The image of Kyler Murray needs to be in an Oklahoma Sooners jersey not a Texas A&M jersey, as he won his Heisman trophy, and is finishing his career with Oklahoma. Sooner888 (talk) 04:33, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Could we change the photo to an OU photo or maybe him holding the Heisman? Thank you. Stoopsbros (talk) 04:36, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Hi Stoopsbros and welcome to Wikipedia. We can only use photos that are of free use. If someone has personally taken a photo, own the copyright to it, and wishes to upload it to Wikipedia, great! But we can't just use any photo off google.

Update statistics for NCAA-F 2018 season

The two-week mark is approaching (and after the Heisman Trophy awarding) and his statistics are still not updated to reflect the complete regular season (i.e., the addition of the game between Oklahoma and Texas). He threw for 40 touchdowns and over 4,000 yards at its conclusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.109.29.75 (talk) 01:27, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Kyler Murray/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) 12:23, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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 may 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. -

Links

Evening standard and New York post aren't reliable sources. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:27, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

General

From a brief scan, the major issue is that we should have all the statistics tables in the same location. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:24, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is the "Cardinals franchise records" particularly encylopedic? Feels very statcrufty. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

College football statistics has a few issues. Has a key that has things that don't appear in the table. Also, the colours used for the teams breaks MOS:COLOUR. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Per NCAA transfer rules, he had to miss the 2016 season - why? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is there no other info on why Murray wanted to play football? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The article goes from birth to how the person did college football - can we explain what the game is? The body should be readable without touching the lede. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Quite a bit of MOS:BOLDAVOID issues specifically in templates. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
