5x expanded by PCN02WPS (talk). Self-nominated at 04:39, 11 December 2022 (UTC).

• @PCN02WPS: I'm not seeing this as a long enough expansion. (Hook's fine, article text has no other issues, etc., and if this gets large enough I'd suggest holding for Dec. 17.) Am I missing something? Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:21, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
  • @Sammi Brie: crap, no you're not missing anything. For some reason I assumed this would pass the 5x threshold and didn't double-check it. The game is on the 16th so I'll try to have the game summary written that night so it'll be over the line in time, if it's alright I'll ping you then.

    • @PCN02WPS: I'll take that. Make sure to do a QPQ too. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:31, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
      • @Sammi Brie: I added the full game summary yesterday, the expansion should be okay length-wise now but I fear I missed the "7 days" mark by half a day or so. If that's a dealbreaker I guess I can renominate if and when it passes GA. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:54, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
        • Given the circumstances, I'm fine with it. QPQ has also been supplied. No issues with the expanded page. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:12, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a. (prose, spelling, and grammar):

   see bottom

   b. (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   All of the names in this article need to be wikilinked per MOS:UL

   Do you mean the names of the individual players? If so, then I disagree; I don't think the linked MOS page supports that (they'd all be redlinks and, while that's not necessarily a bad thing, I'm not convinced they'd all be notable enough to be turned blue). If there's any football-specific terms that need linking, let me know and I can do that (that falls under the "jergon/technical terms" clause of UL).

   Any names that are bluelinks should be linked. Cherrell410 (talk) 02:27, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

   Done, added three links. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 02:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

   @Cherrell410: Sorry, forgot a ping. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 02:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

   "deadlocked" should be wikilinked

   Changed this to another word that more clearly describes what happened. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:36, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a. (reference section):

   b. (citations to reliable sources):

   c. (OR):

   d. (copyvio and plagiarism):

   8.7%!!!

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a. (major aspects):

   b. (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a. (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):

   No media, but media are not required for GA status

   b. (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   per above

7. Overall:

   Pass/fail:

   Suggestions for improvements:

• Lead: The inaugural fenway bowl, the game featured... --> As the inaugural fenway bowl, the game featured...
  • Adjusted, but used different wording. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:36, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
• Background: unable to play their scheduled opponent, smu, was unable to find a replacement --> sentence should be split into 2
  • I disagree; the second part of that sentence explains that SMU wasn't able to replace UVA after they had to drop out. I think it sounds totally natural as is, with only one sentence. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:36, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
• Teams#Cincinnati: set to join --> joined
  • I know this seems pedantic, but Cincinnati won't join the Big 12 until next Saturday, July 1, 2023, so changing it to past tense now would technically be incorrect. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:36, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

(Criteria marked are unassessed)

• @Cherrell410: responses above, thank you for the review. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:37, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
