7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "where he was rated a consensus five-star recruit and one of the best players in the 2019 class." - please clarify in this sentence who rated Edwards a five-star recruit
• "The most heralded player to commit to Georgia in program history," - please clarify in the lead that he committed to playing college basketball for Georgia

Early life

• "after watching his brothers play." - you can write either play the game. or play the sport. to expand this sentence
• "He often played basketball against his brothers at their grandmother's house in the summer." - don't use phrasing such as "in the summer" per MOS:SEASON
• Wikilink college basketball

High school career

• You don't need the acroynms of Amateur Athletic Union since they are not mentioned elsewhere
• "Edwards was considered a four-star recruit" - considered by whom exactly?
• "after the summer of 2016." - another MOS:SEASON violation here
• "since Holy Spirit Prep had "small class sizes and support to help that." - can be changed to either Holy Spirit Prepratory or {{xt|his new high school}
• "Edwards helped Holy Spirit Prep defeat The Heritage School for the Georgia Independent School Association (GISA) Class AAA state championship." - Prepratory
• Wikilink the first mention of the terms points, rebounds and assists to their respective articles
• "He played in the McDonald's All-American Game and Jordan Brand Classic in the spring of 2019." - a third violation of MOS:SEASON

Recruiting

• "By consensus, Edwards was rated a five-star recruit, top-five player, and the top shooting guard in the 2019 class." - please state exactly at the start of this sentence who formed the consensus of Edwards' ability
• "On February 11, 2019, he committed to play for Georgia," - committed to play college basketball for the reasons of clarification
• "Edwards was drawn to Georgia because two of his favorite players, Dwyane Wade and Victor Oladipo, had been coached in college by Georgia head coach Tom Crean." - repetition of the word "Georgia"

College career

• To make it more comfortable to read, the entire first paragraph might be better off divided into two, preferably after the sentence about Edwards' final game of the 2019 Maui Invitiational
• Wikilink the first mention of the term steals to Steal (basketball)
• Wikilink the sole mention in the prose of the term blocks to Block (basketball)
• Wikilink the term overtime to Overtime (sports)

Personal life

• "Edwards' mother, Yvette, and his grandmother, Shirley," - remove "his" from this portion of text
• "He has worn the No. 5 basketball jersey" - the No. term should have the abbr template used on it and displayed as follows; {{xt|No.

References

• All of the hyphens that are contained within the references that feature them should be replaced by en dashes (–)

Editing for tomorrow

I have now been an editor for 4 days, and have made over 100 edits already, as well as creating a new page. I would love to do the honor of adding All-Star under Anthony Edwards’s page, as I am a fan of the Timberwolves. It won’t let me edit, even though I fit the criteria of being able to edit semi-protected wikipedia articles, so I don’t know. DEverything03 (talk) 04:15, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Anthony Edwards’ heights need to be updated to 6’5” now. Larrymarket (talk) 16:36, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

The entry for his college career includes a line where it says Georgia had an overtime defeat “of” South Carolina, but it should say a defeat “to” South Carolina since South Carolina won the game.

The source already says this, it’s just written incorrectly. 2601:5CD:8100:AB90:A5C9:3659:DF5C:9B90 (talk) 11:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 1 May 2024

• Anthony Edwards (basketball) → Anthony Edwards
• Anthony Edwards → Anthony Edwards (disambiguation)

– Anthony Edwards (basketball) is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, based on the page view graph and the google results show the NBA player. 2600:8800:A68B:9C00:4082:2ECA:FD76:FE38 (talk) 05:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose WP:Recentism. Of course Ant's going to get more page views because he's currently starring in the NBA playoffs. Anthony Edwards (actor) won and was nominated for numerous high end acting awards playing a main character in one of the most popular shows of the 1990's (ER). He was also Goose in Top Gun.-- Yankees10 06:17, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose. While the basketball player is clearly the hotter topic right now, the similar page-view graph for 2022 paints a rather different picture. Hqb (talk) 06:42, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose - at a minimum the actor has just as good a claim for primary topic. Leave it as it is. Rikster2 (talk) 13:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
• https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Anthony_Edwards indicates there's a clearly detectable contingent of readers that aren't looking for the proposed primary topic, which gets 870 clicks over 1561 views, so ~55.7%. We definitely shouldn't move without a discussion of long-term significance, but these kinds of numbers aren't actually a definitive case for usage, either. (Oppose) --Joy (talk) 07:58, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose - Both Ant and Goose are relatively well known and the above mentioned data doesn't back up the claim that Ant is the primary topic. I think the pages should stay as they are. Alvaldi (talk) 21:02, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
