1957 NCAA University Division Basketball Championship Game[edit]

Nominator(s): Disc Wheel (T + C) 18:36, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We're back, on the Heels of a copy-edit performed by the Guild of Copy Editors's wonderful Twofingered Typist. As the prose seemed to be the primary issue following the dismissal of my last attempt. I feel that now this article's writing is of the caliber for FA status. I'm more than happy to talk any adjustments and reviewer may feel need to be made.

This article details one of the most legendary NCAA Championship games in history as the Wilt Chamberlain led Jayhawks faced off against the undefeated Tar Heels in what turned out to be a triple overtime affair. I know many of you will be clamoring to watch the game upon completion of the article, so here is the link when you would like to view it. Thanks, Disc Wheel (T + C) 18:36, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - spotchecks not done

  • Subscription-required tags should not be included within a different parameter - either use the dedicated parameter or add them outside of the templated citation
  • Be consistent in whether/when you include publishers for periodicals
  • FN23 should use a location parameter rather than a page
  • FN21 should use pp.
  • FN17: not seeing the AP credit at source. Same with FN43
  • FN20: link goes to a login page rather than any visible source. Same with FN79, check for others
  • These have subscription required within the citation for ProQuest, the link will take you to the article if you have a subscription, should be a bit clearer now that I have the proper subscription required notation. Disc Wheel (T + C) 04:48, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does the same hold true for the archive links?
So for the NYT articles there are archived pages of the articles, so I removed the Proquest ones as they just redirect there. Disc Wheel (T + C) 22:29, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • FN55: source gives UP not AP as agency credit. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:11, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Addressed all the above issues and left one comment. Disc Wheel (T + C) 04:48, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinator comment - This has been open for a solid month without any declaration of support for promotion, and doesn't seem to be heading in the right direction at present. Therefore, I will be archiving it shortly and it may be re-nominated after the customary two-week waiting period. In the mean time, please action feedback as appropriate. --Laser brain (talk) 10:29, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
