QPQ: Done.

Overall:   @Onegreatjoke: I was the one who reviewed and promoted the article to GA, so I'm definitely willing to take over this nomination, as well! To be honest, everything looks fine, including your QPQ. I just think you could optimize the hook even more by focusing on the comparison between Wembanyama and Lebron, but this is mainly a suggestion, rather than a must. On a side note, was "being described him" a typo? That pronoun looks a bit weirdly-placed to me... Please, let me know what you think about this. Oltrepier (talk) 14:29, 29 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Oltrepier: How about, ALT1: ... that Victor Wembanyama is regarded as one of the greatest NBA prospects of his generation even being described as the most anticipated prospect since LeBron James in 2003? Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:15, 29 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Onegreatjoke: Nice, although I was thinking more about something like this:
ALT2: ... that Victor Wembanyama has been described as the most anticipated NBA prospect since LeBron James in 2003?

  Sorry, I forgot to call for help from other reviewers in here... Oltrepier (talk) 10:01, 7 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately, Oltrepier, you can't review a DYK nom if you reviewed it for GA status as well.   might we get another reviewer in here? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 02:30, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
theleekycauldron Sorry, I genuinely didn't know that... Good thing that I picked the red arrow over the green tick, then! : D Oltrepier (talk) 13:49, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Length Newness Cited hook Interest Sources Neutrality Plagiarism/paraphrase
I see no problems. All cited, earwig only tagged the LeBron quote, length/newness to good article are fine, etc.

Birth

edit

It says he became a naturalized French citizen before was born. It also says he was born in France then later it says he was born in Belgium. Marciano118 (talk) 19:20, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Marciano118 If you read it properly, it's his father who was born in Belgium and then was naturalized afterwards. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 19:51, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

FIBA olympics awards

edit

Is it appropriate to update his awards and achievements with the FIBA olympics rising star and 1st team all-olympics awards? Or are those generally not included? I see that LeBron's article has already been updated with the MVP. 2601:282:8903:90E0:B42F:550F:8F81:8A5D (talk) 01:44, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
