   Pass/Fail:

• Lead is a little short. Honestly, I'm not really sure what to tell you to add though, the article isn't too big but this guy is pretty obscure. You have probably included everything there is out to to find about him, you usually do.
  • Tried expanding a bit to talk about his OSU career.
• Remove those refs from the lead.
  • Done.
• Cite full name in body.
  • Done.
• Added categories: People from Perry County, Ohio, Track and field athletes from Ohio, Ohio State Buckeyes men's track and field athletes, Ohio State Buckeyes track and field coaches, United States Army Corps of Engineers personnel, American military personnel of World War II.
• "became friends with Carl Cooke" Who is that?
  • Gave context.
• "track team captain" link team captain.
  • Linked.
• "Wikoff was named to the school's track and field All-Century team" add "in 2002"
  • Added.
• "runs at full speed, stopping only to deliver his papers" This isn't a correction, just wanted to note that the mental image of him running at full speed to deliver papers is funny.
  • lol.
• "In June of that year" What year?
  • Clarified.
• "His friend Carl Cooke was also selected" change to just Cooke. Already mentioned they were friends earlier.
  • Changed.
• "Ohio State varsity athletes" link varsity.
  • Linked.
• "third heat" I assume there's a link for heat?
  • This also came up at Negussie Roba: [you:] "last in his heat" Is there a link for that? – [me:] Hmmm... I can't find one – thoughts? – [you:] I don't see anything for heat either. Hopefully someone creates Glossary of track and field terms.
• Shame Mikhail Nikolsky was moved to draftspace.
• "Ohio State cross country team" link "cross country"
  • Linked.
• "rater at an insurance company" What's rater.
  • I don't know what that is either so I changed it to just say he worked for an insurance company.

I think that's everything. Excellent research on this guy. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 14:00, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
