I'll take this review. It will be used in the WikiCup and the ongoing backlog drive.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:

General comments

[edit]
  • The article seems very unbalanced. On the one hand, you have the first two sections, which are cited, precise, and detailed (perhaps a little too much?) On the other hand, the subsections of the "Professional career" section are woefully lacking in detail, with some no more than a few words.
    • As it stands, this situation contravenes MOS:LAYOUT, as MOS:PARA advises against subsections for short paragraphs and single sentences.
    • However, there are also issues with GA criteria 3a) and 4. I would expect this article to contain significantly more detail on Murphy's professional career; it also appears to be WP:UNDUEly weighted towards his college career: that section has 820 words of prose, whereas the "professional career" section has just over 200.
  • I would thus recommend searching for references on Murphy's professional career, or, if that does not prove fruitful, removing the subsections to comply with MOS:LAYOUT.
  • Once that large work has been done, I will perform the source spotcheck and scan for remaining issues. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:11, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
