Richard Alston (gridiron football)

[edit]
  • ... that Canadian football player Richard Alston both gained and lost a starting role with the Edmonton Eskimos due to a dropped pass?

  • - Length, Date, QPQ, and Earwigs check. Offline ref accepted AGF. Mifter (talk) 06:10, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
    • @Mifter: I want to query you on one thing. Is it clear as written that the dropped pass that resulted in him gaining the starting role and the dropped pass that resulted in him losing the starting role are distinct? If not, do you have any suggestions for improved wording? ~ Rob13Talk 07:37, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- ALT 1 is also approved. I agree that it may be difficult to adequately include considering the character limit. Mifter (talk) 18:45, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
