- Prose issues
The reviews in the "Critical review" section should be in the past tense, as they were made in the past. Some are in present, while a couple even alternate back and forth. Go back through and make sure the reviews are in the past tense.- I think it is good now.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:27, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
In the "Critical review" section, ...when it described Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski recruits as Uncle Toms → Is it Duke's recruits, or is it Krzyzewski's recruits? If the latter, then add an 's at the end there.- Thanks.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:18, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Layout issues
I don't think the quote box in the "Ratings" section is necessary and seems to bork the article's layout by unnecessarily sandwiching text between that quote box and the Fab Five image there.- Now that things are rearranged, what do you think?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:15, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
The "Ratings" and "Story" sections should be switched in order. It seems more logical to go into the story and then go into how the film was received (i.e. ratings and critical reception).- Rearranged.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:30, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Verifiability issues
While I saw no problems with most of the sources (they all seem to be in the citations given), refs 12, 13, 15, 22, and 23 (almost all of them except one are from the Forbes.com website) are deadlinks and need to be fixed.
- All swapped out.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:11, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Conclusions
On hold pending improvements to the issues mentioned above. Otherwise, the prose is pretty good (I'll make a couple more copyedits in there), and the coverage is also good. –MuZemike 20:37, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
- Corrections look good.
Passed. –MuZemike 18:18, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
No shorts? edit
Seriously? ESPN began by talking about how they popularized the long shorts the NBA/College wear today, and nothing about them in the article?2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:2098:470C:C641:451E (talk) 00:43, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
