• Good article. Checks out for eligibility, length, and earwig compliance. Direct copyedited the article. Not a fan of ALT0, as it's not unique to Wroblewski. I prefer ALT 1 or ALT 6, which I read from the article but is not included here:— Preceding unsigned comment added by Longhornsg (talk • contribs) 20:55, June 20, 2023 (UTC)
  • ALT6:... that Chris Wroblewski is the slowest player to reach 1,000 points Cornell history? Source:ellbigred.com/documents/2013/5/9/MBKBRecordBook.pdf
• I would prefer any of the above to ALT6 and I don't think ALT1 is the best of the rest.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:01, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
  • @Longhornsg:, Isn't ALT4 more "unique" than ALT1? Why isn't ALT3 unique? Isn't ALT5 unique to him?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:18, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
• ALT7 ... that Chris Wroblewski was the starting point guard for the winningest team in Ivy League history?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:20, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
  • I have revised ALT0 as ALT7 to make it unique.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:21, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

• @TonyTheTiger and Longhornsg: where does this stand? It has been over a month since the last comment. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:32, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

My bad. Did another spot check of the article. Had already approved the submission, now approving ALT7, which I like the best. Longhornsg (talk) 13:36, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Record book self-contradictions

I have never seen a player whose career was misrepresented in record books as curiously as Chris Wroblewski. I have dug up parts of various Ivy League record books and found three self-contradictions:

1. The 2013–14 edition: list him on page 79 as the 2008–09 3-pt% season leader (Ivy Games only) at 52.4%, but on page 78 omits him from the list of best all-time Ivy Seasons in a list extending to 16th-T 51.2%.
2. The 2018–19 edition: lists him on page 19 as only a 2011 Academic All-Ivy selection, but in both the 2010–11 and 2011–12 season sections on page 42 lists him as Academic All-Ivy
3. The 2018–19 Ivy Record book lists his Ivy Rookie of the Week Performances on page 41, but the 2022–23 Cornell record book omits these on page 52.

Does anyone have access to more recent editions that might include corrections?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 11:39, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Comments

• He got no college scholarship offers in high school. "got" -> "received"
  • Thx-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:38, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
• How do you know he was born in 1989/1990?
  • Just guessing based on class levels and dates in school, if I recall correctly.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:25, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
• As a sophomore for a seniorless 2005–06 Highland Park team, he posted 28 points in a 60–58 overtime victory over Mount Carmel High School., is the 28 points something notable or was the game notable? Is this just a random high school game where he scored 28 points? Also, "seniorless" is not a word.
  • I am just pointing out that he scored nearly half his team's points in a game as a sophomore.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:11, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
• Wroblewski led the Ivy League in three-point field goal percentage during the Ivy League schedule So, he led three point percentage just during Ivy League Games? Not for the whole season. This seems like a random stat.
  • In American college basketball (and other American college sports), it is common to see league game only stats because it levels the playing field for schools that may play schedules with wide-ranging strengths of schedules. It is somewhat less notable than an overall statistic, but a perfectly valid one to point out that he had some points of excellence.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:13, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
• helped keep number-one ranked Kansas on the ropes at on the ropes is too colloquial. Reword to be more encyclopedic.
  • Thx-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:15, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
• Wroblewski, who started 33 of the 34 games is one of six players, need a comma after "games"
  • Thx-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:18, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
• He led the team in 3pt% "3pt%" needs to be written out like it was in a previous paragraph
  • Done-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:18, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
• Wroblewski was named tri-captain I am pretty into sports and can definitely infer what this means, but are you saying he was named as one of three captains? If so, just state that plainly.
  • Done-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:20, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
• and with 21 points, became his first career double-double missing "it" or "the game". Like what exactly became his first career double-double?
  • Revised-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:25, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
• In his 104th career game, Wroblewski established a Cornell record for the slowest achievement of 1000 career points scored. - no comment here, just made me laugh
  • We cover everything.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:05, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
