Prose

• I think saying a person is known for an award is a bit of an odd way to word it. How about "He is known for his participation in the 1989 Georgetown vs. Princeton men's basketball game, and was the 1989 Ivy League Men's Basketball Player of the Year."
  • OK-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:59, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• In the infobox, what is the source for his height?
  • Maybe this. I don't know how to cite in the infobox.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:21, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Okay, I found out one puts the reference in height_footnote =. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 01:58, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I never felt this was a linkworthy subject.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:21, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• "In the rematch, three weeks later," – recommend "In the rematch held three weeks later" for better flow.
  • Thx-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:24, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• "In the March 1988, Penn–Princeton game" – I do not speak American English but I do not believe the comma is necessary here.
  • Correct-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:32, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• "74–63 Ivy League clinching" – I would wikilink Ivy League.
  • I did not notice this was the first use.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:35, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• "#1 seed" > "number 1 seed".
  • Done-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• "#16" > "number 16".
  • Done-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• "and earned Ivy League Men's Basketball Player of the Year in 1989" – wikilink as first mention in the body.
  • OK-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• In § External links, should stats not be capitalised?
  • I guess.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:44, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
