  • Change "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong" to "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Congs"
  • Fix issues from GA review:
    • It's poorly sourced for it's length, only 16 citations in a article that is about 50 KB in length.
    • There are whole sections that are completely unsourced
    • Poor prose throughout, many grammar errors and one sentence paragraphs.
    • Merge or remove the Ranking in heavyweight history subsection, unless it could be expanded more than a sentence (was expanded)
    • The Ali in the media section should be converted into prose
    • The last sentence of in retirement should be moved to the personal life section
    • Needs a bit of a trimming his biography section, needs more info about his legacy (which is poorly sourced anyways).
    • Lead needs to be expanded per WP:LEAD
    • Needs a strong PoV check, parts of the article is written from a fan perspective, sentences like "Cassius Clay indeed "Shook up the world!" as he promised." should be removed.
  • Add "a.k.a. Cassius Clay" to the list of documentaries (1970)
  • Explain why Ali was stripped of his title in 1964, this is currently mentioned in the list at the end without any reason being given
  • Add the final decision of the Supreme Court on Ali's refusing to serve in the military. Several court decisions are mentioned but the final conclusion is missing completely!
  • Properly format all references.
  • Update Antonio Inoki from being a "kickboxer" to a "catch wrestler" - he was trained by Karl Gotch in shoot style wrestling.
  • Mention the fact that Ali called Frazier an "Uncle Tom" and "a dumb gorilla," both of which were widely reported in the press at the time.
  • Add information about his darts match with Alan Evans (see his wiki page)
  • Add Muhammad Ali, Julie Taymor & Tito Puente Received Honorary Degrees at Columbia University on May 19, 1999 Srw15 (talk) 16:49, 21 January 2010 (UTC)srw15 [1][reply]
