[edit] Family query

I stumbled upon someone who may be his grandson at http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/highschool/story/162311.html?imw=Y . A subsquent google search for the term Doug Rifenburg football Buffalo yielded a link to http://www.ubathletics.buffalo.edu/football/stats/fbrecordbook.pdf, which may have another Rifenburg I have not yet found. That link had the following Google preview clip: Buffalo’s last season in “Big Time”football for over 20 years. ...... Doug Rifenburg. P.J. Riga ______ 1990. Leroy Riley_________1960-61 ...

Another Rifenburg approximately the same age as the one above played football for Santa Clara: http://www.letthemplay.com/roster-a92.htm .--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 15:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

More family info citation requests: born to Dorothy Marie Shannon-Rifenburg and Paul Almond Rifenburg, and Also surviving thier brother Dick is Gerald Thomas Rifenburg of Williamsville NY and Toni Sue Rifenburg-Walker of Flagler Beach Florida. Seem believable. Is this sourced or coming from a family member?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 00:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article Assessment

This is my assessment of the (current revision) article. Below the assessment are some tips that will help the page even further.

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   a (fair representation): b (all significant views):

5. It is stable.

   (No edit wars etc.)

6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.

   a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):

7. Overall:

   a Pass/Fail:

Further analysis:

• Image used is appropriately captioned and has no copyright violation etc. outstanding on or in it's history. Y
• References are various, well placed (i.e used appropriately and compliant with MOS) and are reliable. Y
• Hardly any grammar, spelling mistakes.Y
• Only one issue I can bring up:
  • In the lead it mentions that WBEN is now known as WIVB, and then again in the professional career section. Is this necessary, the link used is already a redirect and it's already mentioned in the lead. So that might need to be removed. N
    • Y--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 05:15, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

But apart from that, I see nothing wrong with this article and am willing to pass this article. Well done to the editors involved. It's a very good article. — Rudget _{contributions} 20:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
