Comments[edit]
- General comments
Publishers/stations like National Collegiate Athletic Association, Associated Press/AP News (use one name), WOI-DT, ESPN should not be italicized in refs(realize this is out of GAN scope)Work names (The New York Times, ESPN) occasionally not wikilinked in some refs(ditto)No copyvio concern; Earwig highlights only trivial phrases and proper names
- Lede
MOS:BOLDAVOID is a pet peeve of mine, but I won't hold the present lede (The 2023 NCAA Division I women's basketball championship game was the final game of the 2023 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament
) against this nom; I know that's how many other sports match FAs/GAs do it. Still, I suggest considering rewriting the first sentence to avoid redundancy and get to the important info quickly, as tennis articles tend to do. An advantage of this is that when hovering over a link to this article, the preview would helpfully begin, "The LSU Tigers defeated the Iowa State Hawkeyes 102–86 ..." (e.g.)Include appropriate summary of Media coverage and Aftermath sections in lede
- Participants
ref2 doesn't mention 15–1 conference recordref4 doesn't say that Arkansas was a ranked team (this source focuses on the Jan 19 game, not Dec 29 when they were still ranked). Also doesn't say that they were the "one other" ranked team LSU played"As a top-four seed, their home arena" dangling modifier"first and second round", "second round matchup", etc.: add hyphen (e.g., "first- and second-round") when phrase is used as adjective (in both LSU and Iowa sections)"ended up winning by seven to advance to the national championship game" missing ref?ref13, unless I'm missing it, doesn't seem to say this was Iowa's first loss of the season"Caitlin Clark earned consensus national player of the year honors": unfortunately there's no List of U.S. women's college basketball national player of the year awards like men's to link to yet. Consider redlink?"Iowa City; and they" comma instead of semicolon?"They won 77–73 over defending champion South Carolina, who were undefeated at 36–0, to reach the finals": In my memory, this Final Four game was just as and perhaps more hyped than the final, and I would expect to find a bit more detail about it here than just one sentence (such as odds, viewership, etc.) if sources support that
- Game summary
Since most of this play-by-play comes from a single database source – though that's fine for WP:Verifiability – I have some abstract WP:DUE concerns, but nothing in the text jumps out at me in particularLots of redlinks here, but I think most of them are appropriate"Iowa had regained the lead": drop "had"?"LSU retook the lead within the minute": "a minute" instead of "the minute"?"until McKenna Warnock made a free throw": consider "Iowa's McKenna Warnock", though the next sentence implies her team"though two jumpers by Morris": "before" instead of "though"? or split up this sentence – a lot of scoring in one sentenceThe fourth quarter sentences feel generally wordier than the rest of the recap; consider trimming phrases like "in the contest", "to play", and generally splitting up long sentencesref35 says "season-high", not "career-high" assist total"set a new record with 191 total points over the course of the entire tournament": drop "new", "total", and/or "entire"?"scored in a game during the season" unlink "season""Additionally, LSU's 59 points in the first half also": don't need "also" with "additionally""The next night, Reese's cousin Jordan Hawkins ..." missing ref?Two images appropriate and licensed
- Media coverage
ref38 says "most-watched women's college basketball game", not "women's basketball game"Consider adding something that puts this game in context of increasing interest in the sport (such as This Is Not a Moment in Women's Basketball. It's Momentum.)- I couldn't access that link since I don't have a NYT subscription but I tried to add some stuff about basketball and women's sports as a whole.

- Aftermath
I appreciate the matter-of-fact language in this somewhat difficult section"similar actions, instead, receiving praise" drop second comma – or split up this and other sentences in this section into shorter, more manageable sentences"responded to the criticism by saying that it was": shorten to "said that the criticism was"?"she was 'too hood'": maybe "she was considered 'too hood'"?"ghetto": change link to Ghetto#Modern usage and reinterpretations of "ghetto"?"LSU announced that they will hold a championship parade": use past tense here and later; consider finding source from after the event?Perhaps include a photo from Category:Louisiana State University Tigers White House visit (May 2023)Additionally should ask to include and cite the actual White House visit.

@PCN02WPS: Hope that this is a reasonable number of asks in a GAN review, most of them small grammar things. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 03:04, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- @PCN02WPS: Just checking in that you've seen this and want to make revisions, in particular for the handful of missing refs and (slight) failed verifications. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 15:21, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Hameltion Hi, sorry for the delay. I am planning to address your comments, though I've been traveling a lot lately and haven't had much time. I will get to them in the next few days if that's alright with you. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 16:39, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- @PCN02WPS: Great – no rush, just wanted to make sure you'd seen. :) Hameltion (talk | contribs) 17:48, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- @PCN02WPS: Good work so far, about four or five things left I'd appreciate your comment or action on but nearly there. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 03:13, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
