Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I will use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
It contains copyright infringements -
It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Prose

Lede

Lede has all sorts of issues of WP:SEAOFBLUE. e.g - former WWE Intercontinental Champion Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure the debut and nickname couldn't be put into prose... Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Seems a bit like it's in universe. The lede just covers what Braun has done; rather than any impact on the outside world, his strongman career and media career. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

General

We don't need to say that somewhere is particularly near somewhere else, unless that's pertinent. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
When you use an acronym, you need to use the full term first, such as USSSA -> United States Specialty Sports Association. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Lots of jargon, such as RBIs Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Still lots of WP:SEAOFBLUE in the prose. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Lots of acronyms not explained actually, such as NAS Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
See MOS:NUM, we use fifth/seventh > 5th/7th. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What is that infobox for? Seems like massive cruft to me. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(with the first name a reference to Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun) - This should really be its own sentence. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Quite a bit of cruft here, specifically always mentioning "WWE" or (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley (collectively known as The Dudley Boyz) Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
An incredible amount of WP:OL here that needs cleanup Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:Proseline is an issue here. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Review meta comments

I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have outstanding GA and FA nominations that require reviewing at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these, however it's definitely not mandatory. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}
- Sorry, I'm going to have to fail this one. In addition to the above issues, there's quite a bit that needs cleanup. For some examples:
Paragraphs are very long need splitting
OL
Needs more subsections
WP:PROSELINE - this is the biggest issue.
The personal life section is pretty pointless - either needs expansion or culling

If you can clear this stuff up, it'll be worth a second nomination. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:23, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
