Hello again, Tony. I'll take on this review. I'll leave initial feedback either tomorrow or Saturday before I leave for a week-long vacation. When I get back on August 22nd, I'll leave more detailed feedback (or sooner if I can get some internet while I'm gone, albeit that's highly unlikely to occur). Sportsguy17 (TC) 22:59, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On first glance, things are looking pretty good. Dablinks, reflinks, and checklinks show nothing of concern, and the images appear to be fair use, no copyvios, etc. I will give more detailed feedback next week, but it shouldn't be much more than minor issues with mechanics. Good job on this article. Sportsguy17 (TC) 23:36, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking some time with this. I am confused by the fact that this is now on hold. There are no actions for me to take, making such a status a bit confounding.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:13, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It was put on hold because if it's "On Review", it is assumed that it is actively being reviewed, but since I was away for a week, I put it on hold so that people would know that it is not actively being reviewed. "On Hold", at least to me, simply means that the reviewer is not actively leaving feedback and/or suggestions and corrections are being made.
Anyways, expect a detailed review in the next 2-3 days. Sportsguy17 (TC) 03:32, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note to Sportsguy17: the standard meaning of "on hold" is that the article has been reviewed, and the nomination is being held open for the nominator to fix the issues that were raised. (See WP:GANI#Reviewing for more details.) As long as the review has been opened but the reviewer is still working on it, it is "on review". Also, it has been over a month since you worked on the review, and over three weeks since you last edited on Wikipedia. Under the circumstances, if you haven't returned within a week's time, we'll have to consider the review abandoned and put the nomination back into the reviewing pool. I hope you see this before then. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:27, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusion

[edit]

Since Sportsguy17 hasn't touched this review in almost a month and a half, and has not edited Wikipedia in a full month, I'm closing this review and putting the nomination back into the reviewing pool. As it will be the oldest unreviewed nomination, I definitely hope it will be picked up before the end of the GA Cup, which is currently ongoing. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:03, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to take this bit by bit, so more to follow. Feel free to start making changes as we go, or leave it all to the end. Harrias talk 18:41, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Roster
  • This section is hard to follow for a layperson, given all the "redshirt" jargon. If possible, try and write this so an idiot (me) could understand it. A specific problem is the term "to burn his redshirt" which I assume means he had to play, thus losing redshirt status, but even if so, it doesn't seem encyclopaedic language.
  • The last sentence says that DJ Wilson was redshirted, but he doesn't have the "Current redshirt" symbol in the table, only Duncan Robinson does. Is that a mistake, or am I misinterpreting the table?
Schedule
  • I haven't read beyond the first paragraph yet, but is written in the future tense, but I assume it is referring to events which have happened, therefore it needs the tense changing.

That's where I'll leave it for the moment, more to come. Harrias talk 14:56, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics

That completes my first run through. In general this is a decent article. The schedule section gets a little repetitive, but as it is describing a string of matches, that is unsurprising. I wasn't keen on the "the match featured so-and-so, the son/brother/nephew of former Michigan player so-and-so" which just seemed like superfluous trivia to me, but I'm not that bothered. A few jargon terms could do with wikilinking; I'd advise going through and making sure everything is linked on first mention. I'll put the article on hold for the moment.

  • Thanks for your work on this. Sorry for the delay getting back to it. I've made a few changes, and I'm happy that it meets the GA criteria now, though I think the prose in particular would need work before it could go any further. Harrias talk 10:32, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
