[edit] Halfback

Nile Kinnick was a halfback, so I removed the Category link.

[edit] Ironmen Nickname

I have to find the source for the Ironmen name but as I understand it, there was one game in which only 13 players were healthy enough to play and 8 of those 13 played the entire game.

[edit] Neutral Point of View

"a lasting tribute to Iowa’s greatest football player" is an opinion so I changed.

Same to the end of the last paragraph "...in lasting tribute", as well as the comments as to how many people are aware of the various memorials to Kinnick. Attributations of the coin thing is also necessary. --Eirishis 22:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA status

This nomination is on hold for 7 days for these reasons: expand the lead to cover the scope of the article, add a persondata box above the categories (not required, but suggested See Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell for a sample]], and provide footnotes for the unquoted sections.Rlevse 10:31, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
