Lead
[edit]- "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
[edit]- "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
[edit]- 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}

- Wikilink the first mention of the terms points, rebounds and assists to their respective articles

- "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
[edit]- 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
[edit]- "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.

Editing for tomorrow
[edit]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)

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)

The result of the move request was: not moved by strong consensus. Andrewa (talk) 10:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
– 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)
- Oppose. No clear primary topic. Current page views are misleading because we are currently in the middle of the NBA playoffs. —Lowellian (reply) 02:41, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose and WP:SNOW close. ScarletViolet (talk • contribs) 12:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose There is no clear primary topic. Doctorstrange617 (talk) 15:34, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
