Comments
[edit]- Images
- The images you have are fine. I'm guessing there was no free or fair-use image available of Farmer himself? Obviously it's no mark against the article if nothing exists, but it would be nice.
- Unfortunately, no. I even looked for his federal mugshot, thinking it would be {{PD-USGov}} (though perhaps in bad taste), but I didn't find anything. Doing my part to get to Rupp once a year to get pictures of the new guys so we don't have this issue again! :) Acdixon (talk · contribs) 20:48, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- Early life
- It might be useful to mention where Clay County is, e.g., "... in eastern Kentucky..."
- Worked in as best I could. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 20:48, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- College basketball, freshman
- "...decimated by attrition." Could probably just be "decimated".
- Done, but I think this works better if we change "team" to "roster". Acdixon (talk · contribs) 20:48, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- College basketball, sophomore
- There's some inconsistency between "3 pointer" and "three pointer" and whether hyphens are used. I don't think there's one right answer, but you should probably choose one and stick with it.
- Good catch. I think I fixed them all. Note that I had to leave a couple because of WP:NUMNOTES (e.g. "four 3-point shots" as opposed to "four three-point shots"). Acdixon (talk · contribs) 20:48, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- Second term
- I notice you don't ever name his girlfriend. Is there some reason for that?
- I thought there was some policy or other that deemed it a bad idea. It was reported in the Herald-Leader. I can add it if it seems glaring in its absence. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 20:48, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- It's fine. It's not necessary, I just thought it was odd, but with BLPs I guess it's better to err on the safe side of things. --Coemgenus (talk) 00:56, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

@Acdixon: this is an exceptionally well-done article. After these (minor) issues are resolved, I look forward to promoting it. --Coemgenus (talk) 19:05, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Coemgenus: Thanks for taking the time to review and for your helpful and kind comments. Hopefully, the next stop is WP:FAC and a WP:FOUR award. Would you be available to review at FAC if I let you know when I list it there? Acdixon (talk · contribs) 20:48, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- This all looks fine, I'll promote it. I'll probably see it when it shows up at FAC, but feel free to leave a note on my talk page. Good luck! --Coemgenus (talk) 00:56, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
