I'll review this one. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 02:51, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Career

"In 1949, Packers' leadership" → "Packers leadership" - don't think you need a possessive, if you leave the apostrophe, recommend adding "the" before "Packers"
"Atkinson, as well as a number of other Packers supporters, helped organize" → simplify wording, maybe "Atkinson and a number of other Packers supporters helped organize"
"funding drive with a goal of $50,000 US$50,000" → duplicated
"to the Packers' board of directors
Is there a reason that "New City Stadium" is italicized?
"who advocated for causes related to the Packers" → because "Packers" is repeated a lot, maybe this could be changed to "related to the team"

Personal life

Location of death should be included in the body and cited.

That's all I've got on prose; pretty short article and the prose that's there is well written. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 02:51, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PCN02WPS, I think I got everything. Thanks for the review. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:30, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
