiastic quotations from the article to help jazz this up? Other than that, get the QPQ done and we're good! ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:35, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
    • Added QPQ. Will look to develop alt hooks tomorrow. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:32, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
  • A bunch of potential options – just throwing out everything that struck me as a possibility:
    • ALT1 ... that Tommy Cronin didn't "know what 'quit' means"?
    • ALT2 ... that Tommy Cronin, one of "the classiest basketball players who ever donned a high school uniform," played in the NFL?
    • ALT3 ... that Tommy Cronin was described as having "made a name for himself" in the NFL, yet did not play in more than five games?
    • ALT4 ... that Tommy Cronin was the last person from his high school to play in the NFL – in 1922? or ALT5 ... that Tommy Cronin was the last person from his school to play in the NFL – in 1922?
    • ALT6 ... that Tommy Cronin played both basketball and football in high school, college, and professionally?
  • Do any of those sound good? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:03, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
