Overall: The Packers.com citation says he was with the Packers for 34 years, not 36: "Treml filled the demanding posts of film and video director for 34 years". —Bagumba (talk) 08:25, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Bagumba, fixed in the article and in ALT2. Although, at this point I actually probably prefer ALT1. Thoughts? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:25, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Gonzo fan2007: I was leaning toward ALT2, thinking a civilian reading it might not expect photography to be a skill learned while in the military. What do you feel is ALT1's selling point?—Bagumba (talk) 14:42, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Bagumba, I am fine with either. ALT1 just sounds smoother to me, but fine with whichever one. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:37, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: What if you took ALT1's start of "that before filming National Football League games, former Green Bay Packers video director Al Treml was" along with ALT2's ending, "trained in photography while in the United States Army?". Is that any smoother?—Bagumba (talk) 17:20, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Bagumba, I like it. Added ALT3. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:38, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Reviewer: Lightburst (talk · contribs) 18:48, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

I will review this article. I remember it from when it was on the main page at DYK.

Review

1. it is a shame that we do not have any images. Have you checked for any available imagess that he may have taken?
2. "inducted in the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame" I suggest (into)
3. "Vince Lombardi, the Packers head coach and general manager at the time, hired Treml as the Packers film director," unsure if (Packer's or Packers') should used in these instances or it is fine, what do you think?
4. "longest tenured: might need a hyphen
5. "three employees who helped filmed games and practices" might need to change filmed to (film)

• Gonzo fan2007 One more thing - In early life (kid) seems too informal, but I will leave it up to you. Suggest (child) if you change it Lightburst (talk) 20:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Citations to do

1. Lead "was a lifelong Packers fan" is not repeated and cited in the body of the article
2. Lead "Treml worked for local newspapers and TV stations" only one newspaper is listed in the body

Checked

1. Early life citation 1 checks out
2. Career citation 4 is accurate in paragraph one and two
3. Career citations 2 and 3 check out
4. Personal life citations check out

Nice little article! Lightburst (talk) 19:14, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Lightburst, thanks for the review, I think I have addressed all your comments. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:35, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: Thanks so much for the quick response. I hope to pass the nomination this evening after another read through and final checks! Lightburst (talk) 19:40, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
