  @HickoryOughtShirt?4: A few of the passages in the article are too similar to the copy on the Dartmouth Sports website. Could you please check the matches on Earwig and rephrase in your own words? Cielquiparle (talk) 14:08, 20 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Cielquiparle, is it better now? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:10, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
@HickoryOughtShirt?4: Better than before, but we should avoid having exact matches on entire sentences like this one: "His 26 points were second on the team and were the most by a Big Green rookie since Matt Lindblad's 28 in 2010-11." Cielquiparle (talk) 04:08, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Cielquiparle, how about this. It's a bit difficult since it's facts. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:11, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
@HickoryOughtShirt?4: Could you please fix the sentence I quoted above? How would you say it in plain English? There is no reason that entire sentence needs to be word-for-word identical to the sentence as stated in the source. Or, if you really prefer not to rephrase in your own words, could you present it as a direct quote with explicit attribution – e.g. "According to Dartmouth Sports..." or whatever the source is.

Cielquiparle, Again, I am unsure how much more I can reword it but I gave it another shot [1]. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:50, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Scholarship offers?

edit

It is stated that he received scholarship offers from DIII colleges. The defining characteristic of an NCAA Division III member is that there are no athletic scholarships. He may have been recruited, but he was not offered a scholarship by any DIII school.
