Hello, I am Carbrera, and I'll be reviewing this article for possible good article submission.
Full review coming very soon. Carbrera (talk) 02:09, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
- Please notice that a modern day photograph is captioned "McArthur Court, Oregon's home arena during the 1938–39 season", WP:WEASEL. Mohsinpathania (talk) 18:16, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Mohsinpathania, I'm a little confused as to what is weasel-worded about the caption. The style guideline you cite refers to vague, unsupported claims. The article specifically says that Oregon played at this arena during the season in question, and that is properly cited. Does your concern involve the fact that the photo is from many years after 1938–39? It would be preferable to have an image from the period, but I doubt we could find one that would be available under a free license. In case that was the issue, I clarified the year the picture was taken in the caption. There are photos of the exterior on Commons, if you think one of those would be better.

- The image caption was misleadingly written to imply (at least to me) the image was taken during the 1938-39 season. The actual stadium would have changed significantly since then ? Mohsinpathania (talk) 06:51, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Perhaps the appearance of the court itself would be different, but I doubt that the exterior would have changed that much. With that in mind, I changed the photo to one that shows the outside of the building. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:20, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Also ref #49 Adams, Tom (January 22, 2011). "'Here comes the Tall Firs ... making Oregonians feel good again'". KVAL-TV. is REDLINK. Mohsinpathania (talk) 06:55, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- I found an archived version of the link and added it to the citation. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:20, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Carbrera: It's been almost a month since you expressed interest in doing the review, but it still hasn't been provided. Were you still planning on doing it in the near-future? Giants2008 (Talk) 17:08, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
