I will (ideally) review this tomorrow (2 August UTC). ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 05:47, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Just a quick heads-up that I've been told offwiki Luna doesn't have internet access for the next few days, but will be able to resume the reviews after. Vaticidalprophet 16:02, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Pass. This is the longest review I have ever done, and it is for an article that is just 1,000 words – oops. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 16:34, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Prose
[edit]- In § High school, recommend opening with his full name.
- OK--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:23, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "in the inner city" – do we know what city this refers to?
- Thx.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:26, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "At Canisius, Hall is the all-time Canisius" – rephrase to avoid using Canisius twice in close-succession. Also:
- fixed-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:28, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- The following five few sentences all commence with He; they would look better alternating between he and Hall.
- Thx-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:31, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "most recent Canisius NBA draftee" – wikilink NBA.
- Linked NBA draft-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:33, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "4-year teammate Mike Smrek (2nd round, 1st pick) 1985 NBA draft" – I think this should be Mike Smrek's.
- Different fix.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:35, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "scoring records, he formerly held" – recommend using Hall here.
- Thx-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "(surpassed Al McClain, 1980–84 1861 and surpassed by Reggie Lewis, 1983–87 2709)" is a bit jargon-y; recommend rephrasing. I reckon this can be written and expanded upon a bit without the parentheses.
- OK.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:40, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "Hall scored 13 points" – I would use he here.
- OK-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:41, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "posted a 32%" – percent per MOS:%.
- OK-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:42, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "back to October 1986 training camp" – pretty sure this needs a the.
- Thx-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:44, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "and he signed with the team in October" – should this not be "that October"?
- Thx-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:45, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "that would visit" – recommend rephrasing as "that would" was just used. And:
- OK-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:47, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "Seoul, Korea" should be Seoul, South Korea.
- OK-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:47, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Wikilink MVP.
- Done-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:49, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "Later in August 1988," – should probably be "Later that August".
- OK-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:51, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "abroad (in the 1988 PBA Reinforced Conference)" – the parentheses are not necessary.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:53, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
