Hi Sportzeditz. I will review this within a week. -Riley1012 (talk) 20:55, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Good Article review progress box Criteria: 1a. prose () 1b. MoS () 2a. ref layout () 2b. cites WP:RS () 2c. no WP:OR () 2d. no WP:CV () 3a. broadness () 3b. focus () 4. neutral () 5. stable () 6a. free or tagged images () 6b. pics relevant () Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

1. Well-written
The article complies with MoS. The prose overall is excellent. Here are a few grammar corrections:

• In the "High school career" section, the mentions of first-team and second-team selections need to be hyphenated (first-team instead of first team), as they are in the "College career" section.
• "...Clark started on the school's varsity soccer team, but focused on basketball for her final two years." The comma after team either needs to be removed, or you need to add "she" after the word "but"
• "...the first Division I men's or women's player to record consecutive triple-doubles with at least 30 points, and the first women's player..." The comma before "and" should be removed.
• "...and was named tournament most outstanding player (MOP)..." This should be reworded to either "the tournament's most outstanding player" or "the most outstanding player of the tournament"
• "...the AP preseason All-America team, and was named Big Ten preseason player of the year..." The comma should either be removed, or the work "she" should be added after "and"
• "Entering her junior season at Iowa, Clark signed a deal with Nike." Add another word before entering like "when" or "while" to make the phrasing less awkward.

3. Broad
The article is broad in its coverage

4. Neutral
The article is neutral. The discussion of the Angel Reese gesture is particularly well done in terms of neutrality considering the controversy.

5. Stable
This article is stable day-to-day

6. Illustrated
The four images in the article are free and have relevant captions

2. Verifiable
Earwig Copyvio check is fine.

• "Listed at 6 feet 0 inches (1.83 m), Clark plays point guard and has great size for her position." Is there a source for her height? Also it would be helpful to have more context/elaboration on what "great size for her position" means.

I will take a closer look at the sources and finish criteria #2 later. -Riley1012 (talk) 21:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@Riley1012: I have addressed all of the issues so far. Sportzeditz (talk) 01:11, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Sportzeditz. Here's the rest of the review: Ref layout is good. No copyright issues found in source check. No original research. The only issue I found was that reference 1 was a dead URL, but I fixed that. This article is ready to be promoted to GA. -Riley1012 (talk) 14:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
