 * Quick-fail assessment


 * 1) The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Verifiability. -
 * 2) The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Neutral point of view. -
 * 3) There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags. -
 * 4) The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars. -
 * 5) The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint. -

I may start this week, and just give me a few days because I have an exam on Monday. Thanks! FairyTailRocks (talk) 06:54, 9 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Lead
 * Link "guard" and "sophomore" to its own article.
 * Although sophomore is an unusual thing to link I have done so.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:40, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * to Avoid redundancy.
 * Fixed another way.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:43, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Replace "IN" to its whole name.
 * O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:45, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Remove "see" in (see video below), per WP:REDEX.
 * Done.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:47, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Don't use currently, as that is conducive to the article growing out of date.
 * O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:53, 16 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Early life
 * Link "senior" and "freshman" to its own article
 * I also find these to be odd links, but I have linked them.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:00, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * What is the meaning of AAA? I assume that it has its own article here. Wikilink it if possible
 * In high school sports, for statewide competition, schools are divided by enrollment size. States typically use one of three designation systems. Class A, B, C, D, etc; Class 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, etc; or Class A, AA, AAA, AAAA, etc. I don't see a proper link.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:07, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I know the meaning of MVP but some readers doesn't know it. Replace to its whole name.
 * Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:09, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * What is AAU?
 * Linked and spelled out.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:13, 17 March 2014 (UTC)


 * College career
 * Can you make this sentence neutral? Seems like WP:EDITORIALIZING to me.
 * Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:44, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

 * In 2 weeks that won't even be true. That change does not even make sense.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:16, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * to Again, avoid redundancy.
 * Redundancy eliminated.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:24, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * to Add a comma, and link seed to Seed (sports)
 * This was a ranking and not a seeding.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:26, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * to
 * This would add obsolescence to the sentence. In 10 months I would have to change it back. That is not a good idea. It should be clear that this paragraph is about the 2013-14 season.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:31, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
