Things check out; just some minor copy tweaks. Ping me when done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:23, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

Copy changes

• Groves accepted, and taught his first class at Centre in October 1940 Remove comma (WP:CINS)
• He went back to Iran a final time in 1966 to preach and while there he helped to found Damavand College. try He went back to Iran a final time in 1966 to preach; while there, he helped to found Damavand College.
• Very shortly after Groves was married to Estelle Crawford, on March 10, 1925, the couple left for missionary work at the American School of Tehran (now Alborz Mandegar High School) in Tehran, at the time led by Lafayette alumnus Samuel Martin Jordan, as a part of the "Lafayette in Persia" program. Consider rewording this long sentence or possibly splitting.
• he agreed and his resignation was set to be effective August 31, 1957 Comma after "agreed"
• Groves became engaged to Estelle Crawford in June 1924 and they married on February 28, 1925. Needs comma after 1924
  • @Sammi Brie: Thank you for the review! All prose/ce changes have been made as suggested - if you want it, this is the quote from FN 14: Groves was a very hands-on administrator who did not delegate tasks even as the complexity of the college mushroomed. He did secure some grants from outside Kentucky, for example from the Olin and Ford Foundations. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:25, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Sourcing and spot checks

• 1: Centre College biography for birthdate, World War I enlistment, magna cum laude graduation, and Louisville Presbyterian teaching position. Y
• 5: Groves papers at Lafayette College. The bio here mentions his track team captaincy, Board of Foreign Missions work, Albany retirement, and naming as pastor emeritus at Covenant. Y
• 14: Have to AGF on this offline book source.
• 17: Meeting minutes show resignation date (PDF page 329). Y
• 18: Austin College biography of Guerrant (as that's where he once was president) indicates he was an English major at Centre. Y

Earwig doesn't show any issues aside from organizational names, etc.

Images

The only images are from Centre yearbooks without a known copyright notice. No issue. Only alt text I could see is "Refer to caption".
