Hi, I'll be reviewing this GAN as part of the ongoing GAN backlog drive. --Vacant0 (talk) 08:51, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Initial comments

• There is unlikely any copyright violation in the article. Earwig's Copyvio Detector has reported only 29.6% in similarity.
• There are no cleanup banners, such as those listed at WP:QF, in the article.
• The article is stable. There has not been any edit warring since the article was created.
• No previous GA reviews.

The rest of the review will be focused on the six GA criteria.

General comments

• Prose, spelling, and grammar checking.
  • No problems were found in the lede.
  • No problems were found in the rest of the article.
• Checking whether the article complies with MOS.
  • Infobox: Per MOS:NOBR, change the break tags (<br/>) to an unbulleted list using the {{unbulleted list|first item|second item}} template.
  • Lede: The article currently stands at 27k bytes, per MOS:LEADLENGTH there should be at least one more paragraph to summarise the article. Citations are also not needed if the content is already present in the body of an article.
  • The article complies with the MOS:LAYOUT and MOS:WTW guidelines. There is no fiction and embedded lists within the article, so I am skipping MOS:WAF and MOS:EMBED.
• Checking refs, verifiability, and whether there is original research.
  • References section (note and references split) with {{notelist}} and {{reflist}} templates is present in the article.
  • No referencing issues.
  • Listed references are reliable, they are mostly news websites.
    • Ref 10 and 32 (The Roanoke Times) are subscription-locked. Change the URL access level to "subscription".
    • Add access date to Ref 42.
    • Birth date is not present in the body and is missing a reference.
    • Florida: "Patterson competed for the Florida Gators in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) as a senior in 2022." is unsourced.
  • Spotchecked Ref 1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 14, 20, 22, 26, 33, 35, 39, Ref 42–all verify the cited content except Ref 1 noted down below. AGF on other citations.
    • Ref 1 backs up the claim about his parents but there is no mention that he is "A native of Columbia, South Carolina".
  • Copyvio already checked.
• Checking whether the article is broad in its coverage.
  • The article addresses the main aspects and stays focused on the topic.
• Checking whether the article is presented from an NPOV standpoint.
  • The article meets the criteria and is written in encyclopedic language.
• Checking whether the article is stable.
  • As noted in the initial comments, there has not been any edit warring or content dispute since the article was created.
• Checking images.
  • There are no images in the article but it would be good to add one in the future.
