Notes

addes ice hockey execs and minnesota cat
added commons cat
don't see birthdate in ref 1
put playing position "end" in infobox
"winning All-American honors by Walter Camp." Dont see that in ref 3
"described by several newspapers as a "human battering ram" only one is cited
where did you get the playing spans for basketball and baseball on the infobox. Those dont seem to be correlated in the body. Those might be true based off ref 7. It also said he played freshman baseball in ref 7 so i think he had 4 years in baseball
"As a junior, Loudon was named team captain in both basketball and baseball" that ref seems to be talking about his senior year and it doesnt say he was named captain. He could have been captain earlier than that right?
"Barrett Award" that might be true but i dont see where the source has a name for it.
link artilleryman
link AHA to American Hockey Association (1926–1942) i also linked loudon at that article
"president of the Central Hockey League" already linked above and actually you can just use abbreviations since you already spelled that out above
"elected president of the American Hockey Association (AHA)" you can just say AHA
link millers on coaching section of infobox. Actually on second thought i dont see that in the body.
i think northwestern hospital might be this
where'd you get 1926 for millers in the infobox, don't see that in the sources
I don't see in the sources where it said he was a owner of the millers

That's all I think. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 06:05, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

don't see birthdate in ref 1
- Not sure where I got that – removed.
put playing position "end" in infobox
- Added.
"winning All-American honors by Walter Camp." Dont see that in ref 3
- Found a ref mentioning it, although I'm not convinced it was true so I put that it was 'all-american according to one source'
"described by several newspapers as a "human battering ram" only one is cited
- Re-worded.
