Error in first paragraph[edit]

It should say that he started after an injury to Nick Foles in the first game of the 2018 season. Wyobeatles (talk) 08:46, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Wyobeatles: We're in 2019. Eagles 24/7 (C) 15:16, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article title[edit]

Reposting from RevanFan's talk page (who moved the page):

The article title should be Gardner Minshew (8,850,000 results) and not Gardner Minshew II (239,000 results), per WP:COMMONNAME and no reason to disambiguate it per WP:NATDIS. Don't just assume that because a person wants to be called something else, that we should automatic move their Wiki article. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 17:55, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

Could we get at least one picture of Minshew on here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.155.95.131 (talk) 23:43, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@63.155.95.131: If you can find an image that isn't copyrighted, sure. But in general it's very hard to find those. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:57, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think the rushing statistics are worth adding for both high school and college years?
- Added both, changed the ref for his college stats to one that includes the rushing stats — Ghost River 17:55, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Minshew signed a contract to join the East Carolina Pirates football team to continue his career at the NCAA Division I level." Technically he didn't sign an grant-in-aid with the football team.
- Rephrased accordingly. — Ghost River 18:27, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No combine or pro days info?
- Expanded accordingly. — Ghost River 18:27, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Watch out for some editorializing words.
- Addressed everything that stuck out to me. — Ghost River 18:27, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just a side note, I would use some of the WP:TWL resources to get around some of the subscription paywalls. Some clips like this is still better than clicking a link to see a large subscribe button blocking the screen.
- I will consider it in the future; between subscriptions offered by my university and paywall bypass filters, I often find it more convenient just to go to the links and sometimes forget that not everyone has those resources. — Ghost River 18:27, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article looks good. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 08:15, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nova Crystallis I have addressed all comments. Please let me know if there's anything else. — Ghost River 18:27, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
