I'll take a look at this one. Courcelles (talk) 21:45, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lead could be fleshed out to two full paragraphs, it doesn't mention how he got to St. John's, or how long he's been there, just for examples.
- Expanded it somewhat. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 22:32, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What about anything about his life before high school?
- I couldn't find anything except his birthplace. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 22:32, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"18 points and eight rebounds" Either spell out both, or use numerals for both.
- Changed to 8 rebounds. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 22:33, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Spell out UNLV at least once.
- Done. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 22:34, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"For the 2011–2012 season, Glaze decided to wear #55 which was his high school number. Glaze played in a mere 9 games as reserve power forward for the Billikens. The highlight of the year of Glaze was against Alabama State where Glaze played 10 minutes while recording 2 points, 3 rebounds, and an assist.[9] " Only the actual statistics seem sourced, not his number, not the nine games, not the "highlight of the year" bit, just the statistics of the game versus Alabama State.
- I added a source and removed some. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~
"Glaze changed his number prior to the season to #1. " Watch the unsourced sentences
- Removed. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 22:40, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Glaze played in 25 games, a sizable increase in playing time, and had 20 starts. Glaze was used primarily as a hustle player who played anywhere from 10–20 minutes to provide energy. Glaze's best game came against conference foe Duquesne where he tallied 8 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 steals." None of this is sourced by the next reference except "8 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 steals".
- Added a source and removed some. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 22:40, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"The 2012–13 Saint Louis Billikens men's basketball team went 28–7 and earning a postseason ranking of 16th in the nation. Glaze and his team won the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship which earned the Billikens a 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. " Literally none of this but the #4 seed is in the next source provided.
- Trimmed it back a bit. I could have found a source about winning the A10 championship, but I didn't include it since it's not really about Glaze. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 22:48, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to stop now. This isn't hard to fix, but there's clearly a problem in insufficient inline citations going on here. Go through, source everything, and I'll resume this review. On hold for now. Courcelles (talk) 21:55, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Courcelles: Sorry about the sourcing, I should have been more careful and diligent finding sources. Most of this article is based on one that was deleted a few years ago (which I nominated btw, before his pro career). As such it is possible that there were a few unsourced bits. I have addressed all your concerns, do you have any more? ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 22:48, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Take 2

"Correcaminos of the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional" Correcaminos could be wikilinked
- Sure, but it's a redlink. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:12, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"He was dominant in the early season, contributing 19 points and 20 rebounds against the Island Storm, and posting 18 points and 17 rebounds the following game versus the Halifax Hurricanes." needs sourcing
- Look to the next ref. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:12, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"The Billikens however went on a winning streak which eventually placed them in the AP Poll as high as #8." Source?
- Good catch, the highest they were ranked by AP was #10. Source added. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:21, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"He ended up having to sit out the entire season due to surgery on that shoulder." Source?
- Look to the next ref. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:21, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm assuming he graduated from St. Louis and used the graduate transfer rule to avoid sitting out a season? If so, could be added.
- Added. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:24, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think the one-game suspension is a little stretching it for the lead, but everything otherwise looks good up there.
- Replaced with stats. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:26, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
