Images all have captions where needed. Also none of them need fair use rationals. History6042😊 (Contact me) 02:41, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

There is no edit warring. History6042😊 (Contact me) 02:43, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Article also doesn't seem objectionably biased. History6042😊 (Contact me) 02:46, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

The article has the right level of detial, not too much, not too little for what I would except in a game article. History6042😊 (Contact me) 02:56, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

I'll choose 5 random sources to spotcheck, 2, 14, 4, 7, and 25. History6042😊 (Contact me) 02:58, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

2 passes. History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:00, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

14 does provide an example about analasys being mostly near the end. History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:01, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

4 passes. History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:03, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

7 passes. History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:04, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

25 passes as does the whole spotcheck. History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:05, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Earwig finds no issues. History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:06, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

I fixed all grammar issues myself. This is a very good article and I will pass it. History6042😊 (Contact me) 03:15, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

• This article, promoted to GA on 11 March, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. QPQ done. No copyvio issues. @Gonzo fan2007: I don't find the hook particularly interesting. Is it very rare for a player to complete two Hail Marys in a season? Tenpop421 (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Tenpop421, it is very rare! Likely never happened before. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:57, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
    • @Gonzo fan2007: fair enough! ALT0 could run, but we'd need to include some sort of stat that says that it is rare (e.g. "the first time this had happened in X years") so it's hook-y to people who don't necessarily know American football. Tenpop421 (talk) 18:02, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Tenpop421 ALT1: ... that during the Hail Larry game, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jeff Janis recorded 145 of his career total of 345 receiving yards and 2 of his 3 career touchdowns? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:22, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Works for me! Hook is short enough, interesting, in article, and cited. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 21:10, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
