Okay I've done a ton of work on this article and am getting ready to nominate it for GA status in a day or two. Quadzilla99 11:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
I just made some minor corrections but this is a well written article. I have one editing question concerning the "Early and college" heading, it is poorly written. Perhaps "Early life and college" or something. My chief complaint though is that half of the references are to the New York Times. While that certainly makes sense, since Bavaro played mostly for the New York Giants, the NY Times website requires you to register and pay in order to view its content. Hence, I and many others cannot see the referenced artices and verify the sources. Is there a way around this or perhaps others sources available to replace the NY Times articles?

My comment above has already been acknowledged and I don't consider it a reason to fail a GA nomination anyways. It is well written with factually accurate sources, it is broad in coverage especially his outside of football life, it is neutral and stable with a very good image that has fair use rationale.

He became an author in September 2008; book seems to be getting decent reviews. That should be added -- and may also lead to a free publicity photo from the press, if anyone wants to take this up ... -- Thatnewguy ( talk) 21:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the names of Mark Bavaro's three children per the policy about names of relatives of living people. They are not notable in their own right so they do not need to be named. I took my queue from this edit, but put back the fact that he has children, because that's notable. Graham 87 10:19, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
