  • While the 200-character guideline can be stretched for multi-article nominations, I can see your point. So, how about...
For the reviewer: The team article includes the fact that the Commodores return all five starters, and specifically names both Ezeli and Taylor as returning starters. The facts specific to Ezeli and Taylor are in their articles. — Dale Arnett (talk) 19:50, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Hook: Reviewing alt, striking original. Short enough, interesting enough, cited.
Team: New enough, long enough. Image is PD. "major boost" is not NPOV, and is not in the sources. Paraphrasing seems okay.
Festus: New enough, long enough. No images. "Seemingly realistic" is not encyclopedic, as it is a judgment call; I know the source uses similar language, but we need to keep an encyclopedic tone. Paraphrasing seems fine.
Jeffery: Long enough, new enough. "eventually choosing Vandy" - Please use Vanderbilt, as Vandy would be unencyclopedic. "immediate impact" is not stated in the source and possibly not encyclopedic. Paraphrasing seems fine.
Summary: Please fix the articles to give them a more encyclopedic and NPOV tone. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:28, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Was out for most of the day. Will work on it tonight... — Dale Arnett (talk) 02:29, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
  • One down (Ezeli)... — Dale Arnett (talk) 02:42, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Make that two (Taylor). I think I'm going to go to bed soon... will do the team article tomorrow. — Dale Arnett (talk) 04:33, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Three down now (team). — Dale Arnett (talk) 21:12, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Good to go, looks more neutral and encyclopedic. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:12, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
